Uranus Enters Gemini – Shock & Awe

The big news this month is the final entrance of Uranus into the air sign of Gemini (communication, thoughts, ideas), Saturday, April 25, remaining in Gemini for seven years! Uranus is the disrupter, the sudden events-manager, the interrupter, sending messages from its tilted reality to earth, informing humanity there will be sudden changes. And Gemini? Ruled by Mercury, the two brothers always in conversation, informing humanity the way we think, talk, believe, perceive and interpret the world will shift radically!

We can think of Uranus (higher level of Mercury) as a bee or butterfly (with myriad colors) and Gemini (dispenser of information) as a meadow of countless colorful, fragrant flowers (areas of life) that bees and butterflies (Uranus) visit – flying into, touching, tasting, sipping, absorbing the flower’s nectar, transferring pollen (messages of change) from one flower to another (every area of life). Using this metaphor, it is humanity who is “pollinated” with new, innovative information arriving suddenly and unexpectedly from Uranus. Humanity everywhere, in a blink of an eye, evolves, steps upon the next rung of the evolutionary ladder. It is a zeitgeist moment!

A certain level of shock (and awe) has and will reverberate through societies, culture, humanity and all life endeavors. Uranus is the planet that jolts and astonishes us. Its signature is innovation, evolution, upheaval, revolution – all pushing us forward. Uranus presents us with sudden information that shakes world views. Thoughts, ideas, ways of seeing reality are forever changed! Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, further stimulates our entrance into the new Aquarian era – Gemini/Uranus being its prime messenger.

Uranus is inventive, quick-thinking, often witty, pushing humanity forward at a fast pace. There will be progress in travel, transportation, education, social media, technology, publishing (Sagittarius), in towns, villages, and neighborhoods. The change will occur over time.

The last times Uranus was in Gemini was during the Civil War (1861 to 1865) and World War II (1941 to 1945). Changes always arrive with crisis, tension, chaos and conflict, the heart of which is the new harmony. Crisis becomes polarization becomes a sweep forward into the new. When planets change signs, we change too! New ways of thinking will emerge. We will have to learn to keep up and think differently! Another sign of our Sun’s entrance into the atmosphere and architecture of Aquarius.

Aries	March 21 – April 19: There are several messages attempting to get through to you and they affect your future. These messages are possibly coming through dreams. Have at your bedside pen and paper should you wake in the night (are you sleeping well enough?) with remembered dreams or impressions. A process of inner reckoning is trying to bring you to the next level of awareness, calling you to have intentions for Goodwill in order to create Right Relations. Art helps in this. Remember yourself as an artist long ago?
Taurus	*April 20 – May 20:* It’s important to maintain diplomacy and kind ways of communicating even amidst unceasing responsibilities. There’s a need to be with others, in groups with like-minded people who, like you, have very high objectives. Stand equal with everyone, including those in authority. You have your own authority that others recognize. Do you recognize it? Tend to self with disciplined kindness. Do not control others, as you would not have them control you. Speak of yourself with loving care.
Gemini	*May 21 – June 20:* Have you been feeling your work is less than useful or desirable or recognized or acknowledged? Gems can drop dangerously into boredom, leading to not meeting financial, emotional, psychological or intellectual needs. They wonder what to do and seek freedom and fulfillment. They also want fame and fortune. All our desires and aspirations are embryonic stages of what eventually will be. Life events are slower than our fiery thoughts. What must we must develop along the way?
Cancer	*June 21 – July 22:* Your mind is asking solemn questions about the meaning of life and your life in particular. There’s something important and deep to discuss with friends and family. Do write and draw and open old books and read of things you love. These create a magnetic field around you and call upon what is needed to appear. One day all the fields unite based upon your constant attention. Think on these words – gardens, community, water, seeds, greenhouses, foods, nourishment and a garden cafe.
Leo	*July 23 – August 22:* Notice if you feel certain levels of crisis. Are anyone of your senses heightened? These are small psychological signposts that your emotional life is changing and shifting. There is a kindness and benevolence and then forgiveness, which you do easily. Make sure you research what’s best to do with your finances. Something’s occurring with the economy and the dollar. Don’t simply do as you’ve done before with money. A new reality is emerging. Save more.
Virgo	*August 23 – September 22:* Your need for order, beauty and harmony in relationships and your surroundings will assist you in making new life decisions. When you finally act upon those decisions, events will go easily and smoothly. You are sensitive to the needs of young ones and humanity’s psychological situations. A challenge and work decision presents itself. Focus first upon your needs. When met you can then assist others. If you always give yourself away, soon you’ll simply disappear.
Libra	September 23 – October 22: Notice you begin to seek exactness, precision and perfection, first at work and then with friends, partners and relationships, ‘til finally you become tense and critical about everything and everyone. Be aware of this and try not to fall into this separative way of being. Venus in Taurus seeks comfort and beauty instead of judgments and criticism. Seek first for yourself what brings beauty and comfort. Then offer it to others. Know that someone very close to you needs financial assistance. Discover who they are, ask what they need and help them. They are afraid.
Scorpio	October 23 – November 21: You may find your attention directed toward the animal and/or plant kingdoms. For some reason your intimate relationships are either doing well, or are somewhere far away – no one intimate is around. So you concern yourself with the kingdoms that need you. If it’s gardening, plant a garden of colorful edible flowers and pollinators. For the animal kingdom, tend to their health, teeth, fur, fins, or wings. Their devotion serves us as our presence helps them learn how to be human.
Sagittarius	*November 22 – December 21:* Some of us, feeling we have little safety and experiencing vulnerability, seek security and hope and comfort at home wanting home, to fulfill our deep and needful longings. Is this your situation? It’s good therefore to tend to the home environment – from cleaning and refurbishing to decorating and adding features to create more safety and security. But also beauty. Being attentive to all that surrounds us creates a reflective golden light. Home becomes a lighted temple.
Capricorn	December 22 – January 19: Concerned about money, you attempt to clear bills and debts quickly. Pay bills as they arrive. Then you worry less and can concentrate on communication, important now for more understanding. Should resources be a challenge, begin to learn the art of manifesting. A focusing of the mind on what is needed. Create a list of bills, needs, hopes, wishes and dreams. Write them down every day. Put a price tag on them. Write yourself a check (make believe) with a high amount of money needed. Know it will come to you as needed. You are, we are, magic.
Aquarius	January 20 – February 18: Finances and resources will take a turn upward and although you can be practical, you may seek unusual luxury items that enhance your self-esteem. Should lots of money find you, research how to maintain its value – by investing in silver, for example. You will want to manage your resources in these unusual times in unexpected ways as the tried and true financial path is quickly crumbling. Remember to tithe to organizations that assist those in need, including the animal kingdom.
Pisces	February 19 – March 20: You may be looking in the mirror wondering how you’re seen by others and consider a change in appearance from hair to clothes and even to types and quality of shoes. (note: buy the best). You want to be attractive. But what is beyond attractive is being stylish. Search for elegance and grace (which never go out of style). Altering how we look alters how we feel about ourselves. Tend to forgotten tasks put off for rainy days. Spring is a happy time for you. Hang crystals in all windows. Then hang more.
