Esoteric Astrology as news for week July 9 – 15, 2025

Zeitgeist! Uranus Enters Gemini – a new order of things!

Under the Libra (air) moon Wednesday and ThursdZeitgeist – zite-guyst – societal cultural and intellectual shift.

This has been an eventful and ever-changing astrological year as outer planets (major adjustments for humanity) changed signs and elements (earth, air, fire, water). The cosmic weather (energy) patterns, via elements, shifted from water and earth (quiet, slow) to air and fire (accelerated change). Neptune and Saturn moved into Aries (fire) and this past week, Uranus (the wild child, the revolutionary) entered Gemini (air).

Uranus in Gemini is the big news the astrology world is talking about. Let’s break this down so we can all understand what it means. 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!

It is not without a certain level of shock that will reverberate through societies, culture, humanity and all life endeavors. Uranus is the planet that shocks us. Its signature is innovation, upheaval, revolution, rebellion, offering 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 a certain level of conflict, the heart of which is the new harmony. When planets change signs, we change too! New ways of thinking will emerge. We will have to learn to keep up and think differently!

ARIES: You love and appreciate your work and those you work with. Communication is good with everyone (though you must battle against critical thoughts) and you want to help others more, which inspires them and then work is even better and more fulfilling. Loyalty toward you emerges, and then new goals are considered and workflow increases and so does success. It’s like a river flowing harmoniously for everyone. You stand at the river’s beginning.

TAURUS: You may not be romantic outwardly because of so much work to be done to insure the future’s sustainability. But this doesn’t mean you feel less love. It’s just that you’re focused and determined and disciplined and must follow your instincts and intuition and not let relationship concerns get in the way. You seek intellectual activities that also offer fun and a bit of leisure. The environment is kind to you when you travel. Remember though, health first!

GEMINI: Emotional and then physical safety and stability are concerns now and so you must assess, tend to, create safety measures around your home and self and then ask everyone to help maintain them. Everyone knows you change your mind so often, they really can’t make plans with you. But for now, this has eased up and decisions made are decisions you follow through with. Or try to. Something ended recently, something new about to appear! Keep in touch with friends.

CANCER: You feel the need to communicate with everyone, both casually and in-depth, for you realize everyone has a gift and if they simply talk enough, that gift emerges and then you learn more. So you go out and about and begin to ask questions more, being curious and interested. Know that you, too, have a gift, in fact, many gifts. When you speak, when you come out from under your crab shell, we experience your gifts and we learn from them. You are very perceptive now, more than usual.

LEO: There’s an inner and outer reality concerning things, ideas, people, events that concern you. They seem to be in opposition. You think you have to choose one over the other. Do you? Perhaps not! Oppositions are actually only different sides of the same coin, seeking understanding and then integration. Eventually they come together and unify. What is occurring that seems in opposition? Is it spiritual or material factors, self or others’ needs or values, being worthy or not worthy? Time will integrate the two.

VIRGO: You want to talk about issues and ideas important to you – things held deep inside and not often communicated. Perhaps it’s about what you believe in and how you want to serve self and others. Perhaps a new identity is emerging with all the things you hope, wish and plan to do. You’re practical and inventive and thoroughly modern in your approach. Note what’s important and applicable, especially concerning family, in bringing a new reality forth. At first, it’s shocking. Then accepted.

LIBRA: You are in a place of choice, of planning and of bringing ideas into the world. Plans created long ago are now ready to be implemented, and you’re on the road toward their fulfillment. I hope all that you expected, all that you hoped and waited for, are available. There are some issues hidden behind the scenes not quite ready for the light of day. For now, carefully order and organize your inner self so you can order and organize outer realities, relationships and environments. Did a dream come true? Are there still dreams to be fulfilled?

SCORPIO: As changes continue to unfold, it’s good to have regular get-togethers of friends and acquaintances you care about. Provide food and drink and make them a party! Include local seasonal foods, scatter several interesting books around, set the music to old jazz standards. Perhaps you could suggest a subject to discuss, like how to create communities (the steps), what people would be attracted, the focus and purpose of community and how it would prepare everyone for the new times to come. Allow no criticisms and no wokeness (depressing). Offer give-aways while saying goodbye. 

SAGITTARIUS: Do all that you can to create compromise between yourself and those who believe, have opinions and see issues differently. Small disagreements can escalate quite quickly. Include right relations and goodwill in your compromises, so those around you feel they have been heard and listened to. Ask what they want and need, and this will be reflected back to you in terms of recognition and rewards. Be courageous as you perform these acts of kindness. You’ll become even more attractive and radiant. New vistas beckon ahead, new pathways to walk and pilgrimages too.

CAPRICORN: You could feel a bit overwhelmed due to just too many events and responsibilities and people’s needs flooding your reality. Be sure to eat adequately and in a timely manner, don’t fast too long each day. You have been “on” (tending to others) for a long time (years). With exhaustion, one can lash out with words that hurt everyone, including yourself. Lay low for a while, maintain a bit more solitude, rest and recuperate, allow others to perform tasks while you’re in the garden reading. Tell everyone you need tender loving care.

AQUARIUS: You may need to discuss issues with someone, perhaps a partner, parent, family, friend or roommate. Do this openly with candor and ease, always using a neutral and informational tone. Do not be frightened to discuss finances with intimates (but not with strangers). Information is information and knowing you’re speaking the truth holds you and those listening. Ask for teamwork, cooperation, understanding and consideration. Maintain humor each day as things change and then change more and more. You are adaptable.

PISCES: The focus is on relationships, those close and intimate. This includes work partners and close friends. You find yourself with two trajectories – one seeks to create harmony and goodwill; the other to increase discipline and efficiency, forging ahead with ideas and plans. It seems the two are opposite and sometimes they are. You will have to bring them together, create a unity and synthesis. It may be difficult. Have willingness, dedication and intention. Then harmony prevails. Prayer as a focus helps.
