Brave New World(s)
a guide to Uranus in Gemini
Wishing a happy 4th of July to all who celebrate!
This week’s holiday weekend special we investigate, explosive Uranus moving from earthy Taurus to airy Gemini - what does it mean for the collective, and you personally?
Plus - a Uranus in Gemini preview - the answer to a millennia-old question, do we finally have a positive ID on the Anti-Christ?
Answer - quite possibly. Peter Thiel, surveillance meister is on the case!
On Monday, July 7 Uranus will transition from Taurus where it’s been since 2017 to Gemini where it will remain until November 7, 2025. After popping back to Taurus for the Winter it will then return to Gemini for the next seven years.
The Great Disruptor
Uranus can bring shocking news, revolutionary events, reversals of fortune, sudden progress, and innovative new ways of being and understanding our reality.
Uranus ingresses (changing sign) can be explosive, unlike other outer planets which deliver more of a slow burn – which is fitting because it’s the planet of shocks, breakthroughs, and wake-up calls.
“When Uranus entered Aries in 2011, we had Fukushima and the Arab Spring. Uranus in Taurus in 2018 brought us the crypto boom and disruptions to financial and environmental systems.”
But what about Uranus in Taurus?
Uranus in Taurus revolutionised:
the way we connect to money via new forms of currency (blockchain, crypto, memecoins through to CBDC’s)
the money in our bank accounts (cost of living crisis, anyone - how much is a box of eggs at the moment ffs?)
the way we own and connect to land – from the concept of grounding and meme phrase ‘touch grass’ to Blackrock and Bill Gates (other leading AC contenders) buying ALL OF THE agricultural land, and farmers across the world protesting (India, Netherlands etc)
plus amazing archeological discoveries, and a new interest in world changing knowledge lying beneath our feet – often revealed with brand new Uranian tech (like the Khafre Pyramid project)
As we head towards the initial wrap up of this transit - might we see another major shift in terms of earth – land – resources – money before the year is out?
There are also predictions about geological events, a potential earthquake happening in Japan / Asia predicted by visionary Manga artist Ryo Tatsuki (let’s hope it doesn’t come to pass!)
You can find out more about this in Dan Waites’ World Astrology Report video here:
Uranus in Gemini – what lies ahead?
· the way we communicate, ideate, connect, teach, learn
· how we relate to those closest to us
· reshape the landscape of artificial intelligence & communication
· splitting, fracturing, bifurcation, duality and polar opposites
The last Uranus in Gemini transit 1941-49
WW2 and post-war reconstruction
re-drawing of the world map literally and figuratively
creation of new states often by partition (splitting something into two – very Gemini!)
decline of old world empires
establishment of a new world order, 1944 Bretton Woods - US as the global hegemon backed by the dollar as the global reserve currency
bifurcation into East and West - The Cold War
ascendancy of Hollywood as a global propaganda machine
publication of George Orwell’s 1984 – a glimpse into the future?
Redrawing the map
A key theme – if we relate back to the most recent transit is that of partition and the Balkanisation of Europe.
It is highly likely during this timeframe that we see some sort of resolution in the middle East – but will it be a state for Palestine or will Israel expand its territory as imagined in the Greater Israel Project?
Likewise - Russia / Ukraine. Will Russia absorb parts of Eastern Ukraine or will Ukraine get them back, plus Crimea?
Will we see increasing bifurcation – discussed in my previous article ‘The Split’?
Divided We Fall?
Have you noticed there’s something strange happening? Perhaps it’s been a long time coming? Perhaps you started to notice it in 2020? Perhaps it was on November 6th this year?
We are already seeing factionalism which could result in more permanent splitting, in both the European Union, the United States, and even Canada (the Alberta Separatist movement) …and probably other places, let me know any I’ve left out in the comments!
And another interesting note on political bifurcations, trifurcations…just ‘furcations’ in general: We’re not quite in Uranus in Gemini yet but we have two potential breakway political movements afoot in both the United States with Elon Musk’s new America Party AND here in the UK with Labour MP Zara Sultana leaving the party to ‘co-lead’ a new political party with Jeremy Corbyn. What are the chances of that - any more parties launching? Let me know…
Speaking of the Oasis Reunion Tour - I cannot believe (well I can, because I love astrology) that it’s kicking off just as we enter Uranus (explosive) in Gemini (sibling relationships) The long anticipated massive pay day 40 date mega tour kicks off tonight in Cardiff, Wales. Given the warring brothers history, temperament and Uranus ingress into Gemini - I give it till Monday! :P
Uranus in Gemini – way back when
Much earlier Uranus in Gemini transits hundreds of years ago saw:
the development of the printing press
Newtons laws of motion
the discovery of Uranus itself by William Herschel!
INTERESTING ASTRO FACT!
Uranus was discovered at 24 degrees, 25 minutes of Gemini, the so-called ‘Uranian degree’ which is found to feature heavily in the charts of key people in astrology such as Donna Cunningham, Michel Gauquelin, Liz Greene, Isabel Hickey, Noel Tyl. (Thanks to Anne Whitaker for this very informative article!)
Check your chart – do you have anything on or very close to this 24’ 25” of Gemini?
If so, it could explain why you’re reading The AstroTerica Substack!
Uranus disrupts but doesn’t necessarily improve. Therefore the best outcomes will depend on you making conscious choices in how to navigate these changes. That means this transit will accelerate the bifurcation that appears to be opening up in humanity: the split between those who think and are awake and those who don’t. Or active vs passive, conscious vs unconscious, authentic vs fake, and so on.
The Bigger Picture
So, we will definitely see shocking new developments Uranian themes of technology, data, electricity, nuclear power, all things digital, paradigm shifting ideas and innovations galore.
But Uranus ingressing into Gemini is also set against a backdrop of an aspect astrologers have talked about for decades – a Grand Trine between him and Neptune in Aries, plus Pluto in Aquarius: a veritable holy trinity of air and fire.
The Leo King reminds us that this aspect was in effect during times of huge upheaval and new worlds; The Biblical Exodus and the Great Schism.
This is definitely not a nothing burger.
Lighting Bolts from the heavens
Another key theme is, of course, communication.
The internet, the way we use it, the encroachment of AI into the workplace and social spaces means the world will look very different at the end of this seven-year transit.
A story emerged this week, alarming and amusing in equal measure; nothing screams Uranus (revelations) in Gemini (polarity) like the accidental reveal of the Anti Christ.
Check out this New York Times interview with former PayPal mafioso and Palantir founder, Peter Thiel.
Thiel is a top donor to the recent Trump presidential campaign, Lord of the Rings ultra-stan, and a libertarian ‘disruptor’ with a side-hustle focused on defeating the Anti-Christ. (Where does he find the time?)
It’s worth watching the last few minutes of this video for the amusing moment where, after setting out his argument that the Anti-Christ is likely a heady combo of Klaus Schwab and / or Greta Thunberg - under the glare of interviewer Ross Douthat’s questioning, a thin patina of sweat starts to form, and it appears to cross Thiel’s mind, perhaps for the first time, that the Anti-christ he’s concerned about might actually be …well…
…HIM!!!.
EEEEEKKKKK!!!!!
In short, (I watched the whole thing so you don’t have to) the main takeaways are that Thiel would rather have Armageddon than ‘stagnation’. Stagnation seems to be the main thing that keeps him up at night. That and having to inject himself with some kind of anti-venom every 90 minutes. (Just kidding, Peter!)
He also hesitates for soooo long when asked the question: ‘should the human race be saved?’ we can safely assume that he’s in two minds (how Gemini!) about that one.
Thiel is actually a Libran (sorry about that – so many rogue Librans running around atm- wtf?!) but we don’t have a birth time for him.
This is perhaps understandable given that he might be the Anti-Christ, and therefore must retain some element of mystery and, indeed, surprise (how Uranus!)
Astrologers out there – which do you think it is – one has his moon at 29 Capricorn (“tell me about your mother…”) and another at 1 Aquarius (here comes The Singularity!)
This one puts his ascendant at 27 Aquarius which brings him into a nice oppositional relationship in a synastry chart with both late degree Leo ascendants Trump and Thiel’s own ‘man on the inside’ JD Vance.
It also means that Mars and Uranus would have recently been making a testy T square with his ascendant in the last few weeks which could explain why we’ve been hearing a lot about him.
Any astro opinions about Mr PT (or should I say AC?) please do drop them in the comments!
The hefty topic of the Anti-Christ (let’s face it - there’s so many potential candidates) warrants its own Substack article.
And with all the other Biblical Revelations signs recently coming to past – we’ll be tunnelling down this dark and winding rabbit hole soon, so stay tuned for that one. Forewarned is forarmed, innit?
In the meantime here’s a nice video about pretty much the same thing global tech giant Palantir instead.
