The game’s demo 'drops' on July 7, 2025, testing our resolve until this coming autumn. Uranus will retrograde, to re-enter the Taurean lands for a few months and only to return to Gemini zone for good in 2026. There it will wander until 2033, before finally leaping into the waters of Cancer.
seven Years of Mental Games
It is not like they never existed; like never happened before: it is actually like the movement to bring things to light will intensify, and |pseudo|new truths will emerge.
Have you ever heard about Prometheus? That Greek mythological character who, they say, was mad as a hatter because he chose to rebel, stealing the fire from the realm of the gods, in order to give it to us. Good: for that is the very archetype of Uranus.
The mess he caused was so massive; so deeply did he provoke the gods, that the guy was condemned to the ultimate 'inferno mode': stranded in the middle of the desert, agonizing in a loop of infinite torture. Don't you worry; in the end, it turned out to be temporary. A savior emerged, and his name was Chiron, but that is a story for another time. and we've got seven years to talk about it.
This fiery metaphor, which speaks to the democratization of knowledge (or its liberation, as I would define it), merges with what is known as the 'lower mind': the mind of the child, of the game —the game of questions and answers; of connecting the dots, much like the neural network. The game of tell me a story and let's see if I buy it: Gemini.
Among many other things, therefore, this astrological transit will test and mature our discernment, our crafting of narratives, and the decoding of them —both our own and those of others. The individual experience regarding this 'leveling up' will, of course and as always, depend on several factors. Depending on how this transit dances with our Natal Chart, we will experience it as either more complex or more fluid; more of a gift or more of a grind and to this is added our own readiness and willingness, the skills we have mastered and those yet to unfold, and how we choose to witness and navigate it —by raising walls of resistance or finding a path to acceptance…
We are already dragging along the issue of currently famous 'disinformation', ladies and gentlemen, and I heard plenty of street talk against it: a lot of whiny crying because of its existence; a lot of unconscious victimhood hidden behind it. Okay, then; let’s stoke the fire: what do you propose to do about it? Do we vindicate the censorship of that which holds no truth? But who shall choose which information is banned and which is permitted? in other words: who will decide what is truth and what is not? And what criteria will they use to apply the filter? Driven by what interests? How do we ensure that their discourse regarding the truth is accurate? Do we consciously wish to surrender this to foreign hands? Or are we walking into it with blind faith? Would you not rather do the work yourself? To learn through the fire of experience? To mature your own critical and analytical eye to unveil truths? To reclaim that power? And by doing so, break free from depending on others and their potential corruption? How will you ever stand on your own if others choose your path? How did you learn to cook? To clean? To drive? The eternal student embodies the great force of Gemini: the awakened mind.
And so, the prize in this passage belongs to those who plunge into the long journey to seize the reins of their inner neural network. I must warn you: the world out there is bound to grow -even more- insane, so there could easily be a demental extension within your very own psyche.
the Reign of the Doubt
Are you aware of the story of Lucifer? AI will tell you, about that name, that it is the Latin translation of the Greek term «Phosphorus» which means «light-bringer»; of the torch; the fire of the gods: the knowledge. That is the biblical Prometheus and it is also known as the fallen angel. The devil; the tempter; the weaver of mental confusion, the King of Doubt. Are you starting to connect the dots? Do you see the path we now walk?
I feel duty-bound to add, right here, the divergent opinion of the Romans. Tradition holds that they believed the true bearer of that demonic title was Venus: Aphrodite, as the evening and morning star —two turning points between darkness and illumination throughout the course of the day. It would be a wonder to summon their sages to enter into debate with the Greeks, but this, anyway, we shall leave for another day.
I propose the following to you: is it not from the question that doubt is born? Would the concept of truth even exist if the question did not? Would we even seek it without it?
Why do we need to seek the truth? Who did hide it? Is appearance not a reflection of all that is, or is our interpretation of it fractured? Is a part of the information hidden from our sight, or has it been distorted? Is the truth, perhaps, shattered into a thousand pieces? Was Siddhartha Gautama 'Buddha' right, when he spoke of Maya? Is reality an illusion?
the Reign of the Reality
Do we anchor reality as truth, then? And reality in matter, in an atheist-materialistic style? Do we ignore that we have the brain capacity to distort it, accompanied by a good tall tale? To deny it, when we panic upon feeling a strident heartbeat? Shall we reject the reality of the intangible? The lord of the I think ergo I exist would never Descart it! And according to Protagoras, the sophist who placed truth beneath his spotlight, man is the measure of all things. Do we throw ourselves -fully and directly- into the equation, as a factor to be considered? To which Nietzsche would add: shall we continue using the term 'objective' when we are but subjects, even if we are 8 billion souls, each observing from their own perspective? From our 'limited' five senses? Do we finally welcome the existence of the sixth? Do we use it to uncover the truth? Will Uranus bring us a seventh? Will it be the famous telepathy?
I am not filling your mind with questions for the mere sake of Gemini fun (though there is that, too): my deliberate intent is to unscrew the nail that stole away your openness so that you may begin to navigate the winds of madness (is that truly madness?):
Have you ever known someone who seemed, to all material eyes, to be happy, yet confessed in intimacy that it was all a facade? Had you already sensed it? Have you ever known the experience of watching a smile traced upon the face of someone holding a sad gaze? Does the presence of sadness steal the truth from that smile? Does one truth undo another? Can multiple truths coexist if they are different? What about opposing truths -do they complete or exclude one another? And it occurs to me: how many absolute or 'objective' truths, divergent among themselves, can be anchored as such? Or even grouped into a single truth that covers everything: is that possible, or is it the very root of the distortion of truth?
How are you handling this machine-gun barrage of questions? How close is your head to exploding? Have you grown tired already? For the truth is, we have only just begun… so I shall leave you with one of my star remedies to accompany -in the background- my own mental-overdrive transits, and I invite you to do the same as you journey on through my words.
SHALL WE CONTINUE?
The truth contains many nuances, they say; it is a complex framework: like a tree, with all its branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits exposed, out in the open, while it continues to bury its roots where they cannot be seen. What lies behind facts? And behind actions? And behind spoken words? And behind silent glances? Is it that which we call intention? Is intention the buried root of the human being? The source of nourishment for everything else? How can this be uncovered?
the Reign of the Correspondence
Nowadays, we speak often of coherence and alignment, to capture its essence: what is felt, what is thought, what is spoken, the deed and, finally, the fruits born from them; consequently, this process is also understood in reverse (what goes around, comes back around: akin to a karmic effect). Could we define truth as a state where all elements work toward a common purpose? Personally, I consider this to be its closest approximation.
Those four steps weave perfectly into the four elements that sustain the astrological gaze: water (emotion), air (communication), fire (action), and earth (materialization). Frankly, laden with so many narratives and endless questions inside the mind, that Geminian air will yearn for answers from its three complementary signs: the earthly results of Virgo, the fiery experience of Sagittarius and the watery intuition of Pisces, in order to tie up any loose ends that prevent the mind from 'V I E W M O R E' clearly on its own.
This is not to say that the remaining signs are irrelevant; the zodiac wheel is a process that requires every single step writtenupon it to complete any cycle; it is simply that these specific forces are the ones in tension with Gemini—hence the choice of the word complementary. Within them will dwell the heaviest labors (first warning for those who embody these signs in human form).
the Reign of the Digievolution
Many are the technologies cast into doubt today: astrology being one of them; numerology and Kabbalah are other examples, having wandered human realms for centuries, if not millennia. Digitalization was never the true star of these r|evolutions, yet we thank it from the bottom of our hearts for the ease that flows from its touch—wonders that once seemed impossible; absolute madness.
We are called to take another step forward (or perhaps several all at once) over these coming years of Uranus in Gemini, shifting the scientific perspective and the counsel of sages born from it. It invites us to trade in ideas, fearless of rejection and its derogatory headlines: madman; lunatic; they're like a light, as we say in Catalonia.
There remains for us to answer the very question that every soul drawn to astrology whispers to themselves:
How Will This Transit Affect Me on a Personal Level?
To find out, you have several options, which I will list in order of the level of accuracy and information they provide:
1. Study astrology: obviously, this is the option from which you will gather the most information. I am leaving links to three of the most renowned Spanish-speaking schools: Cosmograma, Astroterapéutica and Casa XI (I imagine the algorithm will do the rest of the work to present you with other possibilities). Even so, you will find a closer approach to it within this blog with every article I publish.
2. Book a reading with a professional astrologer: you will not have the in-depth development that comes with continuous follow-up, like someone who holds all the necessary data in their hands, but you will enjoy personalized information that shows great promise. Within the schools themselves, you have the option to book readings with their astrologers, and of course, you can find my email address on this blog to get in touch with me, should you wish for me to be the chosen one (of course I offer readings too!).
3. Listen to or read the words of astrological guides who freely share insights across social platforms, tracing the transits and how they touch every sign: there will be no tailored revelations, yet you will find clues and reference points to ease general doubts. As I have done before, I leave you with these references and allow the algorithm to perform its magnificent work: opción I, opción II, opción III.
*to obtain the mandala of your Natal Chart and find out the exact sign where each astrological factor is located, you have several software options that can perform the calculations simply by entering your birth data. I will leave you with the recommendation that I believe is most user-friendly for any beginner: Astro-seek. With this in hand, you can move forward with the third option.
*for now, I hold no intention of whispering such 'personal' counsel from the distant shores of a blog. We shall see, as time unfolds, if my heart shifts its course.
With an Idea and a Song, I'm Out
I have read somewhere that truth is merely a mind game played by the 'powerful' to keep us distracted; that truth does not exist as such—or at least, not as an absolute, pre-established reality. hey say we are actually its creators, but if that is true, there must be an elixir from which this creation emerges: a fountain, a law, a essential truth from which that power is born.
The powerful... the power...
This reminds me that, in my case, I have long held this idea in my mind: that absolute truth|s reside|s hidden within the realm of Scorpio -the realm of taboos, the hidden, the mystical... making the archetype representing Courage (Mars, its traditional ruler) and that of Fear (Pluto, its modern ruler) its drivers and protectors.
I wonder if perhaps the gods decided to place it in the underworld because they realized that human beings were not ready to sustain or manage it. Only those who dared to pay the price demanded by the Ferryman, and overcome the trials imposed there, would be rewarded with such power. Therefore, that would be the reason why the vast majority fears it so much, and so few arm themselves with courage to undertake the journey to meet it. Anyway, to me, such a tale holds a certain sense.
And it is equally true that the universe made sure to align Uranus's entry into Gemini with the arrival of Pluto in Aquarius, so that the stars—quite literally—aligned in the sky, alongside Neptune in Aries -ruled by Mars-. There must be some cosmic interest in having the collective unveil something important during these times!
Yet for this to be, we must be chiseled and refined -plutonically- so we may elevate our consciousness -uranially- and courageously access -Martially- the essence of things; for that is the purest truth, as I understand it, and we baptize it as mystery.
