This week brings one of the most significant astrological shifts of the year and this one sets the tone for the rest of the decade…
Today, Uranus enters Gemini, giving us the first taste of a powerful new cycle that will fully unfold from 2026–2033. Uranus in Taurus brought slow, pent-up change.
Uranus in Gemini speeds everything up.
It disrupts and reveals, pushing us to transform how we communicate, share information, and structure our societies.
Rick Levine described this as moving from tectonic pressure to lightning strikes.
Historically, Uranus in Gemini has coincided with major turning points: the American Revolution, the Civil War, WWII. But Rick also notes that this time, unlike the other instances in history, Uranus will be making supportive aspects to Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto—offering rare potential for creative breakthroughs and cooperation, if we choose awakening over chaos.
He says this dress rehearsal invites you to resolve your inner and our collective tensions before they erupt. His practical guidance?
Keep the energy moving. Communicate honestly. Act locally to help shape the future before it solidifies.
We also have the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10. This lunation highlights questions of responsibility and sustainability. What structures in your life are solid? What needs to change to support your long-term well-being and integrity?
It’s impossible to ignore how these cosmic shifts are mirrored in the upheavals on Earth. We’re witnessing record-breaking floods, fires, and extreme events around the globe.
My heart breaks for everyone impacted by these human tragedies right now.
I was talking with astrologer Shannon Gill, who is on the ground in the Texas Hill Country where much of the devastating flooding is taking place, and we reflected on what it means to not be directly in harm’s way.
When we aren’t in the direct path, our job is to send love and compassion—to fold their hearts in our embrace while they grieve and rebuild. To hold energetic space for their sorrow. To send prayers. To see them resourced and held. And to help where and when we can, with our time, resources, and care.
I often think of it like being on the jetski that pulls surfers out of the whitewash after a heavy crash. Sometimes we’re the ones on the jetski. Other times, we’re the ones caught in the whitewash of life.
The stronger we are, the more capable we are of being of service to those who need our help.
If you’re in a position to help financially, astrologers Shannon Gill and Russel van Olhausen—have started this campaign. [Click here to learn more and contribute.]
While the astrological shifts happening now bring potential for breakthroughs, they can also feel extremely destabilizing.
Astrologer Cameron Allen reminded us that Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius are all in air and fire signs—connected to the nervous system and electricity.
He warned that the pace of life and stimulation will only increase from here, straining our bodies and minds if we don’t care for them consciously.
His advice was simple but profound:
Slow down. Protect your peace. Don’t get swept up in the whirlwind of activity and information.
I’ve found many opportunities over the last few weeks to practice as I can feel the buzzing energy throughout my entire system. I’m finding it ESSENTIAL to give myself more time to wind down before bed at night, prioritizing breathing, gentle stretching and reducing any potential stressors in the environment.
I’ve also been practicing Cameron’s suggested alternate-nostril breathing daily, and I’m finding it’s becoming second nature. It’s such a simple way to support the nervous system, calm the mind, and stay centered while the world seems to spin faster and faster.
If you’ve been feeling the pressure, maybe try adding even one small calming practice to your day.
A few minutes of breathwork, time in nature, turning off the noise. These choices matter now more than ever.
Christopher Renstrom, whose Uranus in Gemini episode drops this week, beautifully framed this transit as not just rebellion for its own sake but awakening…
Uranus overturns the status quo to reveal a higher order, knocking over what seems stable only to show the right way forward.
Right now is one of those moments where our faith can feel shaky, but please remember that there is a higher plan at work—even if we can’t always see it clearly.
I hope this Cosmic Insider gives you some context for the big energies of this week—and some gentle, practical ways to meet them.
With cosmic gratitude,
Amanda
