Uranus in Gemini: Sound Frequencies, Nervous System & the Evolution of the Mind w/ Ari Moshe Wolf

[00:00:00] Amanda: Alright, my friends, we have a major transit coming up here very soon, and it is the movement of Uranus into Gemini. Uranus has been in Taurus for seven years, and I have been hearing astrologers talk about Uranus moving to Gemini for many, many years because there's a lot of things historically that have accompanied Uranus's move into Gemini.

So there's been a lot of conversation about it over the years, and we're right on the brink of it today. We have Ari Moshe Wolf here to talk about not only this transit and what it means kind of from a big picture perspective, but specifically how it relates to sound and sound frequencies. So we are gonna go way deep into this and we have Ari here to guide us through it.

Ari has been teaching astrology since 2011. He has been an Inner Circle guide with us many times, and he is [00:01:00] actually our next upcoming Inner Circle guide as his month will kickoff May 11th. And he is here to talk to us about this topic. He came to us actually excited to talk about this topic. So Ari, welcome back to the Astrology Hub podcast. It's so great to have you here and it feels really important to be having this conversation at this time, and I wanna thank you for being here to have it with us.

Ari: Awesome. Thanks, Amanda. Happy to be here.

Why is Uranus Moving Through Gemini Important?

Amanda: All right. So can you just talk to us, first of all, about the importance of Uranus moving into Gemini in general?

Ari: In general, whenever Uranus will enter into a new sign, as per just the nature of any of the outer planets, it's gonna signify a pretty important shift. So briefly, Uranus corresponds to the intelligent design of creation itself, [00:02:00] and you can think of it as like the program, the way it's set up. So the laws of reality, the way this whole cosmos runs—astrology, you know, the larger mechanism of life—it operates.

Whether or not we understand it, it operates whether or not we even are looking at it or thinking about it. That's why Uranus corresponds to things like astrology, where it's like the planetary movements are happening and the synchronicity, so to speak, of worldly personal events and experience and astrological movements are always happening. But it doesn't really require personal awareness of it for it to be true.

So when it comes to Uranus, we're looking into the whole realm of objective reality. Okay? So every time Uranus moves into a new sign, we're looking at where there's going to be—relative to our understanding and our [00:03:00] reality that we're living in, the paradigm that we're in—there's always gonna be a framework of reality that's just beyond, liberated beyond and above the conditioning that we're familiar with.

So in the same way that we can sort of rise above our state of perception and become an observer of our life and start to see the correlation between personal events and astrology on every level of consciousness in every domain of life, you can say wherever Uranus moves, there's a possibility of rising above the patterns and familiarity that we have with our human life and what it's all about.

So Uranus moving into Gemini we can say is liberation of our mind. There are ways of thinking, thought forms, social opinions, where knowledge comes from, how we learn, how we think about life—like all things Gemini. What [00:04:00] happens with Uranus moving into Gemini reflects a time period where there's a very potent evolutionary process where we are freeing ourselves from the conditioning of our thinking at that level of consciousness that we're coming from.

So we'll speak a lot about this just to introduce the idea, since Gemini corresponds to, in general, how we learn, how we communicate, what we know, and in general with Gemini, there's an ongoing process of exchange of information. So I'm gonna say something, you're gonna hear what I'm saying, and these words that you're audibly hearing—so it's a sensual experience—is going to be added to an existing framework of existing ideas. That's like how Gemini works. So it's like constantly expanding upon our intellectual framework of reality. Since Uranus is dealing with objective reality, [00:05:00] you have the innate tension with Uranus and Gemini that says the ways in which we've mapped out and explained logically, empirically how life works—which is what we're always doing with Gemini—is going to be limited relative to what it is.

So we're never going to be able to empirically explain and linearly clarify the totality of life and the full intelligence scope of it because—and this is the key—our intelligence is not yet evolved to the point where we can even think to ask the right kinds of questions to learn the things that would actually point to the larger mechanistic design of creation. So that's what's happening with Uranus entering into Gemini. It's the liberation, it's the elevation of our mind, our thinking, our capacity to learn about this world.

Amanda: Is the Universe Benevolent, Neutral, or Other?

Amanda: I have to ask this question. So you said that Uranus is the intelligent design of the universe, that's what Uranus contains within itself? [00:06:00] Ari: Yeah.

Amanda: Do you have a sense for whether that intelligent design of the universe is inherently neutral, benevolent, or something else?

Ari: Hmm. So I'll offer this framework. Think of God or like reality with a capital R, Truth. Like “what is” is Neptune, right? So it's unformed, it's unconditioned, it's not created. Think of Uranus as the mind of God, the projected intelligence from the source.

So when we study Uranus, we are looking at the design pattern itself, which doesn't exist in time. So we're not looking at like God set in motion these Newtonian principles; it's something that is beyond time. Whereas time itself is secondary to the original creative impulse itself. We're looking at just the mechanistic design, and that intelligence permeates everything. I mean, there's nothing that is not a part of that intelligence [00:07:00] because God's mind, so to speak, is not split, is not divided, right?

So there's a singular intelligence and that's again, why when we have astrology, we're like observing, “Oh, this is how it seems to work. Cool.” But like, we don't know how; we're just watching, we're observing. We watch the fractal patterns, literally the geometry patterns that manifest in nature, the geometry patterns that manifest in the cosmos, in our own body.

We watch the archetypal rhythms that manifest on every inner/outer, small/enlarged size scale. So this is a singular intelligence that is operative, period. We have—and I remember, you know, we spoke about this in our last, and for anyone that wants to catch up, there's a really good more introductory Uranus and Gemini talk that we recorded here—[00:08:00] you have people who have reached a high level of inner knowledge and they're able to sort of step far back enough to observe the larger cycles of Yugas, like these thousands of years cycles, within which there are many other cycles, which themselves are part of these much larger, you know, hundreds of thousands year cycles.

Right? It's beyond me. It's so beyond all of us. And I think as a human species, our understanding of this intelligent mechanism is very, very narrow. We're just like in the beginning of a remembering phase. But I would like to say that the thoughts of God are harmonious. There's no dissonance in reality.

Now, the idea of like there being dissonance to me reflects more of the principle of free will and this element that we have to believe in something untrue and to create our own nightmare relative to that belief, but it only obscures or fights against the natural rhythm that is. There's no opposite to that.

Amanda: Brilliant. Alright, so basically what you said is that Uranus moving into Gemini is going to be the expansion of our ability [00:09:00] to take in new information because the frame itself is actually expanding. Our internal mental frame is expanding in order to bring in new information and to assimilate new ideas and information.

Ari: Yeah, and I would use the word accelerating because what accelerate really highlights relative to Uranus is things move faster. The process itself seems to speed, which is exactly what we know happens with technology, with Uranus stuff in general, right? It's like we can't really predict, but it's going so quickly. And then suddenly in the past few years with AI relative to Uranus and Gemini, really, we all have this capacity suddenly to code a website which would've taken months in like a day.

So that's an acceleration process, which itself reflects the whole realm of knowledge and information, kind of what's accessible, what knowledge we can [00:10:00] extract from the ether, so to speak. It really depends upon the state of our mind, and that's what's beginning to change.

Amanda: [Ad1]

Well, hello my friends, because Uranus moving into Gemini is such a big deal, we decided to make a free guide for you that maps Uranus and Gemini through all of the 12 signs so you can read it for your sun and for your rising. And what it's gonna do is give you some personalized insights into how Uranus moving into Gemini is going to impact, or what area of life it's going to impact for you. It is also going to help you look back at Uranus in Taurus and how that energy has been reshaping different aspects of your life as well. If you would like to download your free copy, you can go to astrologyhub.com/uranusgemini. We're also going to drop that link into the show notes and now back to the episode.

Uranus in Gemini and Sound

Amanda: Okay. So [00:11:00] what does all of this have to do with sound? Why are we bringing in sound and what's the relevance?

Ari: Excellent. Okay. So another correlation with Uranus, which connects to what we've spoken about so far, is what we can call everything that's subliminal and unconscious. Meaning we have our sort of conscious lived experience. Right now, I know I'm talking to you and I'm relatively aware of what's in my room and what's in the environment. What I'm not consciously processing with my linear mind are all the subtleties, right? Like the feel of temperature in the back of my head, right? Maybe now I'm giving direct attention to it; prior to thinking about it, I didn't notice that your flowers had two different shades. Right.

So there's a whole lot of information in our environment that we're receptive to, but on a subliminal level. I mean, we're taking it in, but we're not conscious of it in the realm of [00:12:00] Uranus. And let's differentiate because this is a very helpful starting point: Gemini/Mercury corresponds to linear and local information and short-term memory. So all of the data and the information that we're consciously aware of. And that's why Mercury/Gemini stuff is very, very limited in the sense that we're never going to remember every single detail of like what our life was like yesterday.

But from a Uranian perspective, we're sort of logging it in our subconscious. And everything that we as a soul have ever experienced—borrowing the Jungian term, the individuated unconscious, which Jeffrey Wolf Green, my teacher, used to describe this Uranian dimension—that in the individuated unconscious, we have the memory of everything the soul has ever experienced.

This lifetime, past lives, astral plane, everything. We don't consciously remember it, but this is a big part of why on a Uranus level, [00:13:00] when you meet someone you know, it seems like you're meeting someone now in a new body, a new form, a new experience. We will often have these feelings or these impressions that don't make any sense. It's because from a Uranian level, we have these subliminal memories that are operating, but we're not conscious of them, of the past. And much of what we perceive in this lifetime is conditioned by these unconscious memories that are operating underneath the surface.

So, and we can say the soul has this forgetting process. Like, however this thing is designed, it's just utterly fascinating. As we come back, most of us don't remember where we came from. So the Uranian memories are suppressed, but we'll still have the imprinting of them affecting our conscious awareness.

Now, here's how this ultimately relates to sound. The way that Gemini operates is it's operating through the senses. It [00:14:00] takes what we're kind of gathering from our sensual reality—what we're seeing, what we're hearing, what we're tasting, what we're smelling, which is very Venusian, very visceral—and it's giving it a name. It's identifying it.

So I remember once I was sleeping, I had this amazing moment of realizing I could do something. I was at a festival many years ago. I was sleeping in my tent and there was a lot of noise going on and I was like too aware of the noise. It was loud, but also there are moments where like I can hear people talking and I thought about it. I'm like, “Well, I know cats and dogs can sleep really well when there's like a lot of noise going on in their environment.” And I'm like, “Oh, well, they're not really fixing their mind on it. They're just letting it be diffusive.”

So I just said, “I am open to trying that.” And I tried it and I was able to fall asleep. It was a really great learning experience. ‘Cause what's happening with Gemini in general is [00:15:00] sound becomes formation. And so it's very uncommon to hear a bunch of people talking to you and to just have a neutral experience of hearing noises, because we've learned how to identify these particular phrases, these sound vibrations, these particular ways of shaping our mouth and our tongue and our teeth to express particular sound waves that'll actually elicit memory of existing sound waves that we've already categorized in our brain.

And this is why when we go to a different country or people that even talk differently, there's a Gemini insecurity that can arise because we may not know how to respond to the social cues and the actual information, or how to communicate what we need to know. We are designed sort of biologically as a survival mechanism relative to Gemini to want to be able to [00:16:00] participate and engage in social reality.

That Gemini mechanism is incredibly acute. I mean, like, Gemini operates in such a refined way. In the ways that we've all learned since we are children to like be aware of our environment, how to interact with it, how to speak to it, you know, it's like, it's so refined. Where Uranus comes in, since Uranus deals with the entire realm of what is not being consciously processed, we're going to not just have the conversation over there that we're not paying attention to 'cause we're not tuned into it, but it's there. Right? Or like the dreams that we had that we don't remember, but we feel the resonance of the dreams. Right?

We're also gonna have the low frequency and high frequency sound vibrations coming from the data centers for AI, from the Bitcoin mining centers, from our phones, from the Bluetooth, from the Wi-Fi, [00:17:00] from the 5G, from the cell towers everywhere. All around us are sound frequencies, much of which are not audible to the human ear, but they're here and we are not exempt from their effects even though we're not conscious of them. That's like one of the deeper dimensions of Uranus and Gemini, and we can see how just bringing its trine to Pluto in Aquarius.

I honestly think humanity is at the close to the apex of this way of being, because we're bombarding our whole system with so much data, so much information, we don't even know the effects. And I can speak health-wise, you know, what we know, what we don't know, but just nervous system stimulation. We're [00:18:00] just being bombarded by so much. This is one correlation with Uranus and Gemini: subliminal low-frequency sound vibrations that we're not audibly detecting.

Amanda: Wow. I mean, I actually just read something recently about how sound can be used like as a torture device. I mean, if like the “beep beep,” you know, that something just aggravating. And as you were speaking, I like started to hear the hum of the lights in my room, in this room that I'm in right now. And I started to hear things that I normally just like block out. And if you really think about it, there's sounds like that happening all the time.

Ari: All the time.

[Ad2]

Amanda: Are you saying that Uranus moving into Gemini is going to accelerate that even more? And if so, what can we do [00:19:00] about that? Because, and what is the higher expression of that? Like if there's a lower expression that could drive us all crazy, or a higher expression of that Uranus and Gemini signature around sound, what would that be?

Ari: Great. So one, it is driving us all crazy already.

Amanda: Yeah.

Ari: And that's why I think we're at an apex, because we don't really know what we've created.

Amanda: Hmm.

Ari: And mind you, like, I love using my AI tool, whatever, like the rest of us, and I love using my phone, et cetera. You know, I bought the Bitcoin like everyone else is, like I'm supposed to and whatever. Like, we participate in this world, but we don't realize how dysfunctional we become and how stressful it is. So, I mean, to address this question, I'll just also add to it: Gemini corresponds to our direct local attention. Right? So it's sort of normalized to always be in a state of thought. [00:20:00]

Amanda: Hmm.

Ari: And this is a very unique expression of being a human that is very much not normal to the majority of human existence. The levels of conscious states of awareness that we usually can access, that most human beings have been able to access throughout most of history, where we can actually shift into different frequencies—what's the word? Brainwaves, whatever, you know, Alpha, all those things—we experience a very narrow range right now because our waking state tends to be highly bombarded by a very small range, so we don't even feel the possibility.

So, to address this question, I just wanna say like, imagine going on a walk. We can be going on a walk without our phone and aware of the environment. It's like we're just watching. We're paying attention to the birds, the sounds, the car that passes by. And what we're seeing too, there's such a [00:21:00] more Gemini nuanced awareness of our environment when we're like just here. Right? Contrast that with, you know, going on a walk, listening to a podcast or just scrolling on your phone, right?

It's a vast difference to such a significant degree. We're actually cut off from the environment. We're not actually receptive and taking in information from the natural world, but we're taking in a lot of information from the subliminal sound waves that are all around us, and we're constantly in this sort of nervous system state of stress and thought.

Humanity is sort of at a peak where we've never really been here before. And so we don't know how much it's affected us. We don't know how much the stimulation has affected our state of mind and our actual, our physical health.

So I think as we become more objectively aware—Uranus really—Uranus in Gemini, the gift of it here is objective knowledge. We can actually think clearly, ask the right question. This [00:22:00] is sort of like the double-edged sword of this situation here, because there's a lot more data input. And so we can be frenetic, highly frenetic, highly stressed, highly kind of lost in this mental space. But at the same time, there's enough information and knowledge and sort of field data that all we really need to do is think and we can learn what we need to learn.

So we can ask the question, “What are the effects?” There's this really awesome YouTuber, Ben Jordan, I've been appreciating and he has this one really cool video where he actually measures the frequency of these data centers throughout the United States. And then has conversations with people relative to what their health is like and, you know, how it affects them. And it's pretty… pretty crazy, the way in which low-frequency sound vibrations are affecting people. And he's conducted some actual scientific experiments to get data, doing blind double studies with these low-frequency [00:23:00] infra-whatever, low-frequency sound, to actually begin to get some scientific information about it.

So that's like the benefit of this because we can actually learn objectively what we're doing. And it really just takes—this is the thing about humans—it just takes asking the right question and being like, “Okay, how can I do this differently?” or “What is another way of thinking about this?”

The paradigm that we're living in is a consumer paradigm that is also… we as humans have entitled ourselves to do whatever's necessary for the furthering of our own personal improvement or technological developments and gains. So it's a rape culture in that sense. We take what we want from the earth, we don't care. That's how we've been as humans, truly. So there's been a sort of Uranian—Uranus is arrogance. You know, that's one of the shadows of Uranus, sort of the, “I'm so smart, look what I can do.” As humans, we've loved [00:24:00] what we can do technologically, but to such a degree of degradation of the earth and of ourselves and of communities.

So when we start to come to terms with that, it just takes enough people to say, “Okay, what is it like to build a healthy civilization that actually harmonizes with natural law? That harmonizes with those who need the most care, that harmonizes with nature, that gives back to the water, doesn't take the water?” And I think probably over the next 10 years or so, that's my intuition, as everything's collapsing—which is my intuition, it's clear—this is an inevitability. So I think that's a part of what's gonna happen with Uranus and Gemini, you know? So that was the question, like what can we do about it? And I'm sorry, because I forgot the second part. [00:25:00]

Amanda: It's okay. I'll ask it again, but before I do, I just wanted to bring in this thing that I recently learned about birds and how birds only sing when it is safe to do so.

Ari: Oh my God. Wow.

Amanda: And so us listening to birds singing signals to our own bodies that it is safe. And so then our nervous system can relax and we can be in our environment in a safe way. And so when I'm listening to you, I'm like, “Well, harmonizing with nature and with the sounds around us will also help solve some of the health issues and the things that we're all experiencing just by virtue of the fact that we're designed to go together, you know?”

So sometimes I just sit and listen to the birds outside my window 'cause I'm like, “Oh, awesome. They're signaling to me that it's safe to begin the day, that it's all clear. We're good.” And when I don't do that, when I don't actually tune in or clue into them, I'm missing [00:26:00] that cue completely. And I'm tuning into these sounds coming from my phone or my computer or whatever that might be signaling something completely different from that.

The other thing you said about the going for a walk—so I aim to get many steps a day. I like the quantification of it because it actually forces me outside. And me being outside is one of the best things I can do for my health, is what I've realized. But the difference between when I go with my phone and when I leave my phone at home is vast. The amount of, like you were saying, the amount of sensory input, the smells—I notice the way the clouds are moving, the air, everything. I notice so much more when I'm not listening to a podcast or, you know, which sometimes I do because I wanna do that too.

But it's just amazing. And if you just think about the amount, the percentage of time we're spending in front of [00:27:00] these screens now versus the percentage of time we spent even just 10 years ago or 20 years ago or…

Ari: It's happened so quickly.

Amanda: It's happened so quickly, and it's just like, “Oh, wow.” Like no wonder we're all so stressed out and like chronically stressed and chronically sick and chronically everything. I mean, there's a lot of things happening, but that definitely is one of them, right? Yeah. Okay. So…

What is the Higher Expression of Uranus in Gemini?

Amanda: Yeah, you started answering it. I said, “What is the higher expression of Uranus and Gemini?” If we could craft our engagement with Uranus and Gemini, what aspect of it would we be focusing on?

Ari: Yeah. So I love that question. Let me use AI as an example because this is something that we're beginning to tap into that I think reflects sort of the nature of the mind. We can ask any question to these AI systems and [00:28:00] begin to craft a pathway of learning that, to a significant degree, is only limited by the question.

You know, like building an Excel spreadsheet to track budget stuff. And I wanted to—like, I had all these parameters—and I just had to… really, the hard work was just framing the questions correctly, you know? And it's just really amazing. So that itself is an acceleration process, right? But what does this reflect? If you take AI, life itself operates in the same way. Our thoughts are vibrations, and we all know—I mean, for anyone that works with the Tarot or I Ching or any kind of mantic art—the vibration of our intention and our thought is what will elicit a very direct response.

Now, like things like the I Ching [00:29:00] which I work with, it's fascinating 'cause I feel that the I Ching is sort of… it comes from that Uranian intelligence which is not local, has no words, and it's brilliantly expressing through a mathematical framework that allows me to have something solid or intangible to work with. You know, 64 hexagrams with six possible changing lines, and its answer will be in direct, perfectly relevant resonance. All I have to do is think it.

I mean, I just like want everyone to appreciate that because most of us listening maybe have some… probably everyone listening for watching astrology has some existing appreciation for the reality of such things, right? Like, if you ever once got a reading or ever once pulled a card, you know. But to really just appreciate that that's how it's designed. You know what I'm saying? It's not your coins that are doing it, it's not the deck that's doing it, it's built into the [00:30:00] intelligence.

And what's amazing about these systems is it takes that universal intelligence, but it gives it a very focused expression form. You take all of these forms away and you just have like the design patterns themselves of life, and you ask a question, you set an intention. This is actually to me, kind of like the most beautiful way in which Uranus and Neptune kind of come together. It's sort of one way of talking about prayer, actually. Working with the Oracle is not so different than working with prayer because if we can think of prayer as a sincere question or orientation or a statement or vibrational expression or putting it out there, and the universe is harmonious, as you said, and so we're always interacting.

And I want—this is what I wanna say to this—I love that you used the word harmonious here because harmony, by the way, is an air sign thing in general, because all air [00:31:00] signs in some way require or imply harmony. You know, obviously Libra, you know, but even like social communication, Gemini, we need to be able to harmonize that we're talking about the same thing, right?

But on a Uranian level, we're looking a lot more broadly that we harmonize with the design patterns of life itself. And so to that insight you shared around like the bird singing and to actually come into resonance like that implies safety. Our body and our nervous system and our minds can kind of resonate and vibe with that safety. It's like a vibrational reality that we can connect to.

And so we are in a harmonious relationship and conversation with the cosmos itself. And it's so deeply interactive, but it requires authentic relationship. And I think as we start to understand that, that's where I think as a human species with the Uranus in Gemini, more people—not in some kind of [00:32:00] crazy metaphysical way—more people will be getting sound healing.

Amanda: Hmm.

Ari: People will be getting telekinesis, or that thing where you can like bend spoons—maybe that's telekinesis—remote viewing. These are all Uranian things and it's just really getting the mind clear enough to recognize how it works objectively.

Can We Connect With Higher Frequencies as Well?

[Ad3]

Amanda: Okay. So my guy, my love, was told by the dentist that he needed a root canal. And so he asked the question, “Is there a better way to do this than the way we've been doing it?” And I'm not saying he asked the dentist; that was his question he was holding, and he found someone on Oahu who was doing root canals via sound.

Ari: Wow.

Amanda: And so he went over there, had it done, totally worked. And it [00:33:00] was like completely non-invasive. Like he didn't have to do the whole big… he literally flew over there, had it done, came back, it was done. It was like, “Whoa, that's fascinating.”

So what I'm hearing from you is that the expanded capacity for our understanding of sound, for example, is going to open up pathways that we didn't know were there before around things like healing, around… probably other things I can't even think of right now. But I was also wondering, Ari: because not only are there these kind of low vibrational sounds around us, but there's probably also some really high frequencies around us that we can't sense right now. Do you see that our capacity to recognize and tune into those will also expand?

Ari: Yeah. And I think that's where it can be really hard. I think more people will feel more and more sensitive around these sounds and these frequencies. But then it's also like this on the flip side: so a lot of people—and I, you know, [00:34:00] it's weird, it's not an abnormality—it's people that are already very sensitive and harmoniously attuned will get headaches and nausea. I think they'll be more affected by these things than not, right? I know someone, I once got a ride with someone and she needed my phone to be off.

Amanda: Yeah.

Ari: And I didn't turn it off, I just put it in [airplane mode]. And she's like, “Is your phone on? I can really feel it.” I'm like, “Oh yeah, I gotta really turn it off.” And she felt much better with it off.

But it means we can also begin to tune into the subtlety. So there's a very fast—and I'm fascinated by this, this is like part of the draw—there is an interesting bridge between thought and sound where think of sound again as a vehicle. Just like words are a vehicle, right? So if I'm… I'm just using words to convey ideas, you can hear them, but those words are only being conveyed because we need a vehicle to operate with our more gross level of consciousness.

So I'm using words that the ears can audibly hear in the typical range of sound that we're [00:35:00] used to, you know, as humans. Sound can actually carry a more subtle thought vibration. And this is where I'm just deeply drawn to the expansion of sound healing—not like as a sound healing bath or metallic [instruments]. Those are really cool. But it's like real, like what you just described—the capacity that we have with instruments, but also with our own thinking.

‘Cause one thing that happens with sound, like we know we pluck a guitar string, other strings will resonate, right? So all of ourselves, all of life will come into resonance with a vibration. So it's possible to emit sounds with our mouth that are sort of grounded in certain vibrations and for those sounds to be a vehicle for those vibrations. And I don't think the vibrations themselves necessarily require sound, because we can think and emit these vibrations, but the sound becomes a vehicle for them [00:36:00] and vehicles are useful for thus being received.

So like for the human brain, working with sound is a very powerful way that we can begin to transfer vibration in very intentional and conscious ways. And I think a part of Uranus in Gemini is just like getting real about like, “Oh, this works.”

I'll share this story. So when I was in my early twenties, just beginning this wide world of like spirituality and like, “Wow, what is all this about?” I was already interested in astrology and studying it a little bit. I was traveling in the north of Israel, which is like this very kabbalistic city, and [00:37:00] I slept on the roof, on the rooftop of the city. So like I was underneath all the stars. It was like a very magical, mystical moment, right?

I met a man that next day, this rabbi who had a limp, and he invited me over to his house for a Rosh Hashanah lunch, and I couldn't stop feeling like there was something that I wanted to do for him. And I never at that point had practiced Reiki. I took a little Tai Chi class at some point prior, so I was aware of Qi and energy. But I just felt like there was something that wanted to come through.

So I just asked him if I can do some healing work—no training. All I did was just pay attention to what I was Gemini-sensing with my hands, meaning paying attention to how it felt and how I felt about it. Like I wasn't thinking too much, I was just paying attention to the feeling and where my hands were meant to go and just allowing. But [00:38:00] my mind was clear; it was peaceful, right?

Anyway, he was all healed and he was like, “How did you do that?” I'm like, “I just felt like it was meant to happen,” and I had no clue. I remember walking through the streets of the old city thinking like, “What? Like if that worked, what is reality? Like how, why did that work?” You know? Like I wanted to understand like, “What is it that makes that work?”

And so then later that year I learned Reiki and just began walking up to people and like, anything was healed. Like if a person had a sore throat: healed. Like a person sprained their wrist: healed. Like every… I healed like 10 in one day at this like beach festival. Everyone was healed and I was blown away by it.

Now I ended up getting really sick and then that ability was lost to me completely. Every time I would do it, I would get tired and fatigued and sick. [00:39:00]

Amanda: Whoa.

Ari: And this is like, you know, I'm 20 years old, completely gone. And so for many, many years, well into my thirties even, I just kind of dropped it, got into astrology, whatever. Although at some point in my thirties I began—maybe even late twenties—I began kind of getting curious again about this healing. But I felt that it was important for me not to overdo it, 'cause you know, my ego… I mean, I think I was too fascinated by it, right? And my vehicle and my ego development wasn't appropriately in the right place, I would say.

So I began exploring intuitively working with sound in the session, and it's something that I do sometimes, even today. I began doing it when I'm with someone, and I'm just sharing this to highlight something that I don't fully understand, but I think is a part of what's emerging here. [00:40:00] And I think this is a part of what Uranus in Gemini can really bring forward.

Sometimes I would do some sound work of just toning and letting myself see and visualize whatever comes up, whatever's there, and doesn't matter whether I'm making it up or not. But letting the sound be a focusing agent for the mind, again, where I think sound is a vehicle for vibration, but it's not the source of vibration. And then just oftentimes that has brought actual healing. Other times it's just sort of allowed me to come into a place of resonance with their soul to have more mental clarity.

And there's this one experience where I'm with a man and he had some sort of deep issue with his knee or something. He was in a lot of pain and I tried it and he was completely healed. And that was the first time in 15 years since doing that healing with that man where I had that experience. But much more mature, you know, I was in my thirties at that point and it made me incredibly curious, like, what is it about sound and what I was doing with my mouth? Because I'm not consciously channeling anything. I'm not aware of any angels or anything, right? [00:41:00] It's just presence and focused attention and allowing my mind to just go where it goes, but letting it become sort of like, “Where does the energy wanna move?”

So what's emerging and this great curiosity for me is: how can sound be used? But this is where I'm drawn: not by an instrument, but by our own voice, our own body.

Amanda: Yes.

Ari: How can we use sound for healing? And I think there are those that know and understand this and have mastered this far beyond anything that I understand. But I think this is a part of Uranus in Gemini.

Amanda: Amazing. I love the stories and it made me think—well first of all, I was thinking of the Vagus nerve and I was wondering if there's something with the stimulation of the Vagus nerve because one of the ways to regulate the nervous system is to hum. Right? If you hum, it's actually stimulating the Vagus nerve. That's why singing and these things, they feel good, and you [00:42:00] only do them when you feel good. Like if you notice, you don't walk around humming when you're feeling depressed, usually. You're doing it because you feel good.

The other thing is when I was in labor with my daughter Sophia, I just spontaneously, naturally started toning. I learned later it's called toning. I was just… to me it was just I was making a sound with my voice, but when I would hit this certain sound at a certain octave—and it was “Ah”—but when I hit “Ah” at a certain octave, I felt no pain, literally like gone. And so this is just to reiterate what you're saying. [00:43:00]

Ari: That's it. Yeah.

Amanda: We have it like, we have it in our… I've never been able to recreate that sound. I could, I've tried, but I can't find it, you know?

Ari: Oh, wow.

Amanda: But what if I could, and what if you could consciously use that sound and what if there's other people out here who've had these… I'm sure there are people who've had these kinds of experiences.

So I love what you're saying, and this is really exciting. You know, I think between the combination of being conscious as much as possible about what environments we're putting ourselves in and putting ourselves in as natural as possible environments—which is just… some of it's completely out of our control at this point. I mean, there are these low frequency sounds all around the earth, we're surrounded by that, right?

But then doing what we can to, you know, consciously leaving the phone at home, you know, consciously turning off the Wi-Fi at night, turning down as much of the sounds around us as we can, but then also playing around with some of these things you're talking about. I think it's really exciting. I hadn't thought about it the way that you did, so I just… yes. I think this is fascinating and there's a lot more to explore and I love that you're opening up the conversation.

Ari: Yeah. It's such [00:44:00] a fascinating… I love what you said around the humming and the toning. You don't walk around the street humming when you're feeling like crap. And that comes back again to… it's all about vibration and resonance. And when I do that toning work, it's very low—like low and it's relaxing. And if you think about how we're often just in our head [00:45:00] thinking a lot of thoughts… I will sometimes walk my dog and I'll take my phone with me 'cause I have things to think about and work to do. It's like…

Amanda: Oh my gosh, did I take notes? Yes.

Ari: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just do it all the time. But it's like there's a certain vibration to it, right? And how is that vibrational reality registering in the body, in the field? And so it starts on the inside, it starts with our state of mind, and then the sound is able to give it a direction. It's able to anchor it, kind of carries it, it makes it more real and manifest.

I just love that idea that our state of mind is the starting point and we're able to kind of enter into a sound from that place. And if I just think about all the spectrum of human consciousness—and again, in this day and age, how we're not really accessing many different states—when we're living in a more survival place or it's closer to nature, we are more aware and more sensitive and more psychic in many, many ways. And there are times in human history where we were just more aware of like the Deva realm, the more subtle. And we can communicate with more subtle vibrations that exist here.

I think there's a beginning of a movement right now of learning to really appreciate our capacity with agency to consciously explore and choose different mindset states, different vibrational states. And again, working with sound as a vehicle for that.

Ari's Inner Circle Mastery Class – Remembering the Future

Amanda: So good. Okay. Love the way you are framing Uranus. Love the way you're thinking about Uranus and Gemini. I know your mastery class for the Inner Circle is also gonna be on Uranus, so can you tell us more?

Ari: Yeah, I'm really excited about this mastery class. So, okay, [00:47:00] it's about Uranus transits. I'm calling it “Remembering the Future” because Uranus transits—they're kind of in their own category. Even like Mars transits; I often find that Mars transits will feel and experience them usually before the exact aspect. Uranus is different. Like, Uranus is often a moment in time.

And there are certain—again, since we're kind of coming through this human experience in time and space—but it's almost like the stage for the soul's journey, the structured reality that it's created for each lifetime is a part of an intentional stage for our own evolution. And each soul comes here with the intention to do certain work. And that often means there are certain experiences that are planted into the program. Many of these things are dynamics that we'll simply need to face, and so they're not literal. [00:48:00] Others are actual literal “this is gonna happen.”

And I have many stories, personal and from others, that I will be collecting and putting together for this talk highlighting and demonstrating natal chart transits that involve the planet Uranus. Often Uranus will correspond to almost fated moments that are kind of built into the blossoming of the soul individuality that represents key evolutionary junctures. And it might—and often does—feel non-sequitur, like “that just happened.” And it's like the typical shock and surprise of Uranus, but it's more so it's the program itself playing itself out.

And I won't tell the story now, but we'll tell the story of a dream I had in 2007 about something that would happen when Uranus would square my Mercury, which would be, I think in 2011. And on that day that Uranus squared my Mercury, that thing happened. And it just brings up to question: “What is [00:49:00] going on here? What is this life that we're living?” So it's a fascinating topic that I'm just excited to really give focused attention towards.

Amanda: I love… yes. “What is going on here?” I ask that question all the time. It's like, “Whoa, what is actually going on here?”

But Rick Levine actually tells a great Uranus story. I can't remember exactly what the Uranus transit was for him, but he was like rollerblading or something, and he fell and broke a wrist or an ankle or something and was like bedridden for a long period of time. And I believe that's when he started practicing astrology again. But it was like it coincided with this move. I don't know, there's a bunch of details of the story that I'm forgetting. What I do remember is that it was a Uranus transit—a very surprising accident that then put him on the path that we all get to benefit from decades later. And like what you're saying, it was like it was part of the script. It was part of what he came here to experience. It needed to [00:50:00] happen. It was a lightning strike moment that changed everything.

Ari: Yeah.

Wrapping Up Uranus in Taurus

Amanda: Yeah. Uh, okay. Well, Ari, that is exciting. Aren't you guys excited? That's coming in the Inner Circle? So he's gonna be our guide for the Taurus Lunation, correct? That starts on May 11th, so we have that to look forward to.

And is there anything else you wanna say to us as we're closing up? Anything to say about the end of Uranus in Taurus? Like, is there anything that we're threading from Uranus in Taurus into Uranus in Gemini?

Ari: I think if anything, it's: stay in your body. The temptation of Uranus in Gemini is to become very disembodied. Again, it's very external; it's in thought. And especially if thought is object-oriented, like phones and data and whatever, we can just be very “here” [points to head]. I know for myself—I think as a society in general—the greater work with Uranus is recognizing the body as an intelligent system, that we are plugged [00:51:00] into the cosmos.

The struggle with Uranus in Taurus can be that dissociation from the earth, from the body, and a lot of fear—a lot of feeling like unstable and ungrounded and thus not safe. We're not gonna sing when we feel unsafe. I would really love to invite for all of us… offer this as an orientation and a blessing and a prayer. As we complete this time of Uranus in Taurus and move into Uranus in Gemini: how can we actually make it a practice to stay even more grounded and to focus on our vibration? What are the thoughts we're thinking right now? Is it lifting us and kind of tensing, or is it helping us get relaxed?

What are the problems in our life and where can we create more of a ground from which we can see it and think about it differently? I think it also says this is a great time, especially just before we get into [00:52:00] this Uranus square to the nodes and the exact Uranus trine to Pluto in air signs. Like, this is a great time before all that stimulation to really do the Uranus and Taurus thing and like, find even more intelligent ways to relax and really find out how we can relax and get more rest—which is such a prayer. We were talking earlier; it's so important right now.

And underappreciated ways that we can create ground and stability so that we can have an inner repose and peace as we enter into this next phase of the year, which absolutely is gonna be incredibly stimulating. You know, Amanda, there's one thing that we didn't talk about with all this—very briefly say—'cause this is a part of the sound dynamic. It's going to become increasingly difficult with Uranus in Gemini to even know what's true. It's like, “Is Jim Carrey alive?” It's… [00:53:00] I don't think we'll ever know unless we are orienting on a vibrational level, and we can perceive there, then we'll know. I have my feelings.

And a thousand other examples. And so the trap of that with Uranus and Gemini are people talking on social media sharing their opinions, endless trails of [information], and it's a way of becoming distracted and almost forgetting why we're here. And so I think just the agency over our own thought—what is it we're really here to do—is really becoming incredibly important right now.

Amanda: Mm. Ari, we just had these storms in Hawaii.

Ari: That's right.

Amanda: And I saw these social media posts that made it look like entire houses—like whole entire neighborhoods—like floating on water. And yes, there was flooding here. Absolutely, yes. There was some tragic flooding here. Absolutely. But what I saw on social media, obviously AI augmented, was not real. [00:54:00] And I went, “Wait, I live here so I know what was happening.” But if you didn't live here, how would you know? You would look at that and go, “Oh my God, Hawaii is entirely underwater.”

Or like, there was this picture of our Target, because there was flooding at our Target.

Ari: I saw that picture.

Amanda: Okay. There was flooding at our Target, but I saw the real picture of the flooding and then I saw the fake picture of our flooding. And the fake one—I mean, if you look closely, you can tell that the lights are on. How did the person even get that angle? ‘Cause the water's like up here. You know, it's not real. And I even got caught in it. I like went, “Oh my God, I know our Target flooded.” And I saw this picture and I sent it to my family and my 17-year-old daughter was like, “Mommy, that is not real.”

And I was like, “Oh.” And then I went back and looked at it. She's like, “That's not even our Target.” Like, we [00:55:00] have to be so careful. And again, like, it's literally… God, talk about Gemini: question everything. You know, question everything you're seeing because if you're not actually there, it's impossible to know what is sensationalized, what is meant to get you all emotional and scared and freaked out, you know? And it's just too easy to do with AI now.

Ari: It becomes a rabbit hole and it's endless distraction. So I mean, since we're there, I'll just say this too: I've been watching this amazing pop dancer where her dancing looks robotic and it's like really cool. It's like really skilled, like individual movements, isolation movements.

On my Facebook scroll, she just shows up, and for about a month or so I'd see her and I'm like, “That's amazing. Just such good dancing and it's really enjoyable to watch.” Her name is Baby Slo, and she's… and I'm like… and so then it took me a month until the thought arose like, [00:56:00] “Uh oh, wait a minute, is she real?” And the fact that it took me a month to even question that. And so then here's the crazy part: I still don't know.

Amanda: Oh…

Ari: Because I researched it and I even got two different search answers. One is it's AI, one is it's real, but it's used as AI to enhance it.

Amanda: Oh…

Ari: And how do I know?

Amanda: No, you don't know. You don't know her. You've never met her. She… like, yeah. I mean, sometimes part of me is like, it's easier for me to trust people that I was following before AI, because I know they're real, because I know you… and maybe, I mean we just…

Ari: Clones.

Amanda: I know. We just got this technology, but how long has this technology been around? We usually are the last ones to get it. So I'm sure it's been around for a long time, duping us and we had no idea that was even possible, so we would never even think to question it.

Ari: Well, this is why—and this really motivates me and I wanna offer this to all of us—I [00:57:00] think this is a great motivation to evolve our human capacities for thought and information. ‘Cause we have it built-in within us to access subtle planes of information.

Many of us will access it sort of spontaneously when we're in a relaxed state, meditation, or in a dream, right? Um, but there are so many people right now—I mean, it's common right now and there are like many YouTubers that like do remote viewing. It's like, it's common. And I think we're at a point where it's hard to verify information on the internet. It might take a lot of work. But there are ways to verify information through kind of our own direct ability capacity to just look straight directly at things as they are.

But I think that's like a personal yogic practice for each one of us to explore. But—and I'm not there—but I think this is a part of where I think humanity's being impelled to develop, to claim our own agency and that we have that capacity, and to not be giving our power away to this information that we're getting. ‘Cause at this point we can't really trust it. [00:58:00]

Amanda: It's so funny, Ari. My daughter, who was like, “Mommy, that's not real,” she like, kind of felt bad for me 'cause I had like posted it in our family group. She's like, “Oh no.” And she goes, “I feel like your generation is gonna get duped a lot.” And she goes, “I feel like I have a built-in detector. It's like easy for me to tell.” And I was like, “Well that's great. That's great news that you do.”

And I hear what you're saying and you're probably right on some level, but I also think we are… we're all learning, you know? We didn't grow up in a world where that was even possible, let alone happening like a hundred times a day, you know? So, you know, it was cute though. She was like, “Oh, I kind of feel bad for you.” And I'm… I'm kind of worried about… basically she was saying, “I'm worried about you and the older generation.” And I'm… [00:59:00]

Ari: I think the younger generation will get duped too. It's… the advantage, although to her point, because there's more familiarity with it, I think they've developed—maybe not so much the perceptual capacities, but the intellectual capacities to ask the right questions. Right. And I think that's exactly where we need to be going.

Amanda: Amazing. Okay, well I could talk to you forever, obviously, and I'm just so grateful for you to be here right now, to be in the Inner Circle with us coming up soon. Again, just to be sharing your wisdom with this platform and this community. It's so brilliant. I love talking to you and thanks to all of you for your curiosity, for your openness, for your comments, for your subscribes, for your shares.

All those things enable us to continue having these conversations here, which I really hope you're finding helpful as we navigate these hugely shifting times, hugely. So, thank you for being here, Ari. Thank you for being here, everyone out there, and I just look forward to the next time we get to connect. Thank you for being a part of [01:00:00] our community, and thank you for making astrology a part of your life. We'll see you again very soon.
