An update for 7th July 2025, by Patricia Godden
On 7th July, Uranus moves from Taurus into Gemini. There is a change in energy away from urges to shake up the status quo towards finding stimulation and excitement in a diversity of original concepts and ideas. Apart from a few months from late autumn 2025 until spring 2026 when Uranus returns to Taurus, the planet will remain in Gemini until 2033.
Not only will there be a plethora of new ideas but there is also the potential for the emergence of new ways of communicating with each other. There could be new types of communication networks and social media. This could support the current expansion of artificial intelligence. Facts and information are now so readily available.
At a deeper level, Uranus in Gemini could be associated with finding truth in different facets of life. There may be more acceptance that different people may perceive truth in different ways. What is right for one person may not be right for another but there may be greater appreciation and respect for each other’s opinions. This concept resonates with energy of Aquarius, the sign currently occupied by Pluto.
Since November 2024, Pluto has moved into Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune have moved into Aries and Uranus has moved into Gemini. The last time these four planets were in these signs, all at the same time was before 4,999 BC but we cannot be sure how long it was before that date. It may have been thousands of years previously.
Planets at the beginning of signs bring new learning experiences. This is particularly so at present when the four outermost planets are all at the beginning of their signs. In addition, as humanity has not experienced the current planetary line-up for at least 7,000 years, these are new experiences for everyone on Earth. However, humanity has progressed through many other significant developments during its history.
Evolution is continuous. In recent centuries, there has been the Age of Enlightenment, also called the Age of Reason, the industrial revolution, globalization and major medical and technological advances. The current changes may be associated with similar or even bigger advances for humanity so it is worth looking at what this might mean for us in everyday life.
In recent years there has been greater awareness of spirituality and the subtle realms of life such as the nature spirits and angelic kingdom. There is an increasing appreciation of what is best for the collective rather than the individual. The term ‘collective’ can include the local community, nations and even extend to consider all forms of life on planet Earth.
These changes could well continue and be accompanied by an expansion of consciousness. This may be linked with increased use of the intuition and awareness of the inner wisdom that is in each one of us. We will still be physical beings living in physical bodies but may become much more aware of the connection to other parts of life, both physical and in the unseen realms.
There may be many exciting and new developments within humanity moving the species forward in ways not previously considered. However, as Saturn is in Aries, these changes will be measured and proceed at a pace that humanity can manage.
Much of this update has focussed on the position of the four outermost planets. We can now consider some of the other planets.
On 10thJuly, there is a full Moon in Capricorn while the Sun is in Cancer. While there could be much focus on the family or feelings with the Sun in Cancer, the Moon in Capricorn can help steady the emotions. This can help redirect emotional energy towards doing something practical about whatever situation is going on.
From 16thJuly until early August, the Sun is opposite retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. Until 22nd July, the impartiality and objectivity linked with this air sign can help to counter the sensitivity of the water element while the Sun is in Cancer. Reason and intuition, thoughts and feelings may all blend making full use of both the mental and subtle senses.
Three of the outermost planets, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto, are retrograde throughout the two weeks covered by this update. This can be interpreted as looking at a deeper, inner level to understand what is going on at the outer level, supporting what has been written above about all wisdom being within.
Keep well, stay happy.
