Week Vibes: July 7, 2025 Edition Part 1 - Uranus into Gemini
Two sextiles, one trine.
I've kind of psyched myself out about this one, to be honest.
Every time I sit down and think about Uranus's ingress into Gemini on Monday 7/7 (preceded across the threshold by Venus the weekend before), I think about the lil triangle configuration it's about to make with Saturn-Neptune and Pluto. Which then gets me thinking about the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, which happens every 36 years, and how people are like, "A Saturn-Neptune is about the dissolution of societal and ideological structures that no longer serve! Last time, the Berlin Wall came down!"
But this Saturn-Neptune conjunction is particularly complex because it's in early Aries—and none of us have ever seen Neptune in Aries in our lifetimes, and therefore all of our delineations for Neptune in Aries are extremely speculative (like, more than usual, I guess?)—and because it's taking place at the tail end of Neptune's 100-year-long separating sextile with Pluto, which is about to dissolve and not return for another, oh, 400 years.1
All of which comes to mind because
a) when a planet moves into a new sign, any aspects to it upon entry sort of… color its time in said sign, thematically speaking, and
b) when a planetary pattern that's been present for a while is about to separate, it likes to make sure it's left its mark.
So it's really interesting that Venus, the planet of connection and beauty (and, when aspected to Saturn—dare I say it—restorative justice?), is chaperoning wildcard Uranus into Gemini.
It's really interesting that strict Saturn is conjoining dreamy Neptune in the first degrees of let’s-fuckin-go Aries.
It's really interesting that Venus and Uranus are sextiling Saturn-Neptune and trining transformative Pluto as they cross into Gemini.
It's really interesting that all of this is happening right about when Saturn and Neptune are in the final months of a dance that will bring them to an exact conjunction in February 2026.
All of those factors resonate through the expression of each planet as it travels through its respective sign.
Which brings me back to Uranus's ingress into Gemini on Monday.
So, yeah. See? Scope creep.
Uranus stays in a sign for about 7 years at a time, taking 84 years to make a full circuit of the zodiac. Uranus was last in Gemini from 1941-1949.
Lots of people have lots to say about what Uranus in Gemini portends, and much of it is war-flavored—the USA Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and WWII all took place with Uranus in Gemini. And like, yes, the current global stage is set for (and covered with) terrible, powder-kegular conflict.
But also, Uranus doesn't give a shit about what you think it's going to do, or mean. And in my experience, while a Uranus aspect can bring striking and even seemingly sudden change, it's not like the ingredients weren't there to begin with. Uranus-related action often has this sort of "out of left field" quality to it—but, like, the left field was already there.
Which brings me back to my astro mantra: stay curious.
Because this lil guy? This small blue triangle—a "small talent triangle" or "minor grand trine,” depending on who you ask—is a buddy.
The Huber family refers to this particular configuration as a Small Talent Triangle in their book Aspect Pattern Astrology, and their delineation (geared toward the interpretation of a natal chart) feels particularly hopeful, and relevant:
[The Small Talent Triangle] shows a still developing talent… The sextiles with their Venus quality assimilate the signs and houses that they are stretched across… In this part of the personality, growth is achieved by adapting, as far as possible without stress, to enjoy the subject of this life area as befits their element. The appropriate properties are developed gradually into a distinctive and specialized talent… Usually knowledge and skills are constantly accumulated by calmly absorbing experiences into the consciousness, not through active exertion and hard work [emphases mine].
And everything in recent months that's crossed from Taurus into Gemini has created this lil triangle2, offering a preamble to this more durable configuration involving the four outermost planets.
We'll have this triangle buddy with us through late 2026 (though Saturn will depart from the equation in early spring). And that means that anything that marches across the threshold from Taurus to Gemini is going to light up this particular iteration of the Small Talent Triangle in a way that calls in curiosity, gently or otherwise.
The knowledge (dare I say wisdom) and skill we're building in this time will come through the practice of staying curious in the setting of high-stakes change—staying curious as we grieve the loss of a dream or pattern or conviction, as we celebrate groundbreaking ceremonies for new ones. And we gain that wisdom and skill not through strain or effort but by allowing, like how the breeze reshapes sand dunes over time, and by paying attention so we actually notice what's shifting as the winds blow.
Welcome to the party Gemini, Uranus.

In the last 6 weeks, that's been the sun, Mercury, Venus, and—well, the moon does it every month.
