Uranus moves into Gemini ♊️

I’ve been really looking forward to this transit. We had a taste of it back on June 7, 2025, to November 7, 2025.

Uranus is the Great Awakener. Known as the Prometheus archetype, taking fire from the Gods and giving it to the regular people.

It is said that Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury. I do find this to be true from my experience. The Uranian influence is one of my favorite and that might be because I’ve got Aquarius rising and Uranus is the modern ruler for Aquarius. But there are other reasons for me.

I’ve been enjoying the possibility of innovation, but I have been mostly noticing increased communication with my neighbors! Gemini is the sign connected to the 3rd house with neighbors and siblings. It relates to the voice and expression, as well as to the thoughts and nervous system.

Many are predicting even more technological innovations. I’m sure we are beyond saturation point with that and AI. Considering the trend, it’s an easy prediction. As far as humans are concerned, we are being required to adapt at much faster pace than ever before—constant changes and upgrades!

I’d like to offer, though, that fundamentally we are more than our environments. We can use this innovative energy to go within and reconnect and revision our inner pathways. We can embrace networks of support within and develop our relationships through this very foundation of the inner knowledge and knowing.

Recently I wrote a bit about meditation, self inquiry, and contemplation. I did have it mentioned in a few spiritual or religious contexts but I believe you have so many options with meditation and the inner dialogue. You can adapt ‘that’ to what is ‘your’ belief system you are strengthening or loosening.. finding your inner trust that is unshakable is the goal. Whether it’s with yourself and the creator or however you connect to the ALL, knowing and reverence is yours to experience.

It’s a good time to reframe how you talk to yourself, too. How loving can you be? How much compassion can you bring into that space of inquiry and to sit with the peaceful knowing that you are always more than your thoughts, more than phenomena?

Embody

i am silent

because 

only felt pulses live 

in the dark sensations of

what “knowing” actually is:

a brief, ephemeral glimpse of

a much grander scheme 

that has open ends.  

EMBODIMENT is fresh and full, 

more like a river or a lake with edges that wax and wane

responding to changes in environment.

It’s not a face, nor a definition: not an identity. 

‘Knowing’ is not loud, screaming, underlined. 

Not out-lined in bold, 

dot-pointed, close-toed

tight-lipped, buttoned, scheduled. Clipboard authority. 

But it’s still precise

It’s a silent holding of temperature and form,

a collection of discrete matter. You sense its presence,

because you are also

presence. 

(…and that is the only real reason)

How it formed is not important

nor does “Why does it live and die?” 

It is eternal, I am.

‘Embodiment’ pulses, like an electron—

almost not there, but here, full, open, and pregnant with an observed breath. 

I am silent because of this. 

Poem 6 Day 6

spirit diving deeper

into the ravine

a black opening

whence

this void holds the choice

in virgin dust it forms

for an emerging pregnancy

to incarnate

and send ripples

through the curves of space-time

tap tap on

the black top hat

the magician weighs

the rabbit beforehand,

make sure it fits

a universe inside it.

Moving through this challenge! Let see what tomorrow brings! It’s actually more fun to write poetry when all I have is a few moments. 🤪🎩🐇

the sound is crashing

flowing and fresh

pounding energy

generating flesh

rejuvenating rainbow

chakras aligned, aglow

we will live the way we

are designed, aligned

we can transcend the mountain

by flowing down

its terrain

misting up and fueling

the heart with great stretches

bringing down rain

rest a while here, and

generate energy.

Scarab Beetle with Wings

http://www.universeofsymbolism.com/scarab-symbolic-meaning.html

Yesterday, at Balboa Park, I was greeted by an interesting type of flying Scarab beetle.

During our somewhat brief interaction, I went into a position with my arms out, as though I was being smudged with sage before a ceremony. It even took a couple of passes across the length of my body and around my heart chakra. SO COOL!!!! How do those little wings hold up that big, green, sparkling body?! The energy of it felt wonderfully soothing, there wasn’t a touch of fear in my body. Otherwise, a big, buzzing bug, that seemed to arrive out of nowhere, might startle me.

I had some computer trouble this past week, and car trouble; so the computer didn’t get resolved yet. I’m also looking at a loss of files. This was classic Mercury retrograde (and we’re still in it!). Natal Moon and Mercury in Cancer, and a Jupiter and Saturn in Virgo- plus the “more-or-less-there” grand cross activates my personal planets –especially my natal Moon square Pluto. Not to mention the Chiron retrograde at the Solstice, and my natal 3rd house (Mercury/Gemini) Chiron. I haven’t been able to practice my Chinese since my laptop firmware issue – the Apple Manufacturing defect required them to wipe everything – that I only partially backed up, due to perceived time constraints. See my former Mercury retrograde article. I’ll come back and edit this article eventually.

Meanwhile… amazingly awesome and mystical encounters…allow me to know that I am
