This is a BIG WEEK for Modern Mundane Astrology
With Uranus’s entrance into Gemini, this week begins our window where all of the superior and outer planets are in their new signs.
From July 7th until August 31st
Jupiter is in Cancer
Saturn in Aries,
Neptune is in Aries
Uranus is in Gemini
Pluto is in Aquarius
Examine the chart above. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction forms a sextile to both Uranus and Pluto. Uranus now holds a trine with Pluto, reinforcing a dynamic architecture of transformation in the age of air. This pattern is a shape of change, a map of upheaval. It’s the shift many contemporary astrologers have been talking about.
Saturn and Neptune operate as a dissolving force, eroding structures that once seemed immovable. Saturn’s fall amplifies the break. Uranus accelerates this process with abrupt shifts and systemic jolts. Together, these three planets form a coalition of disruption, united in dismantling the old toward something not yet fully imagined. Uranus maintains a sign-based sextile with Saturn through 2028, and with Neptune through 2033.
Meanwhile, Uranus and Pluto amplify a deeper revolution in the realms of AIR (technology, artificial intelligence, social frameworks, and ideological paradigms.) Reflect back on the ways we’ve connected Pluto’s transit of Aquarius to the triplicity shift into air. Uranus is a new actor in that story. It escalates, innovates, and disrupts.
Uranus enters Gemini
Let’s begin with a familiar refrain: the air era is not coming, it is here. If Pluto in Aquarius is the ideological architect of the air age, Uranus is the innovating force that brings it, at a breakneck pace, into being.

THE HURRICANE IN THE TRIPLICITY SHIFT
Using traditional mundane astrology, the air era has been unfolding since 2000. The Saturn–Jupiter conjunction in 2020 signaled a turning point. Then, Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius added serious gravity in the form of technocratic authority and mundane adoption of AI technologies.
Uranus in Gemini is a new actor in this story. It is one that will pollinate and proliferate these changes. To my eye, it appears as a hurricane within the triplicity shift. It whips the air into a frenzy—toppling, rearranging, scattering. Uranus is like an atmospheric destabilizer and accelerator in the burgeoning era of air. I imagine that by the end of this transit, the shape of our quotidian lives will be shockingly different.
URANUS AND GEMINI’S QUALITATIVE SIMILARITIES
Uranus and Gemini both exemplify a kind of moral ambivalence that resists binary interpretation of good or bad. They are not forces of virtue or vice, but catalysts of change, movement, and multiplicity. Uranus, as the planet of disruption and radical innovation, destabilizes the status quo—not out of malice or benevolence, but as an inherent expression of upheaval. Is innovation a good or bad thing? That’s an impossible question to answer without much more context.
Similarly, Gemini, governed by Mercury, embodies intellectual multiplicity and mutable logic. It thrives on contradiction, fluidity, and perspective-shifting rather than moral consistency or dogma. Both archetypes challenge static frameworks, offering instead a dynamic mode of being that prioritizes transformation and change.
Connecting this to our conversation of the air era, we can identify that air as an element is also inherently unstable. Taken together, many factors point to rapidly shifting landscapes. The winds are picking up, and the weather is changing. When stability is unavailable, it is helpful to stay nimble and flexible. When change introduces itself, it is best to acknowledge it.
As the shape of our quotidian lives recalibrates, we must temper the pace of change to an anchor of ethics. Each of us will need to devote time to thoughtful consideration of these changes. Innovation always comes at a cost. Be willing to examine the price being paid.
GEMINI & THE SIBLY CHART
This is a transit that modern mundane astrologers have discussed for years, especially in relation to the United States. If you’ve been interested in astrology for the last several years, you’ve heard about it. The Sibly chart (a chart used for the US) has Uranus in Gemini.
Before moving on, I should say that if astrology is giving you anxiety, I highly recommend putting it down. It will be there when you want to return to it.
Similarly, no single piece of data ever tells the whole story. It is tempting to use single-pointed anecdotal information to over-emphasize correlation. Astrology is and should be complex.
If you are tuned into astrology on the internet, you’ve likely heard this transit discussed in relation to war. While the US has been involved in foreign wars for almost every single year of its existence, Uranus in Gemini specifically overlaps with the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II. I never rely on a single transit or a single piece of data to suggest such severe outcomes. Still, it’s worth noting that periods of Uranus in Gemini coincide with historic upheaval in the US.
A necessary anchor in this discussion is the Sibly chart. The Sibly chart has Uranus in Gemini, but it also features Mars in Gemini. Mars amplifies the explosive qualities of Uranus.
In that chart, Mars (the traditional malefic associated with war and violence) is the out-of-sect malefic. This means Mars will present problems. Mars is dynamically angular in the prominent seventh house. This means Mars has an opportune position from which to enact those problems.
We’ve discussed Mars (and its square to Neptune) in many previous Patreon posts. It’s a tricky placement. Think back to discussions on the USA’s relationship to guns, mass shootings/violence, toxic masculinity, foreign wars, police violence, etc. Mars speaks to the inflammation of these issues.
As we might in a natal chart, We could use this transit of Uranus in Gemini to think through the Siby’s complex Gemini house. The following years will test this house and this Mars. Uranus, for all of its destabilizing force, also offers real substantive change. As this transit begins, many Americans are waking up to the reality of Mars.
URANUS' TRANSITS IN GEMINI
The drawing below illustrates the major transits Uranus will make while in Gemini. You can zoom in to see the various aspects and dates. During it's time in Gemini, Uranus will sextile and conjoin Saturn. It will trine Pluto in Aquarius. It will sextile Neptune in Aries. It will make a host of aspects with Jupiter. There is a Mar's retrograde that will square it. There will be a Venus retrograde copresent in Gemini.
These aspects are varied. Some are more complex/intense than others. For example, at the end of its transit through Gemini, Uranus will be met by Saturn in Gemini. In modern mundane conjunctional theory, that is a major aspect. It will be exact in the summer of 2032.
There's a very tricky Mars retrograde in early 2027. That retrograde makes it into the 2027 Aries ingress. That lets us know that the heat of Mars will impact the whole year. Additionally, 2027 coincides with a Mars-ruled profection for the United States.
DIGITAL TWIN: IT’S ALIVE!
With Uranus in Gemini, the internet gets stranger and more alive. Generally, Gemini is deeply curious. As a Mercury-ruled sign, it traffics in language and learning. Uranus in Gemini will bring major upheavals to knowledge, language, media, and AI. It will transform the information and education sectors as we know them. Many of us who work as consultants and educators already know that the space we work in will be unrecognizable by the time Uranus leaves Gemini.
Similarly, the digital twin is a perfect image for this transit. Gemini, the sign of the Twins, is “double-bodied.” Most of us have digital doppelgangers, speaking and acting for us, in the curated social media museums of ourselves; Uranus in Gemini will likely enliven them.
Similarly, Gemini traffics in double-speak. Expect deep shifts in how we understand plagiarism, consciousness, personhood, and authenticity.
Gemini is also a place of movement. Expect major changes in transit.
