July~November 2025, Uranus' first transit into Gemini in my lifetime. It's my 6H. As it's finishing up its retrograde in Taurus, I wasn't sure whether to be excited or anxious about its official ingress into Gemini in April so I took a look into its initial ingress to see if I can make sense of the "preview".

The only outstanding pattern I could pick up from quick look at the months following July, as I have been lousy with record keeping/journaling, was that I had an unusual amount of outings and with a diverse type of relationships: friends, colleagues, family (super rare, as we all live in different places, not to mention my aunt with whom I reconnected only December of 2024 after a long silence), people I haven't seen in a while etc.

If Christopher Renstrom's remark that even the timeframes leading up to and some time after its exit into the sign can be the most significant, I also had an unprecedented business trip to two countries holding workshops at the client's and was under extreme stress. Venus rules my 10H and my natal Venus is in Gemini.

Both events (social outings, biz trips) signify a lot of traveling but at the moment can't see the connection with 3H and 9H (My 9H is ruled by Mercury which is in my Gemini so could have been activated but...).

I'm a Gemini stellium with Sun, Mercury, and Venus all placed there (with chiron) so Uranus going through this sign is going to be life changing either way. Having a stellium, does this mean it will activate the signs and houses the planets rule?: Leo, Gemini, Virgo, Taurus, and Libra?? That would be hella chaos.

I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.

“Generally speaking, you’re free till you’re about four years old, five, around. Then you go to grammar school, and then you start becoming demented and solved, and orientated and shoved into areas. You lose what individualism you have. If you have enough, of course, you retain some of it. But most don’t have enough. So you become a watcher of game shows, you know, things like that. And you work the eight hour job with almost a feeling of goodness, like you’re doing something. And you get married like marriage is a victory, and you have children like children is a victory. But most things most people do are a total grind: Marriage, birth, children. It’s something they have to do because there’s nothing else to do. There’s no glory in it, there’s no steam, there’s no fire, it’s very, very flat. And the earth is full of them. Sorry, but, that’s the way I see it”
