The Glitch Becomes The Feature

Your Unfiltered Guide to What the Actual Fuck Uranus in Gemini Means for the Next 7 Years

"The future is already here – it's just not very evenly distributed." — William Gibson

PROLOGUE: THE GREAT REWIRING HAS BEGUN

Let's do a quick vibe check. Look outside. The air is orange with wildfire smoke, the internet is a screaming void of AI-generated ghosts and billionaire tantrums, and the political stage looks like a casting call for a Batman villain convention.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re living in a poorly written sci-fi dystopia, congratulations, you’re not insane—you’re just paying attention. The world isn't just burning; it feels like it’s glitching, stuttering, caught between a dying reality and a new one that hasn’t fully rendered yet.

Now, the astrology.

On July 7th, 2025, Uranus, the planet of punk rock, revolution, alien downloads, and total system failure, plugs into the mutable, information-crazed sign of Gemini for a seven-year tour. Also known as the transit of 2025, and arguably, the rest of the decade.

This is the main event. This is the star of the show.

To put it in perspective, the last few times the great awakener barrelled through this sign, it gave us, you know, just a few small things like the American Revolution, the U.S. Civil War, America’s involvement in World War II, complete with the birth of nuclear power and the computer. So, no pressure, America.

This is the astrology of paradigm collapse and radical reinvention.

This is the cosmic hacker plugging a new, chaotic operating system directly into our collective brainstem. It’s a seven-year rewrite of how we think, talk, learn, connect, and process information. The anti-social media’s been dead and decomposing for quite some time now & hopefully this transit cleans up the stinky remains. It promised connection and gave us the opposite, plus an extra helping of far-right propaganda & fascism no one really asked for.

Uranus in Gemini is less "new software update" and more "the moment Neo from The Matrix finally sees the code."

The glitch is now the feature. And we have to learn to navigate it, not just as a global collective, but in the most intimate, personal corners of our own lives.

A HISTORY OF GLORIOUS, BLOODY REVOLUTION & HAPPY BIRTHDAY (the new) US

Ok, for real for real? When Uranus get zapped in Gemini, the world tends to get rearranged, often violently. This isn’t fear-mongering; it's historical fucking precedent. We're talking about a planet whose very discovery in 1781 coincided with the American and French Revolutions, forever linking it to the energy of overthrowing the old guard.

And its relationship with Gemini, the sign of brothers, neighbors, and information, is particularly potent for the United States, a nation born with its own Mars (the god of war) in Gemini.

Every 84 years, when Uranus returns to Gemini, the USA has a major, identity-defining conflict.

1775-1782: The American Revolution. Uranus in Gemini. The birth of a nation through a messy, bloody breakup with its parent country.
1859-1865: The U.S. Civil War. Uranus in Gemini. A war of "brother against brother," a literal Gemini theme, that tore the nation apart and forcibly redefined its soul.
1941-1949: World War II. Uranus entered Gemini in August 1941, just a few months before the "surprise attack" on Pearl Harbor that catapulted the US into a global conflict and established it as a world superpower.

See a pattern here? This transit doesn't just bring new ideas; it brings conflict over those ideas. It represents massive, foundational shifts in the global order. And here we are, in 2025, with the world already a tinderbox of resurgent fascism, proxy wars, and crumbling alliances.

With post-war institutions like NATO hitting their own Uranus returns, we are astrologically primed for a complete reconfiguration of global power. This transit is the soundtrack to the decline of one empire and the chaotic birth of whatever comes next.

This isn't about predicting another World War, but about understanding the sheer scale of the change we're in. The pecking order of imperial powers is being destabilized. The old rules of engagement are being thrown out. The age of fire and air that has just begun is, by its nature, fast-moving and volatile. To pretend otherwise is spiritual malpractice.

"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting." — Milan Kundera

THE GREAT REWIRING (TECHNOLOGY & THE INFOCALYPSE)

If the historical view is the hardware of this transit, the technological view is the software—and it's a buggy, brilliant, terrifying piece of code. Uranus in Gemini is a firehose of innovation aimed directly at our minds. We're moving from the Taurean revolution of matter (cryptocurrency, sustainable farming, even AirBnB business model) to a Geminian revolution of information itself.

🤖 The AI Awakening: This is the big one. We've been playing with AI like it's a clever toy. Under Uranus in Gemini, the toy starts playing back. We're talking about the potential for AI to develop its own language, to create art and philosophy that is indistinguishable from - or somehow superior? - to our own. It's the moment we have to confront the ghost in the machine and ask what it means to be human in a world where we are no longer the smartest things on the planet.

🗣️ The Death of "Truth": Gemini is the trickster, and Uranus is the shock. The potential for mass deception and propaganda is staggering. Think deepfakes so good they could start a war. They probably already did. Think a "cancel culture" that can literally erase or rewrite a person's digital existence. The flip side? This "infocalypse" forces us to become more human! It could spark a revolution in verification technology or, more radically, a return to trusted, local, human-to-human networks of information. When you can't trust what you see online, you have to trust who you know in real life.

🧠 The Transhuman Frontier: From brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink to the rise of nootropics and bio-hacking, this transit will blur the lines between human and machine. On one hand, this offers incredible hope—imagine paraplegics controlling limbs with their thoughts. On the other, it opens a Pandora's box of ethical nightmares about enhancement, equality, and what it means to have an "un-augmented" human experience.

🌐 The Splinternet: The Internet is dead. What was meant as a revolutionary global connective tissue of humanity, turned itself - thanks to HUMANITY - over to cat videos, porn and monetization of everything: even your opinions, kids and pets. Your private data. Your privacy. Because of course it did.

Forget the World Wide Web. Uranus in Gemini, trining Pluto in Aquarius, suggests the potential for a fractured internet. We may see the rise of decentralized, encrypted networks built by and for the people as a form of protest against the centralized, corporate-owned, government-surveilled internet we currently inhabit. It's the birth of digital pirate utopias and autonomous online communities.

YOUR BRAIN ON URANUS IN GEMINI

So what does this cosmic clusterfuck feel like in your own body, in your own nervous system?

Think of this transit is an assault on mental complacency. It shatters old, fixed beliefs and replaces them with a cascade of new, often contradictory, information. It's like having your internal library, with all its neatly organized shelves, hit by a cyclone. Books are flying everywhere. The Dewey Decimal System is a joke. You might find a volume of quantum physics shelved next to a book on ancient witchcraft, and suddenly realize they're talking about the same thing. Because they are.

This is a time of immense mental curiosity and intellectual promiscuity. You'll want to learn everything, talk to everyone, and chase down every rabbit hole. The danger is burnout. Mental exhaustion is a real risk over the next seven years. The challenge is not to drown in the data stream, but to become a surfer, riding the waves of information with agility and a sense of play.

Gemini energy, at its best, is about learning as you go, about staying light on your feet, and about understanding that there are always at least two sides to every story. This is your invitation to embrace your own inner trickster, to become more adaptable, more curious, and infinitely more interesting.

🛠️ HOW TO SURF THE STATIC: YOUR COSMIC FIELD GUIDE 🛠️

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." — Albert Einstein

🧠 Question Everything: This is your cosmic permission slip to become a radical skeptic. Question the official narrative. Question the news. Question the guru. Most importantly, question your own long-held beliefs. Interrogate your own "truths" with the relentless curiosity of a 4-year-old asking "But why?"

👯 Embrace Your Inner Hypocrite: Gemini is the sign of the twins. It understands duality. You are allowed to contain multitudes. You can be a spiritual anarchist, a joyful pessimist, a sensitive badass. This transit frees you from the tyranny of having to be just one thing. Let yourself be contradictory. It’s more honest.

⚡ Learn to Ride the Glitch: When things get weird, when plans detonate, when the simulation stutters—lean in. The moments of chaos are portals. The breakdowns are breakthroughs. Instead of asking "Why is this happening to me?" ask "What is this revealing for me?" When the aliens finally land, and trust this will most likely happen during the Uranus in Gemini transit, take it in stride. We’ve been warned. No one should be surprised.

✍️ SACRED HOMEWORK FOR THE REVOLUTION ✍️

This isn't about getting an A+. It's about staying sane. Grab a journal, or just a quiet moment with your own buzzing brain.

The Info-Detox: What is one source of information (a news site, a social media account, a person) that consistently makes you feel anxious or stupid? Mute it for the rest of the month. What do you notice in the silence?
The Genius Inventory: What are you good at that seems useless? Juggling? Remembering movie trivia? Untangling knots? This "useless" skill is a clue to your unique, Uranian genius. How can you play with it more? See I said ‘play’, not ‘monetize’. We must end that tyranny of ‘how can you make this hobby/talent/interest make you more money’ bullshit. DO and BE for pleasure of it. For the challenge of it.
The Duality Dialogue: Pick one thing you believe strongly. Now, spend 15 minutes passionately arguing the exact opposite position. The goal isn't to change your mind, but to stretch its capacity to hold complexity.
The Future You: Write a letter from your future self at the end of this transit in 2033. What did you learn? What did you let go of? What revolution did you start?

EPILOGUE: THE CASE FOR JOY AS AN ACT OF WAR

So, here we are, standing at the trailhead of a strange and electric new world. It’s easy to look at the historical precedents and the current state of affairs and feel a deep sense of dread.

And that's real. That's valid. I’m mortified. But also excited. Like with tarot’s TOWER card, you will not control the ferocity, aim & timing of that lightning bolt. Your sheer will, wish or resistance will not stop The Tower from crumbling down.

But there’s a special sort of magick in witnessing the inevitable fall, whilst simultaneously holding the deep knowing that something else WILL EVENTUALLY rise in its place, firmly in your trembling hands.

Uranus is not just a planet of doom. It is the great awakener. It shatters old structures not just for the sake of destruction, but to create the space for something new, something more authentic, and something freer to be born.

The work of this era isn't about waiting for a hero or a government or a tech billionaire to save us. It's about realizing that we are the information network.

Our conversations, our communities, our art, our acts of mutual aid is the new, decentralized internet of the human soul.

To stay informed without succumbing to the brain rot, to stay angry without letting bitterness consume us, to build pockets of radical joy and deep connection in a world that profits from our isolation and despair... that is the work.

That is the revolution. It’s messy, it’s contradictory, and it’s the most important thing we’ll ever do.

Stay safe. Stay feral. And for fuck's sake, stay curious.

I crafted this meditation for the exact volatile astrological times we're experiencing in July 2025.

With Uranus in Gemini, we're navigating a period of intense, rapid change and unpredictable shifts, both globally and personally. This transit can leave us feeling antsy, overstimulated, and searching for stability amidst the chaos.

So, if you're feeling frayed, frazzled, or frankly, like you might spontaneously combust, I've cooked up something just for you. It's a guided meditation. But again, not the spa-music-and-whispering-platitudes kind.

This is for us. The ones who need their spirituality raw, real, and with a bit of bite.

Your grounding awaits HERE.

Hey you, my beautiful cosmic weirdo. Thanks for sticking with me this far. I appreciate your precious eyeballs more than you know.

Before we get personal, let's talk about the cosmic eviction that’s taking place. For the last seven years (since 2018) Uranus has been running a riot through the stable, earthy sign of Taurus, flipping your world upside down and inside out.

Think of it as the chaotic roommate who rearranged your financial furniture, challenged your deepest values, and maybe set your "stable" life plan on fire just to see what would happen. You've been pulled through the trenches of that Taurus-ruled part of your chart; maybe it was your career that suddenly felt like a house of cards, or your finances that went on a wild rollercoaster ride.

Well, that chaotic roommate has finally been evicted, and a new one just moved in: fast-talking, chain-smoking, genius-level trickster who has taken over the part of your chart ruled by Gemini (think Angelina Jolie in Girls, Interrupted). The focus of the revolution is shifting from matter to mind, from what you own to what you know.

Below is your sign-by-sign tactical download: we're looking at what just got beautifully wrecked, and what's about to get a seven-year, high-voltage, genius-level makeover, and I throw some original tarot pull, sacred homework, actionable steps & a simple spell for each zodiac sign.

This is where the rest of the magic is reserved for my paid subscribers, who keep this whole thing running by buying me a strong Italian coffee each month. For less than the price of a fancy oat milk latte (you can cancel anytime, no weirdness), you get the keys to the kingdom.
