a look at the new celestial landscape
We have officially crossed the threshold into the new world according to our celestial landscape, as the planet Uranus—our harbinger of breakthroughs, change, freedom and awakening from rigidity, monotony, and outdated conditioning—has moved into Gemini.
This change emphasizes the geometric patterns, or aspects, that the outer planets are currently making to one another. All of the outer planets, the forces that guide us collectively through our greater evolution, are now speaking to one another directly through a series of harmonious aspects. This configuration will be leading the story for the next five years, which means that any transit you are receiving from one of these planets is connecting you into this greater activation.
It is an incredibly significant moment in our history, one that might feel completely out of our control, and also deeply calling us into Self remembrance and new found understanding of our place here in this time through the changes that will ultimately be rippling through our lives.
The first part of this transition has had Saturn beginning to form a conjunction with Neptune through the signs of Pisces and Aries. These two have both stationed retrograde this month, emphasizing their impact in the Aries part of the zodiac. It is very significant that Saturn—being our planet that brings things into form—is present with the outer planets as they align into this formation. The next year and a half before Saturn moves forward and out of the conjunction with Neptune is sure to be an important time of restructuring in response and flow with the changing terrain.
With Neptune and Saturn being in the sign of Aries, this pulls focus back toward the self and our individual dreams, along with our drive and capacity to actually bring form to our passions. I have been personally understanding the first part of their transit as the important work of recognizing the destructive and diminishing beliefs that may be the framework of our personal experience of this life and allowing ourselves to fully surrender these beliefs to Neptune to be dissolved back into the void for repurposing. When we take risks and step outside of our comfort zone, which Aries energy often asks us to do, it puts us in the ripe position to face fears and have our ego and all its potential insecurities come out into the open.
For this reason, it might seem like the things we are trying to start, places we wish to go, things we are trying to accomplish, are not progressing in the way we want. Neptune is formlessness, so it may feel like the Saturnian efforts you put forward are still elusive, even if you’ve tried to give them teeth. This process holds a much bigger purpose though. Any triggers that arise from what feels like defeat, loss, or road blocks in our progress, are here to expose underlying beliefs and make them perfectly clear to us so that we can properly resolve any internal tensions before creating for the long haul.
Speak gratitude upon whatever blocks or difficulties are showing up right now, this is very much the energy of Neptune with Saturn making sure that you are not building your future on a fault line.
Uranus was the final outer planet to shift into new territory this year, bringing with it the emphasis on Mercury and our mental sphere. Neptune and Saturn sextile both Uranus here in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, only emphasizes this mental energy more as these planets are both in air signs, calling attention to the mind and our thoughts.
The words we speak, the things we think, the thoughts that bring meaning to us and the ones that continue to keep us in suffering, are the new current and wind in our sails directing us through life. If there ever were a time to recognize just how much our words are spells, it is now.
I did a whole breakdown focusing on what Uranus moving into this area of the chart means for those with planets currently being aspected by this planet, you can check out the full breakdown here:
Become the loving architect of your internal universe.
Remember that every action you take in the world first begins as a thought running through your body, inspiring you to move. Where is that thought anchored? What belief is it tethered to? Use the energy of this moment to become your own champion. We can reclaim ourselves from past conditioning and beliefs when we approach them with love and understanding. There is always a reason parts of us hold onto painful beliefs and it’s up to us to find out why and show them another way is possible.
With Uranus in Gemini, it might only take that initial first revelation of the pattern and contact with that part of us for the old internal paradigms to dramatically shift. And Pluto’s influence from Aquarius is bringing depth and meaning to these transformations, rendering their impact quite significant for our collective liberation and evolution.
Now is the time to stay malleable.
To create with a light touch and welcome failure as part of the process of building something truly magnificent. Set backs are the gold, bringing focus back to the inner life and showing us exactly what needs adjusting to actually align with destiny, which is very much the energy of Neptune with Saturn. Bridging the seen and unseen worlds, fantasy with real life, the miraculous with the mundane. If we learn to converse with both in equal measure, they are sure to lead us where we always wanted to be, whether or not our minds conceived it first or if it was just a feeling we’ve always carried with us in our heart.
With all the outer planets singing together right now, the possibility for rapid transformation is imminent if we just take the steps to bring our consciousness toward what needs our love and illumination.
Wherever there is frustration, fear, and suffering in your life, that is where you are meant to work. Trust that the more we do this for ourselves and say thank you for all that is being revealed, the more the collective wounds are illuminated and find their own forms of healing and integration for the greater good.
Extending appreciation to all brave enough to traverse through hell towards the freedom that comes when we welcome all parts of self into the purifying love of our heart. May this time bless you and bring you home.
