Full Moon in Capricorn - Proving Your Worth

 On Thursday July 10 we have a Full Moon at 18 degrees of Capricorn. Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs and is the height of the lunar cycle. This can be a time of culmination of projects, an increase in activity and a time of heightened emotions as the Moon represents our subconscious and feelings. The Sun in Cancer has us focus on our internal world, the home and family connections. Cancer season can be a time to slow down and reflect on the past and our close relationships. The Full Moon in Capricorn reminds us to look at the material world and what we would like to achieve in that realm. What is it that we want to build, to attain and to accomplish, especially in a career or in the public eye. While connecting with our heart is important, we are reminded of the need to do practical things in the world too.

This Full Moon does not have a lot of aspects to it, but it is being supported by a trine with Mars in Virgo. This lends a practical and pragmatic energy. Mars in Virgo likes to make lists, to break down a project into achievable goals and then cross each task off as it is achieved. The ambition of the Capricorn Moon combined with the will power and focused energy of Mars in Virgo means we can accomplish a lot if we get organized and start taking even small steps toward our goals. The only caveat is that Mars in Virgo can be critical and perfectionist. Try to remember that done is better than perfect, and to not be overly harsh with yourself or others now.

This Full Moon is also forming a t-square with Chiron in Aries. Chiron is about our wounds and how we can heal them. As squares are stressful aspects, this may represent a feeling of trying to accomplish things outwardly in order to repair or heal an emotional wound. We may feel that in order to be seen and valued (Chiron in Aries) we have to achieve something (Capricorn Moon). We mistake external validation for our own inward approval. The other end of the t-square is the Sun in Cancer, showing that we sometimes tone down our independence and unique identity (Chiron in Aries) to fit in with those around us (Sun in Cancer). There's nothing wrong with achieving things or belonging to a group, but we must also be ourselves without people pleasing or feeling we have to perform for approval.

The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is "A Small Child With a Large Bag of Groceries". This symbol is about the desire to be helpful and contribute. When we were little we often wanted to show that we could do the things that the "grown ups" could do. We wanted to be a valuable member of the team and this sometimes resulted in us showing that we are more capable than we ourselves, or others thought, and sometimes resulted in us biting off more than we could chew. This again advises us that this Full Moon we can accomplish a lot, especially if we focus on service and break things down into more manageable tasks. Don't take on too much in an effort to prove yourself. Remember you are already worthy and valuable just as you are.

Uranus in Gemini - War, Transportation and Communication Technology

 On July 07, 2025, Uranus moves into Gemini after being in Taurus since May of 2018. Uranus is the planet of chaos, sudden change, inspiration and technology, and whatever sign he is in brings rapid changes, chaos and revolution to the topics of that sign. Uranus is one of the slow moving outer planets, only changing signs every 8 years, and takes a total of 84 years to go all the way around the zodiac. This makes Uranus more of a generational planet rather than a personal one. We tend to feel the changes Uranus brings in the wider world around us, rather than in our own personal lives. The exception is when the planet makes an aspect to an important point in our personal chart, then we feel the effect in the form of surprises, inspiration or unexpected events. Like Neptune and Pluto, Uranus sets the tone for the zeitgeist of our time, and this year sees the collective energy making major shifts as all three of these planets are changing signs. You can read more about Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune in Aries in my other blog posts.

Uranus in Taurus saw changes in technology regarding food and the environment. Think about the rise of artificial meat, the increase in wind and solar power and the rise of electric vehicles to name a few. One of the biggest technological changes was the rise of cryptocurrency as Taurus rules money and what we value. While crypto was invented prior to this period, I often find that the Uranus period marks a time when certain technologies that align with the sign it is in become more widely used and accepted by the public. Uranus also brings revolutions and disruptions, and this period saw an increase in labour disputes, with strikes and efforts to unionize, as Taurus also rules labour. and the work force 

Uranus will be in Gemini until May 22, 2033, although it will briefly retrograde back into Taurus November 07, 2025 - April 26, 2026. So, the next 4 months will give us a preview of what Uranus will bring over the next 8 years. When trying to predict for an upcoming transit, we look to the past ones for recurring themes. Uranus was previously in Gemini from 1941 - 48, 1858- 66 and 1774- 82 etc. Below are the top 5 themes I am expecting to see.

1. Conflict for the US - You may have noticed that the years listed above for the last three Uranus in Gemini transits coincide with periods of conflict in the US. During these times the US experienced WW2, the Civil War and the end of the Revolutionary War. This is because the chart for the US (cast for the signing of the Declaration of independence) features the sign of Gemini prominently, particularly for how the country relates to others. Uranus in this part of the chart makes for unusual and shocking events, and revolutionary energies in its dealings with other nations or those it sees as "other". I really hope this pattern does not continue to hold true, however given current events it seems that this will repeat. Concerning also is that Neptune is in the sign it was last in during the Civil War, and Pluto is in the sign it was last in during the end of the American Revolution. 
   
   
2. Changes to Transportation - Gemini rules transportation, particularly short distance transportation rather than international. Think cars, trains and domestic flights. During the last Uranus in Gemini transit cars and air travel became more accessible to the average person, and there was a post war boom in road building. Something similar happened during the 1858 - 66 transit, with a boom in railways being built and expansion into the western US and Canada. This time I wonder if technologies like self-driving cars and drones will become more widespread. 
   
   
3. Changes to Communication Technologies - In addition to transportation, Gemini rules communication and previous Uranus in Gemini years have seen changes in this area. During the previous transit the television came into people's homes, forever changing the way we are entertained and informed. This era also saw the invention of what would form the basis of wifi and the internet, which has had a profound impact on how we communicate and access information. This time around it looks like AI will be a major force in changing communication and information technologies. Where that takes us remains to be seen.
   
   
4. Educational Reform - Gemini is associated with learning and information, and Uranus in Gemini eras often see reform and updates to education systems along with changing ideas around what is important to pass on to the next generation. During the post war period, there was a greater emphasis on standardization, and vocational training. In post war Britain programs to feed children and provide stability were highlighted. There were also more educational opportunities for returning veterans making for a more educated populace. The Uranus in Gemini transit of the 1860s also saw educational reform with the introduction of "common schools", standardized textbooks and more educational opportunities for girls. Its hard to say what form this will take this time, but I hope that we may see some of the same impulses to upgrade our educational system.
   
   
5. Changing Neighbourhoods - The Uranus in Gemini period of the 1770s and early 1780s saw the beginnings of the industrial revolution with more people moving from rural areas into cities where more jobs were centred. This profoundly changed the structure of society from agrarian to urban. In the following period of the 1860s, this process continued but there was also the push for people to move and expand into the western US, Canada and Australia etc. This time the move was from more urban and built-up areas to rural ones. Then in the 1940s Uranus in Gemini period came the rise of the suburbs. With the car becoming more accessible, people could commute into the city and live on the edge closer to the countryside. This time around I wonder if ideas like "the 15-minute city" will catch on with more emphasis on local neighbourhoods and having more smaller self-sufficient communities. 

It is hard to predict exactly how thew Uranus in Gemini is going to change technology over the next 8 years, as the very nature of the planet is unpredictability. I sincerely hope that the pattern of the US experiencing either internal or external conflict does not hold true. One thing is for sure, Uranus in Gemini eras will bring upheaval and profound changes to the way we travel, communicate and share information.

Profound Global Transformation - Pluto, Uranus and Neptune Changing signs

This year all three outer planets, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus change signs marking a profound change in the collective energy. Any one of these planets changing signs is a big change, however all three changing signs in the same year is unusual and shows that humanity is undergoing a profound transformation. While change can be daunting, it is helpful to know that these three planets will be forming harmonious aspects to each other from 2025 to 2028. They will be forming a minor trine, an aspect where two planets are trine (120 degrees) to each other and sextile (60 degrees) to the third one. This aspect shows that these three planets will be working together to create opportunities, growth and to help ease us through these rapidly changing times. Lets take a look at each of these planetary transits and the aspects they are making to each other for more insight.

Pluto in Aquarius - Pluto initially moved into Aquarius in 2023, but due to retrogrades back into Capricorn in 2023 and 2024, he did not fully go into Aquarius until January of this year. Pluto is about power, transformative change, endings, secrets and the underworld. In Aquarius he is about rebellion and revolution, the power of the people, and technology changing society. He also can be about how new technologies like the internet and AI can be abused by those in power. 

Neptune in Aries - Neptune transited into Aries on March 30, and will briefly retrograde back to Pisces this fall, then return in January 2026 to Aries. Neptune is spirituality and the collective dream. It is what we idealize and fantasize about. It also has connections to the ocean, chemistry, the arts and drugs and alcohol. In Aries we tend to idealize the individual, archetypes like the pioneer, the cowboy and the warrior. There is increased focus on self-reliance but also dangers in idealizing war or self-sufficiency to our collective detriment. We could also see oceans warming or naval warfare. There is also opportunity for spiritual leaders to emerge now.

Uranus in Gemini - On July 7, 2025, Uranus the planet of technology, chaos and sudden change (as opposed to Pluto's slow-moving change) moves into the communicative sign of Gemini. Like the other three planets he will briefly retrograde back into Taurus late this year and then go back into Gemini for the next 8 years. Uranus in Gemini has historically coincided with the US being at war (Revolution, Civil War, WW2) and then reinventing itself, so we will see if this pattern continues. Uranus is about technology and in Gemini we see leaps forward in both communication and transportation. Think trains, the postal service, radar, television, the basis for wifi and computers etc. which were all invented or came into widespread use during previous Uranus in Gemini periods. This era may see similar leaps forward in communication and transportation technology. 

Pluto in Aquarius trine Uranus in Gemini - Trines bring a sense of ease and expansion, and with both of these outer planets in air signs, new ideas and inspiration will flow freely. Pluto in Aquarius brings long term change in technology that will affect our society and the distribution of power. This will work well with the sudden leaps forward in new inventions that Uranus will bring. The next several years will mark profound changes to the way we communicate and travel. As these planets are in a trine, it shows that the changes will be relatively smooth and bring opportunities for many. 

Pluto in Aquarius sextile Neptune in Aries. Pluto has been relatively sextile Neptune for a most of the 20th century. However, the next few years sees them very close in degree to each other. Pluto sextile Neptune has been associated with an increase in interest in the paranormal, psychic abilities and alternative spiritualities. I expect this to continue but with a different tone. We may see new forms of spirituality that incorporates new technology, either using it as part of their practice or even worshiping it. We may also see the rise of new religions or charismatic leaders, who use technology to spread their messages. I also expect to see themes of mediumship and UFOs becoming more prevalent. 

Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries. Uranus is all about the unusual, the revolutionary and the weird. In Gemini he brings unusual ideas and as he is working with Neptune in Aries, we may see more strange ideas and innovations to spirituality. Expect to also see more charismatic and interesting spiritual leaders, and encouragement of self-reliance and individualism. This can have both positive and negative implications as this can help people to be more disciplined and independent and these leaders can inspire. However, the downside is fragmentation of beliefs, lack of empathy for others and conspiracy theories and cult leaders. As this is a harmonious aspect, I think this will lean more towards the positive, but it is good to be aware of how this energy could become toxic.

This mystical minor trine will be in effect for several years, so these will be long term influences and not any single event. Please note that Neptune will retrograde back into Pisces and Uranus into Taurus later this year. This trine will still be in effect, although the tone may slightly change. Overall, this aspect with all three outer planets over the next several years is encouraging us to collectively transform our relationship to power (Pluto) and our individual spirituality (Neptune) while navigating fast paced technological change (Uranus). By the time we arrive at 2030 the world will be a different place, and the gods are trying to help us to navigate the changes and make a better world for ourselves and others.
