Uranus Entering Gemini Livestream — Horoscopes and Live Q&A

Okay. Well, good morning. Welcome in, everybody. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology, I am going live today to talk about the entrance of Uranus into the sign of Gemini and to do horoscopes for all of you.

We're going to be taking a look at the entrance of Uranus into Gemini in a new whole sign house in your birth chart. After seven years in the sign of Taurus, we are getting the next seven years of Uranus movement through the Zodiac in the sign of Gemini.

That also means a brand new place in our lives, in our birth charts, becomes the focus of Uranus revolutionary activity. So we're going to kind of discuss the general significations of Uranus in Gemini today, and then we're going to be taking a look at the whole sign horoscopes.

You could listen to these for your sun or your rising sign. Before I get into those horoscopes, a couple of things. One, I'm going to be introducing you to some of our staff and talking about the upcoming year one program, which begins this weekend.

So I'm in the final moments of promoting the new course. I'll talk about that, introduce you to some of the staff, and also tell you how you can book readings through our affordable reading service with any of these lovely people.

This is a pretty cool thing that we developed in the past year thanks to your support in the Kickstarter. But not everyone is aware of that service, so I'm going to be, for sure, trying to kind of take some more time with it today.

Let's see. So before we do that, let's hear where you guys are coming from. I love getting up doing a little roll call and hearing where in the world you're coming from.

KP, 1231, from Cleveland. Sounds like a droid. Name from Star Wars. Welcome in from Cleveland.

Uh DIY. Mama from South Carolina. I love this. Sarah's first time. Oh, well, welcome. Glad you can catch the live today.

Hello from the south of France, from alt Colorado, from Asheville, North Carolina from London, from Lisbon. Wow, Milwaukee, got Kansas, Oregon, Germany, Toronto, Monique coming in from LA Berlin. Omaha, Nebraska. Love it.

Barbados, Portugal, let's see Nova. Scotia. I love this. I love seeing where everyone's coming from. It's so cool.

From Sedona, from the Bay Area from Seattle, from Brazil, from Croatia. I do feel like a droid at work. Sometimes that's fun.

Uh, nor Norwich, I think I said that, right? Norway, Cape Town, the dead head from South Jersey. Oh, you know, I love that.

Susheela from Toronto. She's going to be live with us here in a minute, Lexington, Kentucky, Scotland. Oh my gosh, yeah. It's great to see all of you guys coming in from so many different places.

So I don't want to waste too much time here, because we've got a lot to get through today. The horoscope is really the horoscopes will really be our feature.

But I want to introduce all of you, if you have never met some of our staff before. We're going to talk about the year one program, the programs that we have.

In general, we have three years of professional development curriculum in Hellenistic astrology, a year long course in horary. So that's four total years of curriculum.

We have yearly Master Class series. We have a monthly Moon circle. Nightlight is an astrology school, so you listen to my content every day.

But the other facet of my work as an astrologer is running a very busy school with a ton of students and awesome curriculum and a whole staff of wonderful people.

So I want to introduce you to some of them. I'm going to bring them all on. We're going to look like the Brady Bunch here. Hey guys all right, so Okay, so I'll just, I'll give you some introductions.

Ramundo is our horary course director. Sure And Meg is our year one and two course director. Mark and Susheela are co assistants for our year one and two programs.

Saffron is everything. Saffron is our year three course director, but she's also my daily Front of House, personal assistant, and manages enrollments and administrative duties for all of Nightlight activities.

You've probably spoken with saffron, if you've registered for any of our courses, or you've had issues logging in or something like that.

Erica is also a co course director with saffron for the year three program. Helps out there as a tutor in our groups and one of our staff readers, and just sort of like, uh, glue for a lot of the things at Nightlight.

She helps me out with monthly webinars. She pinch hits when people can't help out, or like a course director is sick or something, so Eric has all of these folks are amazing people, and also all readers through our affordable reading service.

There's a whole bunch of other staff who couldn't be here at this particular time today. But when you come and you study at Nightlight in like, for example, our upcoming program, you're going to be working with a whole group and community of people and tutors.

So I'm going to make sure that I tell you how you can book a reading through our affordable service with any of these wonderful people.

But I figured maybe what we could do is just go around and maybe each of you could just we have the year one program starting this Sunday, so it's your last week to register.

Maybe starting with Meg, since she's the course director for the year one program, just tell us what you like about the program, what features you think other people and students typically really love about the program, what you enjoy about teaching in it.

That I think it'd be really nice for people to hear from you, and we'll start there.

Yeah. Hi everyone. So my name is Meg, and I am phoning in from Boise, Idaho, USA.

So I guess so. So I am the course director for the year one program. But before I was the course director, I was a student in the year one program.

And I guess maybe it's a little easier, maybe, for me to come at this question from the perspective of student, Meg, and what I enjoyed so much about the program when I was in there as a student.

You know, I think one of the really, one of the really, really special things about this program is that it is such a solid it's such a solid astrological foundation.

So no matter what sort of or no matter what tradition or branch of astrology you are currently practicing, I think that the Nightlight program provides just a really, really solid foundation that you can then build on.

You know, like accent with your own, you know, additional beliefs, or, you know, ways that you like doing astrology. But just as far as getting a foundation, I think you really like Nightlight, really can't be beat.

And I had, I had been self studying sort of eclectically before I started at Nightlight, I had, you know, been studying some evolutionary astrology, some modern psychological astrology.

But I felt like I had gotten to a point with my studies, with myself studying where I just like there were just some big pieces that Were missing with putting it all together, and I couldn't figure out how to, I know, get everything to cohere.

And, you know, Nightlight came around at just the right time, and the program really provided me that, like that foundation, that cohering agent that I was missing when I was doing myself, studying for, you know, for many years prior.

So I think some other things about the Nightlight program that are really special are just the access that you have to like us. You know, there's like, a really, a really robust staff that is always there to help you, always there to listen to you, answer your questions.

And I think that, I mean, you know, not, not to toot my own horn or anything. I think Adam has such great taste in people, like the people that he brings on to the team, like the Nightlight staff is just full of like, just such generous like sweethearted, wonderful people.

And I think, like, Yeah, I think that's just, it's a really, really wonderful community. There's a lot of warmth and support here. So that's it. Yeah, those are, those are my those are my thoughts.

But I don't think if you're. Sort of curious about joining the year one program. I mean, I think it's like, I don't think you'll regret it, you know, it's one of those things like, I don't think it's, I don't think it's too risky.

It's a really, it was, it was pretty life changing for me in a really positive way. And I think a lot of other people experience that as well.

Thanks. Meg. On that note, maybe what I'll do is I'll ask Mark and Susheela to say a few things briefly here. I don't want to take up too much time, but I also really do appreciate other people being able to speak to the program.

And people getting a glimpse at what the program is on the level of community. Because sometimes you think I'm just going to be studying with this person and this personality, but Nightlight really is a communal learning experience.

So maybe Susheela, you're you've been through the programs. You're one of our new course assistants for year one and two, with Meg alongside of Mark. Anything you want to add to what you've enjoyed about working with students, working through the programs yourself.

Yeah, like, I think to jump off of what Meg said, the fact that Adam, you teach live every class is live. So there is this sense of immediacy on multiple levels, where in class, you get to ask Adam questions during the Q and A period.

But then afterwards, as well, you have access to Meg Mark and myself get through, like, a closed community, and also through study sessions. And then on top of that, you're able to connect with your classmates.

And so there's multiple ways that you can connect with other people to, like, kind of strengthen your learning and have that sense of being in community with everyone.

So I definitely think there's a way like that's kind of a differentiator with the Nightlight program. I would say, thank you. That's really nice mark. You want to add anything in?

Yeah, did you say briefly? Because I have a list of five things to watch for you go for it. I'm gonna go through it quickly. Yeah. So and Sushila kind of helped me out with the first one.

It's, this is a living, breathing class experience. So whether you're able to make it live or not, if you are, that's wonderful. But the the the teaching style is relevant.

I've even heard, I think a few weeks ago, Adam, you mentioned some, I forget exactly the context, but mentioned something about Jupiter and cancer and that, and related that to the lesson of that day.

So you get that kind of, this is happening now, and it's, it's, it's grounded in, in the present time, you know. So that's really nice.

Second you're stepping into a lineage. You'll have a you'll have a grounded understanding in where these, you know, where, where you find yourself in this living lineage of astrology, and that's a really special thing to me.

Third is this is a totally scalable and flexible learning structure. There is for people who are limited on time. Keeping up with the lectures is, is, is wonderful.

But if you are someone who really wants to go deep, there's plenty of bonus material and reading assignments that you can really immerse yourself in and just the rhythm and timing.

And one thing that's really nice is not having the whole class just dumped on you like you have to kind of sit with the concepts for it takes a while to go through each unit, and that time of kind of marinating in those concepts slowly and building a scaffolding is is really valuable.

Fourth understanding the why behind the symbols. So you'll kind of get a philosophical and cosmological foundation of understanding how the system of astrology is what it's how philosophical understanding informs the system of astrology and that allows you to unlock immense creativity within it.

And finally, you have a learning community. This isn't just, you know, a class, it's also a community. So there's student engagement.

We Susheela and I had a student group that we called afterglow, that we would host. And the idea behind afterglow is on the weekend it followed immediately after class, and so this was a space for students to it's kind of like an extension of the class, but a student environment like going to the cafe after.

Class and discussing things. And we did this every week, and then that doesn't, you know that schedule doesn't work for everyone, so like in the middle of the week, that's how Susheela would then host a version of that in the middle of the week.

So yeah, those are my five things to watch for an homage to you, Adam. So for anyone thinking, anyone that's enrolled, Hi, I'm happy to you know, so excited for this year with you, and for anyone that's thinking about enrolling, I hope this has given you something to think about.

Yeah, thank you, Mark. Really appreciate that. I want, I want to make sure we don't spend too much time before we get into our Uranus, into Gemini horoscopes and coverage today.

But this is really our last push for enrollment. So I'd like to, and I'd also like you to get everyone to get to know the rest of our staff.

So Erica, maybe I could ask you to just talk a little bit about what you love about Nightlight, what you love about the classes or being a part of the leadership of your three or just anything that comes to mind?

Yeah, can you hear me? Well, because I'm having some technical issues, awesome. I can't mute myself. I'm so I apologize, but I on top of what everyone else said, one of my favorite things is getting to watch you in action period.

I love watching you deep dive on with clients and just looking at all these how to enter a chart. And that's something that we do, obviously in year three, but you get that in year two and year one towards the end of the course.

And I just really appreciate that. I love that. I love the depth that we get into, yeah, I there's, I mean, obviously we can talk about it forever, but everyone already touched on it.

But just the, you know, all the the study sessions that we do, we get to go into different topics as well as whatever's on in the session.

But yeah, I can't say enough about any of the programs, including the horary. There's so much support, so much extra stuff that we get.

But definitely, if you're really wanting to see okay, well, how does a reading go? This is the place you'll get it in all three programs, and horary too.

Yeah, yeah, for sure, I'm gonna let ramundo go last with horary because it's a different class. It's also beginning this weekend.

So thank you, Erica. Erica brings so much to the year three program as one of our assistants, because she has a long background as a therapist, and so the year three counseling program, both with saffron and Erica's background in spiritual counseling and therapeutic settings, brings a lot to the discussion of counseling and the live client work that we do.

So yeah, if you, if you're if you're not familiar with the Nightlight programs, one of the hallmarks of our programs is that toward the end of each program, there's an incorporation of live client readings.

So you get to see what a day in the life of an astrologer's practice looks like, at least mine. And, you know, kind of learn from seeing it, which I think is important, because a lot of this stuff gets really conceptual.

And can it can be like, Well, how do you actually apply it? And when you see it and when you see it applied, sometimes it also really relieves the burden of having to do too much and seeing how simple and effective basic things can be.

But anyway, saffron, you have your hand in just about every different part of Nightlight, so it would be awesome to just hear you say a few things, anything that comes to mind.

I think she might be free. Think she might be frozen. Oh no, I think saffron got frozen. I'm going to see if she all right. There you are. Are you there? Saffron,

as always, just as I'm about to talk the internet dies. I've actually this. This is a fun Mars going into Virgo. I am currently sat in a pub because my internet died at home.

So I have in in the 10th house I've had to literally move my environment, and it's applying to my my moon, literally today. So here we are.

Anyway, I missed the question Adam. So what was the question?

Just anything you want to add, because you you really do have your hands in everything at Nightlight, as my daily front, front of the house, so to speak, and administrative assistant and manager of everything at Nightlight, plus your three directors.

So just anything you want to add to talk about these upcoming programs.

Okay, well, I'll talk a bit about the practicalities of it, then, for anybody, that's because I get a lot of questions asking, you know, main things are tuition assistance.

Can I still get it? Is there any, you know, there's, there's a lot of people who. Feel a little bit, maybe a little bit concerned that they are not going to be let into our classes.

And what I would say to you is, if you're a little bit concerned, just write to me. You'll get to speak to me. And I promise I don't buy I know I'm wearing red. I don't, you know.

So please come in if you're if you're concerned that you you won't get accepted. Just come and talk to us. You know, there's, it's very rare that we can't work out something with you.

So that's the first thing. And secondly, as you can see, you have a wonderful amount of staff here. We also have Anita in the year, one who looks after the me week, which I think is something that hasn't quite been mentioned as much.

There is, is a social media site called me. We that is set up for your class privately. So it will only be your cohort. And the guys that you can see here, they will support you.

But we also have Anita who will be supporting you in that group too. So you can ask questions about the course content, we generally ask you to keep it to the content that we're talking about.

We are a Hellenistic school, and so you can then come in after every class and the guys who will respond to you, and we do that in every one of our classes.

So each cohort for each class gets that support. And I think really, lastly, we have a if you have technical issues, which we know that not everybody's always, you know, technical stuff will be quite challenging for a lot of us.

Clearly, I'm having that today and you know, but we are here to support you. So if you feel that all you know, I can't quite understand what's going on with the tech?

You know, there's maybe a little bit of overwhelm. We do try to support that as best as we can, so come and talk to us, and you know, we really are a friendly bunch, and want to support you in your learning and get you to the point where you can maybe be either here on staff or possibly as a as a reader on the donation clinic.

That's, that's our, our goal is to support you all. So, yeah, that's, I think I've covered everything.

Yeah, it. I think our programs for those who have it in mind to be a professional astrologer, most of the people with those intentions will go through years, 123, often adding in horary.

Those programs are all designed to give you a really complete education over several years, as well as a lot of community support and features that for you know, people who are maybe on a spectrum of how serious or engaged they are with the idea of being a professional can have some really useful, you know, paths for developing the advice that you get in year three about business and counseling, the development of timing techniques and honing of prediction, the basic vocabulary of Hellenistic astrology.

Everything at Nightlight is always a kind of syncretic blend of modern archetypal psychological thinking, but it's craft based and Hellenistic.

So you're going to get a little bit of an infusion of some Indian philosophy from ancient Indian astrology that shares roots with the Hellenistic system.

But I think in addition to theoretically, practically being really hands on with live clients, it's the community dimension. It's getting to know all these people.

It's having lots of, like, I can't think of one cohort that doesn't have at least a few meetups with students outside of class. That is, are being self organized.

So it's a, I think it's a really strong program that also a lot of people take just for personal development. It's like, I want to become my own astrologer.

Thank you, saffron, so much. Raimondo, you're the horary course director Erin couldn't be here. I saw her in the audience a little earlier, but maybe just say something about horary what you love about that class, maybe why it's useful.

Hi everyone. This is Raimundo. I am the course, director of the horary course, and I am speaking from Portugal.

So the course, the horary course, I think for me, is first. Adam has explained many times in different videos that he shared on YouTube that horary is an excellent to an excellent tool to answer questions that are outcome oriented.

And so they are very good at answering things that you know sometimes, if we are trying to look at a bird chart, might not give us the clearest answer or straightforward answer to it.

And so horary is an amazing tool. In that sense, it definitely challenged my perspective about astrology as a divinatory art, because what horary is is casting a chart for the moment that the question was asked and then the answer lies in the chart.

So it's sort of like exercise of a detective work to sort. Out a case, for example. I think I really love that, that perspective of horary, what I got out of learning horary is that I it kind of made my techniques of looking at it at a birth chart, much better, because I can actually just focus on certain units of a birth chart and analyze that.

And I think that's one of the superpowers of someone who have learned horary. Now, this is a very fun course. It is a very practical course as well.

We are throughout the year. We are diving into many, many different practical charts. So this is very hands on approach to to horary astrology.

And me and Aaron, we are in the course to help you out with any questions if, if you have them. And yeah, it just blew my mind the time that I took it.

And I think it will blow yours as well. I just want to add one thing about about my experience as a year one student when I was abroad because I was living in Southeast Asia.

I just want to tell everyone that if you are worried about living in another in the other side of the world and not being able to attend the classes live, that's what happened to me.

I caught up with the classes through the recordings, which will be available right of class, and with all the class material that I got, apart from the recording and all the support that I got from from the MIRI group, it was a very fun experience.

And I got to meet a lot of other students that were actually from the from a similar time zone. So we, we got together and studied together.

So that's so that's not a reason I believe, in my experience, to not consider the courses of nighttime astrology.

Oh, thank you so much for Mundo, and thank you, all of you I want before I say, we say goodbye to our staff here and their help with promoting the program, the programs I should say, go to the Nightlight Astrology website.

Click on book a reading and go to need based astrology readings. This is a service that we have in place. Thanks to all of your support in the Kickstarter campaign, we have tiered readings with our staff and some talented alumni from our programs.

If you scroll down, you will see that on this page, you can book a reading with our course directors that's saffron. Megan ramundo, if you keep scrolling down, we have tutors.

These are people who are tutors for the programs that assist in our student discussion forums and Q and A forums, and that goes down a tier of pricing.

So then at the bottom, you'll see that we have student readers now. Mark and Susheela were recently alumni, and we had several of our or one of our course assistants leave to go on and do other things.

We're going to miss Marjorie. Those of you who got to know her, she's great, and so Mark and Susheela are stepping into the role above here in the season tutors realm, after serving a full year as student readers.

So anyway, we try to make sure that people at Nightlight who are talented and go through all three years can audition for spots as readers to gain more experience, just like we do with a co host role on the YouTube channel.

So the idea is to, you know, help build the success of new astrologers, or developing astrologers.

Anyway. The point of this is also to give people an affordable range of pricings for readings, while people who are building their astrology careers get really valuable experience reading charts for other people.

So you can book a reading here with saffron Meg ramundo. If you scroll down, you're going to find Erica, Anita Marjorie and Aaron.

If you go to the bottom, you're going to find mark and Susheela, who are here today with us, but also Emily Casey and Ryan, who aren't here with us, but they are also awesome readers.

So anyway, one of the great like visions of Nightlight is accessibility and building the success of other astrologers.

So I bring all these folks here today, not just to promote our programs, which of course, is a big part of this, but also to really promote them and their work and also the affordable reading service.

And note that all of our programs have affordable pricing. So when you go to the Nightlight website and you click on the Courses page, you're going to go to the first year course I'll show you right now, if you want to join us this weekend, it starts on Sunday the 22nd you scroll to the bottom and you will find the registration options, and on the right you'll see tuition assistance.

So. The need based tuition is also part of our mission of accessibility and building the success of other people from all different backgrounds, really, in a vision of hopefully, like socio economic inclusivity, so that the sacred topic is not just available for some people, but really for people who may have very little, means we want to make sure that no one's priced out.

So that's there for you. Please use it if it will help. If you can afford our normal prices, we just ask that you do that. We trust people to make that decision.

And thus far 15 years, and I've been doing this affordable pricing, and I really feel like very, very few times have we ever gotten taken advantage of from doing it?

So it's a it's really a philosophy of inclusivity and generosity in terms of the pricing model, which is also why, at the end of the year, we do a Kickstarter campaign and say, Look, if you like the channel, just pitch in and support it, and we try to give meaningful rewards for doing so.

So anyway, that's it. Thank you guys so much. I'm going to go on to do horoscopes. I really appreciate all of you being here and helping me, you know, promote these programs, and I hope that people will book readings with all of you.

So yeah, thank you guys. We'll see you later. Everyone.

Alright, alright, alright, okay, well, yeah, let me I'm going to switch my screens around so I have the right view that I need now to talk about Uranus in to Gemini.

Okay, and let me just Yep. Okay, good. So for those of you, I know some of you probably been sitting there very patiently waiting for the content of the day, and I do appreciate your patience.

Of course, this is how I earn my living, through the school and through the courses, and this is the main place through which I promote those courses in those programs.

So I really do appreciate you giving me time and space to show you the cool people and the cool features of the programs.

All right. Now let's turn our attention to the real time clock and let's take a look at the approaching entrance of Uranus into Gemini.

So here we are on the 17th. I'm going to move this forward a little bit into July, and we're going to move to July 7.

On July 7, you will notice that Uranus has now entered the sign of Gemini. This is our first ingress of Uranus into the new sign.

It spends about seven years per sign, and once it has entered Gemini, it would be sort of tidy if it could just stay there, but it's not going to do that.

So here's how this will work. So we see that Uranus will get to about the first degree of Gemini by early September, at which point it turns retrograde as Uranus.

Then actually, you know what I'm going to do. I'm going to let me remove everything but Uranus. So it just makes it a little bit easier on our eyes.

So here we go. Now. Uranus is turning retrograde in early September, and then is going to back into the sign of Taurus by early November.

Then it will spend some retrograde time in Taurus, it turns direct right around the beginning of February, 2026 so September to February, we're back in Taurus.

Or excuse me, let me back that up a little bit. September, it turns retrograde in Gemini and it enters Taurus in early November.

So from early November to early February, we have Uranus retrograde in the sign of Taurus, and then it goes in forward motion from February re entering Uranus, you're re entering Gemini, excuse me, in late April.

So you can see that between now and almost a year from now, we get a little taste of Uranus into Gemini, really, from July to September through direct motion, September through early November, it's retrograding in Gemini, then from November to early February, we're in retrograde motion in Taurus, and then comes up and re enters Gemini in late April, at which point then we're going to see Uranus in the sign of Gemini for quite some time.

If I just take this forward month at a time, you'll see. See how slowly it goes through the sign of Gemini. Takes about seven years for it to get completely through the sign.

Now here is the first entrance of Uranus into the sign of cancer. That takes place around August of 2032 so 2025 to 2032 from the first entrance to like the last entrance.

You can see that's the seven year range. It's a little bit more than that when you take into consideration the early retrograde of Uranus and cancer, pushing it back into Gemini, taking it into 2033 before it finally enters the sign of cancer to stay in May of 2033.

So you get, you know, about seven years total, though, for the transit. Now, what I find super interesting about any any outer planetary shift is, not only do we get a totally different feel from the planet given the filter of the sign.

In this case, Taurus, very unique filter. Gemini, totally different. So we get a new, almost like behavioral expression from the outer planet, Pluto into Aquarius, Saturn into Aries, Neptune into Aries.

We've had all of these outer planets changing signs this year, but also from the standpoint of transits through our birth chart, we get Uranus entering an entirely new whole sign house in our birth chart.

And that will bring up a totally new focus within the topics of our lives, every house is like a totally different archetypal domain of human activity here on earth that the planet Uranus, in its new sign, will now be activating or expressing in relation to.

So what I want to do today is talk first about what I think might be rather unique about Uranus in Gemini in general.

And then I want to take it through the whole sign horoscopes. Now I will also this is one of several horoscopes that we will do on the Fourth of July.

I just recently recorded an episode with my very eclectic Tarot friend named Toad, who did some card pulls for Uranus and Gemini horoscopes that'll be on the holiday July 4.

I'm going to be doing monthly overview horoscopes with Alex and Dana on Uranus into Gemini. Right? So you're going to get several different takes, and hopefully, between all of these takes, you're going to get enough different angles on the presence of Uranus in your birth chart that you know something will click, something will really feel applicable.

But I think it's always wise to get several different turns of the jewel. That's why I typically, with big events like this, we'll do multiple passes at horoscopes.

I thought it'd be fun to do them live today. So here we are. So let's start by just talking about Uranus in the sign of Gemini in general.

Here we have a double bodied Air sign that is of the nature of mercury. And it's a it's a masculine sign.

It's a sign that takes place at the culmination of the solar year, as it's seen from the symbolic standpoint of the northern hemisphere.

And it really is about bringing darkness back. It's the beginning of the return of darkness within the solar year, because Gemini takes us up to the peak, at which point the light immediately turns and starts sinking within the solar year, summer solstice is the peak, and then it starts dropping.

That turn is characteristic of both of Mercury's signs, Virgo being the other one at the end of which sign Mercury rules in Virgo, we hand over to the dark half of the solar year.

So we hand over to darkness, returning from Gemini to cancer, we hand over to darkness's Full takeover from Virgo to Libra.

That's not a mistake in terms of how the rulerships were assigned in the zodiac. That's intentional. The reason for this is that Hermes is someone who is fundamentally related to the constant interplay of light and dark, especially deconstruction or impermanence or chaos, or when things fall apart or go from certainty to uncertainty, faith to doubt, kind of a sense of knowing something to maybe being questioning something.

The proud return of light is ushered in through Jupiter's rulerships in the sign of Sagittarius and Pisces, where we shift from the.

Darkest point of the year to the return of light, and then from the end of winter into the light half of the year.

In those two Jupiter ruled signs. And Jupiter being a natural opposite of mercury in the ancient philosophical paradigm of Hellenistic astrology, is an opposite, because Jupiter tends toward coherence and faith and a sense of clarity and wisdom and unity.

Mercury is the divine opposite of that which is about deconstruction, impermanence, death, things falling apart, lack of certainty, questioning, doubt, skepticism, analysis, breaking things apart.

When we have Uranus, therefore a God of revolution, emancipation, a God of originality and breaking from conventions, norms, habits, traditions, a planet that loves the sense of like, what is the next best possible thing, along a line of progress toward the ideal realm of the gods, or of the kind of archetypal ideal of something.

All of the outer planets, well, especially Uranus and Neptune, really point us toward an image or an idea of how much better something could be.

Often, both planets are sort of idealistic in this sense, Uranus has a sense of what is innovative, original, and is like, for example, is associated with Prometheus, who steals the fire from the gods.

That sense of the divine knowledge that is out of our grasp somehow, take that planet, put it into this sign of of Hermes mercury, and we get a combination present in the 1940s for example, when great existentialist thinkers were a hallmark of that.

Uranus in Gemini, seven year period, Albert Camus, Franz, Kafka, Sartre, being in nothingness. The Stranger these existentialist pieces, one of the great things that they did, in a sense, is they called into question the sort of simple, uh, maybe overly simple, cultural narrative of redemption faith that that Christianity in the West had such a it had such a strong grasp of the collective imagination.

Existentialism is one of the very notable historical forces in intellectual and academic circles and art and culture that sort of pushes back and says, but what do we know, really?

But what if there isn't an underlying substance or a redemptive narrative, or some overarching sense of cosmic meaning or purpose. What if none of that is there? Now, on the one hand, that might seem like a buzz kill, but on the mod on another hand, that very kind of revolutionary shift on the level of mind in culture is sort its sacred part of most religious and spiritual traditions. If you look carefully, from Taoism to Buddhism to yoga philosophy calling things into question like Socrates or even Plato and Aristotle, who came down the line from Socrates, there is a sacred place for questioning, for uncertainty, for mystery, for doubt, for almost like a sense of pulling out the essentialist rug and being like, well, what if there's nothing? And that sacred nothing is actually, ironically kind of a something in, you know, in a way, but that process of sacred doubt and questioning is probably going to be a hallmark of the Uranus in Gemini experience surrealist art and kind of the pulling again, pulling out the underlying, you know, just taken for granted assumptions of faith, redemption, meaning, purpose. This is something that Uranus and Gemini can do for us. And rather than seeing it maybe as an end unto itself, which may be kind of extreme, seeing the sacredness of questioning and skepticism and doubt as a revolutionary impulse in some area of our life is one way that I've been looking at this upcoming transit another way of thinking about Uranus in the sign of Gemini is in terms of understanding things, technological things, airy things. The element of air is so conceptual and so related to things like currency and technology and ideas and communication, especially in the sign of Hermes Mercury here, double bodied Air sign, like the way that we communicate, the way that we speak, the way that we use technology, the way that we interact with the world through all different kinds of communicative mediums, can go through quite a shift. I also think that. That development in terms of our understanding of the mind and of the human nervous system. One of the things was really interesting in the 1940s is that the clinical field of psychology was becoming recognized as a sort of valid academic, intellectual and scientific field. And what is that? Well, on one level, it's the study of human behavior and of emotion and of, you know, behavioral patterns and and pathology. And also, like, for example, during the 1940s while Uranus was in Gemini, we had huge advancements in our understanding of post traumatic stress in war, veterans who are coming back from from war. I remember when I was a kid, my the phrase My grandfather used, which is not really appropriate, was shell shocked, but what we were really doing during the 40s was starting to understand something of post traumatic stress, and some of the first thoughts about how to deal with that very brutal reality, how do we deal with trauma? How do we deal with the nervous system? The interesting parallel between an Air sign and a water sign is that in ancient elemental theory, air and water were thought of in a way, as opposites, obviously masculine and feminine elemental qualities, but also because in the sky, air was thought of as water and potential, because, you know, occasionally what happens is that water condenses and bursts from the sky to Earth. So water and earth, air is thought of sort of as like invisible water in the sky. But what that means is that there's this fundamental connection between emotional, instinctual, embodied, physical intelligence and rational, conceptual, abstract forms of intelligence that they're always moving in and out of each other. Our thoughts affect our moods, and our moods affect our thoughts. That is a very big I mean, all of us probably know that, but you'd be surprised. I think all of us will be when Uranus moves through Gemini, and there may be tremendous leaps in our understanding of things like the relationship between the neurological matrix in our guts and our brains, or the relationship between things like behavior pathology, addiction and food in, like ultra processed food, for example, that really on some levels. I just read this really interesting book about ultra, ultra processed foods and addiction, and the author was basically comparing super ultra processed foods and the addictive components put being put in those foods to the campaign that cigarette manufacturers, the campaigns that they had to promote cigarettes. And until a certain period of time, that was very normal, and then all of a sudden, it's being called out that actually there's all these addictive components that are creating disease and death because of smoking cigarettes. Well, we know that so much more now today, because advancement of an understanding between things that are technological or technological, sort of scientific and biological and also behavioral, have been linked up in understanding what you know. And I don't mean any offense to anyone who smokes or whatever you eat, or I'm not here to judge anyone, just things like that. Where the connection between what we're understanding mentally and how it is a part of our embodied human life will probably come in contact with each other. So while there may be rapid advancements in technology, while Uranus is in Gemini, the question will be, what's the connection between what we're discovering, what kind of technology we're using, how expedient it is, and how does it affect us? How can we use these things to be in touch with our humanness, or are they alienating us from our humanness? That air water dichotomy is built into a transit like Uranus in an Air sign. Uranus is also in this sign a great like I've said this for a while, and I mean, obviously I say this to promote the programs, but for things like astrology, I think this is a fantastic transit. The Uranus, in a sign of Hermes, will often open our minds a little bit more to non ordinary ways of understanding things like a non ordinary or relatively more epistemic, mystical epistemology. And epistemology means like, how do you know that something is true? Well, Uranus in Gemini is much more open minded to different ways of knowing or conveying truth. It's very fluid and flexible in how it relates or perceives things. Much more willing to consider things that you know, for example, I think Uranus in Taurus might is a little bit more like practical in an earth sign, Air sign, like Gemini, very open to saying things like, like. There may be some way of understanding a patterned language, like astrology, and a way of seeing the world through a system of recurring patterns in nature. That is, it's it's like better appreciated, because people are starting to see ways in which that kind of patterned way of knowing and relating to things has some truth power in it that maybe people take the time to try to understand more, because this is just a sign that's more open minded. So I think Uranus in Gemini, especially trining Pluto in Aquarius, could be very useful when it comes to things like the studies of consciousness, studies of meditation, studies of, you know, the mind body connection, studies of things that we would all describe as maybe synchronistic, but actually, hey, look, we're validating this different way of knowing or experiencing things. So I really, I love this transit I gave, I gave a talk on Uranus into Gemini a little while ago, this Thursday night, I'm giving a talk called Uranus in Gemini, trine Pluto in Aquarius when new objects appear in the sky. And I'll be deepening this conversation with respect to the trine between these two plans. I'm gonna make five trines to one another, if I remember correctly, over the next couple of years. And I also think it's almost impossible to really talk about Uranus in Gemini right now without looking at that Trine, because it's such a huge part of it. But to me, that Trine also speaks to

rapid advances, in terms of rapidly advancing ideas that different groups believe are the ideas by means of which we go into a future or toward a future. The problem is, of course, Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries, Saturn in Aries, you know, Uranus and Gemini. It's unlikely that everyone's going to have the same ideas about what the best future looks like. We're going to have some who for whom, the best future looks like, you know, to another group of people, dictatorial, authoritarian, tyrannical, and like heavy handed. And we're going to have other groups that resist that kind of overarching control. And is probably more, I don't know what the right word is like, collective or sort of democratic in an ideal sense, those things are. It's not going to be surprising to see those things because, you know, Pluto, American and French Revolutions. Last time it was, you know, it was in Aquarius, civil war with Neptune in Aries, Uranus and Gemini was coming about during the last, you know, kind of the last years of World War Two. The rapid development of ideas with Uranus and Gemini coincide with the Manhattan Project in the 40s, right? But also some really brilliant advancements in terms of, like, how we educate children, childhood development, understanding of the brain, understanding of psychology, but also the development of weapons, like it's it's a kind of a wild time that we're in right now where I think the the line could be very blurry and difficult to see The difference between a constructive or destructive use of ideas and technologies especially. But anyway, more on that on my webinar this Thursday night. It's on the live events or it's on the in person, no Live Events tab under the Events page on the website. So anyhow, I Hmm. Now what? What else to say about Uranus in Gemini? Wherever Uranus goes in our birth charts, I think there is typically the desire to break free from conventional habits, expectations, behaviors, norms, traditions. Uranus really says, I want something new. I want something different. Sometimes it doesn't as a kind of revolutionary idealist. It doesn't always have the patience to progress in a way that's very earthy, which is often two steps forward, three steps forward, one step back. The path to liberation is often gradual and incremental. The development of greater freedom innovation, changes in paradigm or thought are often piece by piece, because even I'm amazed at how I remember running a yoga studio, you know, with my wife for 10 years, holding retreats for people. People would have amazingly positive experiences, breakthrough experiences, which you would think they'd be ready to go home from and just hit the ground running, but no coming home. They would sometimes need rest. And downtime to, like, kind of integrate and cool down a little bit before re entering their normal lives after a kind of peak experience. Uranus doesn't always have the patience for that. And so one thing to be aware of in these horoscopes is the potential for breakthrough tempered by the expectations of time and incremental development, and also the bursts of enthusiasm followed by the real limitations that the world often pushes back with in this mortal framework that we're in. So kind of keep those things in mind. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to take a look at all 12 whole sign horoscopes and give you some things to think about. And like I said, this will be one of a few of the passes at the horoscopes that we do. So let's put the chart up on the screen. Now, one of the things that I'm going to do is I'm going to mention something of the Indian philosophical roots of the house, in addition to the Hellenistic meanings of the house, because this is something that I've been teaching in my master class this year. If you've been in my Master Class series, you know we're looking at the underlying Indian philosophical meanings of the houses. So I'm going to be including a little bit of that as we go, because I think it's going to be really it's going to be really good context. But let and I know I'm going to have to take a bathroom break at some point, but I'm not there yet, just letting you know. Okay, so if you're in Aries rising and you can listen to this for your son or your rising sign, I always recommend the rising because whole horoscopes are done in whole sign, which means the whole sign house version of your birth chart, which is what Hellenistic astrology utilizes, will give you the accurate transiting house location in your natal chart. You can always listen for your sun sign in a more just divinatory way. That's fine as well. So with Aries Sun arising, uh, Uranus is going to spend these seven years in your third house. Now this is a comma house in Indian astrology that speaks to our desires, and especially those desires that require concerted effort to realize, whether that's skill development, the acquisition of things that you want but that require you work and practice and exert effort to achieve. I think it's a really fascinating take on the third house, which is also in Hellenistic astrology, related to siblings and peers, and is often cited as somewhat problematic because of the somewhat competitive or difficult quality that can exist between siblings and peers. The reason for this in Indian astrology is that this house is one in which we're trying to cultivate and develop things that we we don't necessarily have, but but wish to have. And so the comma nature. Comma means like desire and happiness. The nature of this house is to through effort, through work, through practice, to cultivate qualities, elements of personality, skills that we feel will make us happy. If you say to yourself, gosh, I'm a lousy musician, but I'd really like to be a musician. This is a house where you'll develop skills if you practice, if you exert effort, the other again, like kind of traditional, Hellenistic meaning siblings, the local sphere of activities and environment, kind of like the village around you and how you express yourself or stand out as an individual within that local sphere. It's kind of like the culture that you're raised in, the community, the village, the neighborhood with Uranus entering this house for Aries. The thing that comes to my mind immediately is the need to stand out, the need to develop new skills that are maybe are very provocative, new ideas, new forms of learning, new languages, new forms of communication that represent a real departure from the norm and could ruffle the feathers of people in your environment or your peers, or even siblings. Revolution around siblings in general could happen karmically with Uranus in this house, but also just the question of, What am I here to cultivate, develop that right now is constituting a kind of mental intellectual revolution, and it's rooted in new things that I'm desiring, new things that I'm thinking, new things that I want to bring forth through effort and learning. So these are things to think about for Aries gonna move forward to Taurus next the Taurus risings. That's, I'm, I'm one of the Taurus risings out there. So this has been fun for me to think about. I. Now Uranus will be in Gemini, in your second house for about seven years. This house is an arta house, and arta is related to the material pursuit of security on a level beyond security, perhaps comfort and enjoyment through material acquisitions. So this is, you know, a house that was associated with food and with clothing and with very basic material resources, but in a broader sense, it was also related to all of the different kinds of people who act as supporters, including family at times in Indian astrology,

also things like income and expenditures, bills, material, self sufficiency, all found in this house. Uranus in this house could disrupt the way in which you make money, or could bring new new ideas or technologies into the workplace. It can revolutionize your relationship to money and finances. It can be about significant breakthroughs with respect to things like diet or your material values. It can also bring a kind of greater emancipation or liberation around material resources. I don't want as much, I don't need as much, or the way I'm valuing things is shifting my priorities, financially, economically, materially. I could also see a lot of very because obviously this is going to trine Pluto up in the 10th I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of innovation and shifting and changing around both material resources and career. So lot a lot of innovation for Tauruses in relationship to the material sphere, things like income and expenditure, resources, money business. I also really, again, wouldn't be surprised to see a real revolution in terms of how you place value on things and on resources, and how your relationship with those resources shifts dramatically. Let's move on to Geminis. When we look at the Gemini rising chart, it's like, I don't know what sign is going to be more personally impacted than Geminis, if you're Gemini rising, and if you're maybe, if you're listening to this for your sun sign, having this in your first house after as a Taurus rising, we just went through it for seven years. It's all about personal liberation. It's all about shifting and reconfiguring your sense of identity, maybe even your body. As Uranus, went through Taurus in my first house, I got involved in bhakti yoga. I changed my name to achuta bhava, changed it back to Adam, got into bodybuilding. Completely transformed my physique and my health. Changed my diet, changed my relationship to food, changed my relationship to the material world really had to dig into. Like, who am I really like? What do I so that like, I can't say enough about how revolutionary on the level of personhood, identity, health, body that Uranus transit through Taurus was for me and my ascendant. And I've seen that over the years. For when Uranus was in Aries for seven years, my Aries rising folk, very similar the theme of individuation, of radically shifting and like trying on new costumes, it's okay to experiment, to explore, to think outside of the box, to break your own conventions and then go back to them and then break them again. The I think some of the key words here are freedom. Greater freedom, greater exploration, playing with things that maybe you haven't yet. Now I don't see Gemini risings as particularly lacking compared to, say, Taurus risings like myself, in experimentation, like I feel like Taurus risings are far more like creatures of habit, but nonetheless, even for Geminis, this will ask you to stretch outside of yourself. For some Geminis that may actually look like something more stable or more consistent or more habitual, or embracing routines or patterns that are more fixed. And I only say that because Uranus will bring whatever the polar opposite is that you can imagine it will bring, you know, like as a Taurus rising I did all of these things that were so destabilizing that's contrary to the nature of Taurus, well, contrary to the nature of Gemini, might be things that have more staying power, more commitment, because we're just dealing with opposites here. But any way you look at it, that theme of individuation so important, the exploration of health, mental health, emotional health, the connection between mind and body, very powerful here. Okay, so those are a few, just a few words there. For Uranus in your first house. For Geminis, let's go to cancer rising next, where Gemini is in your 12th house. So this 12th house location is often thought of as a blind spot in ancient astrology, because the sign in the 12th does not see the sign in the first by means of an acid. Back. And so signs that flank one another kind of don't see each other. And so, especially for the sign in the 12th, this will often represent a blind spot, an unconscious spot, things or people that can sort of sneak in as hidden or secret undermining influences or enemies, but also anything that you need to tap into that maybe is an unintegrated or unrecognized, misunderstood part of yourself, or even a part of yourself that you lack confidence in. So there can be many different ways of looking at the 12th. Also, it's a place that reflects losing control. The first very much in control. The 12th, it reflects loss of control. So ego loss associated with something like a mystical vision also very 12th house. But the hallmark of that kind of mystical experience in the 12th is something like the dissolution of control that the ego lives with on a day to day basis, which is often very difficult, even if enlightening. So for cancers over the next seven years, here's what I would look for, the connection as an instinctual being, often living through the waters the emotional body, so so much emotional, sensitive, empathic, intelligence. For cancers, the mental part, the rational part, maybe a little bit more in a blind spot. Everyone has different charts. Some people are going to be rich with Air sign. Going to be rich with air signs who are cancer rising. So this doesn't always apply, but getting into the rational, the mental, the logical side of things that maybe you know is almost like offensive to the very human connective tissue of cancer, to be more abstract, to be more detached, to be more logical, but there may be room for that, because you may undermine yourself to the extent that you're not able to sort of detach from emotional connections or attachments, to be a little bit more rational and maybe a little bit more logical about how to handle something, so that 12th house Uranus in Gemini can bring this wave of breakthroughs on the level of being able to incorporate a better balance between, say, emotions and thoughts or logic and instinct, something like that. I would also say that the extent to which there's kind of like a chaos magic with Uranus in Gemini and what role do? Does do chaotic events bring into your life over the next seven years, I remember when Uranus was in Aries in my 12th house. So many of the most important moments of that 12th house Uranus transit, for me, were about things. It was just like things went totally off script, and the times when things were off script the most and I lost control the most were also the most valuable for the development of my spirituality, my personal growth. I can reflect on that now it's easy, but while I was in it, you know, maybe it's harder to access that perspective. This is why I would encourage all of you cancers out there over the next seven years? Is everything going to be like, wildly chaotic and coming apart at the seams? No, I but there will be moments where there's a kind of divine chaos magic that's destabilizing and unexpected things happen, but they're they're really very promising in the way that they can liberate various facets of your psyche to experience more of the totality of who you are. The other thing about Uranus in the 12th will be breaking free from unhealthy attachments. This is a Moksha house in Indian astrology and so the like for Geminis. We're talking about Dharma in the first house. We're talking about identity in the 12th house. We're talking about moksha, which is the relinquishment of attachments, even those attachments to our identity, that form in this lifetime, we're all going to die someday and have to let go of this particular vehicle and ego, and the journey will continue, if you believe in that kind of thing. And so relinquishing attachments to various aspects of ourselves that maybe have been hallmarks of our life and core pieces of what we've considered our identity to be. But there will be things that happen that invite us to let go at a deeper level, relinquish attachments so and some of those things make us feel like the universe is conspiring against us. The 12th house can feel a little heavy that way, but with time and perspective, I rarely see people that end up feeling that way as they continue to process the experiences, even if they're a little like unexpected or destabilizing for a period of time.

Now let's move on to Leo's. So for Leo's, we have Uranus in the 12th or the 11th house. Excuse me, this is the place that is. It's a comma house in Indian astrology, which means it's associated with desire, pleasure and happiness. In Hellenistic astrology, it is called the House of aspirations, hopes, wishes and dreams for the future, as well as the realization and enjoyment. Of those dreams and hopes and ambitions as they kind of come true. I feel like the 11th house is sort of the When you wish upon a star. You know that song. It's like the When you wish upon a star house. This house is also broadly associated with allies, friends, benefactors, groups of people, but only in so far. This is very important, because in modern astrology, this house gets conflated with Aquarius, which is not accurate. In ancient astrology, this house is associated with groups, friends, allies, insofar as those people facilitate the realization of dreams, hopes, wishes, aspirations and the enjoyment of achieving those things. So when Uranus enters this house for Leo's, it can radically shift the nature of what you're dreaming, hoping, wishing and aspiring for. Suddenly, very new, very different kinds of things will be appealing to you, new hopes, new wishes, new visions for the future will appear, and they will probably break from your normal way of thinking, they'll break from your normal sort of paradigms, that there will be entirely new constructs that breathe new life into what you want the future to look like. That will also likely connect you to different people, different communities, different allies, different friends, that can be a part of the facilitation of those dreams and wishes for the future. So I think there's a communal dynamic to the shift that Uranus presents for Leo's. I think there's also a very important way in which the whole landscape of your desires, beliefs and aspirations will just completely change. When I reflect on Uranus time in my 11th house, I was in graduate school and in grad I sort of entered while Uranus was in graduate school. And as it went into that 11th house, I gradually shifted the dreams and aspirations that I had from working in academia as an English teacher to meeting everyone that was a part of the reality sandwich community, this huge, sort of psychedelic publishing online platform, and I got involved with that. I left the I left the track I was on to become a teacher, moved to New York City, became a social worker who was really plugged into reality sandwich, ended up getting a book published, getting into astrology. The whole trajectory of my aspirations what looked like a fulfilling future to me, like completely shifted as I got involved in a totally psychedelic community that was Uranus in Pisces in my 11th house, right? Kind of funny to track these things, but watch for that whole landscape to shift. For you Leos out there, all right. For Virgos, we take this into the 10th house, an art to house connected, broadly speaking, to things like material security. Do I have the belongings and resources and material things that I need to not only feel secure and safe, but then up a tier above that, to enjoy, to feel like my life materially is enhanced? This is a very civic and social arena in which that pursuit of material security and pleasure is taking place. It has to do with things like mastery, rank, notoriety, position, vocation, the role you play and how you're known and seen in the world, that can contribute to long term financial and material stability and success. That's broadly how the 10th house is looked at in both the East and the West. Now there's also just a dimension of this house that has to do with the gradual formation of those things when you're younger, or the ongoing civic social arena after you're retired. Either way, Uranus, moving into this house frequently brings rapid bursts of achievement, advancement, development in terms of your skills, your abilities and your vocation itself, it often produces radically new ambitions with respect to vocation, like I want to be an astrologer. I can't tell you how common that is with Uranus entering the 10th. I've seen that more times than I can count, Uranus entering the 10th will often convey a sense of needing to flip the script. You got to change what you're doing for a living. You need to completely rewrite the trajectory of your professional path. There is often a sense of, how do I want to be seen and known? What is my what is the way that I'm seen and known in the world? And Uranus will create a new paradigm and new ideals. The hard part is that, like I was saying earlier, this is often very gradual, very incremental. It's a art to houses, don't I mean, sometimes they'll flash with, like, instant explosions of success, but it's really a house that it's like, you know, it's like building a house from the ground up. Uranus will provide a lot of sparks, a lot of sudden bursts, a lot of vision. But the process over seven years, you have to be patient to work through. Because it might be that you want to be an astrologer at zero degrees Gemini, it might not be until 2728 that you're fully realizing the fruits of that process. So I always tell people with Uranus in the 10th like, be very patient for the revolution and the impulse of change that it brings to play out and be built. But nonetheless. A radical shift in probably how you show up in the world, how people are seeing you, what you're doing for a living, or how you're doing it. Even these are all things I think to watch for, for Virgos. I also think that's really exciting for Virgos, because as a double bodied sign, ruled by Mercury, so is your 10th house. There could also be almost like a multiplicity of options in front of you. Maybe the most difficult thing is choosing. You know, I can't have 10 irons in the fire. I can only have three. What are those three things I'm going to focus on? Maybe it's an embarrassment of riches in the sense that there's a lot of options for you right now. Sometimes for Mercury ruled folks, it's hard to settle in. All right, we go on to Libra. Libra places Uranus into Gemini in the ninth house. This is the place of higher education. It is a Dharma house in Indian astrology, which means it's related to the ongoing understanding of our essence, of our the purpose for which we were born spiritually, but this house has to do with understanding Dharma on the universal level. Dharma means something like that which outwit, without which this thing wouldn't be this thing, fire. I've said this before on the channel. Fire wouldn't be fire without being heat and light. That's an example you hear in Indian philosophy all the time to explain the dharma of something.

The Dharma in the ninth house is the dharma of reality itself. It's the study of the Vedas. It's the study of philosophy. It's the study of metaphysics. It's the study of astrology. It's about trying to understand those qualities or attributes of divinity or reality itself, without which it wouldn't be real, without which it wouldn't be divine. That process is taking place in the ninth house, whether you're doing it overtly, in a spiritual direction or not. You could be a physicist studying physics. You're getting maybe just a little sliver of the truth that's incomplete without what we might say a spiritual understanding, for those of us that are inclined that way, right? But still, any kind of pursuit of truth and wisdom and understanding in the ninth house is sort of seen in Indian astrology as gradually contributing to your understanding of divinity and therefore your understanding of yourself, your true self, because you are a small aspect of that whole part of it, you know, so this house is also associated with things like teachers and gurus and travel abroad and pilgrimage, anything that kind of expands our horizons and contributes to a larger, broader understanding of things. For Libras, you got seven years of a real revolution of your beliefs, your outlook, your philosophy, amazing learning experience. Uranus will open your mind. Uranus will advance your understanding. Uranus will bring really interesting and different, eclectic teachers into your life. Uranus may take you to a different country. It may bring you in contact with traditions that are completely different. So when I was a kid, I traced back the development of Uranus into it was my ninth house as Capricorn. And you know what? I traced it back to when I was a kid, my father developed a very close friendship with a Native American man who was in our community, and he went to our church, but he was also very deeply steeped in the traditions of his ancestors, and he and my dad ended up facilitating community education for The kids in my school district out to his land, where he built tepees, and showed us, like, all different kinds of different traditional like, recipes that were made in the tepees, and taught us some of the stories of his people and, like, it was amazing. So that happened as Uranus was ingressing into my ninth house in an earth sign I had this, there was this Christian white kid growing up in rural Minnesota, and all of a sudden, you know, I had an Indigenous teacher exposing me to things that were also, thanks to my dad's open mindedness, really not being set as something that was contrary to the Christian environment that I was in, like these can coexist. Wow, what a break. I mean, that was like, really revolutionary as a little kid that tracked with Uranus going into my ninth house, I feel like Uranus in the ninth house really wants to open our minds and make more truth available to us, not less, although you do have to be careful, because the shadow of Uranus is idealism. And so in the ninth house, Uranus can become a little fanatical or rigid or impatient with the pace or flow in which that knowledge is coming in like it all has. It's like you're drinking from the fire hydrant, and you can become kind of evangelical and a little manic about the things that you're getting in touch with and excited about. Okay, so let's. To go on. So Scorpios Uranus, coming into your eighth house. Now this is a Moksha house as well. One of the primary reasons that this is a Moksha house is it has to do with karmic contracts that will be settled in this lifetime, and the settling of karmic contracts that we have with other Souls is about the relinquishment of those bonds or attachments and their dissolution, which is why they can be very beneficial. When someone dies, there's an inheritance when you when, when someone passes away, there's often a tremendous gift that's given in death, to the extent that most traditions all around our planet, indigenous or, you know, like long standing institutional religions, have a way of talking about the gifts that are received when a soul passes that it's thought of as, almost like a charity that's distributed through the death of a person to beings around them that still have to go on living. I mean, I know that that for some people, that's not at all the experience of death, right? But I think for many of us, we do experience on a certain level, at a certain point in time, the sense that we've been gifted something when someone else passes that we're close to, maybe especially with Uranus in the eighth house we're talking about over seven years, hopefully no one literally dies. But when attachments are relinquished, Uranus loves to break up attachments. It's a great it's a planet of great emancipation, and all the more so when it's in the eighth house that those soul contracts that were relinquishing, contracts and exchanges karmically, that are ending will deliver really beautiful, beneficial blessings to our lives. The difficult part is the disruption of those bonds and the potential breakup of those bonds. Now, another way of looking at Uranus in the eight that's not as disruptive is what kinds of new karmic contracts, exchanges of value, of energy, of emotion, of money or whatever else are being formed that facilitate greater freedom or liberation. For example, I've seen Uranus in when in Taurus, in the eighth house, for a number of my clients over the past seven years, bring tremendous freedom because of grants they received, or loans they received, or a partner that they coupled with that had more resources that liberated some of the more difficult, stuck parts of their material existence, right? So, Uranus can facilitate greater freedom through new connections. It's not just about the relinquishment of attachments, although, like you know, zooming out 20,000 feet, all of these attachments will eventually be relinquished. And so there's also a built in warning about any new attachments we form. If we form new beneficial or advantageous attachments that bring new resources into our life, are we? Are we living also with an awareness that these connections should not also keep us from the ongoing work of our our existence, right? So, for example, when a partner comes into our lives and suddenly we feel supported because of their emotional presence, that doesn't mean we don't still work on learning to support ourselves being capable of doing so while also having someone to lean on, that's that's a that's a good exchange. We want those healthy exchanges in the eighth house, not ones that facilitate something, but there's like a an eventual bill that will come due to very thoughtful about that. In the eighth house, there's also just an exploration of some of the deepest attachments and new ways of thinking that can help us relinquish those attachments and experience greater freedom. So Scorpios, that's your eighth house scenario. And I do think that there's as much creative potential here as there is, you know, disruption. All right, so for Sagittarians, we see Uranus coming into the seventh house, which is a place of comma so desire, happiness, most notably in the seventh house through intimacy, sex, marriage and relationships. This was the original house of sex, along with the fifth and not the eighth. But more on that, another time the seventh house, Uranus transit for Sagittarians, is really interesting, because this is going to,

on the one hand, provide you with a totally new template for what happiness looks like in relationship through experimentation, originality, breaking patterns, getting out of old karmic scenarios, and really freeing up energy to experience love, intimacy, sex, relationships, interpersonal dynamics in brand new ways. So it can really revolutionize the landscape of relationships in a positive way. On the other hand, in order for greater freedom to be experienced, Uranus in the seventh house will sometimes have to bring disruption. It will break some relationship. Up, it will free stuck energy in relationships, and if you're holding on or attached to something, even though it's not really great for you, Uranus can be very disruptive in this house, where things happen very suddenly and quickly and suddenly there's a breakup you weren't expecting in time. Usually, though, with these kinds of breakups, you're going to see that the overall impact for your life was for the better. Uranus really is an emancipator in that way, also non conventional, non traditional relationships. Maybe this is the time to allow yourself to explore your sexuality, your gender, your identity, all of those things. I didn't even mention this in the Uranus and Gemini portion, but like in the 1940s the Kinsey report came out and was totally revolutionary in terms of our understanding, at the very outset, at the understanding of same sex contacts between men, which really, in a sense, was the first sort of intellectual study to bring things out of the closet. It was like, No, there's way more same sex activity among men than was previously thought. And then there was a lot of other things that came through that report that would lay the groundwork for greater gender, sex fluidity and open mindedness, but that Uranus and Gemini in the seventh can also just open up new possibilities for what things like gender, sex and relationships look like, you know, however literal or metaphorical, we want to be with it. So watch for that revolutionary impulse entering the house of relationships. For sagis, all right, for Capricorns, we're looking at Uranus in the sixth house. This is an arta house. The interesting difference between the third and the sixth house both require effort, practice and work in order to cultivate something. The difference is that in the third house, we're typically cultivating and working on something, from the Indian standpoint, because we desire to, it's like, I want to become a great astrologer, so I'm going to study and practice it. It's very third house learning the sixth house is more like I have to do something because it's necessary. And usually there's more of a theme or tone of I don't necessarily want to do this. There's it's not like sometimes the line is rather blurry between the third and the sixth and Indian astrology, in my opinion. But quite frequently you see that the sixth is more associated with the work and related to material circumstances, bills, survival, security, some degree of material acquisition, and it's about the necessary sort of hard stuff you have to do for those things, or the circumstances that arise on the material plane that can create a feeling of a lack of safety, like sickness, for example, or enslavement, or jobs you don't want to Do, or jobs that pay too little, or work that is just kind of painful, like laborious. So that sixth house, Uranus, I think, is fascinating, because for Capricorns, this may start facilitating a conversation for you about what kind of work you really can't do anymore. Uranus, in the sixth can bring a revolution in terms of what is worth, the work, the effort, the sacrifice, you know, and Uranus in the six can bring a revolution in terms of, you know what. I'm not going to be a slave to X, Y or Z anymore. I'm not going to be bound and obligated by things that bring me no joy, that I have no authentic desire to achieve or to do. On the other hand, Uranus in the sticks can revolutionize your life in terms of saying, look, there are some things. There's like a new paradigm, a new desire, a new design. It's going to involve things I don't want to do. But and think of the trine to Pluto in your second house, if I chip away at this thing over a long enough period of time, I may completely rewrite my material circumstances. I may change my health for the better. I may produce results that I want, and the freedom will be there, but only if I sort of make this sacrifice so almost like a hurdle that you have to jump, but a vision of what could be if you jump that hurdle with Uranus in the sixth I also just love this for changing the daily way in which you work. Is there an easier way? Is there a more efficient way, or the way that you deal and manage with, you know, the sort of stress and time under stress that your body, your mind. Has to deal with, how can I make the tasks of my day that I don't necessarily enjoy easier or lighter through innovation? So these are some of the things that come to my mind. For caps, with Uranus in the sixth with Aquarius. We're looking at Uranus in the fifth house, another Dharma house. This one's really interesting, because there's a lot that the fifth shares in in common with the third, in terms of the development of skills and abilities, although what's interesting is that in the fifth, in Indian astrology, there's more of a sense of these skills and abilities sort of already being there in the soul, like. Creative attributes that the soul comes in with, that we have to tap into creatively with regularity to experience the joy of our true nature. So there's some development of skill ability, but the development is more like things that we are already sort of naturally in touch with, that just have to be brought out, expressed creatively, and like as in the third, for example, there's less of a sense of like, oh, I come in with this. No, I have to cultivate it through work. But I'm really excited to cultivate it because it's what I desire. The fifth is like things that are sort of innate to me and I but I have to express them. The joy connected to one's dharma. Is one phrase that I've heard used to describe the fifth house in Indian astrology that I really like this was the joy of Venus in Hellenistic astrology, and a place that's associated with pleasure and joy romance. It's associated with pregnancy. The reason that it's associated with pregnancy and children and dharma is because that creative essence that we bring out of ourselves and express into the world. One very literal way that happens is through children. Not it's not like everyone needs to have children, but that's the idea. So Uranus, in the fifth for some people, who, for some Aquarians, will bring, you, know, a revolution through children entering your life, or through over seven years, there's going to be a like a magnum opus, or maybe with Gemini, multiple creative endeavors that need to be brought forth as a way of saying, you know, the thing that requires revolutionary like the revolutionary impulse, needs to come out through creative acts like, what, what is the, what are creative parts of me that need to be expressed more that Haven't been expressed? What is the creative revolution that is ready to express itself in my life and again, for some Aquarians, that might mean kids, or it could mean that you, you know, make an album on your own, on your own time with your own equipment. Whatever it is, it's about bringing forth what's within as an act of creative revolution. So I love that. I love this for Aquarians, I think this is one of the sparkiest, most creative pieces. When you Trine that to Pluto and Aquarius in your first house. This is also about this shift of identity and character that's accompanying a creative outlet of expression. So it's very personal for Aquarians right now. This may also, for Aquarians, bring up tensions between, how much do I identify with groups, collectives, versus who am I as a unique, creative being, apart from any group or category.

Finally, Pisces, we have Uranus in the fourth house. The fourth house is a Moksha house, associated with the relinquishment of attachments. I love this metaphor of going to bed at night, coming home to rest at the end of the day, working out in the world. That's Moksha on the day to day level. When you get home at come home from the office, if you have one, you know, maybe a lot of people work from home. Now, for me, I go, I leave this and I go downstairs to like the other part of the house, where my office is separate from so then I'm done. Okay, now I'm ready to relax. I'm ready to hang out with the kids, the dogs. Maybe we'll watch a movie, or maybe we'll go for a walk or do whatever, play a game or something. That release from the from the world, into a space of rest, into a space of kind of sinking and settling into our roots. Planets go all around the wheel. They come here. They they have, in a sense, returned to the place that they began from, because from this point forward, planets will rise again. So they return to this place, and they rise from this place again. So it's the roots, it's the home, but it's also the grave. It's associated with death at the end of life, the final resting of the body and releasing from material form altogether. Pisceans, you have a very deep revolution happening at the roots around things like home and family ancestry, parental karma, family karma, home and living environment changes, and also the need to liberate things from within. So the fourth house in Indian astrology also refers to the private sphere of life, the inner private sphere that we don't necessarily show everyone. It's more secret, or it's more only a few people or even family members really see that kind of private side of who we are. So revolution in the sphere can look like a revolution of your inner life, or the space around your inner life, which for most of us, is sort of like our dwelling place and the relationships that constellate around that place. Uranus brings revolution to that space. It brings a shake up of norms, a little bit of destabilization, but also exciting new ideas about what that space can look like, who the people are that inhabit that space with you. So those are some things to consider for Pisceans, alright, we, on that note, got through all 12 signs. I'm. I feel like that was, that was a pretty good pace, hope we didn't, you know, it's kind of like hope that you don't do too much on one sign and not enough on another. But I think that's been pretty good. So what I will do now is I will take maybe just like 1015, minutes of any questions that you guys have. It could be about a planetary transit. It could be, you know, question you have for me personally as a content any questions you guys have, I'll do a little Q and A before I leave for the day, and as I wait for your questions to come in, whatever you may have, I'm going to point you one last time. Don't forget that our courses start this weekend. So go over to Nightlight, astrology.com, click on the Courses page. Go to first year course. We start this Sunday. Need based tuition is at the bottom. It's not too late to register. It'd be great to see you guys in class if you came in late. At the beginning of today's show, I hosted a bunch of staff members kind of talking about the programs, and also I plugged their reading services, which you can also find through the website. So,

okay, so I'm going to see what questions you have. Aaron says, Adam, do you have any advice for transiting Uranus opposite natal Uranus in sag in the 10th house. Yeah, sure. So whenever you get the Uranus opposition, I think one good way of thinking about it is that this is a kind of mid middle life flashpoint for changing circumstances and changing directions. One ideal has been the norm, as represented by Uranus, all planets have different ideals for our lives in different areas, Uranus has presented an ideal, and in sag in the 10th it may have to do with how you show up in the world, what skills you bring to the world, what your professional direction looks like Uranus going into your fourth house and opposing will say, How am I reconfiguring who I want to be in the world, the direction of my public professional life, in correspondence with a kind of revolution that's happening in the inward, private sphere of my life. So those two things come into dialog, and I don't have any advice other than to don't rush listen. Have daily practices so that the urge to rush that Uranus often presents us with, you can manage and just incrementally feel your way through that change while also receiving the, you know, the sudden, disruptive changes that the transit will likely bring, yeah, it's a good one. Are you excited about the present and coming shifts? Good question. Chad, you know, I'm not. I like to be totally honest about this stuff. Like the contemplative ancient tradition of astrology is really about learning to see the ongoing. You know, mandala of planetary events as nothing more than a reflection of the ongoing nature of change and impermanence and flux, all of which reflects these divine, eternal patterns. And so what I'm really more interested in as an astrologer, just for myself, aside from like the clients I serve, whose questions are very important to me, but just for myself, I don't tend to get excited or afraid in one direction or another by planetary transits, because what I'm what I'm more interested in, is living and using them as a means to reflect and to deepen intimacy and connection with the experiences as they happen. That is like the astrological practitioners of astrology throughout history are often more on the contemplative side of astrology than they are about getting wrapped up in or identified with the transits themselves. So to be completely honest, it's not that I don't have a side of me that's kind of interested, like, Ooh, what will happen? Ooh, that's a kind of big winner. But it's more like I just don't care so much about that, because there's really nothing new under the sun. All of these divine patterns are re instantiations, reiterations of the same. You know, they're never they're never the same, but they're never new either. And so I I'm always surprised by how amazing the present moment is and how deeply I can move into reflection upon life through astrology, but I don't really get excited about it. That doesn't mean you shouldn't either. I'm just being honest with you know, kind of what of where, what I my vibe, I guess. Barb says, See you at the horary class. Oh, good. Hope to see you there. How could I become a better content creator transiting Uranus opposed Neptune and sag? Right in first advice, well, let's just take it. Take it away from any transit, right? Because whatever I just I don't like the advice can be more straightforward. Doesn't have to be tied to astrology. The the, in my humble opinion, the best way to be a better content creator is to just keep doing it. It's not that complicated. It's like, Just be creative. Have fun with it. Do it. I would say, do it consistently, because it's hard to get better at anything that we don't do consistently, whether it's, you know, weight training or playing the guitar or doing astrology or, you know, a sport or a skill, it's like, it's like Patanjali Yoga Sutras tells us, in order to achieve the results of yoga, of of union, you have to practice consistently for long periods of time, in all earnestness, without interruption. So that may be impossible for some of us, given you know, the like intensity of of our lives, but like, if you want to be a good content creator, just keep doing it and just keep having fun with it and be consistent, and it just grows. That's how I think it works. That's how I think most things work. To be honest, is whole sign whole sign natal chart discussed in year one. I don't resonate much with my whole sign natal chart, but when it comes to transit and predictive methods, I do. I want to learn why. Methods, I do, I want to learn why that is great question. Yes, all Hellenistic astrology utilizes whole sign houses. So we we not only utilize whole sign houses in the classes, but we talk about why the other thing. And I tell this to people all the time, and I really don't mean to sound condescending, but when people say, I don't resonate much with my whole sign natal chart. Well, unless you know all of the interpretive methods and delineation techniques that go along with a whole sign house system. Of course you don't, of course you're not going to, because you're reading your whole sign chart with a totally different set of tools. It would be like saying. It would be like someone saying, I don't resonate much with acupuncture as a modality without someone actually applying needles to you, who knows how to apply them? You don't know how to apply needles. In other words, and that's the whole point of learning. It is that you can then learn how to when you in other words, it's not just a, it's not just a It's not just a house method. It's an entire interpretive lens that the house system is just one part of, and most people do not resonate with it until they know how to read it in whole signs, because it's not you. If you don't know Hellenistic astrology, you don't know how to read a whole sign house chart. So of course, it's not going to resonate. And I always tell that to people, because unfortunately, in modern astrology, we think that, well, whole sign houses, it's just a different house system. That would be like saying that Vedic Astrology is just a different house system, right? It's like, That's so ridiculous. It's not. It's a whole system that utilizes whole sign houses as part of its interpretive modality. So think about it that way. It'll help more. And again, I don't mean to sound condescending, because that's the truth. Do you give importance to cusps within the realm of the whole sign? No, not really. There's a way in which we look at planets in the natal chart that we're just about to cross into another whole sign house as representing a symbolic trajectory for a particular karma, or set of karmas in the life. But it's not the same as a cusp concept in modern astrology. Let's see. Yeah,

this is a good comment. The whole sign system is taught in great foundational detail in year one, ladder horse. Half of the course, almost all about reading natal charts in that lens. Yeah, it's, it's, it's like a whole thing. It's not just a house system, yeah, um, do you look at Uranus in relation to secondary progressed charts, no, because typically over, say, the first if you're doing a day for a year, you know, like Uranus isn't going to move that much. I mean, you could certainly pay attention to it as a potential sensitive point when other faster moving planets aspect it. But the actual progress movement of Uranus itself, because it's so slow in a progressed chart usually doesn't mean very much unless it makes a sign change, or unless, again, like a faster moving planet hits an aspect or a conjunction or something, or it moves on to an angle. So there could be certain contexts in which the progression of Uranus in a secondary chart might make sense. But by and large, the faster moving planets, especially the progress lunation cycle, are what I focus on, certainly what I teach. When did you realize your belief system changed and your confidence in it strengthened? I feel like this may be an important theme for me. Within the next few years was very gradual, and it first involved me like trying, like with Uranus in my first time. Else is what I think you're asking about it first came through allowing myself to explore something that I was really excited about, only to realize that it wasn't a good fit, and to then have the confidence to change back to something regardless of how unstable that might look to other people, which was honestly kind of more of my concern than than the actual change itself. Was like, how am I going to look? Because I look, I look like someone who just changed his name and then changed it back. What a nut job. But I was like, You know what like so much of being like for me? You know, Venus ruled Taurus Ascendant is like getting past whether my appearance or the way I present myself to the world as a matter of dharma in the first house is like, socially pleasant for other people or not. It was like, I don't give a shit if it's not. This is also the exact same impetus that caused me to say I am no longer going to participate in any commentary on like political events on my channel, because I personally can't keep participating in us versus them narratives, righteous versus unrighteous, good versus bad, moral versus immoral, Good versus evil. I just that's not the lens through which I want to approach things. And just because I made that choice, I had a ton of people. This was maybe four, four years ago now, five years ago now, right at the Jupiter Saturn conjunction in Aquarius, was when that started for me. That initially just said, Well, you, you're one of the enemies then, because you're not going to use your platform to be overtly political, or using the astrology to make political statements about which side you're on, or whatever. You're not doing that. So you're one of the bad guys, all right? Well, fuck you. I don't give a shit. That's the truth. It's like that level of like, not caring what someone else thinks, like whatever you think about me, is your business, not mine, right? That was really, really hard for me, honestly, like, because I think, you know, again, being a Venus ruled, like Taurus ascended, is just, I care a lot about how I'm seen. And in some ways, that whole Uranus through the first house experience is now pretty much finishing. For me, was about caring a little bit more about, like, who am I and not so much, who am I, with such an awareness of what other people will think about what I am, which is also the same thing that led me to get into bodybuilding. Because honestly, it was that, along with other kind of masculine dimensions of my selfhood were sort of hidden and somewhat repressed, because I thought, well, I don't want to be misunderstood as some jerky douche bag gym rat, you know what I mean, like, so you get what I mean. All of it for me gradually, was about just being like I can only I have to be true to myself and go through a process of trying things on and figuring out what works, and gradually letting go of maybe what other people think of me so much, not that I become like, I'm not trying to antagonize anyone by doing that either. It's just, this is just me, you know, good question. So good luck with it, by the way. You know I

it's a perfect society. Yes, exactly. I've been influenced by you to listen to my rising sign, not sun sign. But is it still relevant to listen to sun sign as well? You can listen to whatever you want, right? The only reason I would say that you're like, you should listen to your rising sign is because, within the Hellenistic system that will convey to the transit of your birth chart, I think that's really important, right? Because I value the whole sign lens and the transits through the whole sign lenses. That's my entire school and practice, right? So, of course, I think it's really important your sun sign is going to be taking your sun sign and putting it as the whole sign first house of the chart that's being read. So unless your sun is actually in the first whole sign house of your birth chart, it will not be an accurate portrayal of where it's transiting in your birth chart. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have like divinatory value. You could think of sun sign horoscopes as sort of reading the entire horoscope through the lens of that sense of overarching purpose that a sun generally represents in all charts. So there's something of value there, for sure, but if you want the accurate placement of its transit in your chart, you use the rising sign. So I hope, I hope that helps. I've noticed you don't talk about a lot about sect. Is that something you save for the course? Well, there's no real room for sect treatment in daily horoscopes or daily mundane forecasting, because the sect is fluid, unless you're stationing things in a chart, right? So talking about, you know, Jupiter's transit through cancer. Or day versus night doesn't really make sense when you're forecasting it for millions of people from all over the world in charts that aren't set right. So archetypal, mundane forecasting is not the best place for sec to express itself, in my opinion, but in my natal work, of course, it plays a big role. But even then, it only plays a role that's very it's sort of fundamental but unspoken, which means it's not something I really need to convey to a client, as much as it is orienting how I read the chart for them, we talk a lot about that in my programs, there's a lot of Hellenistic language that's for us as practitioners, not for clients necessarily, unless, of course, your client has an interest in the language, in which case it's easy to convey. But that's a really good question. Lisa, thank you for that. Let's see. Eileen

says, I love that your approach is personal and devotional. This speaks to my soul growth. Yeah, I that's like, that's my that's my vibe. It really is. So I think the altar, like, it's been speaking of, like, the whole changing nature of beliefs. It's not that suddenly I became anti spiritual, just because I left a spiritual community that I was a part of. In fact, you know, you can see, you know, Krishna and Radha are still on my altar, and I still, you know, offer them for Sodom, like, it's like, still a part of my life. But I think, you know, for me, recently, bringing things like the altar practice back, or the Sunday silent meetups we're going to start having later this summer, you know, slowly bringing in things that one of the things I learned is like, take your time to digest the changes that are coming really deeply. Consider them. There's that speed of Uranus for sure that can sometimes, yeah, the changes can be made without, like, a proper sort of step by step reflection on them. Yeah. So, okay, occasionally I just burst out swearing. So did you have imposter syndrome when you started your astrology business? If so, how did you get over it? Yeah, of course. And I'm completely honest when I say that, the best way to get over that is now, this is just me, like, if you don't resonate with this, translate it into whatever makes sense for you. But I'm just talking to God. I'm like, God, I feel like an imposter. I really love this, and I really want to use it in service to other beings, in a way that is good and true. I want to have my business in a way that's, you know, profitable, but good. Like, how can I strike these balances? I think, rather than trying to manage that in your head, talk to your altar about it, talk to God about it, or journal about it. Or, if you're not into, you know, God, talk to goddess or tell, you know, like whatever. Make it a conversation that's not just taking place in your own head that you have to figure out or solve. Because then what is the answer? Then the answer is like, Well, okay, I'm not an imposter. I'm the real thing. Well, I mean, are you, you know, maybe you are an imposter. Maybe you're part imposter and part authentic in the beginning, that's probably more true. You know, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it's like, yeah, when we first start off, we should feel on a certain level, like we're imposters, but not entirely imposters. We should also feel and sense the part of us that's authentic and that's sincere, and we should carry that tension meaningfully, which is what our spirituality is meant to help us do, rather than saying, well, just overcome it with an instant gospel of confidence. It's like, Yeah, I mean, but that confidence where, how substantive is it if it hasn't really wrestled with acknowledged, honored and allowed for the doubt for the imposter, the imposter has to continue being a part of who we are, in other words, because it's what keeps us humble, it's what keeps us real, like I still feel like an imposter, and I also know how to deal with that. When it comes up, it's not just some blanket. Well, you're a true being of light, and just get rid of that voice of doubt. No, I'll, you know, there's competent voices that can pep me up. That voice is being like, mean or harsh, but there's also voices I have that listen and say, okay, yeah, well, like, I wonder why that's coming up right now. And then I think about it and I go, Oh, maybe it's because I was sort of thoughtless or mindless, and something I did recently, you know, so we have to, like, make that imposter syndrome, not like a bully or a domineering voice, but like a thoughtful voice. That's a part of your process, and it will help. It will be a part of what makes you fantastic. What am I looking forward to the most with Uranus in Gemini, the new ideas for content or classes or astrology and the new just new learning that I can't even imagine right now, that I get excited about? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, hey, Adam, does pricing factor in exchange rates, or is even the need based in US dollars? The need based is set up to give you a flexible pricing that allows for people who the currency rate is really high with our normal rates to utilize. So it's like the normal rate in the way it converts to your currency, if you're not in the US is really high. Just use the need based tuition, pick a rate that reflects what you can afford given the currency conversion, because we give you a sliding scale to work within. So you're welcome to use that if the currency rate is too high. Yeah, for sure. Thank God Adam isn't the typical Jim bro doing astrology. Yeah, although I will tell you, like, one of my favorite things to do is sometimes, if I have time, I'll take a sauna at the fitness the gym. I'll take a sauna afterwards, and the guys that are sitting in there and the shit they talk about, man, it's wild. I mean, if anyone says there isn't a thing as such a thing as toxic masculinity, it's like, no, spend 15 minutes in the sauna at the gym I go to with the the men's only, like, sauna. It's like, it's like, so toxic, some of it, but then I'm always refreshed, because occasionally there will be men who come in and sit down and they're heart centered and they're genuine and they're caring, and they're dads and they're not jerks. And so I don't know, being in the gym, I don't you know, I'm very private in the gym, but getting to see the different like shades of masculinity for me, that has been very insightful and very healing. Anyway. Just as an aside, let's see David pump in the program for us. Thank you. That's really nice of you.

Oh, I like this a lot. Sushila says one way I work through this is to just build an inventory of doing readings. The more I do astrology, the more I believe I'm an astrologer. Part of it being an astrology practice. Yeah, well said, and that is, by the way, why Susheela is a really special reader and one of our course assistants.

What ways do you recommend for building clientele these days? Seems like social media is saturated with astrologers. I always tell people like, if your desire is to serve rather than to get clientele, if you can keep that as a focus, as a mantra, as an intention, as a prayer, while you're building a practice people that are unique to your sphere, that couldn't find any other way to astrology, but through you will come. I know it sounds a little like Field of Dreams, if you build it, they will come. But I believe that deeply. I've taught that for 15 years, and I've watched so many students be successful because they think more about their love of astrology and being genuine and authentic, and that sets you apart from the oversaturated type of astrology. And then people that are meant to find you in your sphere of influence will come. I can't tell you how deeply I trust that down to my bones,

auta wasn't so buff. That's funny. Oh, I just at some point down the road, because I have not integrated. So I had such a major personal breakthrough with the Jupiter Saturn square and the Mars Uranus thing around body health image. There I had, like, a remarkable synchronistic experience that I'm going to be integrating, like, probably for months, and at some point I'll tell that story, but I hope all of you, aside from the, I mean, here in Minnesota, obviously, with the terrible acts of violence that were just done towards some political leaders, the the vibe internationally, with warfare and, like the demonstrations, and It's just like, wow, that was a very intense weekend. My experience of that is nothing compared to some people in our audience who mentioned yesterday someone from Iran that was showing pictures of their neighborhood. It's like terrifying. So very intense time right now. Let's see. Lucky says need based tuition is awesome. Oh, good. Did you believe? Did you experience guilt or fear as your beliefs shifted? Of course, yeah, of course, on different levels, you know? And then I think, because I have, I have a really good therapist, a Jungian therapist that I've been working with for a long time, and other resources in my life, like Al Anon, which is a 12 step program for family members of alcoholics, that I attend, and obviously, physical and spiritual practices that are important to me, I feel like I was able to work through it, but yeah, I mean, I think probably pretty normal when you join a religious group. Then leave you know, it's like, Am I doing the right thing? Yeah, maybe a noob question. What's your take on dominant planets in the birth chart? I've never seen anyone speak about that. Is it a thing? I don't think about it as dominance or strength. Those words, I don't think, are the most helpful to convey a prominent, not dominant, but prominent planet. A prominent planet is often one that stands out in the chart for a variety of reasons, its dignity, essentially or accidentally, its sect, you know, stellium, an aspect something. But what I have found to be true is that it's almost never the same prominent planet, speaking all of the time throughout the life in your 30s, at 34 to 36 years old, with Time Lord techniques and perfections and transits, we can see that one planet, in a chart may be very prominent for a period of time, and even much more so than an Angular, exalted planet or something like that. So the chart is a living oracular thing that doesn't convey a static image with a hierarchy of important or less important things. It's really not the best to think about it that way. That's just my opinion. I believe that too, if your heart is true, the universe will collect you to the collective you belong to. There's this famous quote from Carlos Castaneda. He's like, the question is, does this path have heart? Am I on a path with heart? And I believe that once, when you are then it's like the rest takes care of itself. Oh, look, my my screen flipped.

Yeah. So during the Venus retrograde we we were trying to figure out how to get the screen to show up, and there was this whole mirroring issue. And, like, some of my videos for a while were like, uh, unintentionally mirrored in the opposite way it was pretty much like, so I was like, pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. I What are your anises? What are your thoughts on traditional seven planet astrology, make sure your almond milk doesn't have seed oil. Eggs are better than oxalate. Boats, especially if you're working out seed oils, eggs are better than oxalate. Okay, well, thank you for your your your advice, I guess. But anyway, what are your thoughts on traditional seven planet astrology? Yeah, the whole year one program that I teach is rooted in using only the traditional seven planets, the nodes of the moon, a lot of fortune and spirit. And then in the year two program, we bring back the outer planets. And that, almost like an elimination diet, is a really, is really fundamental to how the learning happens. For the first couple of years in my practice, I took out the outer planets, as did people like Demetra George, just to focus on the traditional and once you have done that, it really deepens and enhances your relationship with the traditional planets, at which point reincorporating the outer planets, for many people, becomes so much like richer and more meaningful. So that's a big part of how I do things okay, I'm going to end things here because we are at about two hours. That was about how long I wanted to go today. So thank you to everyone for being here and for especially for letting me introduce my staff, promote my program. I know many of you are probably just waiting for the content, but that those little daily promos are how I earn my living, in addition to the Kickstarter every year. So it always means a lot to me when people give me the space to promote what I'm doing and and for you to get to meet those people, get a reading with them. They're awesome. They go to the affordable readings on the website. Hope to see some of you in class. Horary starts this weekend. Year One starts this weekend, and there's good content coming the rest of this week, we're going to be looking at, I believe it's the Jupiter Neptune square, and tracing that cycle out, which is a really fascinating thing to do. I take you through the entirety of the last Jupiter Neptune cycle in one of the videos this week, and give you some tips for tracking it, because that transit is coming now, right on the heels of Jupiter square to Saturn, and is going to look. Feel a little different, even though Jupiter, or even though Saturn and Neptune are very close together, Jupiter Neptune is a different vibe, and we're going to be experiencing that shortly. Okay, so we'll hope to see some of you in classes soon. Otherwise, have a great rest of your day. We'll see you again next time. Bye, everyone.
