Uranus in Gemini: The Stories We Tell.... or... How to Think Like God
Today... at 8:51pm EST on April 25th... Uranus makes its once-in-7-year ingress into a new Archetype, which just happens to be my own: GEMINI.
The 'butt' of many gassy jokes, dear Uranus is a trickster indeed.
Last year, with his sneaky little run to 1° Gemini in July/Aug/Sept/October, this jokester pulled a fast one on me... as he landed directly on my South Karmic Node at 0° Gemini.
Uranus broke my life last summer.
Irreparably.
As Uranus loves to do.
Yet... what exactly broke??? I am still here. Better than ever, actually.
You know what broke?
A STORY.
A story about what it takes to be loved.
A story I had been telling myself for decades. Lifetimes, actually (as South Node rules our karmic entry).
When this story broke into a million pieces, as Uranus came conjunct the Node, I felt as if my life was breaking. I felt like I was breaking!! I cried for 5 weeks straight. I made myself literally sick with grief. I stared at the shattered dreams, writing pages and pages of journals, having endless conversations with friends until they began to avoid me, and studying every detail of what had transpired... desperately trying to see the cracks... as though, if I could understand it, I could reverse it!!!
Like a good little student, if only I could get the right answer, I could change what had happened.
Yet there were just more and more... words.
More and more... thoughts.
And more and more... suffering.
The prison of the lower mind. The prison of Gemini.
Finally I realized I needed to let that old story die.
And fortunately, I happen to have God on speed dial.
All of us do, really. We all have a higher mind... which is how to Universe talks to us.
So, no word of a lie, as I was progressing through my mourning, God called me on the cosmic phone and we had a good chat. On a mountain in Sedona, actually. At the end of February. I flew all the way across the continent just to catch her voice on a breeze. Like a song, she sang into me as we walked the Red Rock.
I said to her, "Why??? Why did this happen? Why, when I didn't want it to? Why, when I loved so much? Why, when this was what I longed for? Prayed for? Waited for, so patiently? Why was it taken? WHAT DID I DO WRONG???"
And she explained... lovingly, of course... that it was not my fault. That there was a bigger story. Something more. A higher Truth. Hugging me with words, her good little student, she sang the song she wanted me to hear. She re-wove my story... as she preferred I tell it. She took the narrative from misery and punishment, to tenderness and hope.
And then she kindly patted me on my back, told me to have Courage, gave me a beautiful glimpse of my future, and gently urged me on my way.
No word of a lie... this is how it happened.
Uranus broke my karma last summer... my security blanket... my STORY... into a million pieces. And then God came through... picked me up off the floor... and helped me re-narrate the tale.
And now I am dreaming a new one.
A new STORY OF ME.
More authentic.
This is Uranus in Gemini medicine.
Uranus remains in Gemini until 2033. During this time, our STORIES are sure to be tested. We may be asked to carefully consider the words we allow into our hearts and minds... as they become the words we repeat, again and again, until they are beliefs. Until they are reality.
WORDS ARE SPELLS, after all.
And we can cast black ones or white ones. Our choice.
The last time Uranus was in Gemini was 1941-1949.
Talk about mental mania, this was a height of madness. The second world war was raging. And the liberation from it took root.
Did you know that, right before the US decided to fight alongside the Allies, tipping the scales of war from the Nazi's tyranny, there were massive protests from US citizens saying 'this is not our war!!'. It is suspected that up to 90% of Americans were against the war.
Yet in 1941, as Uranus entered Gemini, the American mind changed.
Imagine the world we'd live in now if that tyranny had not been opposed. If the Nazis had been allowed to rule the world. If the song of LOVE and LIBERTY and LOGIC had not been sung, clearly and loudly across the planet.
We'd be royally f*-ked.
When the winds of thoughts were black and vile, there rose a new sweet song.
North America joined the fight against darkness, singing TRIUMPH during a time when ideology truly was the propagandist vehicle of evil, casually snuffing out the lives of millions as it were the obvious choice.
The way we narrate, the thoughts we think, the stories we tell... they define us. So powerful are they... creating movements that destroy, and that preserve. Words catch us in their web, either way.
Over the next 7 years, may we liberate ourselves to think and speak words that rise above duality.
May we think and speak words that create freedom.
May our world find LIBERATION from the tyranny of ideological extremism that represses freedom, that takes life casually.
May we come to think like GOD: objective, wise, fair, compassionate, creative, universal.
Uranus in Gemini = the higher mind.
During these next 7 years, I pray we all learn to think with it.
Here is a summary of my URANUS IN GEMINI recommendations...
1. Words are SPELLS. And those who use them for their own benefit are BLACK MAGICIANS. Those who use words for the highest good are White magicians. What kind of magic are you making? Every moment, our thoughts create our reality. Choose wisely. We are learning.
2. Every word is a lie, because every word is a translation of Truth... not the truth itself. So during this Uranian passage, I recommend we become comfortable feeling the ENERGY BEHIND WORDS... to know if they are meant for us. Do not trust face value... always use the intuition. Always think from the HIGHER MIND.
3. Choose to tell a story that uplifts you and takes you higher, rather than taking you down. And if you need to descend into the underworld to collect a piece of you, make sure you invite dear Hermes/Mercury along... for the winged messenger will keep you from falling into the River Styx.
All my love,
Sara
