July 2025 Uranus + the United States = Chaos and change
Earth and its inhabitants are at the end of a major cycle of time. One or two generations of humans are leaving the planet due to age. Many who have been in charge are leaving or are soon to be ousted from power. The old men who cannot let go will soon be gone. The religious, financial, political, and military structures that are in place in order to control the many, will fight to their bitter end. They know they are losing as a new wave of human consciousness gains ground. This is a worldwide phenomenon.
According to Hinduism, the current cycle is called the Kali Yuga. It is the Age Of Vice or the Age Of Darkness and it is coming to an end. The next cycle is the Age of Enlightenment. I guess we have nowhere to go but up, but in the meantime some people are trying to stop the expansion of consciousness. Let’s see how that works for them.
Whatever the label, we as living beings are setting the stage for a new way of life on Earth. What does that look like? We can only guess, but many of us feel it will be endings to the top down structure of society wherein those who control the resources continue to dictate to the rest of society.
Perhaps we will move into less borders and more self sufficiency. Maybe we will no longer allow someone to tell us how to live our lives.
Whatever the outcome, the new foundation is being laid over the next three years and will set the stage for hundreds of years to come. That is why you are alive at this time.
The Recap
The outer planets Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus were last conjunct in approximately 577-575 BCE. That alignment set the stage for modern humanity. We are still in that cycle.
Pluto, with its 248-year cycle, is now in Aquarius. This is power to the people. The last time that occurred the United States won the American Revolution chasing the red coats back to England. The French Revolution also occurred during the last cycle of Pluto in Aquarius.
Some of the technological advances during the last transit of Pluto in Aquarius include the small pox vaccine, steamboats and early submarines, the discovery of Uranus, flushing toilets, bifocal lenses, and hot air balloons to name a few. Additionally, tungsten, uranium, titanium, and chromium were discovered.
And of course human rights were one of the issues that drove social and political upheaval.
Neptune is now in Aries. The last time Neptune moved into Aries, the Civil War began.
Saturn is now in Aries for the first time since April 1999. It is close to an exact conjunction with Neptune. They conjunct every 35/36 years. This is a signpost for changes in governments worldwide. The last time this event took place many of the communist governments, including the USSR, fell. The Berlin Wall was taken down and Germany reunited. Putin moved into power since that conjunction.
Saturn and Neptune will be conjunct at 0 degrees Aries February 20, 2026. This will be the first time that this conjunction has happened at the first degree of the zodiac in thousands of years. This is a relaunch for humanity.
And Now
July 6 and during the days before and just after, Venus in Gemini is sextile Saturn and Neptune. This is a time to be creative and create connections with like-minded people. It can be a time of romance. Our imagination can be channeled into productive acts. Mean what you and say what you mean now. We are called upon to be true to ourselves as opposed to catering to those who want to us to sell out our souls for their benefit.
At the same time, Venus is trine Pluto in Aquarius. Many of us will run across people with whom we feel an instant and deep attraction. As a group, we humans can make social progress. It is long past time for this.
This month Neptune turns retrograde July 4 until December 10 and Saturn turns retrograde July 12/13 until November 27. Saturn is structure. Neptune, the ruler of the ocean, has the ability to dissolve structures as we are seeing with world alliances and governmental agencies. When planets turn retrograde, the effects they create are turned inward. We will turn within and reevaluate our ideals, dreams, and values. We will consider the practicality of our dreams.
Uranus!
The big news of this month is that Uranus moves into Gemini for the first time since leaving Gemini in 1949. Uranus was moving through Gemini during the peak and the ending of WWII.
With Uranus in the early degrees of Gemini actress Hedy Larmarr, co-invented a foundational technology called frequency hopping spread spectrum in 1942, which later became crucial for the development of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Lamarr and composer George Antheil received the patent for their “Secret Communication System” on August 11, 1942. Lamarr was a genius and their invention helped to guide torpedoes to their target.
Uranus in Gemini brings chaos and radical change. We will see amazing strides in communication, more amazing inventions, as well as disruptions while Uranus transits Gemini.
Uranus will go retrograde on September 5/6 and back into Taurus November 7, then re-enter Gemini in the last week of next April. While Uranus moves through Gemini until 2033, we will experience innovations and breakthroughs in communication and travel. The sky is probably not the limit.
Uranus And The United States
Uranus was at 8 degrees Gemini on July 4, 1776 when the Declaration Of Independence was signed.
During 1858 to 1861 Uranus returned to that place in the zodiac. It was the United States first Uranus return. During that time Abraham Lincoln was elected and the American Civil War began after the secession of several southern States.
The second Uranus return occurred during 1943-44. A few events that occurred were:
D-Day
The liberation in Europe
The Bretton Woods Conference - the planning of the International Money Fund and the World Bank.
Pressure for Civil Rights as African Americans and women played significant roles in fighting WWII
We are now approaching the United States' third Uranus return. It will be most potent in 2027-28, but we will begin to feel its effects in 2026. Will it be war? Will it be a change in the monetary system? Will civil rights be expanded? One thing is for sure; the United States will experience changes and events that will be both shocking and challenging.
“War, what is it good for? Nothin’”
Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Motown label,1969
This was written just after the last Uranus Pluto conjunction that inspired the social changes of the 1960s leading up to now.
I Was Curious
Since the United States birthday is days away, on a lark I ran the birthday chart for this year's solar return. I then ran the astro cartography chart to see where the planetary influences fall across this continent for the coming twelve months.
The Pluto line runs from Tampa, Florida up the eastern seaboard through Washington, DC. This is indicative of a confrontation, death, rebirth, and growth out of crisis. Death of the old ways of being are sure to come to that area of the country in the coming months. Power struggles will take place. Remember, Pluto is in Aquarius, which is people taking the power. Time will tell as to how that develops for the United States government and the eastern seaboard.
Uranus Trine Pluto
Uranus is 120 degrees from Pluto in Aquarius from July until December 2025. This aspect is especially active from late 2025 through 2026, with its strongest effects felt during mid-2026 and lasting until 2028.
Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius brings rapid technological progress. We the people will transform through the evolution of our collective beliefs and renewed intelligence. Communities and the ways we thrive in our communities are going to adapt and get an upgrade. Inclusion will return. Our minds will open to other cultures and most of us will support and initiate the reshaping of our societies. The last time Uranus was trine Pluto was 1921 - 1922. Uranus was in Pisces and Pluto was in Cancer. Just before this last trine women were granted the right to vote in 1920.
•The Chinese Communist Party was founded in July 1921, marking the rise of communism in China.
•The Italian National Fascist Party, led by Benito Mussolini, was established in November 1921, setting the stage for fascist expansion in Italy
•Philo T. Farnsworth designed an image dissector system in 1922, a precursor to television
•Agnes Macphail became the first woman elected to the Canadian Parliament in December 1921.
•The first female U.S. senator, Mrs. W. H. Felton, was appointed in 1922.
It seems like women will be making great strides to break the glass ceiling over the old men’s heads. This astrologer feels that women will emerge to lead replacing the patriarchy of greed.
The Full Moon July 10 in Capricorn at 18 degrees at 3:37 pm CDT
Any full Moon is the peak of the current lunar cycle. This full Moon highlights our ambition and the need to reconsider the validity of said ambition. Are you fighting for something worthwhile or harming yourself and others? The status quo will be quite active now as it attempts to hold onto the power.
This is the time to lay the groundwork for the future good of ourselves. Our ideas will be bold, but must be practical. Consider the details and ramifications of your actions before setting your course. Then, set out with enthusiasm.
This full Moon is very positive for Virgo and Taurus. Capricorn may have a meltdown while Aries, Cancer, and Libra act on their ambition that is aroused at this full Moon.
The new Moon July 24 in Leo at 2 degrees at 2:12 pm CDT
This new Moon is wonderfully powerful. Every new Moon is a new chapter in our lives. This new Moon wants us to sow the seeds to grow our hearts desire. That may be new love, starting a family, becoming an actor, or making art. Whatever you choose should spring from your authentic self. Do not hide your talent and celebrate yourself. Remember, we were born to be here on earth at this time. We can choose to help usher in a new consciousness and society. Plant your seeds and water them in good faith.
This new Moon is supported by Venus in Gemini square Mars in Virgo. While this aspect can be tense and create misunderstandings, it can also offer us opportunities to learn and grow.
This new Moon is also sextile Uranus and trine Saturn and Neptune. This brings innovative ways to put our dreams on the track to manifestation. Change is harmonious and inspired by our desire to make meaningful contributions to the new age that we are entering.
All the good that comes from this new Moon could very well be due to its opposition to Pluto in Aquarius. This aspect could very well prompt more exposure by whistle blowers or news that empowers us to be more honest when facing the truth of our state of affairs. Powerful actions including struggles for supremacy come out of this new Moon. Let us hope it is for the good. No one can stop the evolution of consciousness that is upon us.
Mercury Retrograde
Mercury is retrograde in Leo July 16/17 to August 11. Leo feels this the most. Slow down, back up the computers, and try to avoid new beginnings. Just as Mercury is turning retrograde, he is angling Venus --but in a good way. Try to be understanding when friends or loved ones must change plans or be late.
Mercury crosses the Sun in Leo July 31. Once again go with the flow and laugh off the tricks Mercury plays.
Travel is sure to be delayed. Check the solar weather, it may join Mercury in messing with our electronics and other sorts of instruments.
In Closing
Venus moves through Cancer July 30 to August 25. With the world events at hand, Venus in Cancer is the transit that wants us to spend time with loved ones. Seek those who provide security. Stay in the moment. With Uranus now in Gemini, we will have to find calm among the mayhem that is thrust upon us.
This is a great time for Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces to be there for your loved ones when they need you.
As of June 15, we moved into the influence of the September eclipses. Those events are sure to affect the world and our personal economies. There is the potential for surprising financial events as those who have all the money want more.
Handle the stress of the world by turning off the screens and connecting with nature. Walk barefoot on the grass. Drink relaxing teas. Meditate, and if you say you cannot, find an online or in person class to learn to connect with your inner self. The shift in consciousness and the world order is happening. Some call it the New Age; others say we are experiencing Revelation. Who can really say? It is in the stars, and they say the change we are experiencing is more profound than any we have known in our current incarnation.
Let yourself be awed by this shift without being consumed by those who want to stay in the old ways. Those ways and those people will soon be gone.
Remember, Glinda the good witch in THE WIZARD OF OZ waving her wand at the wicked witch of the West. “You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you.”
The power of those who represent the past is waning. Collective awakening is happening so that we can move into the new dimensions of consciousness. Otherwise, we are not long for this world. Do your part whatever that may be; that is why you are here.
