Uranus in Gemini – Tricksters, Twins, and Re-making the World

Webinar Description

When the planet Uranus – known as the Awakener – moves through the sign of Gemini, the twins, we enter the terrain of opposites, siblings, and conspicuous pairings; invention and innovation; and all forms of communication, from lofty ideas both old and new, shared in deeply-involved conversations, to gossip whispered over the fence between neighbours or through text messages in group chat. Gemini is ruled by the ever-resourceful Mercury (and Hermes), whose preference is the open road, to always be on the move. In the ancient world, piles of stones known as “herms” (after Hermes) were used as markers along roads and at boundaries, including crossroads. Herms laid along the way would help fellow travellers from getting lost. They also marked the way as having already been travelled, someone was here. Mercury is also a formidable Trickster, leading us on (or leading us on?).

In 2025-2026 we find ourselves both on the move and at a rather profound crossroads. This webinar will look at what happens when Uranus enters and moves through Gemini. Our herms will include various pairings of twins and siblings in mythology, including the siblings Prometheus (foresight) and Epimetheus (hindsight) – perhaps most important of all at this time, given that astrologers have identified rebellious, progressive, freedom-loving Prometheus as a particularly Uranian figure. We will also look at prominent Trickster figures, known to be disruptive and confusing and, importantly or improbably, the creators of culture. Additional herms in this webinar include a variety of chart examples as well as cultural and historical touchstones.
