Astrology can be a helpful energetic barometer for how the movement of the cosmos is impacting us and our environment. And right now? There’s a lot of “weather” happening in our world.
Believe it or not, this is not a time to numb out.
This is not a time to spiritually bypass or “love and light” your way through it.
This is a time to HARNESS YOUR MAGICK and alchemize what you’re feeling.
Everyone is grieving. Everyone is tired, or angry, or worried about where humanity is leading us. Social media has us spiraling and regulating our systems is key.
You may be asking, “What can I do?” through all of it and get overwhelmed by both the small answer and the big existential one. We all have our roles that we’re meant to discover and this is the time to unravel those pieces. But first, we need to harness and hold space for our fear – and more importantly, integrate our Shadow and anchor it into something sacred.
We’ve got a pretty big astrological transit coming up Monday, July 7, 2025 – Uranus enters Gemini and stays there until 2033. This kicks off a significant time in our history as it sparks a fire within us to ground ourselves in its energy of spiritual chaos & change.
If you’ve been reading this year’s Astrology or listening to your favorite Youtube readers, you’re aware of how the outer planets are doing some wild things. While it’s all for our benefit to keep our timeline shifting in the direction it needs to go for progress, it can feel destabilizing. I’m going to backtrack for a sec to give you more context about the astrological foundation that’s being built.
PLUTO IN AQUARIUS: RADICAL SHIFTS ON COMMUNITY OPTICS
If we look back to roughly November 19, 2024, Pluto entered Aquarius for the long haul, which marked a 20-year transit through the planet of death, innovation and rebirth. Aquarius is all about tackling your personal feelings on control and limitation and pushes you beyond your limits to liberate you. Themes of tech advancements are at the forefront, while a focus on placing the power back to the people via a focus on micro-communities.
Unless you live under a rock (which I can’t really blame you if you do), you’ll know our American political system shifted last November into a different energy – and there have been massive world events & changes since. What’s interesting about the last time that Pluto was in Aquarius was between 1778 – 1798, during both the American and French Revolutions, which absolutely changed the landscape of our planet.
So, let’s just say Pluto is laying down the bigger roadmap for humanity.
URANUS ENTERS GEMINI:
Uranus, another planet of change and innovation, is scheduled to move into Gemini this Monday, July 7, 2025. Uranus is a planet all about disruption and revolution, and Gemini shakes up the energy even more. It’s going to stay in this sign through 2033, forever changing the way we view money, transportation and media (how we consume it).
The last few times Uranus entered Gemini (it happens about every 84 years), we experienced major conflicts in our country:
- American Revolutionary War (the founding of the US fell into the transit period of 1776)
- American Civil War (1861)
- America entered World War II (1941)
What does this tell us? Our empire is deconstructing itself and Revolution is likely on our horizon. Both Pluto’s and Uranus’s combined energies are going to feel intense. These energies are designed to show you the climate of our world – but as Witches, we know that only we can control how we respond to that climate. We have the tools to alchemize and transmute the energy of uncertainty and fear into a vehicle to reclaim our Inner Power. Some people fear change, while others use the chaotic energies to their advantage. Whichever one you are, I’ve got a few Rituals up my sleeve to help you navigate it.
LET’S TALK JUSTICE MAGICK & ALCHEMY.
Justice Magick has been used for centuries to transmute chaotic energies into specific outcomes. By definition, Justice Magick is transmutation ritual for when you’re feeling wronged or you’re powerless, or when you feel social justice was miscarried. Through this spellwork, you’re able to send corresponding energy out against the institution that is disempowering you or others.
I’ve created a three-step Justice Ritual that harnesses the power of your emotions (any fear or anxiety rolling around) and pulls your focus towards action. You’re going to do this ritual on July 7th at 7pm. 7/7 at 7. The Numerology of 7 is all about truth-seeking and deep intuition. You’ll step straight into this energy, but first you need to shift the fear.
STEP ONE – Your fear is sacred.
ITEMS:
Jar, Angelica (creates barrier against negative energy), a single Carnation flower (achieves balance) and Marshmallow Root (psychic protection) + a piece of paper & pen and candle of your choice for wax melting.
I want you to write what you’re afraid of – literally, your worst fear about what’s happening in the world.Or maybe you’re afraid of what could happen to you.Remember, we’re holding space for it rather than pushing it down.You’re going to write it down this fear and when you fold the paper up to place it in the jar, you’re going to fold it towards you.This is not a banishing spell, this is actually going to help you harness this energy and hold it in sacred power to allow it to move you through this transit. Like I said, there is no Spiritual Bypassing during this time, so you’re fully leaning into it. Speak your fear out loud and ask Universe/ Goddess/ Energies to step in next to you and guide you into this energy. Before you place it in the jar, ask them:
“How can I transmute this into power to help others during this transit?”
Place all the items in the jar, light the candle and seal the jar with wax and set it on your altar. It’s going to be staying there as long as it takes you to navigate this transit, so make sure you feel good about it once you seal the jar.
STEP TWO – “Lowering the Mists” Spell.
ITEMS: CANDLES (in order): Grey, orange, indigo, purple, black, gold
You’re going to be drawing down a veil of invisibility when you perform this spell. This is an incredible form of Protection that sets the tone for the remainder of your Magick as you navigate the Uranus transit. Choose your favorite deity, archetype or angel/demon to work with on this one. Here’s how to start the Protection Spell:
I move outside my limits of time to work this spell. Goddess (or energetic of your choice), help me weave the Universal energy. The things that now exist become what I desire. The tides of Magick, answer to me.
(Light the candles in order)
Gray mists to hide what I must do. Orange light to (insert something you want to bring to you). Indigo strength to stop (insert what needs to end). Purple power to break bad luck and (insert intention here). Great black walls to protect (insert who needs to be protected). Sun-gold beams to illuminate this intention and grant me success.
I stand, surrounded by these powerful lights. I ask (your deity/energetic) to assist me in my Intention. My thanks to the Energies who came to answer my call. I wove the Magick, wild and free and as I will, so shall it be."
Let the candles burn down and release.
STEP THREE – The Justice.
Fear often comes from a lack of understanding.Much of the injustices we’re seeing right now is created from fear-based hatred.This is our opportunity to integrate astrology more deeply into our Spellwork and form new relationships with the planetary energetics. We’re specifically working with Uranus on this spell and the Numerology of 7.
Choose two of these seven herbs: Poppy Seeds, Chamomile, Mint, Willow, Lemongrass, Blue Lotus and Lavender. All of these herbs correspond with Uranus properties. Carve the symbol of Uranus onto the candle and dress it with a carrier oil & the herbs. If you have Uranus oil, then even better.
Clear your mind and do some automatic writing. You’re going to write down SEVEN institutions, operations or constructs that you want Uranus to disrupt, destroy and/or bring illumination to. Think of seven things that need to be dismantled for the sake of a better, more compassionate and evolved humanity. Don’t think just with yourself, think BIGGER PICTURE. What atrocities are happening in the world that creates the biggest fear in you and how can Uranus help redirect? With the energy of Uranus in Gemini, you’ll best manifest through intellect and communication so get creative with your Intentions.
Light the candle and invoke Uranus’ energy. Invite this planet warmly, as it’s here to help us break free from societal norms and embrace who we truly are. Speak your seven intentions out loud and allow the candle to burn down in its entirety. Keep the piece of paper on your altar indefinitely.
At the end of the day, these rituals are designed to clear, protect and release the fear that will be generated from this tumultuous time that we’re in. Creating Magick and transmuting your energy is just the first step in strengthening and grounding yourself. What happens next? Educate yourself. Read responsible news sources (preferably outside the US), study history & economics to observe how people survived through these times in the past, volunteer with your community, get to know your neighbors, protest with the 50501 movement that brought 12 million folks out to the streets to make themselves heard. Whatever empowers you and connects you to your humanity and compassion is going to be the way you navigate this Uranus transit and more importantly, this period of time.
