Dear friends,
Twenty-five years ago this Friday, the disruption came out of a clear blue sky. This Thursday, on the eve of that anniversary, the sky’s own disruptor marks the moment with a shock of its own that will be felt across nations, by world leaders, and by each of us in our own lives.
This week starts quiet, but it finishes loud.
It’s time to brace for the incoming shock.
Uranus - the planet of lightning, revolution, and the change nobody scheduled - has been moving through Gemini, the sign of the mind, since April, and on Thursday - an anniversary of its own, marking one year since the killing of Charlie Kirk - it stands completely still and starts running backwards. A planet standing still is a planet at full volume, and Uranus running backwards is the planet of disruption turning back toward whatever it already disrupted.
Decisions get undone.
Deals collapse.
Cases that were closed get reopened.
People who were in are suddenly out.
And because it’s happening in Gemini, it comes through words and wires - a leak, a hack, an outage, a document, a resignation, a market lurching on a headline.
Then, hours later, Friday’s New Moon lands on the spot where the Sun stood over New York on the morning of September 11, 2001. The disruption in the sky, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the disruption in the sky.
The sky is very specific about who takes the shock this week. The chart it’s circling most heavily of all belongs to King Charles, and the House of Windsor. The US Justice Department also takes multiple hits - Kash Patel, Todd Blanche and even Pam Bondi all feel this one personally. The Epstein files light up across a dozen charts at once, through the one man in Congress with nothing left to lose. The shock lands inside the White House, most heavily on the chart of Melania Trump. The Treasury Secretary gets cornered. The Mayor of New York takes it the night before he stands at Ground Zero. California, Newsom, Shapiro and Ocasio-Cortez all take it, and abroad, the sky turns away from Israel and Iran for the first time in months and points instead at China, Brazil, Australia, Russia, France, Hungary, Pakistan, Cuba and Canada, whose counter-tariffs bite on Tuesday.
And the shock is coming for each of us too. If you’ve got anything in your own chart near five degrees of Gemini - or of Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces, the points the station presses on from across the sky - Thursday is yours. If you were born at the end of May, that’s your Sun right there. Most of us will feel it as weather, wired and restless and sleeping badly for no reason we can name, but some of us will feel it as an event. If you want to know how it will land in your own chart, read on - I’ve unpacked it below.
What’s coming this week is a shock that rearranges; the mind’s great filing cabinets - the law, the files, the crown, the money - turned back to the beginning and read aloud. Everything the mind buried, handed back to it to feel this time. That’s what Uranus in Gemini is for, and it’s what this week is for, sending us out of our minds, and into our hearts.
Below, I’ve mapped the week day by day according to the sky, and written the full story of the shock coming on Thursday. If you want to know what the sky is saying this week, and what lies ahead, join us in the Inner Circle.
