I’m glad Uranus has moved to Gemini.
For the past seven years, Uranus has been transiting through Taurus. As an Aries rising using the Whole Sign house system, that places Uranus in my second house of money and earnings. As the planet associated with liberation, awakening, and sudden change, Uranus brought radical changes to the way I earn and sustain myself. Some of those changes were exciting; others were deeply destabilizing. And it didn’t help that all this upheaval was happening in Taurus, a fixed earth sign that values stability and security.
Although Uranus officially entered Taurus in March 2019, it had already been moving back and forth between Aries and Taurus since 2018 due to its retrograde cycle. Looking back, I can see that this shift was already unfolding around the time I launched my spiritual business in 2018. My business has, in many ways, lived through this transit alongside me.
The creation of my business feels, in hindsight, unmistakably Uranian. I hadn’t planned any of it. The idea arrived like a lightning strike at the most unexpected moment. At the time, I had temporarily moved to the province to recover my health, and suddenly I found myself with more free time than I knew what to do with.
Doing nothing is foreign to me. I’ve always been a busy bee, juggling two or more projects at the same time. And not for the money either, since most of those were passion projects with little to no pay. I just like doing things that light me up and allow me to use my gifts.
So what did I decide to do with the surplus of free time? I went back to my first love: energy healing. Back in Manila, I had already received several certifications in different healing modalities, so I had a lot of tools under my belt. Offering sessions was never a question of “if,” just “when.” I started with mini sessions for colleagues, friends, and even some former clients, not really expecting much from it, but the response exceeded anything I anticipated.
After getting all that positive feedback, I remember thinking, “Why not do this full-time? Why go back to my old city life if I could stay here, do what I love, and actually get paid for it?” And that’s how The Daily Aah was born. What initially started as a temporary setup became a long-term endeavor.
I started off seeing two or three clients a month. Then, through word of mouth, the client list steadily grew. And then one day, out of nowhere, I had around 30 to 40 people show up for my sessions. It shocked me because I didn’t think I was capable of drawing that many clients. That moment re-energized me and expanded my vision for my work.
My earnings eventually soared to a level I never expected. It rivaled the highest salary I had from my previous jobs. I honestly couldn’t believe it. It paid the bills, helped me invest, and supported my charitable work, especially taking care of rescued cats and dogs. At one point, I was feeding close to 40 cats at home, and any pet owner knows how expensive that can be. So any financial improvement was more than welcome.
Everything was going well until it wasn’t. After the pandemic, I started noticing the drop. Fewer clients, less consistency. It was destabilizing, especially because I didn’t see it coming and I wasn’t prepared for it. I found myself worrying about bills because I wasn’t earning like I used to. And because of the number of rescued animals under my care, it felt almost impossible to scale back my monthly expenses.
It got to the point where I seriously considered leaving the province and moving back to Manila. As peaceful as life was here, Manila had more opportunities. The only problem was my rescued animals. I couldn’t just leave them behind. I tried reaching out to a local shelter for assistance, but they couldn’t offer any form of help. I felt stuck. Half of me knew I needed to adapt, and the other half wanted to find a way to save the situation.
I spent weeks going back and forth and was almost certain I would leave, start over, maybe even close the business and try something more stable. Then suddenly, just like that, a new surge of clients came in. It felt like the Universe stepped in at the last minute, and things started working again. I canceled my plans and decided to stay, but not in the same way. I knew I had to evolve.
So I did. I started offering sessions I had never done before, pushed my own boundaries, deepened my studies, and experimented extensively to discover what people truly resonated with. In the process, I came to understand my clients better and refined my offerings. It helped the business move out of that stagnant, almost complacent phase into something more alive and responsive to the times. Things stabilized again.
But a couple of years later, I found myself in the same situation once more. Client flow became unpredictable. Some months were good, others were painfully quiet. The inconsistency started to wear on me. I knew it was serious when I began availing installment plans for my credit card bills, something I had never needed before. One moment I was financially okay; the next, I wasn’t. It became a constant back-and-forth, making it difficult to make decisions. I felt like I was always adjusting, always reacting. I stayed, though, and worked twice as hard to keep things afloat. It was an incredibly stressful period in my life.
I didn’t fully understand what was happening back then until recently, when someone pointed out the astrology behind it. I realized that it was largely the manifestation of the seven-year Uranus transit in Taurus. Not only did everything make perfect sense in hindsight, but it also gave me hope that things were finally going to get better. With everything I know now, I can see the past seven years differently.
In retrospect, I don’t necessarily regret what transpired. While it put me in very uncomfortable situations, something I would not want to repeat, it also showed me the many ways money can flow into my life. It wasn’t just a time of financial growth, either. It was also when I became more financially literate and astute. I learned the ins and outs of banking, acquired credit cards, mastered the art of budgeting, invested in mutual funds, secured insurance, and learned how to file my taxes.
I see the Uranus transit through Taurus as the ploughing of a field before planting season. In agriculture, ploughing prepares the soil for new growth. It aerates the ground, buries weeds and pests, and brings nutrients to the surface. Looking back, that’s what the past seven years felt like for me. Difficult and disruptive, yes, but ultimately necessary. Now that the transit has ended, this part of my life feels more fertile, ready to support a new chapter of financial growth.
Now that Uranus has moved into Gemini, one thing is clear: its disruptive energy is no longer in my second house. This means less financial unpredictability. It is now moving into my third house, where it will begin to liberate the way I communicate with the world. Unlike the stubbornness of Taurus, Gemini is an air sign known for its adaptability and flexibility, so I imagine Uranus will feel more at home here.
When Uranus briefly entered Gemini between July and November of last year, I remember a renewed desire to learn. I had wanted to return to reading for years, but couldn’t seem to. It was as if I didn’t have the mental bandwidth. During that short window, however, I finished several books and went into a learning frenzy.
Today, I feel more liberated in how I write and express my thoughts. This blog is proof of that. I’ve been writing for quite some time now, but I’ve always struggled to find my real voice. My grammar was precise, but it felt dry, almost textbook-like. I couldn’t quite find that sweet spot. Now, I believe I can.
This transit also marks the beginning of my Uranus opposition, a major midlife astrological phase. The aspect becomes exact in 2029, when Uranus will stand 180 degrees away from its natal position. As an added note, my natal Chiron in Gemini (inner teacher and purpose) sits in exact opposition to my natal Uranus, and my natal asteroid Pallas (wisdom) sits at the final degree of Gemini. Both placements feel especially activated during this transit. It feels as though the next seven years will revolve around writing and teaching.
I’m no longer afraid of Uranus. The past seven years have shown me that disruption can also be a form of liberation. In the myth, Uranus was castrated by his son Cronus, and from his severed genitalia rose Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Even chaos can give birth to beauty.
Since Uranus will spend the next several years in Gemini, we’ll all experience this transit differently depending on where Gemini falls in our charts.
You also have Gemini somewhere in your birth chart. We all do. The difference lies in where it falls based on your birth time. Wherever Gemini sits in your chart marks the area of life Uranus will energize over the next seven years.
