Revolution Ahead
I’ve been having a hard time sitting down to write. As soon as I think about one point of focus, everything else that’s playing out right now grabs my attention and then I am scattered, pulled this way and that by the events of my day, the events of the collective day, the Supreme Court decisions, the administration at the helm of the U.S. chipping away at our rights as fast and furiously as they can before the midterms roll around in a little more than sixteen months. Meanwhile, glimmers of hope and progress shine like Mamdani’s win in New York.
I think about those in the new age and wellness communities screaming the word “sovereign” again and again as they literally voted against their beliefs, putting this group in office, this group that will do anything and everything they can to take away our freedoms, our expression, our ability to roam this planet and create the lives we desire.
The cruelest and most stupid people are now in charge.
Uranus is getting ready to move into Gemini on July 7, 2025, ushering in the United States’ third Uranus Return, meaning Uranus is returning to the point in the skies where it was when the United States was born. The Return will last through 2033, when Uranus will then move into Cancer.
Uranus brings revolution to everything it touches. In Gemini, it will revolutionize our ideology, the way we think about ourselves, our structures, and the ways we interact and communicate. Pluto in Aquarius will feed the desire for deeper transformation of all of these structures, saying, “If it’s not going to benefit all of humanity, then it’s not on the menu.”
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius and Uranus was in Gemini at the same time was 1777-1779. Uranus entered Gemini in 1767, and Pluto made its move into Aquarius ten years later. This time, the opposite is true with Pluto beginning its move into Aquarius more than two years before Uranus moves into Gemini. This seems significant.
When the idea of the US was conceived, Pluto had yet to move into Aquarius, the sign that magnifies the needs of the collective as primary, and was still in Capricorn, which stresses the needs of the individual. The idea of the US was born with this Plutonian/Capricornian influence, and the revolution that followed cemented it into being. And while the US Constitution was written once Pluto had entered Aquarius, the Capricornian energy was the overriding principle that set the foundation of the document we have been working off of here for 248 years, with monied, white men at the top and everyone else beneath. Pluto was also in Capricorn on November 5, 2024, giving the “single issue voter” an exaggerated say that their one issue was much more important than everything and everyone else.
The United States of America has always been at war when Uranus is in Gemini.
The American Revolution began in 1775 and ended in 1783 (Uranus was in Gemini 1774-1782).
The American Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865 (Uranus was in Gemini 1858-1866.
The United States entered WWII at the end of 1941 - 1945 (Uranus moved into Gemini earlier in 1941 - 1949).
This time, Uranus moves into Gemini on July 7, 2025. It moves back into Taurus on November 8, 2025, and returns to Gemini on April 26, 2026, where it will remain until August 3, 2032, when it moves into Cancer. Uranus then moves back into Gemini on December 12, 2032, and settles into Cancer once more in May 2033. Our emotional bodies will then spend the next eight years processing the ideological revolution and events that came before as we revolutionize our home spaces.
Last night I was visited by two faeries in human form, Heather, my dear friend from high school, and her ten-year-old daughter, who were here on their annual summer visit from Los Angeles. They met me at Witchy Woman World Apothecary in Evanston. Before their arrival, a coven of gorgeous witches descended upon the space and enacted a ritual in front of the building. I joined them midway through and was enveloped in their fold.
My friends arrived right after the ritual was completed. We soon headed out for ice cream and returned with it to my home. The pack was ecstatic at this visit from friends from “home”. California will always be home to the dogs, as Chicago is home to Jon, Heather, and me. We had an ice cream party in celebration of our dog Zoey’s twelfth birthday, and then the ten-year-old and I retired to the bedroom with the pack to speak about faeries, timelines, the faerie planet, dimensions, the higher self, and the differences between the third and fifth-dimensional experiences while we snuggled the dogs.
“Oh, so all of the humans are turning into faeries?” she asked me as she integrated the concepts we had been discussing.
“Yes,” I nodded along, as she understood the idea of “The Return of the Faeries” without me completely spelling it out to her.
“And the new humans being born are more faerie than you or me?” she asked.
Again, I nodded as I explained that she was much more faerie when she was born than I was when I was born.
“The return of the faeries is upon us, and nothing is as it was before” - I first heard it in 2019, as I began to channel about The Faeries’ return.
I can think of nothing more beautifully revolutionary than us humans giving this planet to the faerie energy that exists within us all and letting this aspect of our consciousness lead the revolution.

I completely get that scattered feeling. As a creative who's now bouncing between writing and painting, I need ZERO interruptions to feel like anything is flowing. If Michael so much as pokes his head in, boom—creative day over. And yet I am totally allowed to interrupt myself (and I do, constantly). Somehow, that doesn't pull me out of the zone. I can fold laundry and mull over a sentence I just wrote without losing the thread. But when Hannah was little—a constant and beautiful interruption—I just redirected all that creative juice into making fabulous casseroles. Art in a different form.
True confession: I was in a Super Walmart today (only the 2nd time ever), wandering through 150,000 square feet of I don’t know what, just to find one small bottle of rubber cement. I stood there in aisle 17H, bay 2, row 13, just willing it to appear. And then I heard it—screaming, wailing, absolute feral frustration coming from a child nearby. And you know what? I felt him. I wanted to find that kid and say, “I completely understand. Same, buddy. SAME.” No one was stopping him, and I honestly envied that.
Because—ENOUGH already. The slow death of democracy, the Supreme Court circus, our so-called elected (but are they?) officials… The cruelty. The forceful suppression. The racism, sexism, all the damn isms. I want to scream and wail and throw a damn tantrum too.
But instead—I’ll keep writing. I’ll keep painting. And I’ll pour all that tantrum energy into revolting. The planets are aligned. Revolution is not only coming—it’s already begun.
Not gonna lie, this Uranus transit, given the history, does bring up fear and apprehension in me. I deeply hope this time won’t follow in the footsteps of the violence and bloodshed of the past. Given that, I extra appreciate the addition of the perspective of the Faerie energy in this round of revolution. That feels like a real balm and hope of getting to do this cycle differently.
