Astro Iris This week, July 7–13, is a big deal astrologically speaking. It kicks off with a major move: Uranus, the planet of surprises, enters Gemini ♊️ on July 7, starting a seven-year transit. Yes, you read that right—seven years, beginning on the 7th day of the 7th month. Talk about a cosmic triple-seven jackpot, whether we’re ready for it or not! 😄
This shift sets the tone for the week, plunging us into the wild, unpredictable energy of Uranus. I’ll dive deeper into this in a separate, detailed article with all the juicy potential scenarios. But fair warning: with Uranus in charge, expect the unexpected—the kind of plot twists that make you go, “Wait, what just happened?!” 😳 It’s unpredictable, unimaginable, and everything in between. Buckle up! 🚀
On top of that, Uranus’ arrival in Gemini is already flirting with Venus, which has been chilling in Gemini since July 4. This cosmic meet-up happens in the 10th house of the chart, hinting at surprises in your career, public image, or reputation. Both planets are coming from the house ruling higher education, foreign cultures, long-distance travel, finances, diplomacy, and relationships. So, what’s on the horizon? Think new proposals, shocking public news (maybe even health-related with collective impact), or unexpected financial or romantic developments. Something big is brewing!
With Venus involved, love, money, and life’s pleasures are in the mix, but Uranus gets the final say on how this transformation unfolds.
July 7 isn’t just about Uranus. Other planetary aspects add personal flavor to the day. Mercury clashing with Lilith could stir up communication hiccups or aggressive exchanges. You might get news that makes your mind race or leaves you feeling restless. Pro tip: resist the urge to snap back with a snarky comment—it’s not worth it. If you do slip up, a quick apology can save your relationships, especially with those you hold dear.
Meanwhile, Venus connecting with retrograde Pluto encourages balance if you stay flexible and prioritize the greater good over personal indulgence. Stubbornness? Not your friend this week. This aspect could also be a golden opportunity for those seeking health solutions—keep an open mind.
Then there’s Mars and Lilith, pushing you to strive for perfection down to the tiniest detail. While that’s admirable, it can exhaust everyone around you. If you catch yourself obsessing over minutiae, take a breather and ease up—no need to stress yourself or others out.
By the end of the week, the Sun and the Future align, forging a deep connection between the divine (call it God, the Universe, or your higher power), family, roots, and origins. This could spark a trip down memory lane—maybe a visit to your hometown or a reflection on where you came from. It’s a reminder to honor the gift of life in its purest, simplest form.
