Hello Aquarius, welcome to your Gemini season reading from
Embodied Astrology. My name is Renee and you are
listening to a general reading for all of your Aquarius
placements. That includes your Sun, Moon,
rising, and anything else you might have in Aquarius.
And this is a reading for the period of time between May 20th
and June 21st and 2026. As always with every reading,
take a works and leave the rest. Not everything is for everyone,
so make the meetings that are most meaningful for you and
listen through the lens of your own intuition.
All right, Aquarius, Well, Gemini season is an exciting
season for you. It is a season that brings
energy into a fellow air element sign, and it brings energy into
a place in your chart that is probably the most fun place in
the chart. This is your solar 5th house.
This is the place of romance, love, playfulness, your favorite
pastimes and hobbies. This is where you access your
pleasure and your leisure and your recreation.
All of your creative energy wells forth from this place.
And creative energy, of course, includes things like art or
dancing and self-expression. It also includes spicy energy
romance. It is a place that can be very
romantic. It's not necessarily a place of
partnering, though. Gemini is an energy of
connecting and meeting and as we move into the season there is a
lot of new energy in this part of your chart due to the
presence of Uranus. Now in modern astrology, the
outer planet Uranus, Uranus, Uranus, however you like to say
it, is it actually associated with your sign?
In traditional astrology, your sign is ruled by the planet
Saturn. In modern astrology your your
sign is associated with planet Uranus.
I think both planets have important significations for
Aquarius because Aquarius as an energy is both Saturnian in the
sense that you're a fixed sign, you're fixed air.
There is a lot of structure inside of the air element that
Aquarius presides over, and fixed air can be a real sense of
dedication and fortitude and integrity.
There can also be a sense of stubbornness and long
standingness in terms of the air element.
And the air element is the element of thought and
consciousness and language and communication and intelligence.
And the Saturnian fixedness of Aquarius is the ability to
focus. It is sometimes the inability to
change one's mind, but it's also the fortitude that is required
to actually deeply change inside of consciousness.
And you may have heard something like it.
It takes 270 iterations of doing the new thing before you build a
new neural pathway. So for example, let's say you're
trying to change a habit. Let's say you are a smoker and
you want to quit smoking. You need to choose to blow
bubbles instead of smoking a cigarette 270 something times
before. That will be an innate reaction
and response and something that you're like, Oh yeah, that's the
thing that I'm going to do now. And so Aquarius has a lot of
fortitude. It has a lot of focus, it has a
lot of concentration. It has a lot of capacity to
stick with something and persevere in terms of its
concentration and analysis and things like that.
It can get stubborn. It can get stuck in things.
And this is a Saturnian quality as well.
And so Uranus then is associated with Aquarius in the sense of
Aquarius is also about breakthroughs.
It's about innovation, invention, and having aha
moments. And I think part of what
Aquarian people get to experience in their lives is the
experience of having breakthroughs.
And breakthroughs are often precipitated by breakdowns.
A lot of times, frustration is the thing that actually leads to
the breakthrough. And so the feeling of being
compressed and being up against a wall or something like that is
sometimes the alchemical ingredient that leads you to
figure out how to get around the wall or how to blow it up.
And uranium energy is all about blowing shit up.
It is about out with the old and in with the new.
It's about innovation, experimentation and liberation.
Now it has been about a month that Uranus has been in Gemini.
It entered into Gemini at the beginning of Taurus season.
It had a brief ingress into Gemini in 2025, just a couple of
months between June, July and October or so.
It only made it to the very first degree and then it
retrograded back into Taurus. But now it's in Gemini and it
will be there until 2030. 3. So we have about 7 years of this
influence and unless you are in your 80s, this is the first time
that you will have experienced this transit.
It's probably the only time you're going to experience this
transit. Uranus has an 84 year orbit
around the sun and it's not every day that we get to
experience Uranus in Gemini. Now, the historic precedence for
Uranus in Gemini bring themes of big disruption, innovation, and
radical technological especially evolution And the technologies
of communication are definitely important when we're thinking
about Uranus in Gemini. But also the ways that we as
commutative beings are connecting and engaging with one
another often go through a lot of profound shift and change in
these periods of time. And as Uranus has come into
Gemini, it is also an aspect to Pluto.
And Pluto is currently in Aquarius in your sign.
Pluto has also somewhat recently arrived given that it has almost
250 year orbit around the Sun. It's just come into your sign in
the last couple of years. And Uranus is also an aspect to
Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and they both have recently come
into Aries at the beginning of this year.
And so this presents us with a unprecedented and very powerful
alignment of the outer planets. And we are living in times of
chaos and creativity and revolution and evolution.
And the old ways of being humans and existing on planet Earth are
rapidly changing and new ways of existing and feeling into our
humanity are rapidly emerging. So why am I mentioning all of
this collective stuff in a reading?
That's for you, my Aquarian friends.
Well, this outer planet energy that is very much associated
with your sign is aspecting another outer planet energy that
is in your sign. And they're both aspecting other
planet, outer planet energies that are in a place in your
chart that has a lot to do with how you think and how you
communicate and where everything is taking place in the Aquarius
charts are deeply personal places.
They have to do with your body, with your creativity, with your
communication, with your essence, with your
self-expression, and with your mind.
Outer planet energy is about collective energy.
It is about large scale shifts inside of generations and
culture and society. And we are all part of shaping
culture and society. And you are here as part of a
generational cohort. And I'll just say that
regardless of how old you are, if you're alive right now, let's
just think of everybody alive as part of the same generation.
We are all here for this very powerful, pivotal moment on
planet Earth. And you are here for a reason.
I'm just going to, I'm just going to put it out there,
Aquarius. I think that you have a purpose
and I think that your purpose is unique.
I think it's unique to you. And I'm reading now for a couple
thousand people who will TuneIn with this reading.
So take what works and leave the rest.
But each and everyone of you has a unique purpose.
And the 5th house, the place where Uranus is now transiting,
is a place in your chart that has to do with your unique
purpose. It has to do with your
particular perspective and embodied experience.
It has to do with the ways that you are going to express
yourself. And your self-expression can
only come through you right there.
AI cannot do you OK like you're the only you that's ever going
to be out there, ever was or ever will be.
And it doesn't matter how similar human beings are.
There is something that is very unique about your blueprint, and
so as we enter into Gemini season, I think it's really
important for aquariums to be tuning in with their unique
blueprint and astrology is a great way to do that.
So I'll just take a moment and give a plug for Embodied
Astrology because at Embodied Astrology, we explore astrology
deeply through experience, through embodiment, and really
as a tool and technology for becoming more of ourselves.
We don't do hierarchical learning.
We explore all systems of astrology and there are a lot
and we play with it. And so in our membership spaces,
I teach a weekly class called Somatic Space.
It's on Mondays, 8:00 to 9:30 AM.
Pacific, but you can get the recording anytime.
We have chart reading, study groups on Thursday mornings, and
we also have member events in our membership spaces.
There's so much exploration of how do we use astrology to
understand our unique blueprint. I'm going to start a chart
reading cohort, A practitioner training this year, the last
weekend in August and Virgo season around August 28th.
That's a year long program. It's a foundations in chart
reading and it's a great way to tune in with your unique
blueprint. Astrology is a is an amazing
tool for really tuning in with what is most unique about you
and your strengths and your challenges, and we all have
them. So anything that you can be
doing right now as we move into Gemini season to help you access
your innate authenticity, your unique perspective, your pure
kind of embodied expression that's not being filtered for
anybody else's commodification or consumption.
You're not trying to perform for anybody.
You're just coming through as you.
Anything that can help you do that is something that I would
say it is time for you to get fascinated with and learn about
and play with and with Uranus in your 5th house, a lot of you
might be really interested in playing with technology.
Uranus and your sign Aquarius are both symbols of
technologies, and technology can definitely include AI and it can
definitely include, you know, computation or something like
that. But there are much older deeper
technologies that human beings can use like astrology or mind
body attunement practices, tracking the seasons and cycles,
learning to communicate in subtle ways, etcetera.
That I think some of you are really interested in because
this influence is wanting to wake you up to new ways of
experiencing and creating and expressing.
OK, so those are some big picture themes for Uranus in
Gemini and in your 5th house. I will also say that this is a
great period of time for Aquarians to do things
differently romantically. And when it comes to your
pleasures, you might have some new and different kinds of
interests that are starting to pique your fancy.
Some of you may also be really interested in new kinds of
creative expression. And this doesn't necessarily
have to do with technology at all.
It could be like all of a sudden you just really want to take a
dance class and you never danced in your whole life.
And I'm just going to say that any kinds of instincts or
impulses to do something new, especially if it's fun and
playful and self expressive, is so good for you right now.
So please, please, please do it as we enter into the season.
Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, has already entered Gemini about
a week before Gemini season begins.
And then Gemini season begins, and Mercury and the Sun are both
making all these aspects to the outer planets.
I just mentioned all of them, and they're also aspecting the
lunar nodes. These are the eclipse points.
And throughout Gemini season, we are in the midpoint between
eclipses and there's a lot of energy kind of like pinging back
and forth between the outer planets and the eclipse points.
And so this is a period of time where there is a kind of rapid
acceleration of frequencies rippling through the collective
atmosphere. A lot of people are agitated
right now. There is a kind of agitation in
the air element. Agitation activation can
influence activism and agitating in the kind of larger collective
spaces. We are living through a
revolutionary period of time. There are a lot of people who
are wanting to do some revolutionary kinds of things.
Aquariums are known for being revolutionary kind of people.
So I don't know what you're up to out there aquariums, but
maybe let me know in the comments.
Like what's your role in the revolution?
There is a a social change artist activist named Deepa
Ayair who has this map, the social change ecosystem map.
It's a really beautiful map of like, what's your role in social
change? And this is like roles in the
revolution, right? A lot of us think about
revolutionaries as being out on the front lines and being
really, you know, loud or disruptive or something like
that. But revolution solutionaries
need to eat, and people have kids who need care.
And there's always a need for joy.
There's always a need for resourcing, for taking care of
our bodies, for taking care of our minds, for taking care of
our spirits. There's a need for strategy and
logic and mapping things out. There are so many roles in the
evolution of our times and aquariums have a really
important role right now. And I feel that as we move into
Gemini season, a lot of you are really trying to find your your
place in things and you're thinking about where do you want
to be and how do you want to be connecting with people.
There's a lot of emphasis and influence for you right now when
it comes to what stimulates you and what captivates your
imagination and your intelligence.
Aquarians are known for being highly intelligent, and I think
that a lot of you are wanting to flex and experience your
intelligence in new in different ways.
This may mean that you're looking for new and different
types of environments or you are wanting to push the boundaries
of your conversations a little bit.
Some of you are finding confrontation and conflict in
places where you may not have found it or experienced it so
intensely before. And I think that this has to do
with a kind of more increased level of what feels like self
determination emerging for you and this sense of needing to
express yourself authentically and having your authentic
expression emboldened and activated right now by the
presence of all these outer planets.
Now, as we move into the month of June, there is a full moon on
actually the last day of May. So on May 31st, there's a full
moon in the sign Sagittarius. Sagittarius holds a place in
your chart that has a lot to do with the bigger picture, the
hopes and dreams and wishes that you have for the future.
It also is a place in your chart that corresponds with your sign.
It's the 11th place for Aquarius, and Aquarius is the
11th sign. And so this is a place in your
chart that brings you into relationship with collectives,
with communities, with groups, with friends.
It's also a place that really stimulates your big picture, big
systems kind of thinking. And this is a full moon.
I feel for a lot of you that is helping you see a bigger picture
and get a larger perspective on some things that might be
happening for you personally, but also within the larger
world. I feel that this sensation of
like really needing to stimulate your mind in new and different
ways is very important right now.
A lot of you are feeling frustrated within the confines
or what feel like confinement or boundaries of the status quo of
your life. And I think you want something
bigger. And I don't know what that
means. It could mean that you need to
travel or you want to move. Some of you want to speak a
different language. Some of you are speaking
different languages because as you are educating yourself or
you're learning a lot or you're learning about new concepts or
something like that. But there is this sense of
needing to push out into what's beyond your familiar and beyond
your known. And then as we move into the
month of June, there's a kind of increased focus for you to
attend to what is maybe more known and more familiar in your
day-to-day in order to change something.
So the month of June is bringing us into the beginning of a
Mercury retrograde cycle. At the beginning of any
planetary retrograde, we have what some astrologers call the
retro shade, and this is when a planet is moving direct over the
area of sky that it will retrograde back on later.
So Mercury is in its retro shade from June 12th until the 29th.
In the sign of Cancer between 16 and 26° Mercury will be
retrograde from June 29th until July 23rd.
So the majority of Cancer season.
But in Gemini season, Mercury is preparing for that retrograde.
What this tells me is that there is this feeling of needing to
stretch beyond the limits of what's known for aquariums.
But in order to do that, some kind of preparation needs to
happen and you need to adjust the details of your day-to-day
life. I think a lot of you are trying
to figure out how to do this, and this feels like a deeply
internal and actually quite emotional process for some of
you. Because I think that for a lot
of you there is a feeling of needing to let go of certain
kinds of attachments and bonds. Now, this could be
relationships, this could be material possessions, this could
be habits that you have. It could be like letting go of
ways that you have been for a while and needing to change your
habits, change your schedule, change your rhythm, etcetera.
And in order to do that, you have to like work with your
resistance or you have to work with your fear, your insecurity
or something like this. But it does feel like there's a
kind of emotional process that you need to go through over the
course of the next 6 to 9 weeks in this retrograde cycle to help
you prepare for whatever it is that you're trying to do.
And over the course of the next several seasons, I'm going to
say from Gemini into Virgo season.
And I will also say that I'm pre recording for you today, May
8th, all the way through Virgo season.
So from the midpoint of eclipses until the next eclipses, because
this is a powerful period of change and from Gemini to Virgo
season, everybody's in this kind of realignment readjustment
process. And for you, Aquarius, this is
super tangible. This is in the material of your
life, It is in your responsibilities, it's in your
it's like your chores, like all of the functional pieces of your
life. And Aquarius is a sign that even
though a lot of people, myself included, a lot of astrologers
will talk about Aquarius as being sometimes detached.
Aquarius is also a very relational sign and
relationships mean a lot to Aquarians, even if sometimes the
outer world doesn't know that. Aquarius really works on
relationships, I think and like thinks a lot about what it is to
be connected and and bonded. And so there's something that I
feel like a lot of you are doing that is about your relationality
and kind of like working with your bonds, working with your
connections, trying to figure out who do you want to be
connected with and how and how do you craft and change the
quality of your relationships. There is a new moon in Gemini on
June 14th, and this new moon coincides with an activation of
the lunar nodes and the planet Uranus.
So it feels like there is again, a high degree of changeability
that's happening right now. And for aquariums, I feel that
this is a period of time when a lot of you are really thinking
about your resources. This definitely means your
finances. It also means your time, your
energy, your attention. What do you have that needs to
change and what do you have that can help you change?
I think that there is a kind of feeling around this new Moon of
putting pieces in a puzzle together and like figuring out
how it's going to happen. And then the relational theme
continues to also kind of unfold simultaneously with this.
So as Mercury enters its retrograde shadow June 12th, as
we have the new moon, June 14th, Venus is also entering Leo, your
opposite sign. And right away Venus is going to
be making aspects to all the outer planets that I was
mentioning as well. And that's happening between
June 13th and 17th or so. And so during that period of
time, basically the last week of Gemini season, there is
something that's going on for aquariums in your relational
dynamics. And I think that a lot of you
again are going through some kind of experience of feeling
that your value systems are changing, your preferences are
shifting, your love nature is also shifting.
And so that includes lovers and partners, of course, but also
friends and family. The way that you want to express
yourself, the way that you're trying to take care of yourself
as a relational person is really shifting.
And one thing that I want to say is that a lot of times on the
precipice of change is when the thing that we're trying to
change becomes the best kind of like, like I'll, I can say like
in my experience of moving, right, like moving from living
in one place to not living there anymore, I might go through a
whole period of feeling like I don't want to live somewhere,
you know, I'm ready to go, but then I'll get ready to move.
And right before I move is when I love the place the most.
It's like, oh, I love this restaurant and oh, I love that
park and look at all these great people who are here and Oh my
gosh, it's so beautiful. Or something like that.
And it's almost like the universe wants to test you a
little bit on what kind of change do you really want?
And so I feel like something is happening for aquariums as we
move from Gemini into Cancer season that is kind of like
about your nostalgia. It's about like the things that
feel familiar and known and cozy and the longing that you have
for something that is unknown and as of yet untested.
And you're in this kind of funny, like repatterning space
where the new pattern hasn't yet emerged, but the old pattern
hasn't also yet quite let go. But they're both starting to do
their thing. And so that brings me back to
the place that I began, which is breakdowns sometimes lead to
breakthroughs. I think they often do.
And I think the Gemini season for aquariums is a really
interesting sensation of tension that is bringing you towards a
breakthrough. And you might have some
breakdowns along the way. There might be like some
frustration, some places of like anxiety or unknown or things
like that, that you just have to kind of go through.
You have to experience it. You have to let it condition you
and, and temper you and like move you into this new thing.
OK. Does that resonate for you,
Aquarius? If it does, let me know in the
comments or let me know what you're experiencing out there.
I do want to pull a card for you from the luminous void to close
out your reading. Before I do.
I also want to tell you a little bit about what's coming up at
Embodied Astrology. I already mentioned my Monday
classes and our chart reading study groups and our member
events. All great things to check out.
We also have a monthly series that's happening right now on
the 4th Tuesdays of every month that is led by Aziz Bisanz.
Aziz is astrologer, an artist and an activist, and they are
leading a series on an initiation into spiritual
warriorship, working with the energies of Saturn and Neptune
in Aries. Now Saturn and Neptune are
currently transiting your third house.
This is where Aries lives for the Aquarius solar charts.
And this is a place of your mind and communication.
And when I'm talking about this feeling of kind of needing to
push out against the boundaries of what's known and maybe
finding yourself in spaces of conflict or charge where you are
like wanting to experience something that's different and
you might be wanting to change things and actually change other
people with your communication or something like that.
Saturn and Neptune transiting the 3rd house can definitely
lend to a feeling of world building possibilities in the
realms of communication and conversation in your mind.
But these possibilities are also coming with significant
challenge and a need to focus and concentrate and be
determined. So Aziz's series could be very
supportive for you because they're bringing in guest
facilitators from all around the world, from various sites of
resistance, people who have met colonial occupation and forces
of authoritarianism and fascism with creativity, with community
powered resistance, and honestly with a lot of joy and
resilience. And this is a series to really
help us all feel into the call for spiritual warriorship in
these times. We also have a new monthly
series starting in July with Alicia Mauji.
The dates are yet to be determined, so I'm not quite
sure which day of the week it's going to be, but it'll be the
first week of every month. And she's going to be working
with Jupiter in Leo. And again, Leo is your opposite
sign. Jupiter will be entering Leo at
the end of June, and then it will be there for an entire
year. Aquarius, this is really good
news for your relationships. Jupiter in your opposite sign
means abundance and opportunity and good luck and gifts coming
to you from other people, especially when you tap in with
your creativity and when you tune in with your heart.
And in Alicia's series called the Solar Playground, she is
going to be helping us, TuneIn, with the energy of Jupiter and
Leo to give our biggest gifts and express ourselves
creatively. And this is going to lead to
attraction power for you, Aquarius.
So if that's something that you're interested in, definitely
check out that series in Gemini season.
On June 13th, we're going to have a guest event.
Alicia, who I just mentioned, will be facilitating a
conversation between myself and the astrologers, Alice, Sparkly
Cat and Blair Bogan. And we're going to be talking
about queering astrology, using astrology to help us live
creative lives and live lives that are outside of boxes that
include a lot of different things, spiritual paths,
creative paths, activism, etcetera.
A week later on the solstice on June 21st, I will be welcoming
my friend Erin Fogle, who is an amazing astrologer.
You might follow her on Instagram at the Queen of
Swords. And Erin's going to be helping
us, TuneIn with Chiron. Chiron is making a shift this
year from Aries into Taurus. And we're going to be just
feeling into the gifts of the wounded healer.
We have a pop up astrology school also that's going to be
happening in Cancer and Leo season again, dates our TBD.
But everything that's happening at embodied astrology and there
is a lot is mentioned in the show notes.
So definitely make sure to check them out and also check out your
2026 year ahead reading. Those are long detailed readings
that go through the big arc of 2026.
And I spend a lot of time talking about the outer planets.
And like I already said in this reading, we are living in
unprecedented times and the way that the outer planets are
configured is pretty powerful, pretty potent, especially for
Aquarius. So if you haven't checked that
out yet, you can find the link in the show notes below.
OK Aquarius, we are going to tune in with the Luminous Void
and we are asking into the void for support for Aquarius as we
move through Gemini season and we encounter these outer planet
energies, the beginning of Mercury's retro shade, and
everything that is coming for Aquarius.
What does Aquarius need to know? What can help them navigate
through these times most effectively, brilliantly, and
with the biggest, widest heart? OK, this is so funny.
You got this one. Sometimes tarot is just so
funny. So you pulled the five of wands?
I'm holding the card up in case you can't see the video.
This is a watercolor painting and you can see 5 little faces
and they're all making faces and there are 5 wands and sets of
hands that are holding them. So the five of wands is a card
that can definitely be about conflict.
And so you know, we were talking about Saturn and Neptune in your
third house. We've got Uranus and Gemini and
the Sun and Mercury aspect in Uranus and Gemini.
This is a place of self-expression.
Mercury is definitely about your speech.
All these outer planets. You know, also with Venus coming
into Leo, it can definitely turn up the volume on your spice.
Aquarius, like your your heat level is rising.
And I think that some of you aren't even trying to get into
fights. It's not like you're out there
intentionally activating or aggravating anybody.
But but you might be because I think some signs and Aquarius
might be one of them. You know, some signs actually, I
can counter conflict sometimes as a love language.
And it's like, okay, if you can fight with me, then you can eat
with me and then we can do other stuff too.
You know, like if you can meet me in my intensity, then I can
roll with you. And I feel like you're kind of
bringing this vibe right now, like you're not interested in
having the same old, same old conversations.
You're not interested in keeping things light and fluffy and
comfy. We are living in a time when all
kinds of fuckery and bullshit is happening and you want to,
you're an Aquarius. You want to be able to talk
about it, you know, and if somebody's talking about it in a
way that you disagree with, then you want to be able to tell them
that you disagree. Like there is this feeling of
Aquarius isn't here to take shit from anybody.
Pardon my French, but whatever. It's like this is the vibe
you're going to swear if you want to swear.
And one way that I like to think about the five of wands is also
as friction, right? And like the wands are a suit of
fire, and friction is how we start fire.
And sometimes a little bit of conflict can turn into strong
attraction. Like there can be this sense of
playfulness also in the ways that we argue.
And in some of the traditional representations of the five of
wands, you actually see five kids like, you know, play
fighting with wands. And so there is this sense of
like creative competition or like dynamic collaboration that
can come in with this card. So what I want to encourage you
with to close this reading for Gemini season is to really feel
into dynamic friction in Gemini season, to feel into the places
where your differences of opinion, differences of
experiences, perspectives, etcetera with others like rub in
certain ways that might not be fully like easy or pleasurable
all the time, but it gets some heat going.
And in that heat, notice what you want to do, right?
Heat is creative energy. So if there's conflict, then ask
what is the creative outcome of this conflict?
How can this conflict help us to understand each other better?
How can it lead us to a more dynamic evolutionary outcome?
OK, so I'm going to leave it there.
I hope any or all of that feels supportive or helpful for you.
If you enjoy this reading, Aquarius, please do like,

If you're watching on YouTube, consider hyping the video.
Thank you so much Aquarius. I appreciate you.
I'm wishing you all the best in Gemini season and beyond.
Bye for now.
