A New 7 Year Cycle Has Begun— Uranus Enters Gemini

The pace is speeding up, and you can feel it in your mind, your body, and the collective field. Uranus has entered Gemini, kicking off a long, intense cycle of accelerated communication, rapid technological change, and truth moving faster than many of us can integrate. I share why this transit matters, how it differs from the slower friction of Uranus in Taurus, and why “lightning meeting lightning” can feel exhilarating one moment and unsettling the next.

I also unpack the difference between predictive astrology and evolutionary astrology. Rather than treating transits like fixed fate, we explore them as invitations for soul evolution and free will. The same disruption can crack you open or overwhelm you, depending on your resourcing, your inner work, and your ability to stay grounded. With Uranus in Gemini, discernment becomes non-negotiable, especially as AI and algorithms make it easier than ever to sound credible without being embodied or true.

From there, we get practical. I talk about the nervous system as the ultimate technology for this era and how dysregulation can drive reactivity, avoidance, people pleasing, freeze, collapse, and the expand-then-crash cycle. You’ll get journal prompts to help you slow down, return to your body, and set an intention for the next seven years as a living ceremony. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who feels the acceleration, and leave a review so more people can find Body Wisdom Rising.

Welcome To Body Wisdom Rising

SPEAKER_00 0:16

Welcome to Body Wisdom Rising. I'm your host, Alyssa. We're living at a profound turning point in humanity, a collective choice point where old systems are dissolving, and many of us are being called to wake up, heal, and step into deeper alignment with who we truly are. On this podcast, we explore consciousness, healing, ancestral wisdom, and the initiations that shape our lives. We also explore how to navigate times of great change and what it means when healing begins to open the door to deeper questions. Who am I really? Why am I here? And how am I being called to serve in this moment of history? Here we talk about the collective themes unfolding in our world and how each of us can learn to meet them with greater awareness, embodiment, and courage. Because real transformation doesn't just happen in the mind, it happens through the body. If you're on a path of awakening, healing, remembering, and perhaps stepping into service, you're in the right place. This is Body Wisdom Rising.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

Maybe your mind is going a mile a minute or your life is just accelerating all of a sudden. I've definitely been experiencing that. There's a lot of reasons going on, you know, astrologically. But today what I want to talk about is one of the most significant astrological shifts of our lifetime. And I know that I've been saying that quite a bit on these episodes, but there's so many this year. That's why we've been saying that 2026 is a big year. You know, many people have been calling it uh the year of the closing door. I've heard that referenced uh by many people. Yeah. So I'm gonna break down exactly why. So stay with me because at the end of the episode, I do want to walk you through some tools, some journal prompts, a framework that's gonna be really supportive to help you be in your body right now and really understand what your nervous system has to do with all of this, because that is a big part most people are not talking about. So, what we're gonna cover today is we're gonna talk about Uranus entering Gemini today. So, what that actually means, why it is a big deal, and the historical context uh behind it, which is, yeah, pretty mind-blowing, pretty exciting stuff. And um really depends, I guess, well, how you look at it, whether that's exciting or not. I personally don't like to give into these doom and gloom narratives, though I also hold a really nuanced approach always. I don't believe in just this, you know, this love and light, and that we're just fully stepping into this golden age. I believe it's somewhere in the middle. And uh yeah, we're gonna talk about evolutionary astrology. So, what that is, why it's completely different from predictive astrology, and why that distinction matters so much for how you actually work with these transits. And we're gonna go deep on the nervous system. So, why I call it the ultimate technology and why a moment like this one, it is everything. I'm gonna give you practical journal prompts to actually work with this energy. And I'm also gonna share what I have available right now. I've had a lot going on, like I just mentioned. I've definitely been feeling this accelerated energy, and I have a lot of new offerings available right now. So I'll touch on all of that as well. Um, but I do have something that I am offering that I've talked about in previous episodes with uh Dr. Jesse Hansen. We are hosting a masterclass together on May 20th that's going to be extremely powerful. It's a nervous system mastery masterclass. And then I also have uh the calling, which I just uh opened the early bird um offering this week. So I'll talk a little bit about that as well. So let's first start off what is evolutionary astrology and why it's different. So before I go into the transit itself, I want to explain this just because I think it's really important context for everything we're about to talk about. There are different schools of astrology. So most people are familiar with predictive astrology. So this idea that the planets tell you what's going to happen. So your fate, your destiny, here's what's coming. And I just don't work that way. That's just not what I believe. Evolutionary astrology is different, it looks at astrology through the lens of your soul's evolution. So the idea that you came in with a specific blueprint, a set of karmic agreements, a soul map that is uniquely yours. And we do have free will, right? So the planetary transits aren't happening to you. They're creating a kind of like cosmic weather, is how you can look at it. So the energy is real, but what you do with it depends entirely on where your consciousness is, how much inner work you've done, and what you are available for. Carl Jung said the privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. And that's really the essence of evolutionary astrology, that to me at least. It's not here's your fate, it's here's the invitation. So when I talk about Uranus in Gemini, I'm not saying everyone is going to experience this the same way. This is not a blanket prediction. So the disruption may be universal. So that part is true, but whether it cracks you or it breaks you, whether it liberates your mind or overwhelms it, that's really where your inner work lives, right? So that's where your nervous system lives. And that is everything. So Uranus enters Gemini. So what is happening? So today, April 25th, Uranus officially enters Gemini. And this is uh a long transit. So no more retrograding back into Taurus. This is it. We are in it. So Uranus is gonna stay in this sign. It stays in signs for about seven years. So this cycle will run through May 2033. And the way I think about Uranus is it's this great disruptor, this great awakener. Its whole job is to shatter old rules and old paradigms and push toward freedom and individuality, but its energy is erratic. It's like a lightning bolt. It can create permanent, significant change in just a moment. And it can feel wildly exciting or deeply unsettling sometimes at the same time. I actually have uh Uranus conjunct my mid-heaven. So why my career path has just been very um erratic and disruptive, to say the least. Now, here's what matters about uh Gemini specifically. So Uranus was in Taurus for the last seven years, and those are actually two conflicting energies. So Uranus is fast and electric, and Taurus is slow and patient. So there was this friction, this grinding quality to the last several years. Like the revolution was trying to move, but it just kept hitting resistance. So Gemini and Uranus, they're both fast, both electric. So imagine that friction is lifting. So suddenly everything starts to accelerate more. The way information moves, the way our mind connects, the way truth travels, how you think, how you communicate, how you relate. So all of it is about to move faster than it ever has. So the purpose of Uranus is to shake things up, shatter the old, and encourage freedom and individuality. In Gemini, that lands specifically in communication, in thought, in technology, in how we perceive and share truth. So this is lightning meeting lightning. And I'm just going to give some historical context as well. So, um, because it really helped me hold these big transits. So the last time Uranus was fully in Gemini was World War II. So the atomic bomb was created. Before that, the Civil War, before that, the Revolutionary War. So every time, major technological breakthroughs during periods of profound upheaval. And each of those eras, the incredible technology and information was used in ways that were potentially destructive. So we don't want to ignore that pattern, right? But we also don't want to repeat it. This is where I talk about don't go into the doom and gloom, but we're also not just strictly entering this uh golden age where some people might see it as well, right? Um we we have to hold both and we do have choice. So the same revolutionary energy that once built bombs can now dismantle the structures that make violence seem inevitable. So the question isn't whether disruption is coming because it is, it's whether we use our voices, our minds, our capacity to connect as instruments of division or as bridges to collective evolution. So this is not a rhetorical question. This that is the actual choice that's on the table for the next seven years. And we have more power than we realize when it comes to the collective consciousness, every single one of us as individuals. And I want to also just touch on, you know, the shadow here because it's really important to name. So the shadow of Uranus and Gemini is the weaponization of information. So words becoming ammunition, algorithms and manipulating minds is one for sure, right? So just be really conscious and aware of what you are consuming. I have been really dialing this in, you know, really trying to be uh conscious of what I'm letting into my awareness. The speed of communication is really outpacing wisdom right now, like embodied lived experience. Everyone sounds like an expert right now, right? Like anyone can be with AI. How many people actually live and embody what they're teaching and what they're sharing? And that's something to really be conscious of. And that's something we can just pick up on, right? Like I truly believe that a soul that has been doing its work recognizes another soul that is also on the same path and doing its work, right? Like we can feel that resonance. So, more than anything, it's like don't let your intellect overpower your own intuition, right? So that's something to be conscious of, and that's something I'm really trying to, you know, really be aware of during these times. And I love, like I'm I'm a fan of, you know, technology. I'm a fan of um like intelligence and I'm an intellectual person. I have a Gemini moon, I have an Aquarius sun. So I've always loved information. I'm definitely a truth seeker in that way, but I'm also very much an experiential learner. And I make sure that I always embody what I'm sharing and what I'm teaching. I think that's first and foremost the most important thing. And really just continuing to engage in my own inner work, take a step back from all, you know, social media and technology at times and spend tons of time in nature. That's really important for me to really be able to hear my own inner voice. And for me, sitting in ceremony, you know, I'm gonna touch on that today too, because um, you know, I've shared in previous episodes that I'm a very, you know, ritual ceremonial person. I love going to sweat lodges regularly and I do sit in medicine ceremonies from time to time. And me really, what I've learned from sitting in ceremonies is like been so applicable to life. So, just a perfect example is we are really cautious before we enter into ceremony of what we're consuming and bringing into our awareness before we go sit in there, because that's what you're actually going to be bringing into the ceremonial space, right? So if we look at life like a ceremony, everything that you're consuming and taking in, that's really being um deeply ingrained in your subconscious. And that is going to impact how you know you see the world, how you show up, your perception, everything, right? So um in ceremony, we're really conscious of that before we go into ceremony. And then also one thing that, you know, I've definitely learned is really focusing on my own ceremony when I'm in there. So like going, going inward, not being pulled out or distracted by other people's ceremony and what they're going on, right? If someone's going through a hard time, not feeling like I need to go fix them and help them, that's their journey and that's their ceremony that they need to go through. And for me, too, just that practice of like staying focused on my breath, staying focused on my feet, on my spine, staying in my body, um, and just really being present with it and getting to a place of surrender. So even if the ceremony is hard and the lessons are tough, that has really helped me move through it in a really conscious way and to be able to really integrate the lessons that come through and I apply that through life. So it's like if I'm trying to resist life or I'm being pulled out of my own experience and distracted by what's going on online or on the news or in other people's lives and focusing more on that than my what I'm meant to do here and my own mission, then I'm gonna have a horrible experience and I'm gonna feel so disconnected and not gonna really feel like I got anything out of my own ceremony. But if I can, you know, stay present with what I'm experiencing, hold space for other people and what they're going through, like still being aware. It's like when you're in a medicine ceremony, you're still aware of what other people are going through and you're sending them love and positive attentions, but you don't feel like you need to fix them or you're not getting pulled out of your own experience and not actually going in and doing your own inner work. Like it all applies to life, which is why I love, you know, sitting in these ceremonies, why they've been so helpful for me, because it is applicable to everywhere of our life. Life is ceremony. And if we treat it that way, you know, it can be so profound because each of us comes in with a specific blueprint, specific, you know, karmic agreements. Whether we actually stay on path and stay on our mission is completely up to us. There are so many distractions, so many energy leaks that are here to pull us off of our path. And so our job really is to find our center when we do get pulled off path because we are human and we will get lost in the human experience. But it's to find our center again and focus. Because if you're listening to these episodes and you keep coming back, you have a mission here, you have a purpose. You wouldn't continue to come back to these episodes if you didn't, right? So you would would definitely have tuned out by now and would have left this episode and stopped listening. So everything that I'm saying, I know is gonna resonate with you because you are on the same path as me, right? We're all here to focus on our mission. And so, yeah, um, there's gonna be a lot of just truth fragmenting. It's gonna be harder to know what is truth with all these advancements going on and with just so much information coming at us at all angles. And um, how we decipher that is our own inner discernment. I always say when we talk about the word integration, it's being able to hold opposing um perspectives. That really is what integration is. And that's how we find that middle way, right? So, so just an example right now, even in politics, you can see they're so polarizing. So it's like there's the left versus right. But it's like if we hold those two perspectives together, a lot of what they're saying, it's like that's how we really find that middle path, you know, what that path would feel like um on either side, you know, and and really being able to sit in other perspectives. And that is how we find that middle path, right? What when I talk about Steiner's teachings, that's what he talks about, the middle path, the christi path. We've got these armonic energies, these luciferic energies. And then there is the Christian path, which is the middle path. It's it always comes back to that middle path, right? Being able to hold the tension of opposites. That is what integration is. And so that is where we find our wholeness, even like our our own shadow, right? Being able to hold both our shadow and our light. You know, we're not all pure goodness, you know what I mean? Like we we have shadow sides too. And I don't even like to look at them like they're bad. They're always here to teach us something, but we have to be able to hold both. Then I don't want to talk about, of course, the light as well here. So with these transits. So the light is a revolution in human consciousness itself. So our minds being set free, old beliefs collapsing without having to really need to force it. So thought patterns shifting a lot more quicker. New understanding arriving. So accelerated awakenings, I really truly believe that we're gonna see more of. And I've spoken to the shadow side of that, even right, these accelerated awakenings. Like I went through an accelerated awakening, can almost feel like a spiritual crisis if you don't know how to work with it. That's why containers to support people and working through this is so important. And Gemini at its best is the archetype of the child. So it's curious, it's open, it's living in a world of possibility, envisioning a future you haven't even fathomed yet. So that's the frequency we're being invited into. And the reality is the more connected you are to your own truth, the more you spend time with people and communities at feed your soul. And the more that you'll be able to ride these waves rather than get pulled under them. That becomes your source of sustainability. You're grounding as the world starts to shift around you. We are in co-creation with this energy. So we're not predicting the future, we're choosing which timeline we step into, where your focus goes, what you're cultivating inside yourself, the quality of your connections. That is going to determine so much. So just speaking to the soul evolution piece. So 2026 is a massive year, yes. Uranus and Gemini, yes. But none of this lands the same for every person. It depends on your soul's evolution. So it depends on the work you've already done, depends on where your consciousness actually is. And this isn't about spiritual hierarchy, but it is about the fact that the same lightning bolt hits differently depending on where you're standing, you know, whether you're standing in open field or whether you're already grounded. Someone who has been doing the inner work, so the healing, the shadow integration, the nervous system work, the somatic practices, psychospiritual work, they're going to experience this era very differently than someone who hasn't. You know, we do reach certain landmarks on our journey, not because we're better, but because we may be more resourced, because we've built a container that can actually hold what this era is bringing. And that all goes back to this idea of life as a ceremony, right? And in ceremony, you don't just show up and let things happen to you. You do bring intention, you do bring presence, you do have to practice the art of surrender. You get to be a conscious participant in how it unfolds, not in control of everything. So it's not about trying to control it, but you're not powerless either. You have more power over how your ceremony goes when you step into it consciously. So that's the invitation of this era to become so rooted in yourself that the acceleration serves you. And let's talk about how the nervous system is really this ultimate technology. So we are entering a seven-year cycle of acceleration, disruption, information overload, rapid change. And your nervous system, the actual biological system in your body that processes safety and threat is the thing that determines whether you thrive in this or collapse under it. I call the nervous system the ultimate technology. That's the, and this is why. So somatic work, body-based healing, is really having a moment right now. You're seeing it everywhere. And I think that's real and important. But I also want to name something that the online space is full of watered-down versions of things right now. So with AI, anyone can sound like an expert. Anyone can put together language that sounds credible. And there is a lot of somatic content floating around that hasn't been fully embodied, hasn't come from someone who has actually done the work in their own body and sat with enough people to know what's real. And I say that not to be dismissive at all, but because I think discernment matters more now than ever, especially under Uranus and Gemini, where information is going to be moving even faster and it's going to get harder to tell what's real and what's not, right? So your body actually knows the difference. Your nervous system knows. And that's part of what makes this work so important. For me, that's why I'm bringing Dr. Jesse Hansen into this work. So Jesse is genuinely one of the most respected voices in his field. He's been a pioneer in this work. He has the credentials, the research background, the clinical experience. And more than that, he has done the personal work too. So he embodies what he teaches. And the fact that someone with that level of rigor and depth sees me and sees this work, sees what I'm building, that means so much to me. And if you listen to our episode together, you know what that conversation, yeah, was really like between us. I share that in the show notes if you haven't heard the episode that I did. On his TV show. And that's why we're hosting this masterclass together on May 20th, which you'll also find in the show notes. You know, when I talk about the nervous system, I often, you know, say that it blocks us often from the things that we want most, right? So if a certain level of, say, visibility, of love, success, or change was once associated with threat, our system will keep pulling us back toward what's familiar, even if familiar feels like suffering, because familiar is survival. So when the world is accelerating the way that it is right now, a dysregulated nervous system doesn't rise to meet it. It shuts down. It's it can cause us to, you know, either go into fight or flight, freeze or collapse. It reaches for old patterns, whether that's overgiving, whether that is, you know, people pleasing, whether that is reactivity, whether that is avoidance, whether that's the collapse after the expansion, right? Where we we start to move towards something and then all of a sudden shut down. That self-sabotage, self-sabotaging patterns, the resistance to being seen right when the moment calls for it, these aren't mindset problems that we have to work through, right? These are it's our nervous system. This is why somatic work matters so much right now. It is the foundation. Your nervous system is a container that everything else runs through. Your clarity, your communication, your capacity to hold a vision through chaos, all of it lives here. So if you want to ride this wave instead of being pulled under, your nervous system really is, you know, the foundational starting point. So definitely join me for that workshop. Anyone who joins too will get$200 off of the calling, which is the new container that I'm offering starting in September, which is all about an initiation into your soul's purpose, your soul's calling, your soul's blueprint, which you can also find more information in the show notes. And I also want to just talk about how to actually work with this energy. So take these journal prompts and actually sit with them. So you can light a candle, treat it like a ceremony, because it is. And so the first one is where in your life has information been moving faster than your body can integrate? Where are you consuming more than you're able to digest? Sure, all of us can relate to that one. I can definitely relate to that one. You know, that's something that I've been really noticing is I get overwhelmed if I'm taking in too much information at once. And sometimes it's hard not to, right? Like it's just being sent at us at all directions. And it's really important, you know, even after listening to a podcast like this, sit down and reflect, like do these journal prompts. That's why I include them because reflection is really important. Like actually sitting and going inward and contemplating on um what you just heard, doing the practices that I offer too that will help you actually integrate and embody what I'm sharing. So that is the work, right? Number two is what old belief system or way of thinking is starting to crumble? What is starting to dissolve for you? Number three, where are you using your voice as a bridge or where are you using it as a wall or towards division? And I think that's really important right now because I feel like a lot of people are using it towards division. And it doesn't mean you have to agree with everything or have a completely neutral approach. That's not what I'm saying. You can still have an opinion on something, but also hold space for another person's perspective. It's not like this um good versus evil that we're seeing so much of right now in the world, right? Like just pointing the finger and blaming. And um that really is victim perpetrator consciousness. And I'm gonna do a whole episode on victim perpetrator rescuer consciousness because that is actually what's keeping us stuck in these lower frequencies. We have to move past that. You know, it doesn't mean excusing behavior at all. And that's not what I'm saying, right? It doesn't mean excusing bad things. And I do believe that there is an evil in this world, of course, but I have a different perspective on evil. You know what I mean? It's like the planets that we're talking about, these transits. We can choose how to work with them. We can choose, because everything is a mirror. We can choose how we're actually going to work with these energies. Number four, what does my nervous system actually need right now to feel safe enough to receive what this era is offering? What does my body need? Feel into that. Get out of your head, get into your body, focus on your breath, focus on your belly, focus on the base of your spine, your feet, feel into it. The answer won't come to your mind when you're thinking, it'll come when you drop into your body. Number five, if I treated the next seven years as a ceremony, what intention would I set for how I want to move through it? And, you know, this approach to life changes everything when you start to treat life like it's a ceremony. There's a book too that I was just talking to one of my um one of my clients that I support. We were talking about the book The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Scoval Shin, really good one, classic. Um, I haven't read it in a while and I have to go back to it, but it reminds me of this, right? Like reality is our mirror, and how do we actually become an active participant in that rather than being taken over by it, right? Being taken over by the medicines in our ceremony, right? Like, how do we actually work with them? It's being a conscious participant. It all comes back to being a conscious participant in our reality, right? And um, yeah, so sit with those. They really will tell you a lot. And so I want to talk about my offerings too. So I already shared the masterclass on May 20th. So Jesse and I are gonna go deeply on this how your nervous system is either your greatest asset or your biggest block right now. So the science, the somatic practice, the application. This is not surface level content. And so what we're gonna do is I'm gonna open up the first 30 minutes, really talk about these collective themes that many of us are moving through, these collective shifts. Jesse's gonna take us through a full one-hour workshop. We are both gonna do a 30-minute QA, then I'm gonna take you through a somatic experience journey. If you attended my breath work, you know how powerful that was. So this one's gonna be different. And everyone will receive the recording after. So if you can't make the live, you will get the recording. On top of that, I will be emailing out three powerful meditations. And um, you can actually get a free meditation right now. If you actually go down to the show notes, I have one available for you. Anyone who's on my email list already received that free meditation that I sent out this morning. But um, if you're not on my email list, you can get that free meditation just so you can actually feel what my meditations are like. So everyone who attends the workshop will be getting three meditations and a workbook. On top of that, you will also get$200 off. So I'll be sending you a discount code for$200 off of the calling, which starts in September and runs to June. It's a nine-month initiation. Early bird pricing is open right now, but that closes in August. So this is not a personal development program or mindset work or another certification. It is a real descent. It is initiation into your soul's assignment. You'll also get my calling um app. So how to actually work with your cosmic blueprint, and you'll be able to see the transits that you're moving through this year over the next um nine months that we're stepping into, also the past six months, because you're still integrating those lessons, right? So you'll have all of that included as well. Really powerful nine months together. We'll be doing three live calls every single month. I'll be bringing in guest experts. One of the calls will be ceremony, one of the calls will be experiential practices, another call will be the teaching for that month. We'll be working with the moon cycles, the wheel of the year, your own astrological cosmic blueprint. This is a depth work, a lot of depth psychology, psycho-spiritual work, somatic work, all in one, very holistic, very important for this era we're stepping into. You'll be connected to just an incredible, like-minded community of women. There will also be a whole library of teachings and meditations included as well. So if you're in the middle of a death and rebirth, or you have this yearning that won't go away, that you know that you're here for something more, and maybe you've outgrown other spaces that just really can't see the spiritual reality of what you're moving through. This is for you. So it is the nine-month container for someone who's ready to really step into their calling, step into what they came here to do, step into this path of individuation and self-sovereignty. Another thing I also have is my in-service program, which is a one-on-one mentorship for women ready to step into the work that I'm doing, right? So maybe you are already a practitioner, a healer, a coach, and you're wanting to step into more visibility, bringing your offerings into the world in a bigger way. You can find more information on that in the show notes as well. And then also, Jesse and I did announce our retreat last week that we're hosting in Costa Rica in January. And we already have um, there's it's already one-third full. So if that is something that you're interested in as well, all the information is in the show notes. It's gonna be powerful seven days, life-changing. So definitely check that out. And I would recommend to book your call if you are interested sooner uh than later. As um, yeah, it was filling, it's filling faster than we expected, which is incredible, positive omen for sure. So, and I just want to close and leave you with this. So we are at a turning point in human history. Yes, that's true. And that can feel at times a little overwhelming to hold, but it's also just an incredible gift to be incarnated right now, to be here for this. And something already within you, this is your moment to really step into who you came here to be, what you came here to do. World is shifting, it is changing. Who do you want to become in this process? Drop into your body, root into your truth, tend to your nervous system like it's sacred because it is, and surround yourself with people who feed your soul and trust that the work you've already done has been preparing you for exactly this. You have more power over your ceremony than you realize. Love you all so much. Thank you for being here. Um, links for everything is in the show notes. Hope to see you there and see you soon. Love you, fam.
