Uranus in Gemini - Tricksters, Twins & Re-making the World
Sunday 31 May 2026, 9:30 AM Central Time

When the planet Uranus – known as the Awakener – moves through the sign of Gemini, the twins, we enter the terrain of opposites, siblings, and conspicuous pairings; invention and innovation; and all forms of communication, from lofty ideas both old and new, shared in deeply-involved conversations, to gossip whispered over the fence between neighbours or through text messages in group chat. Gemini is ruled by the ever-resourceful Mercury (and Hermes), whose preference is the open road, to always be on the move. In the ancient world, piles of stones known as “herms” (after Hermes) were used as markers along roads and at boundaries, including crossroads. Herms laid along the way would help fellow travellers from getting lost. They also marked the way as having already been travelled, someone was here. Mercury is also a formidable Trickster, leading us on (or leading us on?).

In 2025-2026 we find ourselves both on the move and at a rather profound crossroads. This webinar will look at what happens when Uranus enters and moves through Gemini. Our herms will include various pairings of twins and siblings in mythology, including the siblings Prometheus (foresight) and Epimetheus (hindsight) – perhaps most important of all at this time, given that astrologers have identified rebellious, progressive, freedom-loving Prometheus as a particularly Uranian figure. We will also look at prominent Trickster figures, known to be disruptive and confusing and, importantly or improbably, the creators of culture. Additional herms in this webinar include a variety of chart examples as well as cultural and historical touchstones.

Webinar - A Brief Introduction to James Hillman's "Re-Visioning Psychology"

In the wake of his presentation of four Terry Lectures at Yale University in the late-winter of 1972, psychologist James Hillman set to work, turning those lectures into his 1975 book, “Re-Visioning Psychology.” The book, nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, covers a vast terrain, “from the Greeks through the Renaissance and Romantics to Freud and Jung,” by way of mythology, psychiatry, philosophy, and the humanities, with particular indebtedness to Jung. The book’s four parts lay out Hillman’s primary vision for soul-making via archetypal psychology, a psychology of soul that is based in a psychology of image and that starts in the processes of imagination.

“Re-Visioning Psychology” is a dense book packed with an almost exhaustive amount of insight, line after line, paragraph after paragraph, page after page, a text that reads at times like a poem, a story, or a reverie, often coming alive off the page with the richness, eloquence, and beauty of Hillman’s writing. This webinar will serve as a brief introduction to “Re-Visioning Psychology,” penetrating to its core ideas and showing how beneficial and applicable these ideas can be as a backdrop for astrologers. The book’s four chapters include: “Personifying or Imagining Things,” “Pathologizing or Falling Apart,” “Psychologizing or Seeing Through,” and “Dehumanizing or Soul-making.”
