Very interesting suggestion, though one I’m apprehensive about due to the trickster nature of money and Mercury. I dabbled in sports astrology a couple years ago and got on a streak correctly guessing the outcome - I was up to 19/20 correct or something. But when I started placing actual bets, my rate tanked. It felt like it shifted something in my practice and ability to accurately read the charts, for the worse.
Nonetheless, this is worth thinking with more, especially as Gemini is my second house. My finances and resources are going to go through some radical changes over the next few years whether I like it or not.
Regardless, we are certainly in the era already where accurate and useful information will be at a premium in a world that becomes absolutely flooded by low quality info (moreso than it already is)
Super content and much food for thought there Rowan .Having a clear mind and a sharp intellect is key for a successful and happy life which is what we all desire.

Prediction markets as a filter for the value of someone' information, analysis or conviction, and as a tool to distinguish between a content generated by AI or by a human being......... that is a very interesting perspective on uranus in gemini effect. Thank you very much for your inspiration that seems to give a foretaste of the uranus in gemini effect.
Such an innovative perspective about prediction markets. It'll be interesting to see what happens during the Jupiter-Pluto opposition, an alignment known as the gambler's curse. Some kind of overreach seems likely. The South Node in Leo suggests gambling will decrease. That makes more people lose jobs and have less money to gamble. However, that's a much shorter window than Uranus in Gemini. I think we're already seeing the unpredictable nature of Uranus in this communicative air sign as lately markets are being moved more by communications (from Trump, Powell, etc.) than fundamentals or technical analysis. I expect this to continue and for trading/investing to become even more volatile. Can I win a lot if I play the prediction markets? It will surely take money away from other traditional online betting stocks.
I'm wondering what your reaction is to the video that More Perfect Union just put out regarding prediction markets. Don't get me wrong, the concept of prediction markets I find quite novel, but ultimately it is gambling. One could argue that all trading is gambling, to a degree? Perhaps prediction markets sit somewhere between trading and casinos on the gambling spectrum. I am also highly distrustful of the CEOs of both Kalshi and Polymarket, they both seem like extremely greasy people, especially Mansour - he gives off Alex Karp vibes in terms of the conviction of his depravity. Plus the fact that both companies are highly backed by the Trump family, it's a bit too obvious for me.
Perhaps if there was a new company that came along and took a more transparent approach - if that was at all possible, I might be more inclined? Would seem like quite a practical and straightforward way to use astrology, but perhaps too good to be true.
I'm also incredibly confused about the countries you are allowed to use Polymarket in - on their own website it lists the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany and Italy along with a host of other nations as places where you are not allowed to make bets from, yet from the More Perfect Union video it seems like they are operating in the US. Saturn / Neptune and Uranus moving to Gemini casting confusion over the situation, or perhaps there's something I'm not getting.
Anyway thanks again for your work, it's a fantastic resource
Hey Rowan, you mentioned Sadhguru. You should know what he is accused of in his past before taking stock in his wisdom. He says many wise things yes, but there is something not right there..

Excellent topic and interesting will be the follow up!

Hi Rowan you did a reading for me, should have my email address
I like your thoughts, excellent piece.
Sounds like the 7 years tribulation
Just about to read this. Please God let it be good for what I am trying to accomplish. As a 3-fixed sign person, things have been rough.
