The Electrifying Mars-Uranus Conjunction ⚡🔥
Hi there friend!
This week we've got a BIG planetary event happening — Mars meets with Uranus on Monday at 12.27am in Taurus. Mars and Uranus only conjunct about once every two years. (The last time they met was August 1, 2022.) ♂️
I'm going to give it to you straight: There's good news and bad news with this transit.
I will dive into the archetypes with more detail in the full post. But I want to be sure you're aware of an important element of this transit. 🚧
The Mars-Uranus conjunction can bring accidents.
While obviously we don't all have accidents each time these two planets meet, it's important not to be dismissive.
Beginning today and through Monday, be attentive when:
🔪 Using sharp objects
🚗 Driving your car
🧗 Climbing, hiking, etc.
📛 Doing electrical work or anything that's even remotely flammable
Basically, those mundane but dangerous things most of us do on autopilot.
>> The remedy for this energy is to practice mindfulness. Simply bringing greater attention to what you're doing and how you're doing it can be enough to mitigate the effects.
Again, you don't need to be afraid or worry; you do need to exercise caution.
If you're still feeling nervous — a typical symptom of Mars-Uranus energies — then definitely keep reading. ✨
To understand the essence of this transit, beyond just one potential "side effect," we need to dive into the planetary archetypes.
⚡ Uranus is the planet of liberation
Often called the "Great Awakener," he gives flashes of insight that lead to new ways of thinking and being.
Sounds pretty good right?
Well, unfortunately, Uranus usually bestows his gifts by "disrupting the system." Think electric jolts rather than gentle epiphanies. 😮
While the long-term effects of Uranian energy can definitely prove liberating, the short-term effects often suck. A lot. Even if and when you know it's for the best.
>> If you're not yet able to really see a situation for what it is, Uranus will extend the gift of clarity. He's the flash of lightning in the darkness, illuminating what you couldn't previously see.
🔥 Mars is the planet of action
Mars really wants to express through movement. It's a very dynamic and energetic planet that thrives on adrenaline. He's forging his own path by following his desires without restraint.
I often joke that Mars wants what he wants when he wants it. And if he doesn't get it? Well then, he's going to throw a temper tantrum! 😤
That's because Mars doesn't just get angry, he becomes fully enraged when his ability to authentically express himself with complete sovereignty is stymied or stifled in anyway.
>> Be on the lookout for some anger arising, especially as it relates to circumstances that make you feel entrapped or as though you are prevented from moving in the direction you crave. You're not going to put up with it no mo'! 🙅
♉ Taurus is the sign of self-reliance
Ruled by Venus, Taurus reflects back our value systems. What do you love? Who do you love? With whom and on what do you spend your time and money?
One karmic intention of this sign, what she wants more than anything, is to learn how to navigate the material aspects of life, independently and while adhering to her value systems. 💰
Taurus is sensual, practical, financially astute and loves our Mama Earth. She's also learning the important lesson of discovering her self-worth and inherent value.
She's stubborn as all get out too, because she's learning the importance of routine and consistency for harnessing personal power and accomplishing goals. 🐃
>> You could find yourself stubbornly insisting on a certain change or course of action — or actively maintaining a boundary for self-care.
When Mars and Uranus come together in the sign of Taurus, we're being given an opportunity to break free from any patterns or situations that aren't aligned with our personal value system.
You know how it is — very often a job, a relationship, a habit can become imbalanced or dysfunctional. We are either consciously able to acknowledge it or sometimes we're in denial.
⚡ Uranus liberates us from the inability to see reality as it is and provides an amazing opportunity to break free from the mental and material webs that entangle us so that we can finally make a necessary change.
🔥 Mars gives us the anger, the drive, the sheer power to MOVE and act in one's best interest.
No more sitting around and moping or waiting for a change to happen to you. No more complaining without taking action.
♉ Mars and Uranus in Taurus say: It's time to shatter what's become crystalized so that you can realign with your values and make progress toward your goals.
⚡ The AstroLogical Forecast ⚡
☀️ ♋ The Sun in Cancer makes a beautiful sextile to the Mars-Uranus conjunction from Saturday thru Monday.
We can definitely expect some fireworks when Mars catches us to Uranus this week. As you may know, water serves as a conductor of electricity.
But since the Sun in watery Cancer is in positive aspect to the conjunction, we're likely to see a positive distribution of the energy. Meaning, rather than a wildfire, we could get a prescribed burn.
>> If this week's energies get too intense, I highly suggest you ground yourself with water. Stay hydrated and submerge your body in water as often as necessary.
💜 ♌ On Thursday, romantic Venus moves into playful Leo through August 4.
Venus in Leo is a breath of fresh fire. Expect relationships to move from the home outdoors for fun and adventure.
It's a great time to pursue new creative endeavors or fall in love with some new form of art or music you've been wanting to explore.
>> Venus in Leo is passionate and generous. If you're single or coupled, schedule a spicy date!
⚠️ CAUTION! This Thursday and Friday, Venus will be in a tense opposition to Pluto.
This can bring interpersonal power struggles or inner conflicts about what you want or desire in relationships or in terms of how you want to use your resources.
>> Try not to take action until after the Mars-Uranus conjunction on Monday. Your outlook is likely to be different next week.
🧭 ♈ Now through Sunday, the North Node (Destiny Point) in Aries is in a harmonious aspect to Benefic Jupiter in Gemini.
This is another planetary alignment that can soften the disruptive nature of the Mars-Uranus conjunction. Why?
Because Jupiter's ensuring that we remain honest, faithful and optimistic about our future. We really do know what we want — even if we're afraid to admit it or muster the courage to pursue it.
Although the energy will accumulate throughout the week, you can expect that we'll be experiencing or playing out its effects for as long as required based on the changes it brings. (That's the case for any notable planetary event.)
Remember my friend, no matter what life throws your way, your connection to Divine is constant and true.

Please join me TOMORROW, Thursday, July 11, at the Astrological Guidance Circle.
In our digital age, it's a great way to connect 1:1 in a laid-back environment with like-minded souls. 🤩
Here's what Jenny had to say about the event:
"I love the Guidance Circle! It is a great chance to meet others who love astrology. Eileen is a dynamic facilitator who keeps us laughing while guiding us through a discussion on the week's topic. It's fun to get to know others and their charts!"
Plus, Inner Path has fantastic AC, so come out and enjoy good friends and stimulating conversation while also escaping the heat. 😉
>> This Circle is much less a class and much more of an informal conversation. We're a spiritually-oriented bunch looking to better understand ourselves using the ancient wisdom of astrology.
