We can conclude that feisty vibes, conflicts, sudden attacks, abrupt endings, surprise verdicts and revolt are part and parcel of this alignment. The recent Trump incident can be filed under that too, with the inclusion of fixed star Algol, which has the nature of Saturn and Jupiter (refer to my Instagram/facebook post on The Great Conjunction) and fatalistic connotations of beheading. This is also figuratively exposing or putting an end to those spearheading particular regimes.
More on Fixed star Algol
This white binary ‘winking’ star is depicted as Medusa’s head, carried by Perseus. it is known as the demon head, residing at 26°10” Taurus with an angular allowance of 2°. Vivian Robson states that she/the star was known to be Adam’s first wife, Lilith, in Hebrew tradition, before alluding to it’s energetic ties to mob violence.
As a native I can divulge on an individual level, this energy combo is one of the most autonomous planetary conversations to influence the psyche. It is highly likely that we won’t appreciate being micromanaged and may take a stand against infringement of freedom. Controversial words disrupting the normal flow of the conversation or breaking away with no scruples is not uncommon at all with this alignment. It is highly charged, unsurprisingly, considering the electric nature of Uranus close-knit to the ‘want what I want, not now by right now’ fiery urge of Mars.
I know there’s a lot of fear put out there about this explosive conjunction and Algol but we can break free from stifled activity and relationships and get some progression going in line with our values, with some risks to go with it. We’re talking about Taurus here What risks? We can seek advice for financial liberation. I was born during this conjunction in the sign of Sagittarius and prize it for it’s spontaneity, sexual freedom and detachment rays, for all it’s sins of aloofness. More on that another time. Long story short, limitations or being smothered AIN’T IT.
The mechanism of the Mars-Uranus conjunction resembles 20 mountain climbers with 10 seconds rest X 4 then 5 mins downtime on the mat. This rapid acceleration or burst is seems to follow a process where something seems to lay dormant and culminates in a break from the high energy output. This is not a consistent energy combination (see examples below). We can feel considerably burnt out if we dare to exhibit this extreme level of energy all year round.
The Mars-Algol influence will cease by Thursday Dawn BST, unlike Uranus, which ironically takes longer to complete a revolution through the signs.
Mars-Uranus in Art and Sport
Mike Tyson (Mars square Uranus) retaining his heavyweight title at 21, before you could sit down and get comfortable, with his 1998 first round KO of Michael Spinks,
Ryan Giggs’s (Mars opposite Uranus) 1999 whirlwind of a goal in extra time that sent Arsenal crashing out of the FA Cup semi-final :-(
Lewis Hamilton’s (Mars square Uranus) ‘fastest lap’ recorded at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, despite 2 low sectors. Mars-Uranus is also indicative of enjoying high speeds.
Frida Kahlo’s (Mars conjunct Uranus) self portrait selling for a record amount. More than 1/3 of her artwork consisted of self-portraits, depicting her physical and psychological wounds. One of the portraits was dedicated to a dude she had an affair with. She wanted to be perceived as born 3 years later, in relevance to the Mexican Revolution. Personally, I think ‘The two Fridas’ painting is quality!
Nikola Tesla had the Mars Bi-Quintile (talent aspect) to Uranus. You already know how he revolutionised life with the use of electricity. He’s actually having his Uranus (23° Taurus) return but again that’s one for another day.
