Mars Conjoining Uranus in Taurus: 5 Things to Watch For

Hey everyone, this is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Today, we are going to take a look at Mars and Uranus coming to conjoin one another. This will take place over the weekend and into the early part of next week. So we'll take a look at this both today and in the early part of next week just to be sure that we're covering it from a few different angles. We've already looked at this transit as well from the standpoint of not knowing three or four different videos that we've done over the past month.

So, most of you who watch my channel should be well aware of the fact that these two planets coming together form one of the more challenging transits of 2024. Hopefully, being prepared for it helps us to move through it with greater awareness, greater consciousness, and greater appreciation for what this transit can also achieve with respect to our growth and development as spiritual beings. So anyway, that's our goal for today.

So, next week, you can go to the Live Events page. And you'll see I'm giving a talk on Uranus entering Gemini. That is July 18; we're going to be talking about one of the major transits of 2025, which is the entrance of Uranus into Gemini, and how that's going to be affecting each of you. You can attend this talk live or receive the recording afterward. If you can't make it live, we give that to you as well. So, sign up now. Hope to see you there next Thursday night.

All right, well, on that note, let us turn our attention to the real-time clock where we can observe this upcoming conjunction. So here we are. And as of Friday, July 12, we can see that Mars and Uranus are coming together. Let's move this one day forward to Saturday; you see that tomorrow, Mars will be entering the 25th degree Sunday; it's getting closer. Then, Monday is when we have the exact conjunction, and I'm just going to back this up a touch. So you can see that it is about 830 in the morning, July 15 Central Time. That's my timezone here in Minneapolis, and the two planets will conjoin in the sign of Taurus. What is especially important to note is that at the same time, the Fallen Moon in Scorpio is moving through an opposition to these two planets.

We go forward one more day. Lovely solar return signature for me on July 16. Like, oh my god, what a year! The moon will be opposite Uranus and Mars in Taurus through Monday and Tuesday, the 15th and 16th, providing quite up like a pop; it adds depth and intensity on the emotional level and on the level of circumstances and fate and fortune that's unfolding around this event. So it is quite powerful to say that today, what I want to do, and we're going to be visiting this on Monday as well, likely Monday and Tuesday, is I want to remind you of five of the most basic things to watch for when Mars and Uranus get together, whether it's an opposition, a conjunction, and so forth.

One thing that's nice about conjunctions is that they represent the starting points of new cycles. And so this is the ceding point of a revolutionary cycle of activity in our life. But it may come with a shock and surprise; it may be marked by various kinds of conflicts or outbursts of strong dynamic energy. However, it is a seating point nonetheless, which also dates back to the seating point of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction and Taurus not too many degrees earlier. That happened on April 20.

So, one of the things that we can watch for is that I'm just going to roll through this list nicely and easily today. As you guys know, I'm recording this around the fourth holiday, which I'm spending with some families away. So, these have been a little more brief this week. But so support and security failures. Taurus is a sign that loves peace, ease, and stability. Broadly speaking, it is interested in a combination of security, pleasure, wealth, and enjoyment all kind of wrapped into one.

So when these two planets get together and if fixed, the Earth sign is ruled by Venus. Mars can become an agent of disruption, an action that is somehow necessary or that is boiling over, that also may represent a temporary setback, or, how do I want to put this, a temporary failure of support or security systems or features of our lives. Now, this could be something that's just kind of inconvenient. Or, if you remember, back to the monthly overview, Alexandra Blair was talking about the Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus a few years ago, which resulted in the power grid failure in Texas around cold weather.

So, when support or security features of our lives fail, it's often because we haven't taken care of them correctly, or they need to be changed or updated, or there needs to be some kind of revolution in the design of a system or structure so that it can provide ease, safety, comfort, etc. So consider that systems of support or security that provide some level of peace and ease or even enjoyment in our lives may experience disruption or even failure.

Now, the trick is, can we meditate or sit with whatever comes up and locate something of the evolutionary message? Like what is the message for growth here? Why did this happen? We may not fully understand why things happen, but is there some level of the y that we can get to, and or is there some way in which this disruption leads to the ability to grow and heal and change in positive ways if we can if we look for that, that usually is it's a good sign that we're even looking for that usually leads to good things. So something I try to avoid is getting afraid of a transit like this, even though it is easy to do, and instead just keeping my eyes, ears, and heart open.

Alright. Number two is a moment of aggressive breakthrough, rebellion, and creativity. This Mars-Uranus is erratic and aggressive but also rebellious, defiant, creative, and originally likes to think outside of the box. It likes to break with the familiar in order to create something very different. So, a moment of aggressive breakthrough, rebellion, and creativity. It could be, again, a little erratic, a little disruptive. There's a, maybe, a tendency toward conflict or having to break or, or, or kind of, sever or cut ties with something or someone. But in doing that, we may experience a greater degree of freedom and creative fulfillment. But watch for that energy to be quite aggressive.

Number three is a Venusian revolution following on the heels of Jupiter-Uranus conjoining in Taurus back in April on April 20. Mars, Uranus reiterates and says, All right, let's press the gas pedal on that picture of the Nooshin revolution. Whether that's in the body or that's around security, pleasure, the sensual dimension of life, the dimension of life that is meant to be enjoyed, and the peaceful, easy feeling to call on the Eagles, right that everyone's looking for. Everyone's here, in a sense, struggling to survive, struggling to find a nice vibe to just roll along with. Sometimes, in our lives, we have to make radical changes so that the quality of love, the quality of peace, and the quality of happiness can expand or get better or healthier somehow. So, in this Phoenician revolution, the gas pedal is being pressed on it, and it goes back to April.

All right, number four, disruptions, erratic, unstable moments of conflict. Let's be honest: Mars in Taurus is not so comfortable in Taurus because it is a Venus-ruled sign. So this would not be the world's most comfortable place to experience a conflict, and yet this energy can be conflict-oriented, especially when things need to change, and there are clashes of values, or there are stubborn or recalcitrant energies or people or forces that are resistant to change. Then you have to force it, and it results in some kind of conflict. So watch for that as well.

This energy is disruptive, erratic, and unpredictable. It is sort of wild. It has that kind of feeling of, you know, in the movies, there's always a wild horse, and then there's a horse whisperer. You know, this energy is the wild horse. And I think in order to have a horse whisperer relationship with it, we have to start by not trying to hammer it into quickly or tightly, just like in the movies. The horse whispers, like, I'm just gonna stand here. I'm gonna stand here next to the horse. I just stand here for a while, feel my presence. And then after a while he'll, like, you know, he'll, he'll somehow approach the horse within like 10 feet or whatever the horse whisperer in those movies never just goes in and just like grabs the horse and tries to, you know, wrestle it to the ground and subdue it or break it spirits like, I'm not gonna break your spirit friend. I feel like that's every one of those movies.

Anyway. So the point is, be a horse whisperer. Don't break. Don't break the spirit. At the same time, like protect yourself. This is a wild and erratic energy. So, okay, number five is a so random, sorry, guys, a difficult and unexpected emotional upheaval that disrupts the status quo. So this is also the thing that Taurus hates. Right is like things are not predictable, easy, smooth. If it's difficult, if it's deep, if it's hectic, or if it's chaotic, if it's intense, if it's cathartic, yeah. Taurus will pass most of the time, you know.

This Moon in Scorpio is going to be lit and opposing the conjunction, so don't think that we're gonna get away without at least some intense emotional dynamics and upheaval surrounding the Mars-Uranus conjunction; it is there. It's baked into the into this moment. So that is it. That is it.

A little briefer this week with the recordings because I'm recording a bunch in advance before I leave for some family time for the Fourth of July. So it's a big month. I will see you again on Monday, and we will spend more time. We'll spend more time unpacking this on Monday and Tuesday of next week as well. May the Force Be With You.
