Energies of the Week Mars-Uranus Conjunction July 15-21, 2024 ✨💫⚡
This week’s astrological weather is unstable and unpredictable, bringing excitement and challenges. It will test our usual limits and show us what needs to change, setting the stage for a new adventure. Courage and skill are required to ride this powerful wave, so buckle up!
This week features a transformative Full Moon in Capricorn, conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, and Mars’s explosive, revolutionary conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. These alignments call for both inner and outer changes to move forward authentically and embrace new possibilities.
✨💫⚡ On Monday, July 15, Venus and Mercury form disharmonious aspects with Saturn, presenting obstacles, limitations, self-criticism, and responsibilities. These aspects may raise questions, dilemmas, insecurities, and internal and external conflicts. They compel us to balance our desires with our responsibilities, mature, and shift our mindset and management approach to regain self-confidence and move forward differently.
On the same day, the square between the Sun and Chiron at 23° Cancer-Aries, the first square since their conjunction near the April eclipse, might cause tension in your personal or family life, raising doubts about your purpose and self-worth, especially if you belong to the 3rd decan of Cardinal signs.
The alignment calls you to address what hasn’t healed, possibly rooted in the past, childhood, or family. It’s an energy challenge for your physical, emotional, and financial health, which, however, will open the path to deeper healing, making you recognize the problem and follow a new, different path to reclaim your power.
Mars-Uranus Conjunction in Taurus
At the same time, the significant conjunction of Mars and Uranus in Taurus marks the start of a new two-year synodic cycle. For those with planets or points near 26° Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius this conjunction will bring sudden events, reforms, and chaos, aiming for a paradigm shift that changes the entire narrative. Flexibility and willingness to go with the flow are key to navigating this energy positively.
This aspect, if it affects you directly, comes to change your pace, schedule, and course. However, if you remain flexible and willing to go with the flow, it can prove enlightening and liberating, making you realize something you didn’t see before and get you out of dead ends and previous difficult situations.
It’s also an influence that will bring you awakening, unique courage, decisiveness, and the means to make your own “declaration” of independence in the area – house of your life where it happens, a quantum leap, and a new, unusual, and unexpected beginning. While even small changes you make now can have spectacular results, leading you in a completely new direction.
The conjunction, which last occurred on August 1, 2022, with the North Node at 19° Taurus, can give you an idea of the changes and the possible revolutions it inspired in your life. One thing is certain: when the planet of will, action, and war Mars joins forces with the planet of awakening and progress Uranus in Taurus, where it is also in its fall, things move extremely fast, and the mixture can prove extremely explosive. This foreshadows explosions, violence, accidents, uprisings, revolutions, renewals and instability in the economy, intense weather and geological phenomena, and even disruptions and problems with energy, electricity, the internet, and technological means.
The Algol Influence
What makes this conjunction particularly notable and risky is the involvement of the demonized fixed star Algol. The most malevolent star of all from the Perseus constellation, representing the head of Medusa and mythologically mirroring the woes and sins of patriarchy, wrath, and nemesis, plays a leading role here, foreshadowing more dangerous situations that can even be the wrath of nature in response to reckless and disastrous human intervention.
This energy, through shocking experiences, can bring an explosion of awareness and make us simultaneously more conscientious and sensitive to victimization and violence against the feminine principle and the environment, urging us to implement justice, do things differently and serve the greater good.
On a personal level, this influence calls us to be mindful of how we use our energy, how we react to anger, challenges, and the chaos that might now be created. It’s crucial to maintain self-control and proactively initiate the necessary changes and reforms before external events impose them on us.
On Thursday, July 18, the favorable trine of Sun-Uranus trine at 26° Cancer-Taurus provides an opportunity for renewal and adaptation to changes in a way that respects our values, emotions, and need for security.
With this aspect supporting innovation, creativity, authenticity, and teamwork, it’s an excellent time to surround yourself with supportive people, find solutions, and make improvements in your home, family, and personal development. Set goals that align with your true desires and needs, especially if you belong to the last degrees of Water and Earth signs.
✨💫⚡On Friday, July 19, Mercury trines Chiron at 23° Leo-Aries, offering a chance to heal your mind, ideas, and communication and allow communication and the power of words and thought to heal you, particularly if you belong to the fifth five-day period of the Fire and Air signs.
Through dynamic communication and the confidence that Mercury in Leo brings, engage in honest discussions, counseling, writing, or other forms of expression. This can help you find your voice, express past wounds, and gain positive support, understanding, and healing.
Additionally, new ideas and alternative methods for healing long-standing issues may arise, while you can also utilize your communication skills to inspire and support others in their healing journeys.
On the same day, the harmonious Venus-North Node trine at 9° Leo-Aries promises growth in relationships, creativity, and personal development. It allows you to express genuine feelings and your authentic self, radiate your uniqueness, and align with your true purpose. If you’re at the end of the first decan of Fire signs, seize this opportunity to form relationships and partnerships that foster personal growth and align with your destiny. Use the creative inspiration and positive flow to enhance your personal, professional, and social life, moving toward greater fulfillment.
✨💫⚡On Saturday, July 20 Mars forms a sextile with retrograde Neptune at 29° Taurus-Pisces, facilitating the realization of creative ideas and boosting philanthropic efforts. This alignment provides the faith, inspiration, intuition, persistence, and practicality needed to advance your creative projects, pursue dreams and visions, and achieve them. It also fosters a deep sense of peace and spiritual connection, bringing satisfaction from acts of kindness toward others, ultimately benefiting all parties involved.
This influence allows you to combine physical activity with spiritual practices like yoga or meditation, enhancing both spiritual and physical well-being. If you belong to the last degrees of Earth and Water signs, seize this opportunity for personal growth and self-improvement.
Later, Marsenters the dynamic and versatile sign of Gemini, where it will stay until September 4. This period brings intense mental and communicative activity, enhancing skills, reflexes, and the ability to put ideas into action. It supports action, creativity, and social life, especially for Air and Fire signs, providing significant opportunities to explore new fields, find clever solutions to problems, manage multiple tasks, expand social networks, and negotiate effectively.
✨💫⚡On Sunday, July 21, the Full Moon in Capricorn, conjunct Pluto, and trine Mars and Uranus, acts as a catalyst for significant changes and transformation. This moon will illuminate the way to cut Gordian knots, overcome usual limitations, and inspire many to defy gravity and spread their wings to a path with more possibilities and freedom.
The sextile between the two benefactors, Venus and Jupiter, at 12° Leo-Gemini, occurring on the same day, indicates that the paths for new experiences, to fulfill our desires, and to prove our worth are also open!
Wishing you a blessed and illuminating week ahead!✨💫🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
