Electrical current can greatly enhance
our lives but can also destroy us at the same time. I see Mars/Uranus
energy much like I do electrical energy. We have an opportunity to be pioneers of this energy.
What happens when you are on a lake and
an electrical storm is coming? Smart move would be to get out of the
lake. Same here. Get a grip on the emotional side of this. Respond.
Do not react. (You are going to want to remember those last 4 words.)
The patriarch of my mother's family had
what I call a “catch phrase.” He was a quadruple Aries (Sun and
Moon conjunct in the latter degrees with Mercury and Venus conjunct
in the early degrees). By the way, he also had Mars in Scorpio
trining Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer with Saturn in Virgo
forming a kite with all 4 planets—he knew what he was talking
about. He would say, “The main
thing is not to get excited.” It took me three decades of life to
even care what it was he meant by that. And, it took another decade
of life for me to admit that this was true. And, it is true. My
grandfather was also an amazing man.
One of Libra's
shadow traits, procrastination and indecision, can exacerbate that
“I've waited until the last minute and now I have to DO or DECIDE
right now!” Don't put yourself in that self-perpetrated dramatic
situation.
You, your physical
self, are the conductive wire in this electrical analogy. What you
are going to want to do is direct this electrical current with the
help of your conduit, insulators and ground. It's important to know
which direction that is. With Pluto looming within orb, you are going
to want to be careful where you point this stuff!
Find a physical
outlet. The best physical outlets are going to be the ones that, of
course, discharge your Marsy energy but also allow you to practice
their direction. I'm thinking in terms of karate, Tai-Chi, Yoga,
Pilates and any exercise where you take energy and consciously direct
it in a certain way. These types of things will teach you to control
and direct. They will also teach you to respond vs react. They also
help with your emotional body. Dancing is also a good one especially
with Mars in Libra—just make sure there is nothing to fall off of
or trip over while your shaking your booty (not that I speak from
experience, or anything).
Mars/Uranus/Pluto
is excellent energy to have in emergency situations. The surgical and
precise movements know exactly what needs to be done and does it
lightning quick. (Save the baby, stop the bleeding, put out the fire)
However, it's key to realize that not everything is an emergency.
Allow me to repeat that, NOT EVERYTHING IS AN EMERGENCY. Remaining
grounded and working to keep an intact and healthy emotional body
will be key assets through this time period. You can do amazing
things with this. You can also get quite a high off the adrenaline
rush and ferocity of the speed associated with this energy. Either
potential is out there for you to choose.
Tesla: Modern Day Cowboy
When electrical energy is contained in
conduit, an insulator and transmitted through a conductive metal and
subsequently grounded, it brings us many of today's modern
conveniences. The harnessing of electricity was a pretty big deal.
And, that is quite an understatement. If you've never studied
anything related to the rights over harnessing electrical current
(Edison VS Tesla), I highly recommend it. There is quite a story
there. And, chances are you were not introduced to what really went
on while you studied it in elementary school.
At any rate, electrical current can be
greatly beneficial when harnessed. However, when it is NOT harnessed
and allowed to run about rampantly, it becomes scattered and, very
often, destructive. The same is true of Mars in aspect to Uranus.
Mars in aspect to Uranus can be an
itchy and nervous energy. We've been dealing with this (Mars/Uranus)
since Uranus moved into Aries. However, Mars in Libra is coming along
to make things start twitching even more. Plus, Uranus in Aries is
stationed to go direct on the day before the full moon in Gemini. So,
what we have is a stationary and powerful Uranus and a build up of
emotions (even if the full moon is in an air sign) as we approach the
full moon. In my eyes, what that boils down to is the possibility
that we are swimming in the lake and lightning is coming.
What happens when you are on a lake and
an electrical storm is coming? Smart move would be to get out of the
lake. Same here. Get a grip on the emotional side of this. Respond.
Do not react. (You are going to want to remember those last 4 words.)
On my mother's side of the family,
there runs a very distinct Mars/Uranus pattern. As a matter of fact,
the impulsiveness and rebellious expressions of this energy caused
the untimely deaths of two of my uncles. I have Mars conjunct Uranus
in my natal chart. The conjunction is located in the 8th
house and also has Mars conjunct Pluto. I've been in quite a few
deadly situations myself. Most of these were perpetrated by me
reacting (often rebelliously and spontaneously) instead of
responding.
The patriarch of my mother's family had
what I call a “catch phrase.” He was a quadruple Aries (Sun and
Moon conjunct in the latter degrees with Mercury and Venus conjunct
in the early degrees). By the way, he also had Mars in Scorpio
trining Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer with Saturn in Virgo
forming a kite with all 4 planets—he knew what he was talking

thing is not to get excited.” It took me three decades of life to
even care what it was he meant by that. And, it took another decade
of life for me to admit that this was true. And, it is true. My
grandfather was also an amazing man.
So, while in this
Cardinal t-square of a mess there does exist the possibility of
spontaneous combustion to a point that it can and will hurt you. But,
there is also a wonderful opportunity in it when harnessed and
directed appropriately—just like electricity.
Healthy emotional
boundaries are of a great importance while dealing with these
energies. A healthy emotional body, in general, is also key. In that,
know that Mars/Uranus can exacerbate nervous disorders such as
anxiety and OCD. Take proper care of these and don't let them go on
unchecked. They are true disorders.
One of Libra's
shadow traits, procrastination and indecision, can exacerbate that
“I've waited until the last minute and now I have to DO or DECIDE
right now!” Don't put yourself in that self-perpetrated dramatic
situation.
One thing that I
cannot preach enough about with this energy in the air is to cut down
on stimulants, including caffeine, sugar and nicotine, and increase
your dietary intake of water. These stimulants will increase in
potency with Mars/Uranus and make the nervous disorders worse or
cause the emergence of them. They will work to further scatter the
Mars/Uranus energy. Mars/Uranus when scattered is accident prone at
it's best. Explosive at its worst.
Think of your
emotional body as the conduit. Your emotional boundaries act as
insulators. You don't want any breaks in this material and you want
to work on regular maintenance of these bodies to ensure they remain
intact. This includes practices like meditation, grounding exercises,
good dietary intake (decrease stimulants, increase water and work to
maintain a healthy diet). Take regular breaks from electronics (cell
phones, computers, TV's) and over-stimulating activities.
In taking care of
the conduit and insulators, grounding also becomes a factor. The
better shape your emotional body (the conduit), emotional boundaries
(insulator) and your grounding routines are, the better you will be
able to effectively use this energy. When you effectively use this
energy, it can fall in the realm of genius. Just remember, there is a
very fine line between genius and madness. The care you take toward
your emotional body, boundaries and grounding activities could very
well prove to be what draws that line.
You, your physical
self, are the conductive wire in this electrical analogy. What you
are going to want to do is direct this electrical current with the
help of your conduit, insulators and ground. It's important to know
which direction that is. With Pluto looming within orb, you are going
to want to be careful where you point this stuff!
What projects are
you working on? Which ones need your attention and which ones do you
want to put your energy into? Decide that right now. An endpoint is
important to keep the energy from being wasted and scattered. Cut out
the distractions. Let go of the things you really don't want to focus
on so that you can aim this energy like a laser beam toward where you
want it. And, yes, visualizations of this laser beam like energy
going where you want it to go are extremely helpful and can be used
during your grounding activities such as mediation. Again, be careful
where you point this stuff because it is potent. Know your intention
for this energy. The progress and level of innovation that you CAN reach is amazing.
Find a physical
outlet. The best physical outlets are going to be the ones that, of
course, discharge your Marsy energy but also allow you to practice
their direction. I'm thinking in terms of karate, Tai-Chi, Yoga,
Pilates and any exercise where you take energy and consciously direct
it in a certain way. These types of things will teach you to control
and direct. They will also teach you to respond vs react. They also
help with your emotional body. Dancing is also a good one especially
with Mars in Libra—just make sure there is nothing to fall off of
or trip over while your shaking your booty (not that I speak from
experience, or anything).
Breathing.
Very important. In our first Woo-Woo
Wonderful Show , Dixie mentions Combat Breathing. This is also
known as the fourfold
breath (that link describes many different breathing techniques
as well as fourfold breath). A little conscious effort in this realm
goes a long way.
When you combine
Mars, Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter energy you could very well feel 10
foot tall and bullet proof. Remember, you are not. Jupiter can come
into play in two ways. It can give you the foresight and wisdom you
need to act appropriately and in your best long-term interests. OR,
it can inflate you to the point that you do start believing you are
10 foot tall and bulletproof and that your rebellious and destructive
actions are, indeed, justified.
Mars/Pluto is a
tremendous amount of energy that can be focused on rebuilding but can
also be destructive. You do have the ability to choose. It is a
replenishing energy in that whatever you put in energywise will be
returned to you. However, bear in mind that this aspect doesn't last
forever. You know your limits. Pace yourself. Also pay heed to the
lessons of Saturn in Scorpio which speak of energy exchange. You
cannot fill a bottomless pit no matter how long you keep at it.
Given those two
statements, I bring you the “antidotes” for the negative
expression of Mars/Uranus and Mars/Pluto.
Temperance
Strength
The principles of
these two cards are excellent fall back lessons when dealing with
this energy. Temperance represents the Sagittarian and Jupiter
qualities I discussed earlier. Wisdom. Intentional mixing of energies
in an alchemical process and foresight are gifts of this card. When
out of whack (inverted) it has the potential to be explosive.
Patience and diligence are key. Careful mixing of volatile elements
to bring forth a common and beneficial third element is the goal.
Strength has
nothing to do with physical prowess. It is more of the conscious
control of your own inner vicious beast. He or she can be
destructive. However, when properly harnessed it becomes a force to
be reckoned with in a good way. Channeled. Purposely directed. Laser
beam. Problem with this is realizing that YOU are in control of this
instead of constantly being at odds with someone else you may believe
is in control. That tiger may want to come off the chain but you have
to remember the consequences of allowing someone to push that trigger
for you. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it feels darn good to turn
that beast loose on someone you think deserves it—but in the long
term it rarely proves worth it, especially to you. So, harness it and
use it for your best good and not for the destruction of others.
Can you control
this energy? The bigger question is, can you control yourself, your
drives, your motives? Can you acknowledge your shadow and embrace it
as part of yourself while choosing to express the highest vibration
instead? Are you going to react? Or will you respond.

Dates for exact
interactions of Mars/Uranus:
December
25th
at 3:33 AM EST at 8 degrees 37 minutes. The Moon in Libra hits a
conjunction with Mars in Libra/Uranus in Aries at about 6 PM EST this
same night. The last quarter moon (Moon in Libra square Sun in
Capricorn) occurs at 8:49 AM EST.
April
23rd.
Mars Rx opposing Uranus direct in Aries. This meetup happens at 13
degrees and 38 seconds with Pluto at 13 degrees Capricorn and so is
Jupiter in Cancer. So, yeah. Be mindful of your actions with the
first pass because all the big players are involved with the RX pass.
June
25th.
Mars is direct and opposes Uranus in Aries at 16 degrees 13 minutes
right before a new moon in Cancer. Did you catch that? First pass
occurs on the last quarter moon leading up to a New Moon in
Capricorn. Last pass occurs only a few days prior to a New Moon in
Cancer. The polarities of Capricorn and Cancer are in play with the
polarities of Libra and Aries.
*On a personal note, from me:
*On a personal note, from me:
One thing that I
struggle with is that I will be consciously working to direct all
this energy while it seems everyone around me is popping off and
exploding and not even trying in the least bit to be mindful or even
be responsible for what they are doing. I'm controlling myself and
they are just letting it fly. The bloodlust that accompanies
Mars/Pluto can be lured to just go nuts on something that can only be
equated to a Vampire feeding frenzy. Sigh. And, I reach a point where
I think, “Gosh Durn It! It's just not fair that all these
motherfuckers (excuse me, I have Mercury in Scorpio) are just freely
giving into impulse and consequences be damned!” At that point I'm
tempted to give in and blow up right along with them. Don't fall for
it, sweet pea. Life ain't fair and it's not about what THEY are doing
it's about owning and what YOU are doing. THEY are not the boss of
you, remember? You are the boss of you and each of you will meet the
consequences of your actions one way or another. Don't allow
Mars/Uranus to push to one of those moments you may regret. Or, at
least, that's what I tell myself.*
