The 2024 Mars/Uranus Conjunction

Although Uranus is well known for its sudden and abrupt changes, and Mars for its destructive power, the Mars/Uranus conjunction happening for most of July in 2024 could actually be a very fortunate event - if you are correctively prepared for it.

At the moment of exact conjunction when Mars catches up to Uranus at 26Tau19, a perfect Astrology Aspect Pattern called a ‘cradle’ will be in glorious geometric symmetry.

Before 1999, there was a distinct lack of information regarding aspect patterns in natal charts. Bruno Huber pioneered research into this subject matter, so today astrologers are now familiar with many patterns such as the Kite, the Yod (Projection) and the Grand Cross (Achievement Square); and lesser known ones such as the Trapeze, the Trampoline, the UFO, the Surfer and the Butterfly to name a few. Huber distinguish 46 different patterns in their book, ‘Aspect Pattern Astrology’.

According to Huber, there was a lack of critical understanding in how aspects worked together in patterns in an astrology charts. Many published works existed that spoke to aspects, but not aspect patterns. The research was then developed and published in German by Bruno, Louise and Michael Huber at the Astrological Psychology Institute (API) in Adliswil near Zurich. An English translation was later released in 2005 with black and white illustrations and the newest version in color was only recently made available in 2019.

Huber began studying astrology in the mid 1900’s. In 1968, with his wife, Louise Huber, he founded the Astrological Psychology Institute, which became an internationally renowned school of Astrology.

Over many years of astrological work, research, and client/patient consultations, the Hubers book on aspect patterns came from the need for ‘holistic guidelines for astrological psychological horoscope interpretation’. These patterns, according to his research, ‘are of overriding importance and serve as synthesizing generic terms for the interpretation of the individual planets contained in triangles, quadrilaterals or polygons’. Further, this ‘includes the knowledge of laws of geometric aspect patterns, whose detailed interpretation constitutes an important part of Aspect Pattern Astrology’. It is the Huber family’s hope that ‘Aspect Pattern Astrology will provide the key to holistic horoscope interpretation and to the understanding of people’s (charts) true essence’.

The astrological phenomenon of patterns is a next level proposal to truly get to the source of how and why chart aspects manifest. In that we can find solace in higher octave connections made through patterns and further understand the native energies at work in themself and also during activations by transit.

In the upcoming Mars/Uranus conjunction at 26Tau19, the great benefic ‘cradle’ pattern will be formed in the heavens. The cradle aspect pattern is the formation of one opposition, two trines and three sextiles. Because of its geometry, the cradle is highly energetically stable and benefic in nature. There is inner harmony between all the planets which allows the native to ‘adapt and deal with the demands of the environment’.

The cradle reminds us of birth and babies, so the cradle is a place of security. It is representative of a safe zone in the signs it encompasses. When we exit the cradle into the signs outside of its protection, Huber states ‘when something unpleasant approaches, the person can just switch over and is suddenly protected by an invisible wall from any attack’. The wall he is referencing is the opposition at the top of the cradle. Once back in the cradle, he/she/they ‘cut (themselves) off from it (the difficulty) completely and it then just ceases to exist and effectively disappears’.

Inside the cradle exists two Talent Triangles and two Easy Opposition (Ambivilence) Triangles. You can read more about the easy opposition triangle here:

The Talent Triangle being doubled can transform conflicts in highly effective ways because there is always a benefic escape route from any tensioned energy. When outside the cradle, one only need look to the security within the cradle to find solice, harmony and relaxation. Nonetheless, conflicts continue over and over and balance can continually be found without residual malefic energies following us back into the safe zone. The opposition provides a wall of protection that cannot be broken.

The aspects in the cradle formed during the Mars/Uranus conjunction are mostly all located in the ‘Impulse’ quadrant (first three signs from the Asc of the zodiac) and in the “I-Space’. The Impulse quadrant is related to ego, persistence, constitution, heredity and systems. The I-Space will pull us into introspective states where we will be very self-sufficient. This transit will be one of the hermit. Strangers and negative outside influences beyond self will automatically be shielded by the wall (the opposition). In this case the wall of protection is provided by the Sun and Pluto. This does not mean we will all be in a self-made prison of isolation, but instead we will only let those in that are good for us.

One of my favorite saying comes to mind, ‘They either feed your fire or piss on it’ - so be on the lookout for those energetic dicks and know you have safe haven from them.

When you look at your own chart, take note of the degrees and signs where this transit planets are that form the cradle and mark them on your own natal chart. This is your own private Idaho; the sanctuary of your ego, individualism, and intimate sphere. Then, observe where the opposition wall is for you. When you must go out and work with the signs and houses (areas of life) opposite your own version of the transit cradle, tread lightly - or better, postpone events that may activate points of contention. This is like a Mercury retrograde in a sense - all the signs and houses outside the cradle will be experiencing the turmoil that will send you reeling back to safety.

I think this Mars/Uranus conjunction may be one of the better transits we all get to experience, in consideration of understanding all the energies at play and how to use them to our advantage. If you need any help interpreting your own chart, get in touch with me and I’ll be happy to work with you.

Aligning With Jupiter - The Greatest Gift Of All

In old school astrology, all the planets visible to the naked eye were assigned a day of the week; and Thursday is the day of Jupiter. I want to honor Jupiter today, because it’s his day!

Jupiter is a benefic planet that bestows its influence to very specific parts of our lives as indicated in our natal charts. Tuning in to its frequency is a great way to bring more abundance into our lives. Having a reading about how Jupiter influences your chart can set you on the long journey of being in harmony with the greatest of benefactors.

Let’s talk for a minute about what Jupiter rules over…

Happiness! Every time you tune in to any kind of comedy, you’re tuned in to Jupiter. Being “cheerful”, “jovial”, “convivial”, "good-humored” and “merry" are distinct qualities of those born under the rising sign of the planet Jupiter, so also have these gifts heightened in their disposition.

Abundance. When you know where Jupiter is on your chart, and what aspects it by planet and sign, you will have direction to follow the path of abundance in your own life.

Expansion and Growth: Jupiter is often called the "Great Benefic" because it is associated with expansion, optimism, and growth. It encourages individuals to seek out opportunities and to strive for excellence in various aspects of life.

Wisdom and Knowledge. Jupiter rules over the higher and abstract mind. Jupiter kicks in later in life, after adolescence, when we begin to pursue higher learning. In this way, Jupiter rules over all the doors to your conscious evolution.

Foreign Affairs. I think this is one of the more interesting aspects of Jupiter. It rules over travel to foreign lands. Analogously, this also means that the expansion of our consciousness is movement into foreign realms of being. Pretty rad!

Spirituality. Hope, Faith, Blessings (gratitude), Religion, Churches, Devotion, Ceremonies and Celebrations of all kinds are ruled over by Jupiter. Spirituality is the longest journey of our lives, and his placement in our charts shows where we are most devoted.

Institutions. Institutions of thought and place. From monasteries, churches and colleges to prisons, hospitals and asylums, Jupiter rules them all. It is Jupiter that connects Pisces and the 12th house to institutions.

Optimism and Enthusiasm! Along with Mars, Jupiter lends his benefic power to make optimism and enthusiasm more than just a rush to do something. Jupiter provides the optimism needed to embark on the endeavor in the first place. This can inspire individuals to aim high and pursue excellence, believing in their potential to achieve great things.

Factoid:

The word enthusiasm comes from the Greek enthousiasmos, which is a combination of enthous ("inspired") and theos ("god"). In the early 18th century enthusiasm began to take on the extended meaning which it primarily has today, referring to feelings of strong excitement or fervor on behalf of something.

Integrity. When we are talking about maybe the most sought after value of integrity, we are talking about Jupiter. Jupiter rules over all forms of right-ness and righteousness, including facts, law, lawyers, counselors, judges, justice, the judicial system, legal matters, credentials, licenses, copyrights and honest journalism. You want to get right? Tap into your Jupiter power.

Values. Everything valuable. This extends to what an individual finds valuable, their actual moral values, and the valuables they possess. Jupiter also rules over commerce. Banks, casinos, charities, generosity, cashiers, gains, income, accumulation (capitalism), bounties, bonuses, benefits, benevolence, beneficiaries, etc.

Excellence. In astrology, Jupiter is considered the planet that rules over excellence due to its association with growth, expansion, and abundance.

Factoid:

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” Is a quote from Will Durant in his book from 1926 entitled “The Story of Philosophy”. He makes this assertion to describe some of the teachings that Aristotle writes in a more complicated way.

Fun Fact:

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure movie was based on going back in time to learn some of the more influential passages in history that helped shape our present experience. And if they both could learn these things and then pass their exam, they would be able to create a utopian society, a state of utter perfection and happiness.

Luck and Good Fortune: Jupiter is also associated with good luck and fortune. It is believed to bring positive energy and opportunities, making it easier for individuals to achieve their goals and excel in their endeavors.

Body Parts. In astrology, each planet is believed to have rulership over certain parts of the body. Jupiter, in particular, is associated with the following body parts:

1. Liver: Jupiter is closely connected to the liver, which plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body and managing metabolic processes.

2. Hips and Thighs: Jupiter governs the hips and thighs, symbolizing the support and movement necessary for expansion and exploration.

3. Pituitary Gland: As the gland responsible for growth and hormone regulation, the pituitary gland falls under Jupiter’s domain, reflecting the planet's association with growth and development.

4. Circulatory System: Jupiter also has an influence on the circulatory system, particularly in terms of blood flow and overall circulation within the body.

Knowing all of this is ruled by Jupiter, doesn’t that make you want to know more about your Jupitarian nature as expressed through your own personal charts?

Mercury in Leo

July 2024

When Mercury is in Leo in astrology, it combines Mercury's communicative and intellectual qualities with Leo's expressive and confident energy. While this affects each individual differently, here are some key characteristics associated with this transit:

1. Expressive Communication: Flair for dramatic and enthusiastic communication. Increased persuasiveness of speakers and writers who captivate their audience with vibrant and engaging style.

2. Confidence in Ideas: Leo adds courage to the conversation, so people will act more confident in their thoughts and ideas, often expressing them with a sense of authority even if they aren’t good. This can be good but also be conscientiously cautious.

3. Creative Thinking: Mercury in Leo is the definition of thinking outside the box. There is a distinct uptick of creative ideas and problem-solving.

4. Strong Opinions: Lions roar. So be ready to hear full force hard and strong opinions. This larger than life vocal expression can make them convincing, but it can also just be an intellectual jerk-off. Check the facts behind the tantrum.

5. Need for Recognition: Leo is used to the spotlight. With Mercury in Leo more people will be seeking confirmation and appreciation for their intellectual contributions. The good news is if they are deserving, they will thrive on your positive feedback and validation. If undeserving, get ready for a longer soap-box speech or a cut-throat argument.

6. Charismatic Presence: You may notice yourself or others expressing thoughts and ideas marked with more inviting charisma and warmth. Socially in the media, in general situations and in public speaking. If you have the stage, you’ll be surprised at how well you deliver. Watching others live during this transition can be hypnotic.

Overall, Mercury in Leo combines intellect with creativity, expressiveness, and gravitas; we will find ourselves reveling in our own dynamic and impactful communication, and immersed in the bravado styles of others. Have fun intellectualizing!
