Mars-Uranus Conjunction in Taurus 🌀💥🌀💥

"The political realm is a complex compound of higher and lower orders of creation. On the one hand, it generates ultimate questions and universal goals, but on the other it must embody its imperfect formulations in Time. Too often the critical ratios between the worlds of eternity and time are forgotten and forms are given disproportionate attention. The Interpreters (by A.E. Russell) suggests that political systems and human institutions have their hidden basis in cosmology and transcendental law."

"Wisdom is neither casuistry nor technique but an eye for essentials together with an awareness of cosmic law and the Celestial City, and their eternal relevance to limits and possibilities in human affairs. Wisdom is the rainbow bridge between mystical vision and responsibility in the redemptive use of political power. While the Mystic is wholly absorbed in his contemplation, the Sage is able to frame approximate harmonies on Earth and elicit them from others."

- Raghavan and Nandini Iyer

The Mars-Uranus conjunction is exact in Taurus on July 15, and has already had such an intense momentum of energy behind it that I created a little comparison chart so we remember: we have a choice. We have free-will, and our Cosmology doesn't deny it:

Astra inclinant sed non obligant.

The stars incline us, they do not bind us.

When we look at the way the collective, as a whole, manifests intense cosmic transits, there has been a tendency for it to reach into a lower, denser frequency of it, or as the Iyer's put it, a tendency to place a "disproportionate attention" on form and matter. We can see that in the news to be sure. But this can and will change as each one of us awakens to our inner wholeness, to our belonging to the universal field. 

This being said, there's something else that I want to add: sometimes in life, you can be a conscious, awakening, absolutely brilliant human being and even still find yourself breaking down to break through during a Uranian transit. The Breakdown is Uranus' low road, the Breakthrough is his high road.

So if this week hasn't been "easy" for you (or for the collective)..if you don't seamlessly meld into the Knight and Mother and Genius archetypes with ease and grace, I have some old news for you: you are a celestial being having a human experience. You're not an archetype, you're everything all at once. Most likely you'll be weaving through the highs & lows all week, day by day, minute by minute. Just like you've been doing all your life.

And remember with this conjunction, the Cosmology can also just be really subtle, especially if you're someone who dapples in the subtler realms or if it's taking place in one of your subtler houses. These big cosmic events can be a very energetic, very internal experience for us as individuals. In our personal lives, the Mars-Uranian surprise may not be an external surprise but an internal one.

I've made a big to-do about how to approach this conjunction because it is a big deal and it does have incredible cosmic energy behind it. 

Your attachments to security and stability could be interrupted, challenged, or imploded upon this week. Your body, mind, spirit could be feeling incredibly turbulent and scattered. It could feel like just when they are aligned together, something comes in to interrupt one of them.

We could read that with fear and trepidation: "Oh no..change!" or with Martian Courage & Strength, and Uranian Invention, we could read it with anticipation & excitement: "Oh yeah! Breaking Patterns! Change!" This is up to us. 

How do we tune into that higher road and frequency of Mars & Uranus? How do we read it with excitement? It has to do with our Trust in a benevolent universe and if we find ourselves doubting this (which is understandable in this inverted society), then our first step is in building an abiding trust. Looking at the eyes in the mirror, saying to yourself: "I'm here for you no matter what, you always got me." With this practice, it starts to get clear, something eternal has you that's in the sparkle behind your eyes, it has all of us.

If you're curious about the personal effects of this transit, book a reading here. In our own Cosmological Spirits, there are low roads and high roads. There are ways of being that can bring us down if we choose to stay there. And there are ways of our being that enliven us and everyone around us, that fill us with spirit and love for life. It's all within you, you have everything you need to feel that love already.

Love to you all,

Jane 🕊
