What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Inventive Social Charisma: According to Raphael’s “Manual of Astrology” (1890), “Mars in a fortunate trine to the planet Herschel [Uranus] endows the native with a certain daring, inspiring confidence among friends who are apt to follow his sudden innovations with zeal.” This isn’t just energy for yourself- it’s magnetic leadership, and a little bit of trendsetting, too.
- Unusual Blessings in Sport or Machinery: In Sepharial’s “Manual of Astrology: Four Books” (1898), this trine is said to “increase felicity in games of physical prowess, or in the operation of devices never before employed,” hinting at breakthroughs in sports or using new technology, especially luck in first attempts.
- Escapes from Sudden Mishap: Alan Leo, in “Astrology for All” (1899), says that Mars trine Uranus “brings about the most extraordinary escapes from dangers which would otherwise threaten, as if providence, working through electricity and iron, opens a path through obstacles at the eleventh hour.” Unexpected help or miraculous timing could show up.
- The Engineer’s Aspect: W.J. Simmonite wrote in “The Complete Arcana of Astral Philosophy” (1850) that this aspect “excites mechanical contrivances within the youth, suggestive of the builder, the bridge-maker, or craftsman of singular implements,” meaning you may feel an urge to tinker, invent, or problem-solve in very literal, physical ways.
- Sudden Fortunes or Losses at Sea: From “Zadkiel’s Complete Handbook of Astrology” (1861): “In maritime undertakings, when Mars forms a triangle with Uranus, strange and rapid reversals may bring fortune from storms or loss therefrom, though the hand of fate oft favors swiftness of reaction.” So, while most wouldn’t note this, this transit was thought to coincide with fast-moving, fated changes- good or bad- for sailors, traders, or anyone “at sea.”
- Magnetism and Hypnotic Power: Dr. Franz Hartmann’s “Astrological Secrets” (1889) describes this trine as “an uncommonly favorable configuration giving magnetic influence which at times appears as hypnotic power, especially if the native is prepared by congenial studies or peculiar habits.” Basically, your energy might be, well, kind of electric and strangely persuasive.
- Extraordinary Success Through Clubs or Secret Societies: “Raphael’s Key to Astrology” (mid-19th c. edition) notes, “When Mars trines Herschel, the involvement in brotherhoods, secret councils, or societies of new order brings about sudden advancement or unexpected leadership roles.” If you’re a joiner or organizer in any nontraditional group or underground scene, watch out- you might end up running the show.
Experiencing This Transit
When Mars makes a trine to your natal Uranus, it’s like getting a jolt of sudden energy and daring. You’ll probably feel more restless, craving something new or different, and you might surprise yourself with bold actions or choices you wouldn’t usually make. Your “inner rebel” gets let out, but in a way that’s creative and constructive, not just chaotic.
Challenges during this transit
- Impulse Control: You might jump into things super fast, thinking you can handle anything. It’s easy to underestimate risks, which could get you into tricky situations- like taking on too many projects at once, or saying yes to the weird new idea before really thinking it through.
- Restlessness: The urge for change can make you feel impatient with your usual routine. Boredom is a big issue under this transit, and you could get frustrated with anything that feels slow or repetitive.
- Unintended Disruption: Without realizing it, you might shake things up for others, too. For example, you could suddenly change plans or drop commitments, leaving friends or coworkers scrambling to adapt.
Opportunities during this transit
- Creative Breakthroughs: You’re more inventive than usual- and not afraid to try out-of-the-box solutions. If you’ve been stuck on a problem, this is the time that wild, genius idea could come to you out of nowhere.
- New Adventures: You’ll feel braver, willing to try things you’d normally shy away from. Maybe you’ll sign up for that class that seemed too weird or dive into a new hobby that’s totally different from your usual.
- Positive Risk-Taking: If you’ve been wanting to make a change, especially something that feels “different” or “too much,” this transit gives you the guts to actually do it. People sometimes quit boring jobs, move to new places, or launch unique projects now- and it tends to go well!
- Better Tech Skills: Anything involving technology, gadgets, or new techniques tends to work out for you. You might quickly master a tricky device or figure out a shortcut no one else noticed.
This transit helps you break out of ruts, try new things, and shake off what’s stale. It’s exciting, and if you stay grounded enough, it can be really rewarding!
