What’s interesting about this transit?
Let’s dive into some old-school, lesser-known takes on Mars square Uranus found in ancient and obscure astrology texts. These are the strange gems you rarely hear about:
- Ptolemaic Accidents: Some sources from Ptolemy’s time believe this transit brings “accidents of fire or metal,” like minor burns, electrical shocks, or tools behaving oddly. Smiths and soldiers were warned on these days!
- Sudden Travels and Forced Journeys: Old Arabian astrologers said this transit predicts “rapid, forced journeys,” meaning trips you never planned for- like being called out for a sudden errand or being whisked away to solve someone else’s crisis.
- Breaking of Bonds: Medieval texts talk about “unexpected rifts in sworn alliances,” which could mean fights with friends, breaking promises, or abrupt exits from clubs or groups.
- Belligerent Machines: In Victorian astrology, Mars square Uranus was blamed for “rebellious machines”- meaning devices or carriages (nowadays, probably cars or computers) acting up without warning.
- Flash Fevers: There’s an ancient idea that this combo brings on fevers that come and go quickly, literally “heating up” the body without much explanation.
- Defiance Against the Sky: Some rare Renaissance notes talk about “defying the heavens”- people under this transit unexpectedly rebel against religious or social authorities, just for the sake of rebellion.

- Trouble With Authority: You might clash with your boss, teacher, or anyone telling you what to do. You might just blurt out what you really think without caring about the fallout.
- Accidents or Injuries: You’re more likely to trip, cut yourself, or have a close call with electricity or anything sharp or mechanical. Old texts weren’t kidding about those “rebellious machines.”
- Relationship Blowups: Mars squares are known for sparking arguments over the tiniest things. You or someone else might decide to make a dramatic exit mid-conversation.
- Tech Meltdowns: Phones, computers, or cars might fail just when you need them most- the universe’s way of forcing you to do things the hard way.

- Courage to Break Free: If there’s something in your life that’s felt stuck or stale, now’s the time you might finally make the move to break free- quitting a bad job, leaving a stale relationship, or just saying “no” when you never dared before.
- Trying New Things: Stuff that normally scares you might look exciting now. You might find yourself signing up for a dance class, giving a public speech, or trying spicy food for the first time- just because you can.
