What’s Interesting About Transit Uranus Opposite Mars?
- Sudden Displacement from Home or Workplace: Sepharial writes in The Transit of the Planets (1896) that “when Uranus forms a mundane opposition unto the martial birth, the native is oft expelled or forced to depart his dwelling or employ, by sudden and unlooked-for circumstance.” So, you might find yourself suddenly having to move or leave a job, with little warning.
- Unusual Mechanical Mishaps: In Alan Leo’s Astrology for All (1899), it’s suggested that “in such times, That Mercury of the Heavens (Uranus) being in contradiction to Mars, brings unprecedented breakages or malfunctions of mechanism, especially wherein heat, fire, or iron are chief actors.” So you might have old tools, machines, or even cooking equipment break down in weird ways.
- Peculiar Fevers and Nerve Disturbances: In Raphael’s Manual of Astrology (1877), Raphael points out that “fevers of no common order, striking most especially upon the nervous system, have been marked under this influence,” sometimes resulting in odd spasms or trembling, with doctors of the time often baffled.
- Sudden and Scandalous Quarrels with Siblings or Neighbors: From Zadkiel’s Handbook of Astrology (1852), this aspect “incites men to untimely broils with those nearest in proximity, e’en brethren or neighbour, resulting in public scandal or legal summons.”
- Unexpected Legal or Military Summons: According to Pearce’s Text-book of Astrology (1879), “the oppositional flash of Uranus to Mars brings, now and again, official missive drawing the native forth, by law or by arms, into public contest or conscription, oft to their dismay.”
- Strange Reversals of Animal Companions or Livestock: In Simmonite’s Planets and Their Influence (1855), it’s noted, “Never is the beast nor fowl safe, for Uranus in opposition to Mars reveals theft, accident, or rebellion among animals under one’s care.”
- Bizarre Accidents with Fire or Electricity: From Turner’s Astrological Guide (1878): “Eccentric Uranus, when at odds with Mars, hath oft brought accidents of fire or electrical discharge- burns, shocks, or blazes come peculiar and unheralded.”
- Sudden Flares of Inventive Talent Followed by Frustration: William Lilly in An Introduction to Astrology (1852) remarks that “a man may be seized with sudden wit or discovery, but as speedily meets opposition, as though the planet himself did raise and crush inspiration at once.”
- Unusual Changes in Blood or Bodily Temperament: La Roy Sunderland’s Zodiac Revisited (1854) claims, “Blood may grow hot and peculiar in its course, producing moments of wild strength or rash faintness, rarely diagnos’d by the usual signs, under such a transit.”
