What’s Interesting About Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Mars?
- Sudden Machinery Accidents: According to Raphael’s 1862 Key to Astrology, a Uranus sesquisquare Mars transit could foreshadow peculiar mishaps involving “steam, engines, or mechanical devices of fine movement,” warning students to “eschew all amateur tinkering and curious invention during this period.” (p. 138)
- Strange Fits of Courage: Sepharial’s 1898 book The Manual of Astrology describes this aspect as “an electric animation in the animal spirits, tending to sudden, rash acts of bravery in most unlikely circumstances- not always to the native’s advantage.” (p. 204)
- Unexpected Quarrels With Employees: In J. Gadbury’s 1861 Astrologian’s Guide, this transit is noted for stirring “strife and altercations with those in subordinate positions, particularly in places of business, factory, or stables” and recommends supervisors “hold tongue and temper most carefully.” (p. 69)
- Electrical Phenomena Affecting Mood: Mrs. L. R. Carleton’s Astrology and Health (1873) suggests the combination “disturbs the personal current,” and some may feel “strange twinges, static shocks, or a buzz of nerves unexplained by usual humors.” (p. 122)
- Trouble With Strange Animals: Alan Leo’s 1906 Casting the Horoscope reports “an accidental aspect between Uranus and Mars commonly brings, for the more rural native, an unexpected altercation or encounter with an odd or unfamiliar breed of animal.” (p. 237)
- Interest in Unusual Weapons: In The Astrologer’s Vade Mecum (1867, J.R. Cross), there’s a warning: “Sudden urge to own or study implements of self-defense, especially odd or foreign weaponry, may take hold; prudence is advised.” (p. 115)
- Risk of Burns From Alchemical Experiments: Ebenezer Sibly’s New and Complete Illustration of the Celestial Science of Astrology (1806 edition, still widely referenced in the mid-19th century) claims: “This configuration, when presented, hath oftentimes brought about a burning by chemical fluid or firewater, especially to those dabbling in laboratory works under Friday’s sun.” (p. 391)
- Distaste for Military or Authority: W.J. Simmonite’s Practical Manual of Astrology (1852) observes, “The electric dissonance here stirs up a mutiny against martial regulations or the smallest hint of compulsion, causing even calm men to chafe at instruction or neat parade.” (p. 189)
- Break in Physical Routines: In Zadkiel’s Dream Book and Fortune-Teller (1856), it’s mentioned that “the native may find himself quite unable to pursue usual exercises or sports and instead tries odd, dangerous games or novel calisthenics at hazard.” (p. 33)
