Transit Uranus Trine Natal Mars

“Electric Motivation”

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Uranus Trine Mars transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t act on impulse without thinking things through- Uranus can make you want to take risks, and you might regret snap decisions.
• Don’t pick fights or get into conflicts just for the thrill of it- energy is high, and arguments can escalate fast.
• Don’t make big, life-changing moves (like quitting your job or starting a surprising new relationship) just for the excitement. Excitement fades- make sure it’s what you really want.
• Avoid neglecting your responsibilities. It’s easy to chase new projects and forget about what you’ve already committed to.
• Don’t ignore your physical limits. You might feel like you can take on anything, but accidents or burnout can happen if you’re not careful.
• Don’t rebel against authority just to prove a point or shake things up. Not every tradition or rule needs breaking!
• Avoid acting without considering how your actions might affect others. Uranus-Mars energy is independent, but remember the people around you.
• Don’t jump to conclusions or assume you know what’s best in a situation without checking in with others.
• Try not to multitask too much. Your energy might be scattered if you take on too many new endeavors at once.
• Don’t get swept up in technology or gadgets just because they’re new and flashy. Make sure any new tools or changes really serve you.

Do During This Transit

• Start a new project, especially one that excites you or feels a bit daring.
• Try something out of your comfort zone (think: a new hobby, sport, or adventure).
• Take action on a goal you’ve been just thinking about- now’s the time to actually do it.
• Embrace changes or surprises with a positive attitude- they might lead you to something great.
• Work on your fitness or try a different way to get your body moving.
• Express your independence. Speak up for yourself and don’t be afraid to do things your own way.
• Upgrade your tech, tools, or methods to make life easier or more exciting.
• Team up with friends or coworkers for group projects or activities- you’ll probably get along great.
• Use your energy to break old habits or routines that are holding you back.
• Let yourself get inspired by bold ideas and follow wherever your curiosity leads.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• In “Raphael’s Guide to Astrology” (1877), it’s suggested that Uranus trine Mars can cause a sudden inclination towards unusual or new forms of exercise, particularly those not yet popular- like “bat-fencing or velocipede riding,” which were novelties at the time.
• “Zadkiel’s Legacy, or Writings on Mundane Astrology” (c. 1854) claims this transit could prompt successful experimentation with unconventional machinery or inventions, especially those that aim to save labor or time- like using eccentric gadgets in gardening or domestic tasks.
• In Alan Leo’s “The Key to Your Own Nativity” (1910, pulling from earlier Victorian sources), there’s an observation that this transit tends to favor partnerships with “persons of odd or foreign manner,” especially in athletic or competitive pursuits.
• Richard Morrison (writing as Zadkiel, “The Hand-Book of Astrology,” 1861) mentions this aspect may “divert one towards technical or martial music played on extraordinary instruments,” such as experimenting with the ophicleide or the glass harmonica.
• In “The Astrologer’s Manual” by Sepharial (1898, drawing on 19th-century themes), the author notes this transit is sometimes linked to swiftly gaining mastery or a unique edge in racing sports: “Men suddenly find themselves skilled on the velocipede, or profit in the steeplechase.”
• In “Astrological Judgement Upon Disease” (1845), it’s recounted that a Uranus trine Mars might signal a “salutary shock” to the system, resulting in “a refreshing of the animal spirits after a long vapour or melancholy,” which speaks to an abrupt but welcome boost in energy.
• “Astral Mysteries Unveiled” by Dr. Simmonite (c. 1862) claims this aspect may stir “an itching hand” for experimentation with “galvanic or electrical apparatus,” such as home installations of then-experimental telegraph machines.

Experiencing This Transit

Okay, so when Uranus forms a trine to your natal Mars, things can get seriously exciting- sometimes in ways you never expect. You’ll get a major boost in energy, motivation, and courage. Think of it like a shot of espresso for your confidence and action levels.

This isn’t a stressful aspect- it’s a trine, so the energy flows really well. Uranus is all about surprises, freedom, and shaking things up, while Mars is drive, assertiveness, and physical action. Put those together and you get spontaneous bursts of bravery, an urge to try new things, or a sudden find-your-guts moment where you just go for what you want. You can pretty much trust yourself to act on your impulses- because they’re more aligned with your higher good right now.

It’s also not uncommon to suddenly change direction, either in your job, relationships, or hobbies. The stuff you decide to chase might surprise even you!

Challenges during this transit

• Overdoing it: This boost of impulsiveness sometimes makes you rush into things without thinking about the consequences. For example, you might jump into a new workout routine and strain a muscle, or agree to a spontaneous road trip and forget important details.
• Restlessness: You might feel extra impatient with anything boring or routine. The urge for freedom could make you snap at people or abandon stuff you really should finish.
• Clashing with authority: Uranus likes freedom and Mars doesn’t like being told “no,” so you could butt heads with bosses, parents, police- anyone who tries to hem you in. Sometimes the urge to rebel leads to arguments.
• Too many projects: Ideas come fast, but your energy’s scattered. You might start three or four new things and finish none.

Opportunities during this transit

• Unique victories: This is an awesome time to win competitions, especially ones where thinking outside the box is an advantage. You could come up with a brilliant new move, solution, or strategy that surprises everyone (even you).
• Creative breakthroughs: If you’ve been stuck on a project or problem, sudden inspiration can help you break through. It’s a great time for artists, inventors, athletes- anyone who relies on quick action and innovation.
• Stand up for yourself: Feeling bolder? Use it! It’s easier to assert yourself, ask for a raise, or tell someone how you really feel without being aggressive- just direct and confident.
• Express your individuality: You’ll feel less afraid to be different. Maybe you try out a radical new look, share an opinion you’ve been hiding, or get into a quirky hobby without shame.
• Positive changes in your routine: Experimenting with different ways of working, exercising, or socializing can pay off fast. You could find yourself more productive by shaking up your daily habits.
• Helping others out of nowhere: Like those old astrologers said, you might find yourself “rescuing” someone unexpectedly, or being rescued when you least expect it- sometimes in the smallest, coolest ways.
