COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon continues in grounding, sensual Taurus. We also have four planets in steamy, sultry Scorpio now – including the passionate love duo of Venus and Mars!

Additionally, motivating Mars is harmoniously trine to change agent Uranus – the perceived planet of originality and innovation – ideally helping us to view or restructure our lives in ways that feel more liberating. Even making minor changes now may serve us well, in the long run, as we are essentially building in more adaptability skills to leverage in the future.

I have also listed down below, different events that have occurred in recent years, with Mars-Uranus.

Activities Spotlighted Today: Boating, fishing, dancing, research, studying astrology (Uranus rules astrology), meditation, treasure-hunting, reviewing insurance and financial matters, theater, music, painting, sculpting, ceramics, romance, gardening, baking, massage, facials.

On This Date In History:

October 24, 1901: Anna Taylor becomes the first woman in history to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. At the time of this feat, the Moon was passing through aquatic Pisces; the Sun had also just entered the resourceful/life or death sign of Scorpio and was exactly trine to Neptune.  Neptune and Pisces both rule boating – and in this case – barreling! Additionally, that day, Venus – governing women – was conjunct out-of-the-box (but in the barrel!) Uranus in adventurous Sagittarius. 🙂

In the News:

Almost 400,000 classified field reports from the Iraqi War were released by Wikileaks on Friday, the same day we had the Full Moon in Aries.  Aries rules war and the military. Full moons tend to deliver illuminations/revelations/final results.

Mars – the ruler of Aries – was also in investigative Scorpio and applying to an exact trine to disruptive rebel Uranus in hidden, behind-the-scenes Pisces.

Some other notable events with Mars trine Uranus in the recent past:

1) Oct 29, 2008 – Delta Airlines merged with Northwest Airlines forming the world’s largest commercial air carrier. At the time, Mars was also deposited in transformational Scorpio and trine to aviation-ruling Uranus in Pisces.

2) Nov 4, 2008 – Barrack Obama is elected President of the U.S. Mars in Scorpio was separating 2 degrees from another trine to Uranus in Pisces.  Obama ran on a “platform of change (Uranus).”

3) May 17, 2004 – Massachusetts legalizes same-sex marriage in compliance with a ruling from the state’s Supreme Judicial Court (Goodridge v. Department of Public Health). Mars is in the home and family-oriented sign of Cancer trine Uranus in Pisces. Mars rules, among other things, sexuality matters, and Uranus is often predominant with issues of equality.

4) November 25, 2002 – U.S. President George W. Bush signs the Homeland Security Act into law, creating the Department of Homeland Security, in the largest U.S. government reorganization since the Department of Defense was created in 1947.

Mars – ruling defense, the military, and self-preservation – was in Libra, which governs justice and the law, and trine to Uranus in collective-ruling Aquarius. Also at the time, expansive Jupiter was in leadership Leo and sextile to transforming Pluto in Sagittarius, the sign associated with foreign policy matters. Pluto’s ray is often paired with terrorism/subversive groups; the Homeland Security department was largely a response to 9/11.
