Hello Dear Friends and Readers, if you’ve been following my blog for awhile you know I am a working astrologer.  It’s not that the more esoteric, mystical interpretations of planets and transits don’t work — they do — but I tend to bring astrology down to earth in a practical way because that is what my clients seem to need. Read on for an example of Mars and Uranus in the last degrees of Aries —  conjunct in February 2019…

My client was worried about her grown children. Starting in November 2018, we had reviewed her chart. I was worried, too. She has a Moon-Mars conjunction in her natal chart, in Aries, in her 4th house of home and family.  Mars is in the 29th degree, and any 29 is considered a critical degree.  The first pass of transiting Uranus came earlier, and the beloved family dog was killed when it got out of the house ran into the street and was hit by a car.  Her son immediately built a fence around the yard so the little grandkids couldn’t get to the street.  So Uranus entered Taurus and time passed with no other obvious incident until November — Uranus retrograde on 11-7 2018, back into Aries in the last two degrees until it re-enters Taurus on 3-6-19.  I kept warning my client to emphasize safety. I saw that in February 2019 Mars would be transiting the last few degrees of Aries, conjunct transiting Uranus again at the 29th degree. A double whammy, AND right on top of her NATAL Moon-Mars conjunction. I was so concerned that I called 2 other astrologers to talk it over, and one other very intuitive friend.  I asked my client to make sure the chimney was clean, change the smoke alarms’ batteries, check the electric plugs and wiring, ?install a lightning rod? , etc. etc.  Of course, the health and safety of her children was also discussed at length. She got one son into rehab and we thought maybe that was enough to diffuse the energy of that potentially malefic transit.

But even after he was in rehab, I was still worried and so was my client because her youngest, a  grown daughter, was ignoring signs from the Universe that she needed to take her life seriously.  There’s a myth in this society that the love of a good woman will reform an outlaw.  This is total nonsense but young women keep trying and usually end up heartbroken. So her mother talked to her, I did her transits and sent her a copy of her chart, and both of us reminded her that hanging out with an outlaw kind of guy was dangerous. Then a big truck semi side-swiped her little car when she was with him. No one was hurt. Did she learn? NO !!  At the end of January, she drove his car and the police stopped them and she got a DUI. After being handcuffed and put in jail, she was totally humbled and upset and said no more drinking and no more outlaw. Her mother was very upset but also relieved because she hoped her daughter truly meant it this time. She’d had plenty of warnings from the Universe; I’m not sharing them all in this post. But that the way things work — we get a little nudge —“Hey, you need to pay attention to this and take care of it”. If we ignore, then we get a bigger shake —“Hey, no fooling around, take care of this !!” And if we still don’t get it, the 3rd time we get clobbered.  Actually, it’s a benevolent Universe, giving us plenty of warning that our own karma is going to get us.

Anyway, here’s the end of the story.  I had warned my client, the mother, that the most critical time in her chart was February 6th through the 17th, when the transiting Mars and Uranus were conjunct and on her own Moon-Mars.   She changed plans, stayed home, prayed for her kids.  After having to go to court and face the judge by herself,  and upset and depressed, the daughter decided on February 5th to drive to her mother’s house (in another town) and spend the night there. At midnight, February 6th had just begun, my client woke up suddenly. She checked on her family and all were safe and sleeping. She read for awhile and finally went back to sleep. In the early morning,  all her daughters’ friends were calling. The outlaw boy had been driving his truck, very drunk, and crashed into the river. The only thing that kept him alive was the very cold water. He had skull fractures, facial fractures, spinal damage. It took hours for the  EMTs to extricate him and get him to the hospital. As of this writing, he is still alive and still in the hospital, with brain damage.   If my client’s daughter had been with him, she might have died. She knew it, her mother knew it, and I knew it. We were all so thankful and prayed that the man, even though he is an outlaw, might redeem his life and do some good in this world.

I sent my mind over to their  town and still felt that something else could happen. I called my client and said keep your guard up and stay vigilant.  That night, in the middle of the night, her daughter-in law woke up suddenly and heard a noise. She got up and went to check what it could be. A wall heater that hadn’t worked in months had suddenly clicked on. Why, we will never know, but the daughter-in-law realized there was a couch too close to that heater and moved it away. When she told my client the next morning, we realized truly there were angels protecting them because that heater could have caused a fire (Uranus-Mars — again!!)

Now Mars is in Taurus and things seem to have calmed down for this family.  The daughter will have to deal with the consequences of the DUI for a year, but she is in school and working, and seems to have learned to be more serious and responsible.  Time will tell…The outlaw guy is now in a position where he cannot hurt anyone.   And we all learned a lot about the accident potential on a Mars-Uranus conjunction.

May you all learn from this true story.  And I hope you never have to go through anything like this, ever.  When Mars comes around to your natal Uranus, accent safety and I always call it a “no fly zone” and tell my clients not to fly and to be extra careful…Mars goes around the wheel of the chart once every 2 years. The Uranus conjunction in my client’s chart was once in a lifetime…

Still working on Uranus in Taurus…stayed tuned…Namaste, Jenae
