Mars with Uranus in Aries
The recent Mar’s ingress in Aries occurred on December 23. It will stay in Aries till February 21. The transit of Mars in the sidereal Aries is likely to dominate the headlines for January and February, especially for January when it closely conjuncts (within 3 degrees) the most powerful fiery planet, Uranus during January 14-26.
Mars is the planet of action, energy, and strength. When Mars is in Aries, it loves to rule, lead, and dominate the surroundings. Thus, for a fiery and action-oriented dominating planet like Mars, it’s the perfect setting to “explode” with tremendous strength. And the manifestation of that energy will be reflected in both the material and spiritual levels with tremendous ups and downs that will be intensely felt by the entire world, especially by the military personnel, sportsmen, warriors, fighters, commanders, leaders in almost every field (especially in politics and business). Also, the transit of Mars means volatility in international as well as in national politics and in the financial markets.
Probably one of the most important planetary combinations of 2021 is the Mars-Uranus conjunction. Although the close conjunction occurs during January 14-26, its effects will last through February 21.
Aries is very suitable for independent, ambitious, energetic, impulsive, and crazy Uranus. The changes in the world political landscape have been tremendously influenced by Uranus’s transit in Aries (Brexit’s revival, Britain intensely suffering from Covid-19 crisis, the inauguration of president-elect Joe Biden as the next President of the United States of America, etc.,). Now combine Uranus’s energy with that of explosive and impulsive Mars – it’s a perfect recipe for disaster if these energies are not properly aligned. The rising Covid-19 saga in Britain and the political divide in the United States will certainly make big headlines during January, especially during January 14-26 period.
The people who are most affected by this conjunction are military personnel, people in power such as business leaders and political leaders. In scientific and technological areas expect drastic changes, and emerging new ideas will find their ways into innovations and discoveries. Since the characteristics of Uranus are closely tied with that of the United States as a country, and especially with the state of California, Oregon, and Washington, Uranus-Mars conjunction can bring extraordinary natural and man-made calamities, political and financial events till February 21.
Furthermore, deadly and chaotic Uranus-Saturn square (within three degrees) during Jan 18 – July 19 and then during the entire month of December 2021 will certainly be another unprecedented major planetary combination of 2021. The manifestation of this undesirable planetary square is likely to be reflected in both the natural and man-made turmoil causing destruction and loss of lives during this period – a return of Covid-19 pandemic or other new virus related crisis, war, climate crisis, an uprising in the Middle-East, Russia and even in the United States are certainly some of the possibilities.
