Hey Magickal Friends!
It's been an extremely busy summer & to add to it, we just had a baby born into the family💗. I'm behind on literally EVERYTHING! But, I really felt we needed to cover this upcoming conjunction on Monday. A significant astrological event approaches! So hang on as this is
one that promises to awaken our core & may shake the foundation of our spirits. On July 15th, Mars, the fiery planet of action & desire, aligns with Uranus, the revolutionary harbinger of change, at 26 degrees in the stable, earthy sign of Taurus. This conjunction is not just a celestial event; it is a dance of dynamic energies that beckons us to embrace the unexpected and ignite transformation in our lives.
The Role of Uranus is as The Great Awakener in Taurus
In the lush fields of Taurus, a sign that craves stability and pleasure, Uranus acts as the Great Awakener (since 2018). This celestial giant has been reshaping our understanding of security, wealth, and values, from the explosion of digital currencies to the rise of sustainable living. Uranus in Taurus disrupts to rebuild, challenging us to reconsider what we value and why, pushing boundaries towards greater authenticity and liberation from outdated systems.
Mars in Taurus Represents The Flame of Desire and Determination
Mars visits each sign biennially, and its journey through Taurus energizes our actions with a deliberate and sensual vigor. Known for its determination, Taurus channels Mars’ fiery energy into persistent pursuits, favoring actions that yield substantial and enduring outcomes. However, Mars feels restrained in Taurus, as the sign’s Venusian influence tempers Mars’ instinctual drive with a slower, more considered pace.
The Conjunction: A Fusion of Fire and Earth
On July 15th, when Mars meets Uranus, they fuse fire with earth, passion with purpose, creating a potent mix that can both construct and destruct. This alignment is a cosmic call to action—urging us to break free from the shackles of complacency & dare to redefine our paths. It’s an invitation to revolutionize not just our external circumstances but also our internal landscapes.
Potential & Possible Perils
This conjunction is inherently defiant, challenging us to assert our individuality & autonomy in the face of collective norms. It’s a time when sudden insights may lead to abrupt changes, particularly in areas related to Taurus such as finances, material possessions, and personal values. The courage to make pivotal changes could lead to innovative ways of improving our quality of life.
However, Mars’ proximity to Uranus can also heighten impulsivity and risk-taking, making this period potentially volatile. The energy is electric, possibly sparking sudden conflicts or accidents if not navigated with awareness. Therefore, it is wise to channel this energy constructively rather than reactively, to harness the transformative potential without the chaos.

Hold the stone in your hand & speak your intention out loud to embrace change & invite transformation.
Burn the piece of paper with the flame of the red candle (safely in your cauldron or fireproof vessel), symbolizing the destruction of obstacles.
Carry the stone with you or place it under your bed on 'your' side until the changes manifest.
Financial Stability & Innovation Spell
Here is a simple ingredient spell that magickally goes a long way!

Celestial Musings
A point to consider, as Mars conjuncts Uranus in the grounding sign of Taurus, the most profound transformations often start with a single, bold step (why do I feel as if I just channeled Dumbledore with that thought🤣).
Embrace the energies of change & let them guide you toward the unexpected paths that await. Let the magick of the cosmos inspire you to create, challenge & change with courage & conviction.
