Again, for those who resonate with Western/Tropical
astrology... ;) Came across this excellent article as
well amongst so many around this notable configuration,
which offers another interpretive angle on Algol from
Divine Feminine contexts that really rings my bells... ;)
They also track the Mars/Uranus cycle back from 2022 as
it leads into this, and forward into 2025...
***
Not since August 2022 have we experienced Mars and Uranus
coming together, but the dynamic duo will align in the
sky on July 15, 2024, at 26 degrees of Taurus, which
also, coincidentally or not, happens to be the home of
Algol, one of the most notorious stars in Astrology.
Algol has long been feared by ancient astrologers. They
looked at its glow and likened it to the eye of the
devil. Terrible omens were connected to this star and it
seemed to be one that our ancestors feared as a harbinger
of destruction and chaos.
But, of course, in modern astrology we tend to take a
more neutral approach and try to dig a little deeper into
what the essence of this star may be. It is also
worthwhile noting that many stars that were connected to
deep feminine power seem to have received such a bad
wrap.
When looking a little deeper, Algol is a powerful
feminine energy that is not fearful but rather,
misunderstood. It is easy to write Algol off as a
harbinger of destruction, but when you look deeper at her
story, you see a powerful feminine warrior that can
protect, shapeshift, and knows her own strength.
In modern astrology, Algol is considered the star of
transformation and protection. Through every rebirth that
Algol goes through, she becomes stronger, more awakened,
and more powerful. She represents the forgotten feminine
power, that once remembered would allow us to birth a new
world.
You can dive deeper into the story of Algol here.
With Mars and Uranus aligning on Algol however, it seems
that an awakening is being instiled. It seems that we are
perhaps being called to awaken and remember the feminine
powers that live within all of us.
It seems that perhaps we are being called to transform
into a higher version of ourselves, no matter how it may
look on the outside. Perhaps it is only by leaning into
our power and shedding, and releasing what others think
of us, that we are able to step into this new chapter.
Mars and Uranus coming together is definitely a call to
shed all that is no longer authentic to our being. Mars
offers courage and confidence, and Uranus offers us the
will to step out of the status quo and to follow the tune
of our own drum.
This can be a powerful mix, with Algol chiming in too,
reminding us of our strength to rebirth ourselves and to
come into higher states of consciousness and power.
Mars and Uranus have long been a signature for upheaval
and rebellion. Sometimes, we can see this manifest on the
world stage as protests or a desire to overthrow
authority figures. We can feel irritated by being
controlled or made to feel small. We can feel a rumbling
to stand up for ourselves and what we believe is true.
If we track the cycle of Mars and Uranus, we can begin to
piece together where we are being called to step into a
great authenticity, stand up for ourselves, and perhaps
embrace some change.

Dates for the Mars-Uranus Cycle
August 2, 2022: Mars Conjunct Uranus
This first alignment of Mars and Uranus was the opening
point of our cycle. Can you recall what Mars/Uranus
themes were happening for you at this time? This
conjunction also occurred in Taurus, but instead of
Algol’s energy being present, the North Node was. This
would have been a pivotal point where a seed of greater
authenticity and freedom was planted. Perhaps we realized
that we wanted to move forward, something needed to
change, and this something probably required us to step
up and find a new layer of confidence.
June 26, 2023: Mars Square Uranus
Uranus was still in Taurus but now with Mars in Leo, the
two planets would be 90 degrees from each other and in a
critical point. More to the story would have been
revealed, perhaps the fiery and playful energy of Leo
allowed us to feel more optimistic and this point in our
journey.
November 11, 2023: Mars Opposite Uranus
Mars is now in Scorpio, sitting directly opposite Uranus
in Taurus on the wheel of the zodiac. This was a key
point in this cycle, and perhaps when we reached a moment
of deeper clarity and understanding. Maybe the changes
that had been slowly unfolding are now able to be
recognized. Maybe any hostility or uncertainty is
beginning to soften and new understanding is emerging.
March 9, 2024: Mars Square Uranus
This is the final descent of this cycle which brings us
up to now, where we are beginning a new one. Uranus is
still in Taurus, but this time Mars was in Aquarius.
Perhaps we were feeling more vocal in expressing what we
need and the changes we need to take place. Maybe we felt
inspired to unlock a new level of freedom when it came to
our voice. The events of this time have now led us up to
July 15, where the cycle is completed and a new one will
begin.
This time, it seems the new cycle is calling for us to
welcome our receptive, more intuitive, and maternal
sides.
Here are the future dates for this current Mars Uranus
cycle:
July 15, 2024: Mars conjunct Uranus
June 15, 2025: Mars Square Uranus
November 4, 2025: Mars Opposite Uranus
February 27, 2026: Mars Square Uranus
July 4, 2026: Mars conjunct Uranus (new cycle begins)
Try tracking this cycle in your own life to see what
themes unfold for you.
