Astrology Today - Unexpected Violence: Don’t Try This At Home
My eye on the sky
Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury are still in Leo so there is a lot of fire and shine out there, however it is time to start talking about Mars opposing Uranus, exact on August 6th.
Mars in aspect to Uranus is a classic signature for danger in the form of sudden violence. Some astrologers will scare the hell out of you with this… tell you not to leave the house and it’s not that I disagree with them, it’s just that I know very well you do not have to leave the house to get hurt!
For example, one year Mars was transiting conjunct my natal Uranus exact. My daughter was a baby at the time and I used to make her food, fresh in the blender. I woke up that morning, blurry-eyed from fatigue the way it is when you’re caring for an infant and stumbled into the kitchen to make a batch of whatever it was. Peas, I think.
So I dumped the stuff in the blender and it was whirring away (Mars / metal) when I decided to check the consistency by sticking my finger in there.
Well yeah. I stuck my finger a little too far down and it got sliced (suddenly / Uranus) but here’s the freakish part:
I was barely hurt. The thing sliced my finger s finely but what happened that was shocking (Uranus) is my blood (Mars) went EVERYWHERE.
I mean there were specks of blood, tiny, very tiny specks on everything. My blood was on the stove, the window, the curtains, the ceiling and the opposite wall. My blood was on the light switch, the sink and the toaster. It was just this phenomenal spray / fling of my blood and after wrapping up my bleeding finger in a towel I had to laugh. That’s astrology for you.
So yeah. Do beware out there, especially of Mars type things (metal, fire, guns, knives, etc.) One more thing:
Those with an unconscious Mars are far more likely to have an injury than those who express their Mars freely (Uranus).
Anyone else have an unexpected violence story?

How soon does this type of thing manifest? I ask b/c I burned my hands 3 times this week (twice yesterday!) in class - all very unexpected, b/c I NEVER burn myself in class! One time, my baking partner wasn’t paying attn while pulling out a pan & caught the back of my hand with it…Maybe I just need to start expressing myself more?
I noticed a very bizarre thing that I do earlier this week (it revolved around that same baking partner). I have a LOT of inner thoughts that I THINK I am expressing, but am not. For instance, on one occasion, we had to rotate the pans in the ovens & in my head I’m practically screaming the instructions to her (”move that pan from the bottom to the middle & turn, now move the other pan, no! to the right, the right!!” haha), but NOTHING is coming out of my mouth. Very bizarre, right? Here I am looking at her like, “why aren’t you doing what I’m telling you to do?” and yet, I’m not saying anything!!
This also brought to mind a thing I do where I hum a response to people…In my mind, the words are being used, but what comes out is a hum [two main series of notes, I've noticed]…my man makes fun of me for this all the time, but I think it’s related b/c again, I THINK I am expressing myself (talking), when I am most definitely NOT. Granted, if you spend enough time w/me, you can distinguish a “thank you” hum from a “put that over there” hum…LMAO! But, why can’t I just say the words??
My Mars is in Gemini (Mercury in Aries), so I shouldn’t have problems like this. However, my Mars is also conjunct Saturn, so I think that’s what causes these incidents of being stunted in my communication. Of course, now that I’m aware of it, I can deal w/it better. But, I just think it’s strange…does this happen to anyone else??
(Sorry, got off on a tangent there!)
sliced my finger nearly to the bone cutting mochi a few years back.
it was a really sharp knife, though, so it healed up quite nicely.
and there was the time the erhlenmeyer flask exploded in my hand when i put the plug in a little too hard… and that time i dropped a pyrex… both cases i didn’t even know i’d caught glass in my hand until a couple minutes later, when i realized i was bleeding.
most of my scars are on my hands… i chalk it up to a mercury/uranus/saturn t square 
LOL @ my transits on Aug 6th.
Elsa - thank you! I was wondering what was wrong w/me, b/c like I said, I almost NEVER burn myself! (Although, when I do have accidents, they are almost always burns, or cuts from knives & sometimes glass shards.)
For joy! My Uranus opposition is exact this week, so I get a double whammy from Mars conjunct and opposing the transit and natal. I can’t effin’ wait.
I was wondering about the whole Mars/Uranus thing when I heard about that poor guy who got stabbed on the bus in Canada. Just a kid sitting there listening to his iPod or whatever then wham! a few minutes later his now-severed head is being brandished like some freakish trophy & his blood is just everywhere too. WTF?
Hi Elsa! I’ve been reading your site this year, and I really enjoy learning about transits and everyone’s stories and experiences with them. I have a question for everyone, though. Will the transit have the same effect if the mars/uranus opposition squares my natal mars/uranus conjunction in sag and transiting uranus is 3 degrees from my sun? Does what Elsa described only happen with exact conjunctions through transits? I just went on astrodienst to try to figure this out, but I’m not sure if I’m reading the chart right.
Jeez Jilly..
Here is another story:

Wow usually mary jane makes a person mellow. 
b-day of poor kid on the bus:
September 24, 1985
Suzette: sounds like a good time to take up something like aerobics, lol.
Seriously though, exercising is a fantastic way of expressing Mars for some folks.
Wyrdling: thanks for the insight. I have the same T-square and my hands are riddled with scars, too. I never put two and two together before…Uranus is conjunct my MC, and so the majority of my hand scars are work related!
i have mars sextile uranus. i don’t know if that’s what causes it or not, but have a definite tendency to be accident-prone. i wasn’t tracking the astrology at the time i’ve had more significant accidents (breaking wrist, ending up on crutches with a hurt ankle, etc.), but i’m definitely clumsy.
goddess, I have Mars sextile Uranus too but I’ve never been really accident prone *knock wood*
But this worries me, I will be very careful with all sharp things, Elsa’s story is horrifying. Plus my Mars is on a t-square with Mercury, I shall watch my hands!
Humm. Troubling. I have a uranus opposition this year plus lots of natal planets with aspects to uranus. Maybe this is what’s been building in my psyche. I’ve been very uncomfortable in my skin and pessimistic. Had a dream this a.m. that I was killed while riding my bike. WTF?
In addition to being extra cautious, I am trying to think of alternative ways to express and discharge Mars energy in a positive way in attempt to stave off harm …how about computer games like Everquest 2 which involve a lot of fighting weapons slashing and noise. Playing an instrument which has metal strings. Jumping into some martial arts which involves (something similar to) yelling. Drumming? Can anyone help me out with some other ideas, and does anyone think this might help?
Things I’ve done to try to ground out my prominent Mars:
1. Playing rock and roll music on a musical instrument.
2. Target practice or clay target sports.
3. Exercise.
4. Reading about courageous people / deities / wrathful deities.
5. Strip / refinish furniture or some project requiring hammering or deconstructing.
I am also open to any other ideas.
Ja, interesting….wasn’t totally conscious of astrology at the time but a few years ago my son and daughter (very little people) were sitting on the countertop in the kitchen and proceeded to have a fight over the blender. Big fight, little finger (of my daughter) got cut, but not badly) and blood splattered on the ceiling. WOnder if it was the same time.
Well, probably should leave the house…that way in case anything does happen, someone is around to know you need help!
