Keep in mind, the Mars Uranus opposition lies across the Virgo / Pisces axis. The signs communicate! The opposition hits the soldier’s chart hard (mine too) and he keeps challenging me.

“So tell me,” he said sitting in the bathtub with me a few days ago. “How much risk would you be willing to take? I mean how high is your…”

I interrupted, “Well let’s see. I left home when I was 15 wearing rubber sandals and without a dime to my name as I recall. Then I stepped out onto the highway and got into a car with five men so yeah. I’d say I can tolerate my share of risk…”

Actually I am a pure daredevil (how could he forget) and what about you?

Does this show in your chart?

submit your own open question

The soldier has an extreme impulse to assert his independence over the weekend. Having copious amounts of this type energy myself, I understand this…

“I just want to go to some bar, sit down, get drunk and bitch about woman at home,” he said.

I laughed. “Yeah, that’d be good. You can tell them you you get breakfast in bed every day of your life, how I cook for you three times a day and you get laid all the time,” I said.

“Well that’s right. I want to go complain about that.”

Do you ever just want to get the hell out? Where is your Jupiter? How about Uranus? I have the two in exact aspect and I have impulse to bolt on a daily basis.

Can you relate?

The Moon in Libra is very well aspected by planets in Leo and Aquarius. It even picks up a square from Jupiter in (miserly) Capricorn which I guess is like getting a dollar tip in 2008.

People are liable to feel good.. They are liable to be benevolent and humanitarian and tip more than a dollar however that Mars Uranus opposition is also exact today so surprise attack / police / accident is always a possibility. A possibility but not a probability especially if these planets are well-aspected in your chart but still it’s very “suicide bomber” if you ask me. Violent sacrifice.

Does not mean there aren’t other ways to play. For example with my Mars in Libra activated I could unexpectedly (Uranus) decide (Libra) to be nice.

Ha ha ha

(This is assuming I could decide something in the first place… doubtful)

Speaking of surprise (Uranus) police (Mars) like when the Police Came To Get Me At The Airport, one time I was pulled over as a rape suspect. I was about 25.

Now I can tell you there is nothing gets your heart pumping like driving home alone late at night, passing a police car, hitting your brakes on reflex only to see them look directly at you as they pass.

Next thing I knew, the cop had made a U-turn and was coming up behind me sirens screaming.  I quickly pulled over with my heart pounding and he was at the side of my window with his gun drawn and pointed at me in all what seemed like 2 seconds. I looked at him dumbly.

Never mind the violence, how about the sex?

With Mars currently opposing Uranus (in Pisces no less), it occurs to me people are going to have impulse to experiment sexually.

I am talking about impulses that come out of nowhere and shock you.

Anyone notice this in yourself or someone around you?

Mars =Speed, Uranus = Lighting

From Yahoo News - Lightning hits 91 spectators at racetrack

” A lightning bolt struck 91 auto racing fans at a racetrack in Norway Sunday, and 45 people were taken to hospital with minor burns, police said.

“No one was seriously injured,” police officer Hans Eng told the Associated Press. “But some of them will stay in the hospital for observation…”

I was thinking about how this Mars opposing Uranus aspect helps to take my mind of the deep trauma courtesy Pluto’s transit to my Moon. I was going to come on here and write about it. I was going to say how with the one transit working on the surface allowed me to leave the other one lie. Because Pluto Moon is a super yin transit anyway. Best to let it do what it does but then I recalled a specific point of trauma which…

Well at the time, I thought I would never tell anyone this but now, almost 4 years later, what the hell.

"I am looking for the jock that goes with the strap that is lying on the floor," I said.

His eyes opened wide, he was speechless and turned all kinds of red.

Mars Uranus - Shock the man. ;)

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.

And violence erupted a second time today, this time I was in my car. I was in the middle lane, three lanes of traffic going in the same direction. There was a Suburban in front of me, trying to change lanes, his right turn signal. He was slowing, so I hit my brakes to allow him space to get over, which he did and after than, I don’t know what happened.

All the sudden, the Suburban pulled back into the center lane, my lane, stopping on a diagonal, completely blocking the lane. Next thing I know this guy is out of this Suburban like this is a movie or something.

He looked big and he was swearing and stuff… at a car in left lane, other side of my car.

Can you see this? I am parked… blocked in on all sides. There is a giant standing in front of my car, right at the bumper. He was not Lou Ferrigno but he was akin to that, with his steroid forehead prominent and me?

Well having Libra so I have to pick a side and the side I have to pick is the weaker one so I can balance. So I immediately decide to defend the guy in the red car. You know. I am going to help the other people pull this big guy off because I am not going to have someone beat someone to death on the hood of my car.

But then the guy in the red car gets out and get this: He’s this smallish Asian man who looks like he just got his hair done because it’s just as slick and trick as it can be guess what? He is not going to take any crap off this dude.

“YOU TRYIN’ TO START SOMETHIN’ WITH ME?’”

The Asian guy said looking very good and ready to fight to the death. And at that, I almost laughed. Because this other guy was huge. He was ENORMO. But the Asian guy was meeeeean. So at that point I decided it was okay if they wanted to fight. I mean, what the hell? Go ahead and fight each other and the rest of us will just wait while you do and after you’re done I’ll clean the blood off my car. But that didn’t happen. They backed each other down and we all went on our way.
