Transit Mars Square Uranus: Impatience and Sudden Breaks

Transit Mars square Uranus is a few days when a person cannot tolerate being restricted, nerves run high and sudden moves look tempting. Mars forms a 90-degree angle to natal Uranus; the tension rises toward exactness and dies down quickly afterwards. The square occurs twice in each two-year Mars cycle.

Why does transit Mars square Uranus feel so restless?

Mars wants action and Uranus wants freedom; in a square the pair produces tension ready to snap. A manager's instruction feels unbearable, a last-minute change of plan triggers anger, and in a relationship the urge to say "enough" appears. Technical glitches and unexpected changes can disrupt the agenda. Poor sleep and inner agitation are familiar features of these days too.

Conscious change instead of a knee-jerk reaction

The message of this aspect is often valid: something really does want to change. The problem is doing it in a flash of anger. Planning the change instead of slamming the door both preserves the energy and carries it through to a result. In tasks that feel urgent, keeping a steady rhythm and taking one step at a time is especially valuable now. During a Mars retrograde the square can perfect three times and the same restlessness returns for weeks. The house ruled by natal Uranus, the one with Aquarius on the cusp, may feel the jolt as well.

• Assess decisions to break away after the aspect has passed.
• Give surplus energy to intense but balanced exercise.
• Keep the schedule flexible and leave room for surprises.
