A reconsideration of what inspires you to take action and this allows you time and space to re-evaluate what major transformations you want to develop to keep up with how the world is progressing. Living your life the way you did will no longer serve you well. What has previously been considered as your priorities will shift or be prepared for elimination in preparation for a series of upgrades. It won’t happen in a hurry, its’ gradual but it will have the potential to be groundbreaking.

Uranus and Pluto are strong instigators of change, but they function differently from each other. Sudden jolts out of the blue are caused by Uranus and transformations are brought by Pluto. Fortunately, during this transit they cooperate rather than conflict with each other. Radical empowerment and breakthroughs are able to progress with little hindrance to get in the way of the process. Information gained through new technologies and discoveries will create a new future when stepping away from the past may be escalated. Who has power over how it functions for society and who can have access will be widely discussed. Digital communities and artificial intelligence are the main factors to gain public attention at the moment.

Sudden enlightenment will occur for some, which will open up a new world of possibilities to them that they have previously overlooked. The future and how you want it to be developed can be visualised and the advances in technology will be of great assistance to you.

Mars conjunction Uranus in Gemini 4th July 2026

Mars is conjunction Uranus at 3 degrees 52 minutes Gemini at 6.08 am GMT 7.08 am BST 4th July 2026.

A plan of action taken during this transit will involve sudden stops and starts due to new information or alterations that have to be made at short notice. Mental energy may go in many directions at once rather than fixed at one specific target. The ability to multitask is revealed and if it needs improvement this is the chance to do so. Surprising news and exciting technological innovations will be highlighted and impossible to ignore. Thoughts and concepts may arrive out of the blue that allow you to break away from the influence of past experiences that have restrained what you do in the present day. If there are any confrontations or battles that you have to deal with, the best tactic is to use your intelligence rather than brute force. Words can be weaponised and there may be fighting talk. However, in many cases it will be little more than sabre rattling.

Mars in Taurus square retrograde Pluto in Aquarius 26th May 2026

Mars at 5 degrees 25 minutes Taurus is square retrograde Pluto at 5 degrees 25 minutes Aquarius at 3.56 am GMT 4.56 am BST 26th May 2026.

There may be a point where patience wears thin and tolerance reaches an end, when there has been persistent provocation from those who have abused their position of power. This will be particularly apparent in world wide events. Pressure can build up to a peak where there will be confrontation with the slow speed of progress. Caution with control over resources is one of the obstacles in the way. Perseverance is necessary to push forward with making transformation that are needed. On the plus side, major challenges can be conquered with a steady use of energy. Strategic rather than reactive is best.

Mars at 19 degrees 30 minutes Aries is square Jupiter at 19 degrees 30 minutes Cancer at 2.09 am GMT 3.09 am BST 5th May 2026.

Impulsive action when more is promised than can be delivered, even if your heart is in the right place, will bring a set of challenges that didn’t have to be created. It’s not recommended to accept a task that you believe you can fulfil, but are at a high risk of failing due to a lack of skills or experience. For some, they may feel they are fighting a battle they have little faith in their ability to win. In tough times fortune can be around the corner. What appears to be bad luck in the moment can put you on the right path for the future.

Mars conjunction Saturn in Aries 19th April 2026

Mars is in conjunction with Saturn at 7 degrees 52 minutes Aries at 10.45 pm GMT 11.45 pm BST 19th April 2026.

If you want to get plenty of work done without your energy waning, this is a fantastic transit to make it happen. Hard physical work that requires concentration is favoured during this time. Don’t expect it all to go smoothly, as there will be frustration and irritation with the slightest hindrance. Being easily deterred is unlikely, instead there is a drive to go “full steam ahead”. Normally when Mars is conjunction Saturn the influence of Saturn can hold back the influence of Mars. However, as this conjunction is in Aries it won’t apply here.

This transit is an excellent opportunity to initiate the process long lasting progress by clearing the old debris out of the way to start again with a clean slate. Old habitual patterns can be broken and the power that was rightfully yours but previously out of reach is now yours to claim. An intense psychological transformation as a result of hidden truths that now come to light can be reassuring if you were right all along. The ways in which you were controlled in the past will no longer be effective now. For many there is a great awakening and they are prepared to do something about it without being intimidated by those who are not used to being challenged.

Mars conjunction Neptune in Aries 13th April 2026

Mars and Neptune are in conjunction at 2 degrees 39 minutes Aries at 5.31 am GMT 6.31 am BST 13th April 2026.

Boundaries are dissolved that would otherwise your ability to take action on where you feel your calling lies. If a boost of courage is needed for you to take the initiative to go for your dreams and fulfil your ideals, this is when you can receive it. Make sure you have prepared a clear plan of action though. If you don’t you may achieve very little by chasing an illusion that you won’t be able to get to. For some, there is a drive to help those who are not able to fight for or defend themselves. Impulsive behaviour may be well intentioned but will be misguided resulting in confusion about what to do next. Acting based on false assumptions will backfire, so be careful.
