Uranus-North Node-Mars Conjunction in Taurus 2022- Seismic Collective Shifts in Humanity

The momentous astrological event of 2022-the triple conjunction of Uranus, North node and Mars is set to occur at 19 degrees of Taurus on 1st August 2022. This relatively rare planetary alignment last occurred in April of 2007 in the sign of Pisces. That period marked the beginning of what we know as of today as the ‘The global financial crisis of 2007-2009’ or ‘the great recession’. It began with the decade long expansion in the US housing market that peaked in 2006 and by the year 2007, the losses on mortgage related financial assets began to strain the global financial markets that resulted in the US economy entering an economic recession. The Subprime crisis which began as excessive risk-taking by global financial institutions culminated in a perfect storm that fueled a financial collapse that trickled over the entire global markets with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

The reverberations of this upcoming significant configuration will echo throughout the latter half of the year and into the year 2023 until Uranus finally leaves the earth sign of Taurus in the year 2025; remarkably altering our world as well as our collective consciousness.

Uranus, the outer planet that represents revolutions and evolutions through sudden shocking changes and crisis meets up with Mars, the planet ruling energy, passion, war and aggression. This convergence happens with the fated North node also known as Rahu and thus this event is highly karmic for the future of entire humanity.

Quantum Leap in Human evolution

On a higher octave this cosmic alignment represents the energy of a major evolution and a breakthrough in the history of humanity which may happen through a shocking event or a series of events that unfolds over time leading to massive collective awakening in human consciousness. But like everything has two sides to it, on a lower scale when not handled consciously such energies could result in major accidents, crisis and conflicts. As Mars the god of war, weapons and aggression is also involved in this conjunction.

It would be wise to also consider the square that is also occurring during this time between Uranus in Taurus and Saturn which is in Aquarius as that will significantly add to these celestial energies which will be evident in our world in the times to come as all saturnian structures of our world like the Financial, Banking, political etc. will appear to be breaking down.

The conjunction of Uranus, Mars and North node embodies revolutionary energies that could shake up the status quo of our world and structures as we know of. With the great Saturn Jupiter conjunction of December 2020 and the Pluto- Saturn conjunction of January 2020 that ushered a complete transformation of our world, this event will sow the seeds for the future of humanity.

Uranus like the outer planets are considered transcendental planets requiring an expanded consciousness in order for their energies to be utilized constructively. As prominent astrologer Robert Hand puts it “these planets represent pathways out of the limitations of normal consciousness”.

Uranus is associated with breaking the rules and disrupting the established order. It seeks to overturn traditions and convention and towards freedom and liberty. Uranus transits indicates that we are being asked to change radically however these transits can feel extremely disruptive. On a collective level it’s here to shake us up and awaken to our true spiritual human essence.

The transformative process will certainly not be comfortable even though it happens in the sign of the security and comfort loving Taurus. For Uranus’s themes juxtaposes those of Taurus’s. Uranus ushers extreme instability for accelerating the process of evolution.

Dramatic Changes in our Values

Uranus has been traversing the sign of Taurus since the year 2018, so the fixed signs especially Taurus and Scorpios have experienced a complete 360-degree transformation in their values and their belief structures. On a collective level with the powerful Saturn-Pluto Conjunction in Capricorn of January 2020 as well as the great Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius in December of 2020, the great awakening of humanity accelerated.

In the aftermath of the Pandemic the world witnessed millions of people quitting their jobs which is now famously called “The great Resignation”. It was a long time coming and it had already started before that but with the occurrence of these cosmic alignments the momentum escalated.

People had been tired of being miserable and burned out in their meaningless, unfulfilling jobs where they felt trapped due to their student loans, societal conventions and expectations as well as personal identity issues. The Pandemic and the worldwide lockdowns compelled people to re-examine their lives and to see what was truly important to them whilst also facing the issue of death. On a collective level, People around the world have undergone a massive collective questioning of the true meaning of life and what constitutes a ‘quality Life’. People realized spending a majority of their waking hours in work that does not serve their higher purpose was not what they saw themselves doing forever. They began valuing the importance of families and support systems and other aspects of life that have more meaning over mindless accumulation of things.

Shattering Historical Paradigms

More and more people are now taking risks and using their creative forces to build their individualistic authentic lives. Conscious living and intentional communities are popping up and becoming more accepted all around the world where they are building their own decentralized self-sustaining societies independent of the mainstream one.

The old Saturnian structures- banking, medical, education, corporate media are breaking and falling apart and the newer generations are propelling this progressive move forward. With the increase in the self-awareness and getting off of the hamster wheel, people are realizing that they cannot keep doing the same things the older generations did. This is the vibration of the planet Uranus and Mars that also rule Anarchy. They desire to break free from the over structuring and excessive regulatory framework imposed by Saturn.

Global Financial Crisis

The last time Uranus was in Taurus was during the period 1934–1941 which marked the historic period of ‘the Great Depression’, where humanity witnessed a complete disruption of economic and social stability. As Taurus rules over the financial and monetary system, and Uranus the great disrupter and revolutionary planet is expected to bring about a similar effects this time.

With the Covid pandemic restrictions of the past two years resulting in stalling of the world’s main economic powerhouses, the global economic climate is already in a precarious situation. With this triple conjunction of Uranus, mars and North node in the sign ruling over resources and finances, the world may soon be teetering on the edge of a global recession.

Despite the global slowdown, inflation has been rapidly escalating, in part due to the rising food and energy prices. The Housing market crisis is intensifying in addition and with the Russian invasion of Ukraine- the economic sanctions imposed, the world could witness a further geopolitical fragmentation that could impede global trade and cooperation that could have disastrous repercussions on all economies.

 It is worth noting that all the renowned economists are projecting an upcoming global recession, some have gone as far as to say it could be similar to the one experienced in the 1930’s which coincided with the previous Uranus in Taurus cycle that was triggered by a massive stock market crash. The period saw massive unemployment, negative GDP growth rate and worldwide bank failures along with vanishing purchasing power of currency.

According to Renowned financial Astrologer L.J Jensen in his seminal work “Astro cycles and speculative markets 1978” – when the slow moving planets Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter make a 90 degree or a 180 degree angle with each other, these periods in business cycles are said to coincide with periods of economic depression and global financial upheavals especially if they occur in the Earth signs of Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn.

If we correlate this with the current celestial configuration, Saturn and Uranus are making an applying square or a 90-degree angle which will perfect exactly in the month of October 2022.

Mass Rebellion and Protests

Crude prices are already at multi year highs now. Apart from the US, Europe is facing economic recession in multiple member nations and along with that interest rates are rising. It is being speculated that many countries have gone back decades in terms of economic progress in the pandemic’s aftermath. According to the latest economic report by the International Monetary Fund dated July 2022 that describes the global economic outlook as “Gloomy and more uncertain”. It outlines “the hyperinflationary conditions could cause widespread food insecurity and social unrest.

Uranus’s vibration is sudden and with high momentum and it is responsible for creating big energy shifts. Mars on the other hand represents the archetype of a warrior with themes such as intolerance for anything that is too restrictive. With these two energies coming together we get a collective desire for liberation and non-submissiveness and thus act as a trigger for widespread mass dissatisfaction all over the world with their current ruling system.

Technological Revolution and The Decentralized movement

With the Applying Uranus-Saturn Square, we have already been witnessing the growing momentum in refuting concentrated leadership in favor of the collective, by creating movements where power is decentralized thus shattering the norms as we progress forward. With Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of the greatest technological revolution and the birth of the first blockchain network; the seeds of the global decentralized movement was sown.

With the threats of complete digitization and cash being replaced by programmable Central Bank Digital currency all over the world along with technological revolutions such as Neuralink- implantable brain–machine interfaces that seeks to change our very human essence; our security foundations are being shaken up.

As a result, Uranus’s energy is manifesting as the need to establish independence from all institutions and in all spheres of life and not just the financial. The result is ongoing development of the alternatives- the decentralized internet- Web 3.0, decentralized finance (DeFi); alternative healthcare, alternative education systems, alternative communities etc.

This is the classic manifestation of Uranus-Saturn battle. Uranus which is associated with innovative technologies is compelling us to bringing about radical changes in our world with intuitive flashes of energy leading to new discoveries and overturning of old redundant ideas and ways of doing things. While the archetypal energy of Saturn wants to maintain the old power structures and control and thus attempting to resist the progress and evolution humanity is being called towards.

Changes in the Food and Agriculture sector

The compounding damage from the Covid 19 pandemic, and the global war magnified the slowdown in the economies worldwide. There are already numerous reports of supply chain disruptions as well as food shortages that have been popping up for a while. As well as massive Farmer protests and agriculture movements all around the world to free the food sector from decades of corporatocracy.

Another manifestation of these revolutionary energies can be seen by people changing their lifestyle and consumption habits which was fostered by Uranus entering the sign that rules our food and consumption habits in the year 2018. Minimalistic living and homesteading are becoming very popular amongst people as the natural way of being.

We have also witnessed mass adoption of healthier, more natural human diets and eating habits like OMAD, ketogenic, raw vegan diets, carnivore, with complete elimination of processed foods as being better for our bodies as that is another sphere where Taurus rules.

And yet on the other hand with the planet of technological revolution and innovation moving through the earth sign, we have also seen popularity for the lab grown meat and other engineered food products skyrocket.

Undoubtedly the changes that follow will tremendously affect the total context of human life as we have known. They will profoundly change our political, economic, social, cultural, and spiritual lives. Causing shifts in our inner spiritual attitudes toward ourselves and the universe. We must look at the upcoming changes with hopefulness instead of only dwelling in fear. For these changes will be a turning point in human history.

An opportunity for reconnection with our spiritual human essence

It is widely known in the spiritual circles that an intense traumatic and psychological crisis precedes a spiritual awakening. With humanity undergoing massive collective upheavals and trauma as all the outer planets coalesce together to amplify this energy, it’s humanity’s call to action to change our old dysfunctional ways of being and return to our true spiritual essence.

This time is paramount for humanity as we experience these cyclical shifts along with mother earth as this process is vital for the next evolutionary stage of human soul and consciousness.

Thus, one must at all times keep themselves grounded by being connected to a higher power. Trust your inner guidance and intuition as they are the tools through which your higher self and the divine communicates. Also, at all times remind yourselves to not be consumed and driven by fear as that is what adds resistance to this evolutionary process. This is a time to reconnect with God even if everything around us falls apart, we will still have love and divinity in our hearts.
