When Uranus transits natal Mars your need for freedom and change influences how you assert yourself and go after your goals. Uranus speeds things up and disrupts old patterns and represents your need for independence and change in this area.

When Uranus transits natal Mars you may experience surprises and disruption to your desires and goals and how you assert yourself and use your physical energy. This transit gives a boost to your energy and self-confidence and you may feel more alive and determined to be true to yourself.

This is a great time to try out new things and find constructive outlets and projects for this increased energy. You can break free of anything that’s holding you back, whether inner or outer, and assert yourself towards achieving goals that are meaningful to you. You may finally be able to do something that you’ve always wanted to do.

Hard aspects to Mars (conjunction, square or opposition) could be more volatile and unpredictable and the effects will depend on how you normally assert yourself. If you’re prone to outbursts of temper and impatience, you may feel more impulsive and could become reckless. But if you suppress this energy or try to avoid change, it could become explosive or trigger illness or accidents.

The pace of change in your life may speed up and you could become very busy. You may also feel restless and prone to burnout so remember to rest as well. This will give you time to think through what you’re doing to make sure you’re taking conscious action towards your goals and not just running around like a headless chicken.

• Starting a new exercise regime

My notes:

Uranus transited trine my natal Mars in 1987-88 from age 17–18 when Uranus was in Sagittarius in my 11th house. This coincided with when I was at sixth form doing my A levels and lots of music. After leaving school I decided to work for a year to save money before going to college to study music.

My first job was working part-time at Asda on the tills and I only lasted 9 days because it was so awful. I summoned all my courage and walked into the Virgin Megastore in Brighton on a whim to ask if they had any jobs going. They interviewed me on the spot and immediately offered me the job and I started the following Monday!

Uranus transited opposite my natal Mars in 2002-03 from age 31–32 when Uranus was in Aquarius in my 1st house. This was when I was working as a sound engineer recording a talking newspaper for the local council but feeling frustrated at the lack of creativity. At the start of the transit I was depressed and drinking heavily and it was causing problems in my relationship.

But near the end of the transit I suddenly decided to change. I stopped drinking and started doing yoga and my mood began to lift. As the transit ended, I got a tattoo of the symbol for the throat chakra to commemorate my new beginning and desire to embrace my creativity.

Uranus transited trine my natal Mars again in 2017-18 from age 46–47 when Uranus was in Aries in my 2nd house. There isn’t much to report for this transit. It coincided with when I was doing lots of writing and editing and getting The Shining Ones ready for publication having just published Free Your Pen. My energy levels weren’t great and I was trying to exercise more to improve things while also spending too much time sitting at a desk.

Uranus will transit square my natal Mars in 2024-26 from age 54–55 when Uranus is in Taurus in my 3rd house. This is a current transit and part of the mini triangle configuration – I may update this later…
