Sudden Events: The Activation of America’s Mars Uranus Midpoint
What will transpire in August 2024?
Keep your eyes out for August 9th -14th, 2024. Mars, the planet of anger and violence, heads for a conjunction with Jupiter, the planet of expansion.
Any actions undertaken at this conjunction could be felt on a large scale. This conjunction is especially known for success in war-like actions.
When Mars and Jupiter meet near 16° Gemini, America’s Mars/Uranus midpoint of 15° will be activated. History has shown us that 15º Gemini is a volatile degree in America’s natal chart. Think: Pearl Harbor, 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, and Hiroshima.
The conjunction of Mars and Jupiter perfects on August 14, 2024 at 16° Gemini.
The Degree of Accidents
In astrology, the degree or two before an exact conjunction is a when many developments take place.
This brings all eyes to 15° Gemini.
In The Degree Theory, 15º is known as the degree of assassinations and accidents.
Fifteen degrees Gemini is also the Mars/Uranus midpoint for America.
What does the Mars/Uranus midpoint indicate?
The Mars Uranus midpoint can mean sudden and unexpected violence and accidents. There is pent-up energy that needs to be released.
In the past, when outer planets hit America’s Mars/Uranus midpoint axis, we’ve seen attacks on our country, violent events overseas, and natural disasters.
What might Mars and Jupiter at America’s Mars/Uranus Midpoint bring?
Retaliation on American Soil
If the Sibley Chart time is correct, this Jupiter Mars conjunction happens in America’s 7th house of leaders, partners and open enemies. Could there be an attack that steps us into war, like what happened at Pearl Harbor in 1941 or in New York on September 11, 2001?
Pearl Harbor Attack
December 7, 1941There are quite a few similarities in this month’s astrology that mirror the placements in the chart for Pearl Harbor:
- Jupiter retrograde at 16º 30’ Gemini, opposite the transit Sun at 15º Sagittarius, activating America’s Mars Uranus midpoint.
- Mars was also at 15º Aries. That gives us 3 planets at or near the Mars Uranus midpoint, and the degree of accidents.-Neptune was at the last degree of Virgo in 1941. Currently, Neptune is at the opposite placement: 29º Pisces.
-Uranus was at the same place it is now: 27º Taurus, squaring America’s Moon
The day after the Pearl Harbor attack, the United States declared war on Japan.
9/11
September 11, 2001Photo by Jesse Mills on Unsplash Saturn was at 14º Gemini and Pluto at 12º Sagittarius, activating the Mars/Uranus midpoint axis of the USA. This violent incident resulted in another war in the Middle East.
Back-to-School Dangers
Gemini rules the youth and children. Mid-August is usually the start of school for many districts. Keep a sharp eye on the safety of children as this school year begins. Violence, protests, and disease outbreaks are on my radar for several reasons. The Saturn square to this conjunction could result in mandates and a reduction of freedoms.
Extreme Weather Events
It is both Hurricane Season and wildfire season. Jupiter could expand whatever destruction and fire Mars intends to bring. The potential for Earthquakes in California is something to be watched as well.

October 29, 2012Jupiter was at 15º Gemini, the degree of accidents. Mars in Sagittarius was applying to an exact opposition to Jupiter in Gemini.
A Change in Leadership
The Mars Jupiter conjunction occurs at the same degree of fixed star Rigel. This is the brightest star in Orion (The Hunter). It marks the left leg. Of the nature of Jupiter and Saturn, it is associated with military, government officials, politicians, priests, barristers, national leaders, fame, wealth, and lasting honors. This is a fortunate star.
This conjunction will hit Donald Trump’s natal Uranus in his 10th house of career at 17° Gemini. It also makes a trine to his natal Jupiter at 17° Libra. Jupiter will retrograde over this Gemini point on election day. This could be an important time for Trump, while Saturn in a square places pressure and responsibility at his feet.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris also receive interesting transits in August.
Saturn Square Mars + Jupiter
Saturn, the planet of restrictions, will retrograde into a square with the Mars Jupiter conjunction. Government control measures may be put in place as a result of Mars + Jupiter-related events.
While we are in a volatile election year in America, I suspect we will see Saturnian controls blended with Gemini themes.
Watch for:
Internet Censorship
Health Mandates (especially for children)
Voting Laws
Mars Uranus issues include:
Gun Control Laws
Declarations of War
Military Rule
Eyes ON, America!
While events unfold this month, we continue to see Uranus in a square to America’s natal Moon.
In mundane astrology, the Moon represents the people. Uranus rules freedoms.
Uranus in Taurus squaring America’s Moon in Aquarius could put American freedoms to the test.
Keep an eye out for measures taken before, during, and after this rare Mars Jupiter conjunction.
There is a Full Moon on America’s Moon in Aquarius on August 19, 2024, increasing the tension as this moon builds.
