The Summer month of August starts on August 1, 2022 with the festival of Lugnasadh or Lammas, in which Mother Earth lets us share in her infinite abundance and fulfillment.
Harvest time.
Lughnasadh announces the end of Summer. The days are getting shorter, the colors around us are changing. Slowly but surely, Autumn is approaching.
August 2022 could be a hot turbulent month.
A Mars-Uranus conjunction is an astrological event that occurs approximately every two years. Mars conjunction Uranus is a necessary shift in our individual and collective value system.
The rare triple conjunction of Mars, Uranus and the North Node at 18º in Taurus at the beginning of August 2022 could lead to major global and personal challenges and the disintegration of structures and reform, transformation and renewal in the economy, education, energy supply, working conditions, food supply, raw materials and natural resources.
With this destabilizing energy, we have to take into account power outages, power failures and technological problems with energy in the first half of August 2022.
In addition, the North Node, Mars and Uranus Taurus square retrograde Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun in Aquarius, is a field of tension that reflects fear and friction, but also increased motivation to overcome challenges. Unexpected revelations and another step forward are possible.
Since early 2022, the North Node in Taurus, our collective destiny, has played an important economic role. The sign of Taurus is about money, (crypto) currency, finances, the agricultural sector, food supply and all basic needs in life.
This triple conjunction Mars/Uranus and the North Node in Taurus (exact on August 1 and 2, 2022) challenges us to think about the role we want to play in the changing social paradigm and positive contributions we can offer to community.
The last time Mars, Uranus and the North Node formed a volatile conjunction at about 19º in Taurus was in 324 BC, when Alexander the Great laid the foundations of the Hellenistic era.
Everything indicates that we are on the eve of a new era with new laws and new power structures.
With this turning point, anything is possible, for this conjunction paves the way for the future.
Be prepared for anything!
