There are times during each year when the world seems to be a more restive place, with a greater number of accidents, events, military actions and so forth. The period from the start of May this year to the present has been such a time, especially since the end of July. There are many planetary factors that can signal those sorts of periods, and we normally associate the bigger events with the outer planets. Eclipses signal such events, too, and the severity of them can be exacerbated by peaks in sunspot activity. However, at the moment we find ourselves in the beginning of a solar minimum and half of this year has been devoid of sunspots. Yet, the world has been more restive since the start of May. But it is not simply that there has been such activity. Rather, if is that some of the events that took place since that time have been key events that will shape outcomes into the future, such as the abrogation of the JCPOA<\/a><\/span> by the US, further sanctions on Iran, and so forth. So, where do we begin to look for the unsettled times we have been seeing?<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the start of May this year there has been an interaction between Mars and Uranus \u2013 a square \u2013 and Mars has gone back and forth past that square three times in 2018. That square is normally associated with accidents, sudden actions, violent events and moves toward independence. This transit of Mars square to Uranus was most potent from around the first week of May throughout that month, basically. It has been a background energy since. On 26 June Mars made its retrograde station. After that is when the real fun started. Mars began to approach the square with Uranus again toward the end of July. The exact retrograde square was on 2 August, just after the 28 July eclipse. It made its direct station on 28 August. Mars has never been more than about 4 degrees off that square since the start of August. On 19 Sep, Mars made the exact square again, this time direct. Now, at the end of September, it is moving off of that square, finally. We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief, so we hope. Why would we say that? Let\u2019s have a look at the major events through that time.<\/span><\/p>\n
