July and August’s Most Significant Alignments:
July 26, July 31: Uranus conjunct the North Node in Taurus
August 1: Mars, Uranus, North Node triple conjunction in Taurus
Uranus and the north node align every 19 years, and when they meet it signifies a time of immense and imminent change. On July 26 and July 31 they will be conjunct, or aligned, in Taurus, which hasn’t happened in 167 years. Then, on August 1, Mars joins the lineup. Needless to say, not only are these the most siginficant alignments of July and August, but all of 2022!
Uranus represents rebellion, nonconformity, and sudden change. The north and south nodes of the moon, also referred to as the nodes of fate, are not actual planets, but two spiritually significant points where the moon’s orbit intersects with Earth’s path around the sun. The north node represents our path forward while the south node represents what we need to release. Uranus conjunct the north node pushes us to expand past our comfort zones in unexpected and surprising ways. Having this conjunction in Taurus, a sign that favors familiarity, consistency, and stability, can sometimes lead to deep and stubborn resistance to change. Taurus’s resistance, however, can be a gift as it illuminates habits and patterns that are holding us back, while Uranus and the north node offer us ample opportunities to choose to let them go.
Adding to the significance of this alignment, Mars joins the lineup on August 1st creating a triple conjunction. On his own, Mars is fearless and bold. However, he can also be reckless and impulsive. Uranus, on his own, is innovative and visionary. However, he can fixate on the future, forgetting to remain present. Together, Mars and Uranus can create a sense of urgency, which makes it feel like everything is moving at warp speed. The north node in Taurus, on the other hand, underscores the importance of slowing down and honoring our own internal rhythms. By taking our time, we can remain embodied as we take the bold steps forward that Mars and Uranus are encouraging us to take.
It is important to note that while this triple conjunction is happening in Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius is squaring the whole alignment. When Saturn, who represents the past, squares Uranus, who represents the future, it feels like being caught between two opposing forces. This square, along with the triple conjunction, is emphasizing the crossroads at which we find ourselves—the midpoint between where we’ve been and where we’re heading.
Change has always been the only constant in life, and now we’re getting a masterclass on how true this is with unpredicatable Uranus as our professor. Even though Uranus can bring upheaval and uncertainty, there are three powerful lessons that Uranus, Mars, and the north node in Taurus are unmistakably teaching us: how to work with change instead of against it; how to unequivocally trust ourselves, especially when the road ahead is unclear; and it’s only by being present and fully in the moment that we can intentionally release the past and consciously move into the future.
