Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus
On February 27th, Mars in Aquarius forms a tense square with Uranus in Taurus, creating a volatile, electric atmosphere where impulses run fast and patience runs thin.
My intentions are not to spread fear or paranoia, but rather awareness that this is not the type of transit to gloss over.
Mars-square-Uranus is arguably the most chaotic, explosive, unsettling, creepy, unpredictable alignments of the entire year.
As Mars in Aquarius forms a harsh square to Uranus in Taurus, stability quickly becomes an illusion, as we will most likely notice a rise in early signs of war, violence, chaos, riots, rebellion, disruption, and aggressive energy.
Mars in Aquarius inspires activism, technological advancement, social reform, unification, progression, and collaboration. Uranus in Taurus has been radically reshaping our relationship with security, stability, resources, values, money, land, and self-worth since 2018. As they square, problems involving freedoms, rights, and resources will rise to the surface.
Many parts of the world will watch as stability and structure are tested, and power struggles play out on the global stage.
With this alignment arriving in the middle of Eclipse Season, the events we watch unfold will have long-lasting impacts on modern society.
The last time we experienced a Mars-Uranus square was June 14th, 2025, with Mars in Leo and Uranus in Taurus.
This date alone marked a period of heightened global volatility, political unrest, leadership challenges, technological disruptions, chaos, protests, infrastructure failures, and natural events tied to weather-related instability.
That alignment showed us how quickly tension can erupt when ego, power, and outdated systems are pushed too far. Now happening again in February 2026, this square carries a similar signature, with a slightly different emphasis.
In June of last year, Mars in Leo formed a square to Uranus in Taurus, and coincided with the ‘No Kings’ protest and was estimated to be ‘one of the largest single-day protests in United States History, ever.’
Again, on just this day alone, Israeli strikes continued across the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least many Palestinians.
June of last year was also when tensions in California rose to a dramatic high as protests against ICE raids spread up and down the West Coast.
As I write this, tensions between the U.S. and Iran are intensifying, the Supreme Court struck down certain tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, extreme violence is erupting in parts of Mexico, and more.
Pisces Season is known for being a transitional period of life, a very out with the old, in with the new type of season. Aquarius energy is all about collective movements, social systems, technology, humanitarianism, and the future direction of humanity itself. Uranus is on its final stretch through Taurus before leaving for Gemini for good. Because of this, we can expect surprising announcements, flashes of rebellion, and sudden breakthroughs.
With the Saturn-Neptune conjunction also peaking now, we should pay attention to the political world and updates on advancements in tech, innovation, AI, digital platforms, economic structures, natural disasters, civil unrest, etc.
This time under this square will feel chaotic, but we’ll make it through it.
