On 4 July 2026, the ‘lesser malefic’ Mars, meets with Uranus in airy Gemini for the first time in 84 years. They meet at 3 degrees of the sign. This is especially important in relation to the United States, as the country has this conjunction in their Sibly (natal) chart.

Historically, these two planets met in Gemini in 1776 (Declaration of Independence), 1861 (when the Civil War began), 1945, (Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs on Japan ending WWII), and now on 4 July 2026 for the 250th birthday of America. Within the same week, Mercury turns Retrograde in Cancer on 29 June (delays and snafus, and miscommunications), and larger than life expansive Jupiter enters dramatic Leo on 30 June.

The Mars (God of War, and severing and separating) / Uranus (chaos, surprise, shock, the unexpected, being different) conjunction indicates a potential terrorist attack, mass shootings, or we may see a nuclear bomb go off. This bomb may be a strike on Iran by Israel for example, especially since America just made a peace deal with Iran. There could also be an earthquake (especially on the American West Coast as the conjunction falls along this line), large-scale riots (maybe involving ICE) and /or fires, or the start of another civil war with states seceding, wanting their freedom, or even a revolution. Another target could be a FIFA World Cup game played on this date, especially if the American side are playing.

Events around this time will definitely shake things up, and may include new rebellions and violent uprisings, so please avoid crowds during this electrifying and volatile time. Personally, we may feel a bit scattered so please look after your nervous system and do some grounding.
