Mars-Uranus causes SPARKS in the natal chart, especially with a hard aspect. Uranian energy ignites at full-force or when the native needs to drawn upon it with Martian gunpowder.

Mars-Uranus people are difficult not to notice, but those with the less prominent Ptolemaic aspects may fall through the cracks until they need to draw upon this powerful, exhilarating and sometimes loose-canon aspect. One key issue for Mars-Uranus, especially with the SQUARE and OPPOSITION, is the often revered ideal, My way or the highway!

Mars-Uranus hard aspects can lead the native to struggle with needing to get their way, to assert their independence at all times, and to feel like they are fully in control of their own actions and destiny. Interference will NOT be tolerated. Anyone who stands in their way will, most likely, be pushed aside or shot down - and usually in a brutal spark of anger and terrorization, verbal or otherwise, if the rest of the chart allows it. This unexpected display of anger in defense of the native's possible loss of independence or a fear of their lives becoming 'mundane' or controlled can frighten and confuse others close to them.

Mars is our drive, so when Uranus touches upon it we have an action nature that can be, unpredictable, radical, rebellious and nonconformist, and sometimes, trouble making. As Uranus goes, we also have the unexpected that can be more damaging than cool - meaning, running in the rain and hail feeling quite invincible against being harmed by nature, only to slip on a patch of dry ice. And maybe, about a dozen times before that incident you had done the same thing, running in the ice and snow or bad weather without anything bad happening happening at all, being that lucky. But with Mars-Uranus, especially the harsh aspects, you really can be suddenly hit with the unthinkable accident that you never saw coming. Sometimes the luck runs out.

I advise those with the harsh aspect to NOT ride the 'invincible streak' that can be quite apparent and actually, quite real, because Uranus can literally turn the tables on Mars and make you have that nasty fall or accident you shrugged off before, thinking you were in the green and completely OK when danger was closer than you could sense.

The key lesson a Mars-Uranus person must learn is to how to integrate positive, consistent change in their lives with the advice and opinions of others. They must learn how to take these comments the right way, without considering such advice discreet sabotage. It's important to understand that with Mars-Uranus, we must learn not to become too combative when others are merely trying to help. Remember, that ordering is not the same as suggesting, and vice versa. Perhaps this is the hardest thing to learn for some Mars-Uranus people when they socialize and interact with others in their environment.
