Friday, Feb 27: A 9-Year Cycle Completes

To understand why this Friday feels so electric, we have to look back to 2018. That was the year Uranus—the planet of rebellion, sudden awakenings, and the "shock to the system"—moved into Taurus, the sign that governs our stability, our finances, and our literal "ground."

In astrology, Uranus is the pot-stirrer. Its job is to break us out of ruts and shatter structures that have become too rigid. While Taurus loves comfort and keeping things exactly as they are, Uranus is the lightning bolt that insists on evolution. Since 2018, this planet has been acting as a "Great Awakener" in your life, forcing you to rethink everything you thought was permanent. Every time Mars has sparked a connection with Uranus over the last eight years, it has been an invitation to stop playing it safe and start living more authentically.

This Friday is the very last time (in our lifetime) this specific collision will happen in these signs. We are finishing a chapter of radical upheaval in our material lives. If you’ve felt like you’ve been living in a construction zone since 2018, the scaffolding is finally coming down.

How to Harness the Lightning

In astrology, a "square" is an urgent call to innovate. It’s the friction that creates fire. This Friday, you have a rare burst of "rebranding" energy at your disposal. Here is how to actually use it:

• Lean Into the Pivot: Mars and Uranus don't do "slow and steady." If a plan suddenly changes or an idea strikes you out of nowhere, follow it. This energy rewards the person who is brave enough to abandon a "good" plan for a brilliant one.
• The Gemini Preview: We are currently in the final stretch of a massive transition. On April 26, 2026, Uranus will officially leave the heavy, grounded terrain of Taurus and move into Gemini, the sign of ideas, variety, and lightning-fast communication. Friday’s square is the final "clearance sale" of your old life. The universe is essentially asking: "What outdated version of yourself are you ready to trade in today so you can move into the Uranus in Gemini era with total mental freedom?"
• Trust the Disruption: If things feel chaotic, remember that Uranus disrupts in order to liberate. You aren't being shaken up to be stressed; you’re being shaken up so you can finally see the exit door you walked past a dozen times.
