Triple Conjunction General Forecast: Mars-Uranus-North Node in Taurus — August 1, 2022

I’m often surprised how closely news headlines reflect major planetary transits. I’m not sure why I’m repeatedly shocked; after all, I believe in the symbolic language of astrology, yet I’ll read the paper and think, “Holy smokes! Could astrology be any more literal?”

The most recent news that caught my attention was a massive internet service outage in Canada. First reported on July 5, the UK’s NetBlocks indicated that a quarter of the country’s observable connectivity was disrupted. I only learned of the incident when I went to the store and was told that merchants were only accepting cash. As a geriatric millennial, I’m fortunate to still carry some paper money, but for the vast majority of individuals that have eschewed hard currency, they were clearly met with a rude retail awakening that morning.

The service outage not only affected internet customers, but debit and credit transactions, and even mobile phone subscribers’ ability to call for emergency services — the last of which is the most essential of everything we expect from mobile carriers. Might this have been a foreshadowing of what to expect from the upcoming Mars-Uranus-North Node conjunction? Let’s dig in.
