Without further ado, here is the daily horoscope.
Good afternoon, friends!
I’m sure that everyone has heard that over the weekend, former president Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, PA. One of nine bullets grazed Trump’s right ear but didn’t cause any major wounds. Unfortunately, two people were killed, the shooter and another spectator, and others were wounded (Guardian News and Media, 14 July 2024).
I’ve been talking about Mars and Uranus coming together for weeks now, a big transit that has been trying to warn us that something major was about to happen. Besides this very public event, these two planets coming together can bring about injuries, accidents, turmoil, chaos, and other wild and unexpected events in our personal lives.
These two meet every one and a half to two years, depending on their retrograde cycles. They met on July 31, 2022, and before that, on January 20, 2021. This is their last meeting in Taurus, though, as Uranus will leave Taurus for good on April 27, 2026 (there will be a period during 2025 when Uranus enters Gemini and then retrogrades back to Taurus), and Mars won’t meet up with Uranus again until July 4, 2026, at 3°Gemini—so, this is the last time they will meet in Taurus.
It is hard not to talk about the attempt on former president Trump’s life in today’s horoscope, so what I would like to do is first go over the transit chart for the conjunction of Mars and Uranus, offer brief horoscopes for ALL 12 signs, so you can tune into what you can expect in your own life, and then I want to take a bit of a dive into Trump’s natal chart and the event chart of the shooting and a map of Butler, PA (where the shooting took place) with the chart overlaid top of it that I found incredibly fascinating! And of course, the tarot card for the day. There is a lot to cover…
Okay, let’s get into…the astrology
Mars Conjunct Uranus
You can see Mars and Uranus together in Taurus at the top of the chart just a smidge to the right of the 12 o’clock position. Working our way counter-clockwise around the wheel starting at the top we have Jupiter in Gemini, still in harmonious aspects to the nodes, so this is good. Then the Sun in Cancer at about the 10 o’clock position is forming a square (90°) to Chiron in Aries, which could mean there are underlying vulnerabilities or wounds to our egos that are trying to heal. We have Venus and Mercury, both in Leo hovering above the 9 o’clock position—Venus is in a sesquiquadrate (135°) to Saturn in Pisces retrograde and Mercury is forming a quincunx (150°) to him as well—what this means is that there are serious things we have begun that are shaping our environments in nice, beautiful ways, but we are experiencing some delays at the moment. We may have had a serious conversation over the weekend, or maybe this is still to come, but whenever it occurs, it will most likely be uncomfortable and feel a bit like you are getting checked by the spiritual police.
The Nodes are at 9°58’ of Libra and Aries, forming a semisquare and sesquiquadrate (45° and 135°, respectively) to the Mars/Uranus conjunction in Taurus—this is important as it indicates trying to accomplish something extreme, erratic, violent, or that will create chaos, and having it fail, experience delays, or setbacks, and ultimately not work out.
The Moon is at the bottom of the chart between 6 and 7 o’clock in Scorpio, the sign of her fall. The Moon in Scorpio is a time of intense emotions that can feel really extreme. We may want to crawl under a rock and hide in the dark or we may poke and prod at our wounds to make sure they are still there. The Scorpio Moon time during each lunar cycle can also be an incredible sensual time when people want to connect on physically deep levels.
Moving up the right side of the wheel we see Pluto in Aquarius retrograde at 4 o’clock, now off of his opposition with Venus, thankfully, so whatever intense personal relationship issues came up over the weekend, the sharpest parts are now gone and we are left with the task of rebuilding trust, overcoming fears, and re-emerging as new butterflies when it comes to love and relationships. Then we have Saturn and Neptune, both in Pisces, both retrograde between 2 and 3 o’clock; the North Node and Chiron in Aries, which we already mentioned, and we are back to the top of the chart.
Mars Conjunct Uranus Horoscopes
I want to briefly outline the areas of life that each Sun or Rising sign may feel this transit, in one sentence or so. This next section will make the most sense if you read your rising sign. If you don’t know your rising sign, you can go here to calculate your birth chart and find out for free.
Remember when you read your sign that we are talking about Mars and Uranus energies coming together, so these are things like accidents, arguments, people who are angry or have aggressive speech; unexpected and sudden events, quirky individuals, or things that involve technology, the internet, or natural disasters. Those are just a few of the many possibilities as to how this energy could manifest in your life. Thankfully, this conjunction is in a semisquare (45°) to the North Node, as I mentioned, meaning that things will try to happen, but will most likely fall short.
Aries—This may affect your financial security and possessions, stemming from how you see the world, your own health and wellness, and your shared resources.
Taurus—How you see the world may go through a dramatic shift; your appearance may change in some way. This may feel like it is coming out of nowhere, or a hidden desire may come up, or a relationship may change, either breaking up suddenly or coming together.
Gemini—Something unexpected that was hidden or an underlying health issue, including mental health, may come up, taking you by surprise. This could also involve your friends or your audience in some way.
Cancer—Something unexpected involving your friends or the people you talk to at work could come up that affects your career or your family.
Leo—Something sudden that affects your career could happen that seems to come from your past, your beliefs, or your home life in some way or vice versa.
Virgo—An unexpected trip or breakthrough in beliefs, stemming from a change in support or a change in your local community.
Libra—A sudden shift in shared resources that comes from a relationship or business partnership and affects your own finances.
Scorpio—Something that has to do with your relationships, partnerships, or dealings with other people that unexpectedly comes up and changes the way you view the world or your day-to-day job. A sudden lost pet, as well.
Sagittarius—An unexpected event at your job or in regards to what you do all day that has to do with family or a hidden issue. Could also involve pets.
Capricorn—Something coming up about family, children, pregnancies, or your creative projects, that takes you by surprise, stemming from social activities or homelife activities.
Aquarius—Something happening at home or in your private life that creates a foundational shift, and affects your career or vice versa. Your siblings or local community may be involved as well.
Pisces—A change that involves your siblings, your community, or the way you communicate with others, that also is tied to your financial situation and your belief systems, in some way.
I hope this little run-down gives you some ideas of where to expect this transit to take place in your own lives. If you’d like to go deeper into your own chart and how the transits are affecting you, I would love to help with that! Click on the link below to find the reading that is right for you.
The Assassination Attempt
Alright, so the keyword, I think, is “attempt.” As I already laid out, the Mars/Uranus conjunction is in a semisquare (45°) to the North Node indicating that something would be attempted through violence, anger, or penetration—all Martian things, and will fall short, be delayed, or fail.
The Natal Chart of Donald Trump
Above is the natal chart of President Trump using the whole signs house system. You can see in his natal promise Mars on the left-hand side at 26°Leo 46’ conjunct his Ascendant degree of 29°Leo 55’. Pluto in Leo is also co-present in the first house of self, health, and character. Mars conjunct the Ascendent degree can represent a person with an aggressive, outgoing, bully-boy nature. Pluto in the first house can indicate someone with a powerful character and demeanor. The Leo Ascendent points to a person with a gregarious, generous, warm-hearted nature, and who usually has great hair (obviously, this doesn’t pertain to every person with a Leo rising). I find it interesting, that if I use the Placidus house system to cast Trump’s chart, pictured below, Mars falls in the 12th house of hidden enemies, meaning that there may be times in his life when he is attacked by people trying to do him harm.
Shooting at Rally Event Chart
According to the time reported by the U.S. Secret Service, Trump was shot at approximately 6:15 pm ET on July 13, 2024, at the Butler Showgrounds in Butler, PA (Source New Mexico, 14 July 2024)1.
At the time of the shooting, which you can see in the chart above, Mars was applying to a bodily conjunction with Uranus in Taurus (on the lower right of the chart at 4 o’clock) and making frustrating aspects to the nodes (a semisquare to the North Node and a sesquiquadrate to the South Node, as we have discussed previously). The Sun and the Moon were in an applying partile square, the First Quarter Moon, and making a dynamic T-square to Chiron in Aries. This configuration at its most simple, represents a crisis point or event triggered by something unexpected, and possibly violent.
Mars: hot, dry, and represents guns, violence, and anger + Uranus: surprising, erratic, and out of the ordinary + a semisquare (45°) to the North Node: a concrete event or action that takes place but has a failed result.
Trump’s Chart + Event Chart
Now, let’s look at a bi-wheel (two charts together) with Donald Trump’s chart in the center and the event chart in the outer wheel.
At the top of the chart is the Mars/Uranus conjunction, circled in pink, and it is in an exact square to Trump’s natal Mars in his first (or 12th) house and also his ascendent, indicating an unexpected confrontation with an enemy which could result in bodily harm. The North Node is to the right, in a semisquare (45°) to Mars and Uranus, meaning that an action will be taken that will lead to a null result. It doesn’t get any simpler than that folks.
Another interesting thing is that Saturn in Pisces retrograde is forming a square to Donald Trump’s natal Moon in Sagittarius at the bottom of the chart and Uranus in Gemini at the top of the chart, activating this powerful natal opposition configuration that simply means, things will suddenly happen in the public arena that will throw his life out of whack! Sudden events that turn the wheel of fate, so to speak. You can see this dynamic highlighted in the chart below:
One of the techniques I have been playing around with is overlaying event charts over the map of the location where the event happened. When I did this for the Butler Farm Showgrounds and the event chart for the time of the shooting, I was amazed at what I found!
In this first image below, you can see the three buildings of the Butler Farm Showgrounds which were the backdrop to the rally stage, as pictured in the news report from The Guardian, Trump Rally Shooting: What We Know About the Gunman, published on July 14, 20242
The stage in which Trump was speaking is the approximate center of the chart and is labeled “Trump.” The two lines coming out from the center and ending on the edge of the circle represent the North Node, the line labeled “1”, and Mars and Uranus, indicated by the dropped pin icon. The North Node line at 8° Aries lines up perfectly with the building where the shooter took his shots from and is 2°away from the position of the North Node at 10°Aries in the event chart, this is within the critical 3°range of engagement. The North Node is in a semisquare (45°) to the Mars/Uranus conjunction which was activating Trump’s natal Mars/Ascendant, indicating the possibility of physical injury or accident.
In the next picture, you can see the aforementioned points labeled, as well as the event chart superimposed on top of the map. It is hard to see, but if you look closely you can see the symbols for Mars and Uranus behind their marker and the North Node behind its marker. You may also notice that the symbols on the chart are backward and that is because in order to align the chart with the compass directions (I labeled east with an ‘E’ and west with a ‘W’), the chart needs to be flipped from left to right. Once you do that, everything lines up perfectly, which is fascinating!!
So, there you have it folks.
I would love to hear your comments and reflections.
The Tarot Card
Let’s move on to the card for the day.
What is the guidance for the day?
Seven of Koros
On this card, we see a woman sitting on the ground by a fire. She is daydreaming about things that appear on the card in the circle of smoke from the fire, a cup with a snake coming out of it, a cup full of jewels and gold, a cup full of flowers, another with a man’s head, etc…In the background is a vardo unhitched to anything.
This card is about wishes and wishful thinking and dreaming about impossible things that are probably pipe dreams. It can also be about having a lot of choices, some realistic and some not.
I feel that this card is resonating with the Moon in Scorpio today making a sesquiquadrate (135°) to Neptune in Pisces retrograde this evening and means that we may have dreamed up an outcome, or fantasized about something going a certain way, but we are not sure if it will come to be or not because, at the moment, we are not seeing anything manifest in reality, everything is still a dream in our mind. The Scorpio Moon will trine Saturn in Pisces retrograde tomorrow so something may materialize soon. I guess, the best advice would be to try and remain hopeful, yet realistic, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is, but the super-optimist in me loves to believe in miracles, so use your best judgment.
I hope this is helpful!
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy

Your writing is so wonderful! Thank you Astromommy
I find your technique of overlaying the map of the event with the astrological chart fascinating. Nice touch with the including the nodes.
