Remember, this conjunction began in August 2022 and will continue until the new conjunction cycle begins in July 2026. If there were significant experiences or themes occurring in August of 2022, they may be hinting at something that has to do with this transit for you.

The Power of Algol: The Demon Star
Algol, often referred to as the "Demon Star," is located in the constellation Perseus. Historically, it has been associated with intense and sometimes malevolent energy, symbolizing destruction, transformation, and rebirth. In mythology, Algol represents the severed head of Medusa, embodying themes of power, fear, and profound change.
In astrology, Algol's influence is considered both challenging and transformative. When involved in a Mars-Uranus conjunction, its energy can amplify the urge for radical change and the breaking down of old structures to make way for new growth.
