Sorry for the delay. I wanted to get this up a few days ago, but I have had vertigo and had to use my stable times to work. Ugh. I used to get it once in a while and haven't had any in a few years. This time it was accompanied by some never before experienced and really fun - projectile vomiting - the kind you only see with infants or in really scary horror movies. Head didn't actually spin around though. That I know of. Can't really be sure.
So, let's jump right in! A nice slow jump that won't jar my head :)
On Saturday, April 20th, 2024, Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and expansion and the kind of lucky and unlucky we get when we take bigger risks than we are comfortable with, and in Taurus since last May,
catches up with Uranus, the planet of rebellion and liberation and technology and change and chaos, in Taurus since May 2018. They meet at 21 degrees - almost 22 degrees.
I have a relative whose natal Sun AND mid-heaven are 21 degrees Taurus. She has seen her career, reputation and finances improve exponentially since Jupiter went into Taurus last May. Her life had been a rollercoaster ride since Uranus entered Taurus a few years ago and now she says she can see all the ways all the things she has done and been through had prepared her to take advantage of and work for the opportunities of the past year.
Because this conjunction is happening in the third decan of Taurus some of what Jupiter/Uranus will bring - has already happened and been happening. Changes of luck and fortune. Now we will have to see what the peak energy/the conjunction brings up. Will Uranus turn some up-cycles down and down-cycles up?
Jupiter and Uranus are answering to Taurus ruler Venus. Venus is at 19 degrees Aries, the degree of last week's MEGA New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries and sandwiched between wounded healer Chiron and a retrograde Mercury. This is a big deal and pulls the Eclipse energy into the Jupiter/Uranus story. Our wounds/vulnerabilities, sometimes health problems, what we are re-thinking, the conversations we are re-having. Our money and resources and VALUES. Venus pulls in relationship themes/the things and situations and people we are in relationship with. After almost a year of growth in our Taurus natal house, are our relationships aligned with our values? If something does not line up energetically, the Eclipse re-set and powerful Jupiter/Uranus conjunction can clean house as it seeks to liberate our dried up roots from the old stuck Taurean soil.
Venus in Aries is answering to Mars. Mars is in Pisces and will be in a tight sextile (opportunity through action) with Jupiter and Uranus. Some action is needed to get the most of this conjunction. Mars has just moved out of the orb of his conjunction with Saturn (limits, reality, karma, endings and he is only days from returning to his home sign of Aries, but first must meet up with Neptune (no limits, no reality, ancestral/past life stories, endings) at the end of the month.
Ceres is in Capricorn answering to Saturn and forming a Grand Earth trine (not exact, but close enough) with the Uranus/Jupiter conjunction and the Moon in practical Virgo. Grand Earth Trines are stabilizing - an unbroken flow of energy. Whatever this MEGA LINE-UP is bringing us, the Grand Earth trine will help things unfold naturally. We won't have to demand or struggle - which is echoed by Mars in Pisces. If something doesn't unfold naturally, it is just not meant to happen right now. Remember we are playing a long game here.
Although of course with Uranus some fast moves are being made now and some risk and COURAGE is required.
Jupiter and Uranus do not meet up very often. Jupiter changes signs about once a year and Uranus is in the same sign for many years, so they are infrequently in the same place at the same time.
The conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus takes us back to the spring/summer of 1941 (the last time these planets met in Taurus) - World War II was raging across Europe and the world. The United States had just passed legislation to provide resources to the countries involved, primarily England and Russia, but the United States was not physically involved in the war until the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. On that day, Saturn and Uranus at 23 and 27 degrees Taurus, surrounded the hot Jupiter/Uranus conjunction degree of 25 Taurus from the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction of six months earlier. The date of the conjunction now, so close to April 19th, also reminds me of things like the start of the American Revolution (shot heard round the world), the Warsaw ghetto uprising, the Columbine shootings, the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Waco siege and the first studied use of LSD, 420 has some obscure connection to marijuana, the date of Mandela's famous "I am prepared to die" speech during his trial, and, of course, was Hitler's birthday...
If you were born with a Jupiter/Uranus connection (of any kind) or a planet point at or very near 21 degrees of the fixed or earth signs - or had a personal connection to the Eclipse degress - you will likely be feeling this energy strongest, but this is impacting all of us at least through collective events at this point.
The house in our chart where the planets are meeting - our Taurus house - is the space in NEED of something BETTER, BIGGER - a BREAKTHROUGH.
The action comes through our Pisces house and because this is Pisces it won't be anything that resembles a straight line. Don't expect C to follow B to follow A. There could be the need for some kind of loss or sacrifice. We might have to give something up to get Jupiter's GIFT. It can also come through a Piscean theme, so prayer is very powerful as is music and art and meditation and water.
Jupiter always delivers and has about one more month left in Taurus - there is a GIFT here somewhere and with Uranus it might be found in something very UNEXPECTED.
Anything that expands now is going to expand very quickly and whatever happens very quickly is going to feel, and maybe be, very big.
For everyone -
notice what opportunities show up.
Also remember that every opportunity isn't something you have to take.
We will be finding out what we truly value and what our values truly are by how we handle the stuff that has been showing up and that shows up now and over the next month.
Collectively with Taurus this will be about deciding what makes the most sense/cents. Taurus rules things we can hold in our hand and take to the bank. The nuts and bolts of life. It's about what we ALREADY HAVE. Don't overthink this stuff.
Focus on the doors that are opening.
There is a stellium of planets in Taurus through late May.
There is a powerful Full Moon in Taurus's polarity sign of Scorpio on April 23rd (this happens in a square to Pluto, so we are dealing with our fears and also opportunities for intense transformation and growth). Deep inner work. Intense emotions. The things we are merging and purging. Other people's money and resources and values. Power struggles vs real empowerment. This Moon is a BIG deal. It will have its own post.
Then Mercury stations direct on April 25th (our thinking has changed, lessons learned) conjunct the North Node, and right after that, Mars comes home to Aries. Green light.
Venus gets into Taurus on April 30th and the Moon will be pinging all the Taurus stuff on May 6th to 8th and after she gets past her square to Pluto on the 6th, there is alot of smooth energy and here is is also where opportunities and even some fast results can show up. The Sun in Taurus will be sextiling Saturn on the 7th, too. Making the dream real. I have said before that May's astrology looks good. By the time the last inner planet, Mercury, leaves Taurus in early June we could be on a very different track.
Let's take a look by sign.
Usually, I recommend using your rising sign, but with this conjunction powered up by the Aries Total Solar Eclipse (via Venus) that we had a few days ago when the sun was ECLIPSED OUT, you might want to give just as much emphasis to your Sun sign or even your Moon sign with this one.
ARIES | Aries Rising (this is also a collective forecast) - the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction is happening in your 2nd house of your money, your values, your resources and self-esteem.

Ultimately this is about a change in the way you make/use money, the things you hold onto and what you value.

I am treating this conjunction like a New Moon - using it to expand on the Solar Eclipse and setting my intentions now that I didn't set then when so much was hidden.
We are so much older and wiser in just a few days aren't we?
JUPITER/URANUS INTENTIONS
This conjunction, which we won't see again in our lifetime in this sign, is an excellent time to begin a grounding practice, make affirmations and set intentions about the stuff listed above for your rising sign, Sun sign and Moon sign or the collective sign of Aries.
AFFIRMATION TIPS: get into a happy, contented frame of mind, HUG A TREE (she is ruled by Taurus and she needs you, too) - always make affirmations from a positive place, and both definitions of positive apply here - happy and certain. Write your affirmations down by hand in script, speak them out loud - then release your attention from these things knowing that your intention is known.
Know these things are already yours.
Also remember affirmations are action - they set the energy in motion and by working with the right things at the right time we are literally creating the affirmation within the energy that is needed to bring it to life.
I would say good luck, but when the planet of "luck" meets the planet of "change" -
I think we already have it!
