Uranus Conjunct Jupiter (2024)

 

Get ready for a cosmic shake-up! On April 20th, 2024, two powerhouse planets, Jupiter and Uranus, will join forces in the sign of Taurus, creating a rare astrological event known as a conjunction. This hasn't happened in Taurus since 1941, making it a potent influence with the potential to usher in significant change.

What are Jupiter and Uranus bringing to the table?

• Jupiter: Nicknamed the "great expander," Jupiter is associated with growth, abundance, and optimism. It encourages us to think big and reach for our wildest dreams.
• Uranus: The "great awakener" Uranus is all about rebellion, innovation, and breaking free from the status quo. It thrives on change and pushes us to embrace new possibilities.

When these two collide in Taurus, the sign of stability and security, we can expect a crackling energy of transformation.

Here's what this might mean for us:

• A surge of innovation: Taurus is connected to our material world, finances, and creativity. We might see breakthroughs in areas like sustainable technology, new economic models, or even a shift in our relationship with possessions.
• Redefining comfort: Taurus craves comfort, but Uranus throws a wrench in that. We might be rethinking what truly makes us feel secure, leading to a more progressive and innovative approach to stability.
• Embracing positive change: Jupiter's optimistic influence can help us navigate the disruptions caused by Uranus. We might be more open to embracing change as a catalyst for growth, rather than clinging to outdated systems.

How will this affect you personally?

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction will impact everyone differently. To understand how it might influence you personally, consider where Taurus falls in your natal chart (a map of the sky at your birth). If you have Taurus placements, you might feel this energy more intensely.

But even without strong Taurus placements, we can all harness this potent energy. Here are some tips:

• Be open to new ideas: Don't dismiss unconventional solutions. Embrace the unexpected and see where it takes you.
• Challenge the status quo: Is there something in your life that feels stuck? This is a powerful time to break free from limitations and explore new possibilities.
• Believe in abundance: Jupiter's influence encourages optimism. Focus on what you want to create and cultivate a mindset of abundance.

This Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is a rare opportunity for growth and transformation. By embracing change and staying open to new ideas, we can all tap into this potent energy and create a brighter future.

Capricorn is the sector of the natural chart that deals with career, ambition, and one's profession, so people become concerned with advancing in their chosen career. They may assess their career accomplishments, engage more in self-promotion, or seek out feedback from their boss or mentor to determine how they can improve, what new opportunities may be available to them, or  ask for some type of reward (such as a raise, promotion, or new title) for their accomplishments. 

The house where Capricorn falls in your chart is the area of life where you will feel the need for growth, improvement, and acknowledgement of or reward for your success and accomplishments.

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

You may be familiar with the term retrograde and usually hear this term associated with Mercury as in Mercury Retrograde. It may surprise you, however, that Mercury isn't the only planet that goes retrograde. In fact, with the exception of the Sun and Moon, all the planets go retrograde at some point. When a planet goes retrograde, it means that --- from our perspective on earth --- the planet appears to reverse its course across the sky moving backwards through the cosmos. 

Jupiter goes retrograde about once a year and generally last anywhere from four to five months. The next Jupiter Retrograde will occur on 4/10/19 at 10:01 AM Pacific in 24 degrees Sagittarius. 

When a planet goes retrograde it changes the meaning of that planet in our charts.  Jupiter is known as the planet of Luck, Expansion, and Optimism.  When Jupiter goes retrograde this is a time when we should refrain from taking too many risks, and our optimism should be temepered with a little skepticism. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is..... 

Jupiter is said to rule Sagittarius so the effects of Jupiter Retrograde in Sagittarius is stronger than that of the other signs. With Jupiter in Sagittarius we can expect issues of foreign lands and people to come under scrutiny, as well as those issues surrounding philosophy, religion, and the law being discussed and debated in the microcosm of our daily lives and the macrocosm of the world at large. 

Obviously, however, Jupiter Retrograde will affect everyone differently depending on where transit Jupiter falls in your natal chart. 

• If Aries is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 9th house. 
• If Taurus is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 8th house. 
• If Gemini is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 7th house. 
• If Cancer is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 6th house. 
• If Leo is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 5th house. 
• If Virgo is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 4th house. 
• If Libra is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 3rd house.

• If Capricorn is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 12th house. 
• If Aquarius is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your1th house. 
• If Pisces is your rising sign, Sagittarius is in your 10th house. 

For example with Jupiter Retrograde in the second house of wealth, money, and our personal value system this is a good time to review your relationship with money and the things that you value. You might consider new and different ways to make money or increase the value of your possessions in some way. You may also take this time to reevaluate your personal values and how they have or have not supported your goals in life --- especially those related to money and how you define success. 

Jupiter will station direct on 8/11/19 in 14 degrees Sagittarius.

The Astrology of Luck

With St. Patrick's day tomorrow, our thoughts turn to the idea of luck --- good luck, bad luck and how to shift fortune into our favor. In any discussion of luck in the astrological chart, we look to the planet Jupiter. 

Jupiter is known as the planet of expansion and luck. It rules Sagittarius; is in detriment in Gemini; exalted in Libra; and fall in Aries. (see essential dignity). 

Keywords associated with Jupiter include, but are not limited to: expansion, plenty, abundance, chance, cheerful, education, faith, gambling, growth, self-betterment, hope, luck, optimism, philosophy, religion, truth, success and wisdom.  

Where Jupiter falls in your natal, or birth chart will given an indication of the source of luck in your life; and if it falls in one of the angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th) , the affects of Jupiter becomes even more powerful. For example: 

• If Jupiter is in your 1st house you tend to me proactive and make your own luck.
• If Jupiter is in your 4th house your luck comes from your home and family. 
• If Jupiter is in your 7th house, your luck comes to you through your relationships of all kinds (business or professional). 
• If Jupiter is in your 10th house, your luck come through your career and reputation. 

Jupiter takes about 12 years to travel through the zodiac and so it stays in each sign for approximately one year.  As of this writing, Jupiter is currently transiting, or moving through, the fiery-mutable sign of Sagittarius and will move into Capricorn around December 2nd, 2019. 

Astrologically, Jupiter rules Sagittarius meaning that its power is enhanced and therefore stronger and more powerful. When Jupiter is in Sagittarius people are generally more tolerant, good natured, optimistic, liberal-minded, humane, and are interested in matters of religion, the law, justice, and compassion.  

To understand what area of life you will be lucky in 2019, look at what house Sagittarius falls in your natal chart. For example:

• If Aries is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 9th house. 
• If Taurus is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 8th house.
• If Gemini is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 7th house.
• If Cancer is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 6th house.
• If Leo is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 5th house.
• If Virgo is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 4th house.
• If Libra is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 3rd house.
• If Scorpio is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 2nd house.
• If Sagittarius is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 1st house.
• If Capricorn is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 12th house.
• If Aquarius is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 11th house.
• If Pisces is your rising sign, Sagittarius in your 10th house. 

The area of life associated with the natal house Jupiter is transiting will given an indication of those areas of life in which you will be lucky. For example, my rising sign is Scorpio which means that Jupiter is transiting my 2nd house which is associated with money, material matters, and personal values to name a few. 

Therefore for me, 2019 I will be lucky in matters of money. I may feel rich even though my bank-account may not reflect big numbers. Investments are likely to be successful and my personal values will steer me in the right direction.  The negative aspect of Transit Jupiter in the 2nd house is being to self-satisfied, expecting something for nothing, resting on one's laurels, and laziness.  

To better understand the force of luck in your life, it is the wise astrologer who will track his or her Jupiter transits and pays special attention to the aspects Jupiter makes to other planets and positions in your natal chart so that you can work with the universal ebb and flow of luck for greater success and abundance. 

Where will your luck be in 2019?
