Life Shakeups are Coming - Your Jupiter + Uranus Conjunction Horoscope!

We have wrapped up eclipse season, but are inching closer to the next biggest planetary event of the year. On Saturday, April 20th, the great expander Jupiter and the great change-maker Uranus, merge together in steady Taurus, creating what is sure to be a surge of new energy and maybe even a change in direction!

Planetary conjunctions involving the outer planets, often create significant shifts in energy and collective consciousness. With these two planets coming together, they hold the potential to shake up stability, both on individual levels and within the collective experience.

To comprehend the impact of this conjunction, it's essential to grasp the deeper nature of the planets involved. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, represents expansion, growth, and abundance. It encourages exploration, optimism, and the pursuit of knowledge. When Jupiter aligns with another planet, it tends to amplify its energies, magnifying and inflating its influence.

Uranus, on the other hand, is the planet of innovation, revolution, and sudden change. It governs rebellion, progress, and unconventional thinking. Uranus disrupts the status quo, urging us to break free from limitations and embrace new ways of being. It’s also the planet most associated with technology and electricity.

Now, let’s talk about Taurus, the sign in which these planets are meeting up in. Taurus, is a fixed, stubborn, Earth sign ruled by Venus, that embodies qualities of stability, material security, and sensuality — It values tangible comforts, groundedness, and perseverance. Taurus encourages us to connect with the physical world, to appreciate beauty, and to build solid foundations.

When Jupiter's expansive tendencies collide with Uranus' impulse for sudden change - they challenge the traditional stability of Taurus, inviting disruptions and breakthroughs in the pastures of art, agriculture, economics, environmentalism, and values.

This alignment last happened in May of 1941 and revealed events such as The United States Congress passing the Lend-Lease Act, giving the President the power to sell, lend, and lease war supplies to other nations. This makes sense with Taurus ruling resources.

The film, How Green was my Valley, about a small Welsh town that was at one point serene and lush that becomes overrun by a coal mine, eventually leading to strikes and protests on behalf of the miners, was released and would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.  The film eerily, but accurately, displays strong themes of the Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus alignment.

Famed folk-singer Bob Dylan was born during this 1941 conjunction in Taurus. Some of his most iconic songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind," "The Times They Are a-Changin'," and "Like a Rolling Stone," became anthems of the 1960s counterculture and civil rights movement.

Within the collective sphere, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus signals a period of societal upheaval and transformation. We may witness revolutions in economic systems, shifts in environmental policies, and innovations in sustainable living. There is a chance this alignment could manifest a literal earthquake, but hopefully not! This alignment challenges us to rethink our relationship with material resources, to address issues of inequality, and to embrace alternative ways of organizing society.

On a personal level, this conjunction prompts us to reassess our personal values and priorities. It encourages us to embrace change, even if it feels uncomfortable or unexpected. We may feel a strong urge to break free from routines, to explore new possibilities, and to expand our horizons. It's a time for taking risks, trusting intuition, and cultivating resilience. It’s important to look to the house that holds 21° of Taurus in your natal chart.  This is the area of life where this energy is most likely to reveal itself.
