Between Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st this week Jupiter will conjoin Uranus at 21º Taurus. Want to know why this is such a hyped up event in certain circles and how you can make the most of it depending on your personal chart? Read on to find out
Why is everyone so excited about this?
Jupiter is a much beloved planet in astrology. It is considered the planet of good luck and fortune and where it sits in your personal chart is an area that will usually come quite easily to you. Additionally, it also represents expansion (it is the biggest planet in the solar system after all) and everything it comes into contact with will grow and expand.
Uranus on the other hand represents innovation, technology and out-of-the-box thinking. In a way it also represents expansion, though not by creating more of what already is, but instead by opening new doors and creating more possibilities.
So, what does it mean when these two power houses meet and their energies are combined? In short: Unlimited possibilities. Expect an expansion into the new, the unusual and the never-before-seen. This energy is further amplified with Pluto sitting in Aquarius since January this year.
To really make the most out of this powerful energy, allow yourself to cultivate an open mind. You might have certain goals in your life that you have been pursuing for a while, but in the run up to this weekend I invite you to take a step back and instead become crystal clear on the feelings and the sensations that you are expecting these goals to create. Focus on this and nothing else. Chances are, they might come into your life in totally unexpected ways that are more amazing than anything you could have imagined. Bear in mind, though, that Uranus energy is not necessarily all that gentle. There may be shocks or unpleasant surprises, though only ever for the purpose of pointing out an old path that simply does not apply to you anymore. All it means is that something better is right around the corner.
With this conjunction happening in Taurus, we are on our way to see these unlimited possibilities manifest in very real and tangible ways – but where in your life this energy will be felt most strongly depends on your individual chart. Read on to find out where this powerful conjunction is likely to create the most surprising changes in your life based on your ascendant!
If you don’t know your Ascendant or rising sign, there are many free online resources where you can enter your date and time of birth in order to calculate them. Here is a pretty straightforward one I’ve used successfully in the past. Please note, though, that rising signs move quickly, so it’s important to know your place and exact time of birth (or get as close to that as possible).
Aries rising
If your ascendant is in Aries, this conjunction will hit you in your house of money and values. This could translate into literal money manifesting in unexpected ways or from unexpected sources, or it could be a new way of earning money which you previously hadn’t considered (perhaps simply because it didn’t exist before). Alternatively, you may be rethinking what you value and there could be a significant change in your priorities.
Taurus rising
If your ascendant is in Taurus, you are one of the signs that will feel this conjunction most intensely, as it will hit you in your house of self and ego. This means new, unexpected insights into who you can be as a person and how you could be perceived in the world. You might even get an urge to completely reinvent yourself. If you do, pay attention to where that urge came from. If your heart approves, go for it – now is as good a time as ever to become an entirely new you!
Gemini rising
If your ascendant is in Gemini, things could get a little freaky over the weekend. This powerful conjunction will bring unlimited possibilities in unexpected ways on a hidden soul level. There might be some intense and unusual dream experiences, such as lucid or prophetic dreams or sleep paralysis. From astral travel to telepathy or out-of-body experiences – no matter how weird and wonderful, it’s all on the cards for you.
Cancer rising
If your ascendant is in Cancer, new possibilities will open up with groups and belonging. You may fall into a new crowd, or consider joining an organisation that previously hadn’t been on your radar. On a larger scale, you may feel called to humanitarian action and helping the world. Alternatively, new technologies may unlock hitherto impossible paths for you.
Leo rising
If your ascendant is in Leo, get ready for new career opportunities in your life. The effect may be very obvious (for example through a direct job offer), or more subtle – for example, someone mentioning in passing that you would be great at a certain path which you had never considered before. Pay attention for any new business ideas you get during this time as well, as they could give you an opportunity to be one of the first in a given area, or doing business in a certain way.
Virgo rising
If your ascendant is in Virgo, new possibilities will unfold in either your education or world travel. You may consider going on a trip to a destination that feels a little out of your comfort zone, or you might start thinking about relocating entirely. Another way in which you may experience this influence is with a sudden drive to delve deep into a new topic – whether it’s new to you, or new on a global level. This could be through something as simple as purchasing a book or watching a documentary, or signing up for a course or certification. If you get sudden hits of insight or wisdom over the weekend, I thoroughly recommend that you write them down! This is information that may come in very useful to you at a later time.
Libra rising
If your ascendant is in Libra, well, just expect the unexpected! You are due for a deep, profound transformation and it’s anyone’s guess how it will unfold. It could be something dramatic like a total change of life circumstances, or something subtle, like a sudden realisation that you are no longer the person you used to be. Either way, it is bound to be life-altering in the long run. Your sexuality will be charged and this will be a great time to safely explore your fantasies.
Scorpio rising
If your ascendant is in Scorpio, new possibilities will manifest in your close relationships. This could be love relationships, such as meeting your future spouse, or learning something unexpected about your current partner. It could also be a new close friend, or the formation of a new business partnership. Pay close attention to the people who come into your life during this time, especially if you feel drawn to them for whatever reason.
Sagittarius rising
If your ascendant is in Sagittarius, you are set to get a glimpse of a new, unexpected way of life. Whatever new possibilities open up to you, they are bound to affect you on a very real, physical, day-to-day level. It could be new living arrangements, a new job or changes to your current one, or a new circle of people you surround yourself with, just to name a few. If you’ve been struggling with your health lately, the conjunction may bring a much needed glimmer of hope towards recovery, or a new, alternative path towards healing.
Capricorn rising
If your ascendant is in Capricorn, new possibilities open up in terms of your dreams and wishes, or your creative pursuits. If you feel called to do anything artistic, whether that’s painting, drawing, making music, or even designing a website or redecorating a room, do everything you can to follow that call! You could be creating something truly extraordinary with this energy at play. In addition, you might get a glimpse on how a secret wish could come into fulfilment, or you may redefine what your heart truly wishes for in this lifetime.
Aquarius rising
If your ascendant is in Aquarius, you will feel this conjunction mostly in your home and family life. Perhaps certain events unfold that affect your parents, spouse, or children. Perhaps you reconnect with a family member you’ve been out of touch with for a long time. Or perhaps you redefine family and home structures altogether and contemplate new living arrangements with friends or animals, or making the world your home instead.
Pisces rising
If your ascendant is in Pisces, you are up for a revolution in the area of thoughts and communication. An entire new way of seeing and thinking about the world could open up for you. This is an exciting development, as a new way of thinking will inevitably manifest into new and exciting life developments. Your communication is bound to open up immensely and you may find it suddenly much easier to get your truth across to others.
