Upcoming Jupiter/Uranus conjunction

[Oneruledbymars]

It falls in my 7th house.
No surprise there , right AJ...ha

This article is by one my favorite Astrologers Lynn Koiner...this is going to be one hell of year.

The Great Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction of 2010

In 1966, I went to an astrologer for the first time in my life. It was a life-altering event and I knew that I wanted to be just like this astrologer, Catherine Grant. During the course of the reading, she told me about the Great Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction. She informed me that, when it occurs in Aries or Libra, there is always a great scientific breakthrough that impacts the world… “Just watch what happens in July of 1969!!” I could hardly wait as it was only 3 years away. Indeed, at that time, in July of 1969, there was a great scientific breakthrough as man landed on the Moon.

When I looked back into history for the last Conjunction in Aries, this was when Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic— anyone with a radio was listening to hear the news of his safe arrival on the Irish coast. And, 42 years later, the world would be watching on television. These two events were not just an American Experience but a World Experience, an achievement of the Human Race.

When these two planets move into an alignment of 36 degrees, usually during the preceding year, we get a glimpse as to the nature of this breakthrough. In 1968, during the 36 degree approach, we began sending astronauts around the Moon, preceding the actual lunar landing. This vanguard alignment will occur in early 2009. At that time, humanity will become aware of the breakthrough about to occur. This is also true of the changes that will occur in our personal lives as a result of the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction— we will begin to sense them, the new direction in our lives, in early 2009.

Jupiter and Uranus are aligned every 14 years but only every 42 years does this alignment occur in Aries or Libra. In any sign, I have found this Conjunction to represent an expansive time in my life:

1969— This is the year when I became a full-time professional astrologer. With the Lunar Landing, astrology was very popular and astrologers were in demand. It was very easy to transition into a full-time practice in 1969.

1983— During this period, I was studying and teaching Esoteric Astrology & Psychology. This was an expansive period and, for me, these studies were life-altering. The new organization that I helped initiate in 1982, AMETHYST, brought a great deal of recognition and publicity for me.

1997— This was a major turning point in my life in terms of my diet, weight loss and appearance. This gave me such confidence and I was never the same again. I was a featured speaker at an international astrological conference. Yet, an important relationship ended. Looking back, this was an important part of my expansion process.

Think about what happened to you during these cycles in your own life. There were difficult experiences but, overall, these were highly expansive periods in my life. It is a progressive cycle so that it is much easier to do progressive things.

This article is not about historical events but about how we will experience the Great Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction. Where this Conjunction falls in the natal horoscope shows where we feel compelled to take a risk with our lives, to experience adventure, to explore our creative potential and to overcome the fears in our lives. There is always something within the human psychology that resists change so that there will still be a lot of psychological “arm wrestling.” That is, some of us may not be ready to let go of the past. There will be some people, like the old dinosaurs, who are about to become extinct — people who will never change.

There will be those Creative Souls who are willing to take a leap of consciousness and a leap of faith into a New Dimension of Being. Our world is changing and we must, with the motivation of the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction in both Pisces and Aries, change with it. If you want to understand diversity in the multi-cultural society, learn to value and respect the opinions of others, even if you do not agree with them.

In the 1st House, the individual is willing to take risks in self-expression, to take a risk in the projection of the self out into the world, and to express the self in a new way. Often, this House will attract the individual to political and activist activities, seeking to bring changes into the world and to be politically active in the expression of one’s views. It is a time to stand up for your beliefs. While this may appear to be a 9th House experience, in actuality, the core identity will change.

In the 12th House, however, you are to take the risk of exploring your true inner nature, to find out who you really are, to confront your fears, where you fear life, intimacy and people— all of which makes you feel a bit disconnected. Changes will occur on the inside before they can manifest externally— and they will indeed manifest externally. This is not an inactive time. You will find yourself more active in some place or location where no one knows your “old self,” freeing you to explore and flower into the new self.

In the 2nd, 6th and 10th Houses, the individual is willing to take a risk with the career, to follow one’s heart and seek to simplify one’s life in terms of material acquisitiveness. In the 2nd House, your values will be transformed in order to give new meaning to the life. You may feel lost until some new activity is found that gives new meaning and new direction to the life. In 1969, the Libra Conjunction occurred in my 2nd House. I caught the expansive wave and pursued my dream of being an astrologer. In the 6th House, you seek changes in the habits and systems in your life, freeing yourself from addictive patterns and learning to coordinate your efforts with others. The meaning of coordination/_collaboration_ must be clearly defined. The 2nd and 6th Houses are Healing Houses and some may find a special interest in the Healing Arts. In the 10th House, there will be a transformation in your attitude toward authority so that you can assume your own role as an authority figure. Each of these Houses show a need to achieve a sense of wholeness and integration through doing what is best for the Whole, operating from your Center of Integrity and not reacting to the critical complaints of others.

In the 3rd and 9th Houses, the individual must take the risk to change thinking patterns, to explore new mental worlds and to transform long cherished but outmoded concepts. In order to continue to grow, the individual must embrace new ideas, new techniques, new technologies, even new philosophies and cultures rather than maintain the old order of doing, thinking and believing. Travel and education will have a transformational impact upon the life.

In the 4th House, we are urged to break free from old ancestral patterns in our lives, to uproot ourselves from our environment and to take the risk of making drastic change in our foundations, for a new way of being that supports who we are. Natal planets in the 4th House often describe emotional shocks or traumas in the childhood that bind us to the past. The 4th House represents behavior patterns— fear, guilt or an undue sense of responsibility— that have been passed down through the generations that keep us from growing and moving forward.

With the Great Conjunction occurring in this House, we need to take the risk of changing those old outmoded concepts, to liberate ourselves from the past in order to embrace the future. One of my students was raised in a family in which all of the children were told repeatedly that, if they want to be happy, they should never have children— and no one ever took the risk to change this programming and have children. With the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in her 4th House, this woman found herself pregnant for the first time in her life— and she was in her mid-40s! In taking the risk to start a family, she shook the foundations of her entire family, changing the traditions for everyone in her family!

The 8th House is a House of Transformation. This House rules all things totally beyond our control and our attitude toward such matters— how we feel about being out of control. Transformational events can occur, totally beyond our control, and we are challenged to flow with whatever happens rather than engage in a futile attempt to control. Sometimes, the feeling of powerlessness in the 3-dimensional world facilitates the development of empowerment through new spiritual values and insights. This spirituality can produce healing talents— physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and even economic— through which the individual can transform the lives of others.

In the 5th House, this is a cycle for creative transformation of the personality, a time to get in touch with the inner child and to take a risk with creativity. It is a time to explore what gives you inner joy, to find something that gives you so much pleasure that you just do it, without regard for the approval or disapproval of others. It is a cycle for re-defining the concept of LOVE, what makes us feel loved and appreciated. For this reason, this can be disruptive to some of our personal relationships.

The 7th and 11th Houses rule our relationship with others— personal intimacy with the 7th House and the intimacy of shared goals with the 11th House. This is a cycle to take the risk of expanding one’s social circle beyond what is comfortable and familiar. I personally spent many years meditating in groups to expand my consciousness but this was never achieved. It was only when I went out into the world, explored the unfamiliar, the unknown, in relationships, that my own consciousness began to expand.

The 7th House asks the individual to re-define what is really needed in terms of relationships. Maybe you do not need as much closeness in your relationships — maybe you need something less traditional, maybe you need to find an important aspiration that bonds you to others. A friend found that her new job provided a sense of community connectedness— “it was not just a job but a place where a great diversity of people could meet and share interests.” The 7th House is a Public House, the projection of self into a public arena. Yet, all of the changes that come into our lives will be directed by others. We must follow their lead if we are to trust, grow and expand.

In the 11th House, Jupiter-Uranus marks a cycle for taking a risk in connecting socially with others, with people who are different, unusual, but with whom there are shared goals and aspirations. Both the 7th and 11th Houses need to connect with people with whom you can experience something bigger than the relationship. In depersonalizing the relationship, we can explore a great vision in relating to others.

I emphasize the concept of intimacy, with one’s self and others, in interpreting the effects of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. Resulting from the Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Virgo in the 1960s, humanity seemed to experience a loss of intimacy as we sought to discover ourselves in career-oriented and materialistic ways. This will ultimately lead to a crisis from 2012-2014 when Uranus and Pluto reconnect— another cycle for rebelling against government and big businesses that are no longer responsive to the will of the people.

With the Saturn-Uranus-Neptune alignments in the late 1980s-early 1990s, there arose an awareness that something had been lost. Spirit had been abandoned. The Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction provides an opportunity to reconnect with the creative part of ourselves, a part that we relinquished for external security.

Relating and intimacy under the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction will be experienced through a sense of community, connecting with what has been lost in a new, dynamic way. No one relationship can satisfy its expansive needs. Initially, this Conjunction occurs in the sign of Pisces, compassion and caring will be the keynote of its expression.

In modern times, when humanity takes a leap in consciousness, this is paralleled with great advances in technology, psychological understanding of ourselves and a renewed demand for human rights. Especially with the conjunction in Aries, there will be many technological breakthroughs connected with one very major breakthrough. Such a major breakthrough can stun the thinking of the masses, uprooting us from the past so that we can take a leap of consciousness. Zero Aries is the “World Point” so that this specific conjunction will have a global impact.

NOTE: An excellent reference on the Alignment Cycles of the Planets can be discovered in Richard Tarnas’ excellent tome, COSMOS & PSYCHE. On page 480, he states, “All periods involving major Uranus alignments tend to constellate these themes in concrete events, each cycle doing so with different inflections according to the second planets involved. The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction of 2010-early 2011 will take place during the peak of the T-Square [alignment]… this is likely to coincide with unexpected new beginnings, expansive impulses and creative breakthroughs of many kinds that will shape the larger whole— some immediately visible to public awareness, some of a more hidden nature that fully emerge later.”

Great article ORBM,

And I have to say that I experienced major changes in the years 83 and 97, and what I found most interesting was this –

 

In modern times, when humanity takes a leap in consciousness, this is paralleled with great advances in technology, psychological understanding of ourselves and a renewed demand for human rights.

If it has you excited, do you have any plans you wish to share? Or any advice that others should take into consideration through this transition?

I read this same article, onerealedbymars. I am glad you posted it.

[Oneruledbymars]

Glad you two liked it....
AJ...well I think that for me personally this just lets me know that everything is as it should be and that even the timeline of my path is matching Astrology as well.
So I guess for me its just reassurance, just one more reason to continue living in the moment and staying balanced.
I am going to put up an Article about the NN as well as I think it is very important right now for me  to be looking at its Energies and implementing in my life. And I have seen some great results because of it. I think it just might help others as well, to take that leap of consciousness in the 3D we must first see that from which we are leaping and that to which we are going...how far we get is up to each one of us..

But doing this puts us in the position to be utilizing the Energy that things like this conjunction are bringing into our auras. By working with it through our Chakra systems I think this could be a year of profound and real changes for people.

There needs to be less talk and more do...you know.

Taking good long looks at ourselves, the person in the mirror is a manifestation of our Energy, and if we do not see balance, and harmony, and beauty on every level of our physical lives...including our very bodies...then we are being afforded a chance to do such by using this available Energy. Knowlege of it is the first step though. Learning how to use these Chakras correctly is the next...h

I also found this article - http://funkastrology.co.uk/jupiter-conju...heat-2010/ In my search to figure out where the conjunction will be in my chart - still havent figured that out! Though I note that in 1997 that I had decided and was determined to go to university the following year (which I did) and the funny thing is I intend to go back to uni next year now!

[Oneruledbymars]

Askilla,
So in 1997 that happened to you, its funny in 1997 I got accepted in to the Physical Therapy program, as the youngest student to get accepted, I had just turned 18, but had 2 years of undergrad studies already, and it was an incredible year, I went on to graduate at the top of my class, so I can see how that Energy helped me.

The conjunction will be at 0 Degrees Aries..known to Astrologers as the Aries Point. Making this one hell of a transit...really. Im going take some time to talk about it because maybe people will see just what a momentous time this will be for everyone. There are weak transits and there are strong ones....this one as a whole has and will affect our lives as a collective consciousness it, always has...how is up to us.

First consider the facts about the Aries Point or vernal Equinox, in the Tropical Zodiac it is a NODE. Node by definition is the point where an orbit crosses the plane of two diametrically opposite points. The actual Aries point is marking the place where the sun crosses the equatorial plain as it heads North. Kim Falconer describes it as a Sun/Gaia node.....as opposed to the Lunar nodes which include the Sun/Gaia/Moon.

And of course being the first Cardinal point in the Zodiac this links the Aries point to all the other Cardinal signs as well. We all have the Aries point at the same place in our charts. But based on our placements to it, we can see how the Energy works in our lives.

The reason why the AP (Aries Point)is so significant, is that it represents the flow of Energy from inner qualities to an outer public manifestation. In a sense, it orients us toward the world by affecting the things in our lives that pertain to society, public events, and all relationships propelled from us as individuals into the collective consciousness of those around us. Does this make sense?
Its like exploding on to the scene of the world, like Old Faithful pushing up and exploding into the air, interacting with the outside world in a very real way and shaping  it based on what energies connect to this point in our Charts.

Since this Uranus/Jupiter conjunction will be on the actual Aries point consider that of all the Cardinal points, the Aries one has to do with our "will to be"...or sense of I AM.......do you see how that Energy moves us out from the subjective and into manifest reality?

I like this quote by Don McBroom:

“Power behind dominant traits and public projection. He says, “…the AP can be an indicator of an individual's Potential for Public Projection. Often this measurement was uncannily related to the person's claim to fame or for what they will be remembered. When there was direct contact between a specific Planet or Point (i.e. Ascendant or Midheaven) and the AP (within a two-degree orb), there was frequently a distinguishable relationship with the energies traditionally associated with that planet that was publicly observable in the individual.”

So looking our charts we should consider what points conjunct the AP. Because the Energy and drive of that planet has the added thrust or urge to express collectively and this is one of the traits that the public as a whole most readily will remember us for.

Consider me...My Mercury in Pisces is at 29 degrees. Conjunct the Aries Point. I have Asteroids there as well. but right now we will stick with the planets.
For me this transit clearly will have a strong effect on my intellect, thoughts and ways of communicating...so I have a chance here to work with my Solar and Communication Chakras.....and evidently my ways of communicating will capture the public eye...as this is also in my 7th house, in Pisces.....the Energy is Mutable, and Cardinal.
And its exactly trined by Jupiter at 29 degrees Cancer.
Expanding the chance that people will see me as witty, bright, mercurial and clever....things that any actor about to enter the publics eye would want to be viewed as to have a solid beginning.
So you can see why I am so excited AJ....and the trine from Jupiter gives it a little luck and the properties of expansion that could be used to ride to the top very quickly, if that is what the plan is here.

So in looking at your own chart keep the orbs within 2 degres either way...so what lies in your chart from 28 Degrees Pisces to 2 Degrees Aries, conjunctions, trines, squares and oppositions can help us see how this Energy will be manifest for us...or at least gives us clues as to where we can work for the best results.
Knowledge is wisdom.
Wisdom is power.

As a Node in the Chart the AP isnt so much how we interact with society this is more the MC...but is how and WILL the world see us....it can indicate the relative "fame" of an individual (or infamy) and how society at large or the world events may effect our lives.
And we must keep in mind that we are not all touched equally by these kinds of things...just as our charts are not identical, neither will our Energy interactions be, but one thing is for sure, all is as it should be.
The AP also  has to do with who or what in society we notice and who or what will notices us.
Some even view it as our concept of the world, people in the public life and our approach to manifest reality.
Because the AP literally, and symbolically is the point where Spirit (Sun) enters manifest Reality (Earth). And for everyone that is an Aries thing, meaning it is  Cardinal...Cardinal by definition is the leader of the Zodiac, he takes actition, initiation, inauguration. WHERE that initiaion of Spirit into Matter occurs is what becomes important.....as important as the Energy that is touching it.

Mine is in my 7th house. Through this I can tell where it is I will begin my relationship to the world at large. Looking at the first article I posted by Koiner:

"The 7th House asks the individual to re-define what is really needed in terms of relationships. Maybe you do not need as much closeness in your relationships — maybe you need something less traditional, maybe you need to find an important aspiration that bonds you to others. A friend found that her new job provided a sense of community connectedness— “it was not just a job but a place where a great diversity of people could meet and share interests.” The 7th House is a Public House, the projection of self into a public arena. Yet, all of the changes that come into our lives will be directed by others. We must follow their lead if we are to trust, grow and expand"

So clearly this ties in with me being an Actor..and I need to be open to the guidance that will come from others...what this says to my Soul is that I will see that my career is a result of others helping me, clearly teaching me the realiance I should have on the Universe to provide what I need as long as I use my talents to stay in the moment and "hear" what the Spirit says...and with my Venus not far...and being in the 7th...it will bring a relationship as well. Hopefully this time it will be someone that I can grow and learn from. But by keeping my frequency high, I can only attract other high frequency...and I finally know how to say no..... So that should be a pleasant experience. It would be nice to finally have someone like that in my life romantically. So for me what this transit has to offer is the manifestion of my career and my romantic life in to a public arena.
The Mercury and Jupiter interactions shows how it will affect me personally...as these traits that these Energies carry will be projected out into public as well...perhaps I should write a book...ha! But I am writing a script so that could have some connection as well.

And that is what this year will be all about for each and everyone of us. A year of self discovery and connection.
To me the Cosmos are saying to all of us..."it is time".

So for each of us interested.
Perhaps we can examine each others charts and start by observing the planets, asteroids or points that will be affected in our charts by the transit.

What does the transit "wake up" in our charts?
What does it need?
What does it have to offer?

Answers to these questions help us understand what the Aries Point transit in January of 2011 means in practical terms, and how we can apply it to the immediate moment.

funnily enough 1997 was the year of my 18th birthday, just days before which I became pretty ill with glandular fever which never left. Just after, all the sleep paralysis and dark visits first began. Health got steadily worse until I had to leave work a couple of years after & was housebound for months, I have never recovered enough to hold down a job even now... I guess it all worked backwards for me! wah.
