Dear Cosmic Friends, embodied on Planet Earth,
How’zit going, in the Green Wood Dragon Year (since Feb 10), so far?
JUPITER in TAURUS (May 16, 2023 – May 25, 2024) is a reflection of that energy too.
May green growth return this year, and into the future, on this Planet.
Looks like the Green Dragon will be awakened – and awakening.
JUPITER is this year (May 16, 2023 – May 25, 2024) in TAU.
Meeting & passing URANUS on Apr 20 is the highlight of this JUPITER year.
EmBody Joy – AND Freedom!
Super relevant for all of us with TAUREAN SUN, MOON, AC, Nodes, or Planets (esp. JUPITER)!
URANUS has been in TAU since May 2018 (- 2026) – Wake UP, Earthlings!
The Zodiac sign where it’s ‘least comfortable’ in (considered ‘in Fall’ there).
Lots of shifts and shocks and disruptions have happened since that rattled the boat of stability / comfort / security – affecting so many humans (esp. in war zones, but ‘even’ when it comes to the economy, nature – and our biology). Time to wake up to the territorial (TAU) trauma (UR) – that’s been going on for so long.
The JUPITER contact is also one of the highlights in URANUS’s journey through TAU – enhancing its themes – only to understand better, and even outgrow what has been traumatic.
JUPITER rules SAG, URANUS rules AQ!
So – ‘even’ if you have nothing in TAU where they come together but some energies in SAG / AQ you’d feel the effect!
Think: BIG Surprises. Expect the Unexpected. Free as can BE.
JUPITER – URANUS: Cycles and Historic Context
After the Total Solar Eclipse on Apr 8, the next major cosmic event of this most intense month of the year is coming up, on Apr 20:
The conjunction of JUPITER & URANUS in TAURUS.
These two Planetary Archetypes align only every 13 – 14 years – opening a new cultural-societal cycle of growth (JU) through disruption / paradigm shifts / innovation (UR).
Their last alignment was in 2010 / 2011 on the PI / ARIES cusp – the Spring Equinox / ‘Emergence Point’ where everything starts.
That alignment heralded the fading of an old, and emergence / birth of a New Era altogether – which has become even more obvious in the last years.
Interestingly, in 2025 / 26, SATURN & NEPTUNE will align on that very crucial Zodiac cusp – a pointer to the end of the PISCES Age.
And (together w. PLUTO then fully in AQ) to the beginning of the AQ Age – although the process is a gradual transition, of course.
Another striking factor:
The degree of this year’s JUPITER – URANUS alignment at 21°49′ TAU is just 1° away from the alignment of JUPITER & SATURN on May 28, 2000 – which opened a (rather conservative) 20-year socio-political-economic cycle that lasted until the recent alignment at 1º AQ on Winter SoUlstice (Dec 21) 2020 – A New Era for Our Shared Humanity.
The point where this year PLUTO sits(!) – and yes, ruled by URANUS.
Indicators for the shift from the solid, earthy, grounded, ‘owning’ oriented phase into a new, systems, innovation, and ‘sharing’ oriented (AQ) era.
Its shadow being technocracy, transhumanism, post-humanism (don’t ‘share’ / give away your identity / spirit / soul / humanity!).
Hence, the PLUTO shift also evokes / calls forth
The Power of Our Shared Humanity, in an Era of Deep Change.
Here’s an excellent new (Apr 8) interview with Gregg Braden in that vein.
You might wonder:
When did JUPITER & URANUS align the last time in TAU?
URANUS was the last time in TAU March 1935 – May 1942.
JUPITER was in those years in TAU May 1949 – May 1941, meeting URANUS in May 1941. Right in the middle of WWII.
Some world events in that month:
The London Blitz came to an end.
In Vietnam, the Viet Minh was formed to overthrow French rule of the nation, as an alliance between the Indochina Communist party, led by Ho Chi Minh, and the Nationalist party. It became the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.
Citizen Kane, directed by Orson Welles premiered.
Stalin became Premier of the Soviet Union.
More world events in May 1941 here.
JUPITER – URANUS Themes in TAURUS
Both Planetary Archetypes have to do with Freedom.
JUPITER with freedom as value & virtue:
Freedom to expand, grow, move, follow one’s truth, seize opportunities encompass more in life. The freedom that comes from understanding / seeing the bigger picture.
URANUS with breaking free:
Liberation, waking up / awakening, breakthroughs, independence, paradigm shifts, revolution, sudden ‘cutting of chords’, setting yourself (or being set) free: “I’m out of here!”
The fusion of the two can be about Awakening into Truth & Freedom.
Which can lead to transcending the notions of ‘freedom from’ and ‘freedom to / for’ to living in unconditional Freedom.
Spiritual teacher Krishnamurti would call it ‘Freedom that has no opposite’.
In the meantime, on a practical, TAUREAN level, we not-quite enlightened ones can tune into & align with the following JU – UR effects:
* Breaking sticky habits / attachments that ‘seem’ convenient, rewarding / enjoyable but prevent our true freedom. Toss what doesn’t bring you JOY.
It starts with the mind (says also MERCURY currently retro).
* Waking up to the beauty & abundance of the Earth, and of this Life!
* Anchoring the Light / Higher Frequencies & New Earth Consciousness.
* Planting Seeds of our Unique Gifts, at this critical time.
* Technology and its Morality (or ‘detached’ lack thereof)
Not all that IS possible nowadays SHOULD be done.
The genie comes out of the bottle; the ‘Magician’s Apprentice can’t control the forces s/he invokes / experiments with.
* Even more disruption of biology through technology (think: bio-digital convergence) – why letting technology mess with nature?
* Hyper-erratic effects in economy and Nature – what are the causes?
Paradigm shifts through enhanced understanding can happen, with JU – UR.
* Opportunities through crypto-currencies
Yes, TAU rules the monetary system, or rather: value.
Disruptions (UR) can bring opportunities (JU).
* Promotion of digital currency models (CBDC)
What do We the People (AQ) do about this proposition / covert implementation(!)?
* Epiphanies about / celebrating the ingenuity of Nature / biology!
Cosmic Picture of the Alignment
Here is the ‘Cosmic Map’ of the exact alignment
On Apr 20 at 7:27 pm PDT.
As you can see, besides the JU – UR conjunction, there are more fused / concentrated energies – all between PI and TAU:
In PISCES: SATURN – MARS – NEPTUNE
Draining / drowning, overwhelming energy that seems to go in circles, and might make one feel lost or want to escape / disappear.
How about channeling the energy into dance and music?!
Going with the flow, ‘intentionally’ doing nothing?
And: Acting on spiritual teachings.
In ARIES: The North Node, MERCURY retro, VENUS, and CHIRON
The incentive to show up for / as oneself, with one’s authenticity and boldness – which can heal old / early wounds, and: the wounds of war.
In TAURUS: The SUN (enters TAU on the day before the alignment, Apr 19), and JUPITER / URANUS
Consciously emBody Joy, Truth, and Freedom.
Experiment, and be surprised / surprise ‘your world’.
Again, as in recent charts, the planetary pattern is still a ‘wedge’:
Most Planets concentrated within 90 degrees of the Zodiac.
Extending to LILITH & the (void) MOON end of VIR – like a handle of a ‘bucket’: It’s all practice – to be in alignment with our cosmic assignment…
Sabian Symbol for the Alignment Degree
JUPITER & URANUS come together at 21°49′ TAU.
“TAURUS 22°
WHITE DOVE FLYING OVER TROUBLED WATERS
KEYNOTE
The spiritual inspiration that comes to the individual in the overcoming of crisis
Here also we are confronted with a symbol of guidance, and the dove flying over troubled waters reminds one of the story of Noah and the Ark. Noah met his and mankind’s crisis courageously and in complete obedience to God’s promptings. The test completed, he received the dove’s message.
It is a message from the Holy Spirit announcing a new Dispensation.
This symbolic scene can be applied to personal crises resulting from emotional upheavals or from the irruption of unconscious forces / impulses into the consciousness – if the crisis has been faced in the right spirit.
This second stage symbol is in contrast to the preceding one because here it is not the product of a culture, a ‘book’, but instead the rhythm of cosmic, God-ordained cycles that reveals its conclusive beat through a living and concretely significant sign – a REWARD TO THE FAITHFUL.”
Now, that encompasses the PI – AR – TAU concentrations!
In the PISCEAN realm we may feel overwhelmed by the chaos of ‘troubled waters’ that connect us all.
Here, the challenge (SATURN) is to stay spiritually connected, surrender (NEPTUNE) one’s ego-wants (MARS) and have faith-beyond-hope.
Que sera sera. Different from giving up.
How do we face (AR) a crisis?
Processing the Apr 8 TSE with CHIRON – an Eclipse of war escalation.
Wounds of confrontation and violence SO need to heal.
Where did / how does it start? Where do we start the healing (AR)?
Time to show up authentically, be in the moment, start NEW (rather than repressing and shutting down our truth – or: lashing out).
TAU shows manifestations of the energy (PI) and spirit / actions (AR).
Which can appear like a reward, even ‘miracle’ / surprise / synchronicity.
We did our part to show up for it, surrendered, in expectation-free ways.
Where is TAURUS in your (birth / relocation) Chart?
That’s the access point where the JUPITER – URANUS alignment invites / provokes you to liberate yourself from the ‘Known’ / from stagnation and attachment.
And to be an awakened expression of your embodied freedom.

ASTRO~CONSULTATIONS
Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
From time to time, I have OFFERS on which you can find on my Astrology for Self Realization FB Page.
ASTRO~EXPERIENCES
via Courses, Workshops, and Embodied Astrology
Our experiential and embodied Astrology groups have over time (the 16 years I’ve been facilitating them) become quite potent and catalytic.
The intimate Astro hubs (max 6 participants) are a treasured way of being personally seen and involved – more commitment, a personal sense of community, and deeper effects.
Come join us, if deep synergy in a circle speaks to you!
