Jupiter square Uranus

How to manage the square from Jupiter to Saturn, 2024-2025

We might look at Jupiter and Saturn as the two planets which help us to interact with the outer world. Unlike the other planets which describe the inner personality, Jupiter and Saturn describe the way we reach for the future with our hopes and dreams (Jupiter) and begin to master the material world (Saturn). Jupiter helps us to craft theologies and beliefs that help to give our life meaning and gives us the confidence to venture into the future; Saturn reminds us that hard work and adversity is the way to build […]

Astrological update for the week of January 18, 2021: Inauguration astrology, a lot of Mars, and heads up for Mercury retrograde

Today’s video is not political! And I’m very relieved that the weekend did not turn out to be the chaotic disruption that was promised after January 6th so I’m hopeful for a smooth presidential transition this week after the inauguration.  However, I do spend a few minutes talking about the chart for the inauguration, as well as some thoughts for how to manage these challenging times. Mercury will turn retrograde on January 30th so we might as well start to prepare now as the speed of Mercury begins to slow down.  Transcript follows the promo material.

1.16.21 The winds of change with tomorrow’s Jupiter/Uranus square

Although there is only one phase of this alignment, it’s an important one because we are shifting from a Capricornian period into one dominated by Aquarius, its two rulers Saturn and Uranus, and Jupiter. In mythology this was a patriarchal lineage that required dramatic changes and likely spoke to the cultural upheaval occurring in Greece at the time.  In any event, the exact alignment from Jupiter to Uranus occurs on January 17th at 5:49 pm EST but its effect will linger for a couple of weeks and will be amplified by […]

1.15.21. Breaking the chains

art by Amber Crystal Elf on Deviant Art

As Mars, planet of aggression and drive, interacts over the next few days with Jupiter (freedom) and Uranus (radical revolution), it will trigger that Jupiter/Uranus square and inspire some radical reactions to any kind of oppression or restriction.  This will play out with some difficulty on the global stage, but in our personal lives it could have the effect of shaking us out of anywhere we have felt stuck and unable to move forward with a dream or idea of […]

1.13.21. Just when we thought we were done with Mars…

art by Samuel Farrand

Mars may have left Aries, but it is pretty busy this week.  Mars (aggression) squares Saturn (repression) today as the Sun approaches a conjunction to Pluto (intensity), and over the week Mars will act as a flare for the challenging square from Jupiter (expansion) to Uranus (revolution).  If you’re thinking that doesn’t sound like a great planetary climate for insurrection and the breakdown of government in the United States (Pluto in Capricorn returning to its place in the US chart), you would be correct.  I […]

The meaning of this week’s Capricorn New Moon 1/12-1/13/21

Capricorn-new-moon artist unknown

A New Moon is a brand new beginning, and we get one every 29 days or so, going through the cycle of the zodiac to begin anew in each of the twelve areas of life represented by the twelve zodiac signs.  The Capricorn New Moon is typically a time for building something new to improve our mastery of the physical world, and the Capricorn New Moon is the perfect time to set goals and aspirations for the New Year.

This New Moon is packed with intensity and powerful planetary alignments that […]

The Jupiter/Pluto opposition: this time with Venus

Art  by Mati Klarwein Art by Mati Klarwein

The most recent opposition (180 degree) formation between Jupiter and Pluto began last summer and you can catch up on that earlier article here.

Jupiter inspires us to find meaning in our lives by developing faith and belief in an ideal that works for us.  It therefore rules theology and religion, but also travel and exposure to other cultures that expand our minds.  Jupiter also presides over the realm of higher knowledge and the search for a truth that makes […]

Jupiter square Uranus, opening wide the doors of liberation

We are currently in the midst of a major planetary cycle: the square from Uranus to Pluto.  If this concept is new to you, please see the abbreviated explanation in the sidebar of this site.  

Jupiter formed an exact square to Uranus last week, the first of three exact alignments that will amplify the shifting tides in our personal lives as well as on the world stage that are creating the necessity for a complete overhaul (Uranus in Aries) of the very foundation of our lives (Pluto in Capricorn).  With a […]

Jupiter opposite Pluto August 2013: Negotiating with the Gods

Jupiter opposite Pluto 2013

There’s no denying that the past week or so has been intense, with the planet of war (Mars) aligning with the King of the Gods (Jupiter).  Jupiter represents our desire to expand our horizons and grow in confidence and knowledge, we long to interact with other cultures and to become knowledgeable and even perhaps famous.

When Jupiter is involved we seek to be as one with the gods – to be our best selves.  This can sometimes make us a little cocky and perhaps even arrogant or self-righteous, and when […]
