The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction will be exact on April 20th. Its influence began in mid-March and will run through May 25th, when Jupiter then leaves Taurus for Gemini (dates below). This is a transit that affects the collective. And it is cyclical, meaning that Jupiter and Uranus come together roughly every 14 years. They occupy different signs each time they come together, however, and will also occupy a different place in your birth chart.

Jupiter magnifies the themes of the sign that it’s in, so this year ahead will be a time in which the areas of health and money are front and center. Jupiter brings abundance and opportunity. We will be given the chance to improve our health and grow our resources.

But with any Jupiter event, we are asked to take the leap into new territory in order to reap the potential benefits. Jupiter requires us to let go of tried-and-true approaches in favor of embracing the unknown. We can release attachment to our habits that keep us stuck regarding health and finances, if we are willing.

For the collective, whatever sign Jupiter is in reveals the path to finding vision, optimism, faith, confidence, and opportunity. Jupiter in Aries invites us to expand our world through new endeavors. Aries is bold, passionate, and assertive. Embodying these qualities will help each of us to reconnect with faith in ourselves.

Jupiter and Neptune together in this sign are amplifying the Pisces archetype. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and often is associated with endings. That is why, during Pisces times, we are asked to let go of things. It might be a relationship that is no longer healthy (or never was). It might be a job situation that has become untenable. It might be a belief that guided us in the past, but no longer reflects who we are.

Often we don’t understand the loss at the time. It can be hard to accept that we need to let go. But Pisces teaches us to trust that we are being guided and cared for, even if we can’t perceive it at the time.
