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.”
ADDENDUM: With so many people talking about the June eclipse, I must tell you how it has affected my dad, Charlie. While these upcoming eclipses are hitting my chart strongly, I will just discuss my dad’s chart.
On the day of the Great Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, it was in his 7th House trine his Sun in Sag in the 3rd House. That day was Charlie Koiner Day in Silver Spring MD with a big celebration because he and I are the subjects of a new documentary. Charlie signed posters for the film that the film makers gave out for free.
Now the eclipse is this morning but yesterday he attended the showing of this film at the American Film Institute. Tickets were sold out at all of the showings. After the showing, he came up on the stage and answered questions for the audience. After it was over, people mobbed my dad to ask questions and take photos.
AFI staff had to clear the mob out to get ready for the next film to be shown. Oliver Stone and other celebrities were there — I recognize their faces but I cannot think of their names.
I actually attended the Friday night screening. I was amazed because people treated us like movie stars but then I had to realize…we are movie stars! There was a huge poster outside of the AFI theater with my dad’s picture and, inside the theater, they were playing interviews with him and I after the public showing on Tuesday night. That is, since all of the tickets were sold, AFI decided to show the film for free. The Plaza in Silver Spring was mobbed with people everywhere….even though it had only stopped raining 30 minutes earlier.
I was amazed that many of my dad’s friends, customers and neighbors attended and they were all so surprised at how sensitive I am. They always see the independent side, never the sensitive side….even I was amazed that they got all of this from the film. I was only horrified that I never took the film makers seriously so I did not wash my hair or put on make up. But, it is a love story about a father and daughter and this does impress others, esp. if they do not have such a good relationship.
The eclipse conjuncts my dad’s 4th House planets in Capricorn. Now people are coming to our 1 acre farm 3 blocks from Whole Foods market to see us and the city farm. Some politicians were there and I approached them about tax breaks for down-country farm land (this means in the city and “victory garden” plots).
May 10, 06:50 AM EXACT DATES FOR ALIGNMENT: I just used the Solar Fire program to select the Conjunction dates. I knew there was 1 in Aries and another in Pisces…but there are 2 conjunctions in Pisces.
DATES: June 8 2010 at 0 Aries; September 18 2010 at 28 Pisces; January 4 2011 at 27 Pisces.
It is the Conjunction at 0 Aries – the World Point – that will portend a great scientific breakthrough and the world will be impacted by this (this is the influence of Aries but especially 0 Aries, a very powerful position).

“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 are experienced on a road that is very difficult to walk— you are quite vulnerable if you care.”
Hi Susan – It took me awhile to find this paragraph. Frankly, I cannot remember what I was thinking when I wrote this. The conjunction is a very good one but I may have been referring to Pisces connecting with global needs when the Conjunction occurs in the 11th House.
Pisces is very empathetic and such caring about humanity can make people like yourself, if you embark upon a humanitarian path, to feel deeply for others. As you surely know, there are many people in great economic pain at this time.
I am glad that you pointed this paragraph out because it really does not make sense. I will delete this because it is not important, at least, not as I see it now.

I was born in 1969 with Jupiter-Uranus conjunct at 1 and 2 Libra and in opposition to my 00 Aries Sun/North Node. So, obviously 1969 is a big year for me. :^)
In 1983 I remember becoming very interested in fitness, weight lifting and, with a Saturn/Venus conjunction in Aries, skin care. So, I started working out, walking with more confidence and authority, my skin started clearing up and, because of all that (I think), people in high school started treating me better.
In 1997 (actually in November 1996), I moved to NYC from Los Angeles. I also met and moved in with the man I’m still with and we had the most amazing dog come into our lives who’s still with us (almost 12 and going strong!). 1997 was a watershed year for me in many respects.
With this upcoming conjunction directly on my 00 Aries Sun/North Node (ruling my 9th House) as well as in opposition to my Jupiter/Uranus in Libra in my 2nd, who knows WHAT will a happen next!

Hello Lynn,
Thank you for the article. I am in the process of “organizing” my career as Astrologer here in Germany. I am getting a lot of help from a few, key, important people. My point is that, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction occurs tightly conjunct my MC at 1 Ari 23. The symbolism (and your comments) about it seems very appropriate for the start of a business in a foreign country relating to Astrology. (I have been doing this 20 years, only NOW I begin to manifest my dream HERE in Germany.)
The comments concerning being/becoming an authority figure are dead on. In addition, the comments about what is better for the whole really ties into this, since my main motivation for doing this really is helping people.
By the way, I natally have Uranus quindecile Jupiter, so I have seen the “saving grace” element of this placement so often that I (shamefully) do take it for granted. I expect something spectacular during this time (that you outlined) and will be poised to seize the moment.
Nice article, thanks!

Look to the House position of your natal Uranus to see from where many of the changes may be coming.

Whoa. I was a little kid in 1997 but it is still important. My mother left my stepfather that year, which set off an endless string of poverty, psychological upheaval and frequent moves for years afterward.
I began researching this when I found out about a t-square between Uranus-Saturn and Pluto that is exact on my birthday in 2010 (my solar return chart is just ridiculous for that year). In April 2009 I decided to switch my major focus of study to biological sciences.
I read a book that came out early this year called “The Meaning of Life” about an ongoing project to create synthetic organisms through cells made entirely from scratch; no genetic engineering, no reproduction, basically life from non-life. A group of scientists started a company in Venice a while ago. Could be something. :)
Check out this: http://www.santafe.edu/profiles/?pid=106 This is the founder of that company. He got his PhD in 1983, and became CEO of a financial company in 1997. Goodness me how do you do this Lynn?
Sep 1, 09:36 AM
I would focus upon the Conjunction interpretation in the 5th House trine Venus in the 9th. Yes, this can cover a wide area that really requires synthesizing your chart but, since I cannot do this here, it is excellent for creative media, transformational workshops/conferences and, lastly, it could be some time of trip or connection with distant places that expands consciousness.
The Aries Point is more global in some way.

Hi Lynn :)
read your article with interest.
I was surprised however to find part of your article copied word-by-word exactly on
http://yourastrologysigns.blogspot.com/2009/05/great-uranus-jupiter-conjunction-2010.html
without any reference to you. If this is fine (after all imitation is the highest form of flattery) please ignore my comment and feel free to delete my post.
Thanks for this interesting and enlightening article:)

That was very kind of you to post my name on that blog. I can see it was just someone wanting to post information and this is fine with me. I find my articles everywhere on the internet and I enjoy seeing this.
I do always say that anyone can use my articles without my permission but I presume that they will include my name.
I want to eventually have all of my writings posted so that, when I come back in my next incarnation, I will easily find all that I have written as Lynn Koiner.
I feel that no one can actually steal my material because sharp readers like yourself will catch it quickly.
I am grateful that you took care of the problem and posted my name….Lynn
Feb 21, 07:20 PM 0 ARIES - WORLD POINT
0 Aries is the “World Point” so that an opportunity to be “out in the world/globally” may present itself.
Some actually work at an international level and others find themselves worlding at an International organization.
I am leaving in the morning for a conference in Massachusetts so I have no time for more discussion.
Apr 11, 08:01 AM
JUPITER-URANUS activating Cardinal T-Square in very early degrees of the signs:
I always feel that the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction has a positive effect on individual charts. In the 8th House, this marks a time of great personal transformation. It is only difficult if the individual refuses to make changes. It is expansive.
Early degree Cardinal afflictions always denote crises and indecision when starting something new….“sitting on the fence” or a hesitency to take necessary action causes one to feel one is in a crisis. It takes such a crisis to get them moving into the new.
So, the J-U alignment is always positive but it will be stressful due to the individual’s innate procrastination that on a crisis to get moving.
Cardinal signs need to develop a sense of organization and to set priorities.
May 7, 08:29 AM
JULIAN: Like the Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron alingment, I may not know until 2011 (when I look back) to see what happened. With Neptune, I was inspired psychically to a new direction for my astrological career (Global Gatherings giving free lectures online when I travel to Europe in November).
I cannot find the magazine now but, in January 2008, there was an excellent article in Dell Horoscope that researched the Saturn-Uranus opposition. It is actually a rare alignment and, when it does occur, it occurs in Virgo-Pisces, with the exception being Aries-Libra.
With the opposition occurs in Aries-Libra, it is expansive. Only the Virgo-Pisces alignment is contracting. The Aries-Libra alignment in 2010 can also be inflationary.
At the March 2010 NCGR conference, the financial astrologers all felt that May 2011 would be the lowest point in the market. Investors need to be safe through this period, afterwhich, the market will slowly improve.
STEVE: Sorry, Steve, the Aries Point is not famous but it can boost recognition and even augment fame, if this is the direction that you are heading.
During past Jupiter-Uranus alignments, I did get a booster rocket attached to my endeavors. Thus, 2010 is a good timing year for ambitions.
It does portend something international or global. Interestingly, I am starting my Global Gatherings in November.
One woman is getting a job in international telecommunications…it all depends upon the natal-transit-progrssed happening in the chart.
May 23, 10:47 AM
DARON: The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction occurs from 28 Pisces thrugh 0 Aries in 2010. Unless you have a planet that would be aspected at this time, the Conjunction influence will be delayed — possibly until 2011 when it crosses your Moon, indicating a new beginning cycle.
For everyone, the Conjunction influences the House in which it occurs and it is not truly activated until Uranus aspects a natal planet.
For many, Saturn in Libra will also be an activator and it is essential, before any positive change can occur, that all work with coordinating your efforts effectively with others.
If you are not organized and cooperative, others can get in your way.
TINA: Read what I wrote about the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in the 12th House.
Changes will be internal and changes can occur by traveling to a distant place where people do not know the OLD YOU — so that you can better change.
Uranus aspects early degree planets indicating that you will begin something totally new and you need to once again teach yourself about the new responsibilities.
May 31, 01:02 PM
Hi Lynn and others posting and reading,
The Uranus/Jupiter conjunction occurs in my chart in my 10th house, however, my 11th house begins at 2’10” Aries. My natal Uranus is at 4’54” Virgo in my fourth house, natal Sun is at 19’06” Scorpio in the sixth house, natal moon is at 19’59” Taurus in the twelfth house, natal Vertex is at 15’18” Scorpio in my sixth house. Gemini rising at 25’19”. What would be the best way to interpret the conjunction in this position?
Jun 2, 09:29 AM
HEATHER: This is a good question. I would read the Conjunction in the 10th House but, in 2011, you will feel the energies shift into groups, associations and people with whom you share a common vision, collectives.
None of the planets that you list have anything to do with this Conjunction since they will not be aspected by transiting Uranus.
The strongst trigger will occur when Uranus aspects a natal planet. For everyone, it will at least cross Eris (see my article on this website) within the next couple of years.
This will portend a collective event.
However, the energies will always start in 2010 with the conjunction.
Jun 13, 07:14 PM
Dear Lynn,
I really enjoy reading your insightful readings.
I am a Pisces, born Mar 6 1984, (libra rising, moon in taurus)
I am at a point in my life where I am questioning everything that is around me, including whether if I am in the right vocation.
I am currently looking for work so that I can pay for school and I just can’t get hired. I thought the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Aries was going to bring me many oppertunities in money making, however it didn’t;all i’ve gotten are rejections. Jupiter and Uranus conjunted in my 6th house(pisces and aries are equally in my 6th house). Also, even though it’s supposed to be lucky year for pisceans with Jupiter in Pisces, I haven’t had any improved luck.
Is there any hope for me?
Jun 14, 06:04 AM
P: This is actually a good question because it is important to note that this Conjunction does not grant all wishes.
The Conjunction lasts all year but it does not really kick in until Uranus aspects a natal planet.
The Conjunction will not just give you a job. It may help create a new direction in terms of work. You may need to be open to different possibilities.
This economy is very bad for many people so getting a job will not be easy until new tactics are used.
Jun 19, 06:48 AM
SONIA – First, I have been traveling every year to Praha since the Velvet Revolution. I used to stay with my “Czech Brother,” Pavel Turnovsky, but now I stay with my other Czech Family, Zdenek Bohuslav. I will be in Praha in the middle of November this year. Please get in touch with Zdenek or Jindra Johanisova so that we can meet for coffee and a chat.
The J-U Conjunction will occur or be in effect from its first conjunction now through its final conjunction in January 2011. If it is aspecting a planet in late degrees of a sign, then it portends a great ENDING CYCLE, a time to shut the door to some aspect of the past and move forward into a new direction. The new direction is determined by the next planet that Uranus aspects in your chart. This may not occur until 2011 for many.
If the Conjunction is aspecting a planet in early degrees, then it portends something totally new coming into your life. This could be stressful simply because it is so new to you.
Because Uranus is in 0 Aries for such a short time, most people with planets here will not feel its effect strongly until 2011.
Right now, I feel that so many new plans are unfolding but I am sure that most will not occur until 2011, since my Jupiter is a 1 degree Libra.
In Europe in November 2010, I will be broadcasting Global Gatherings whereby I will interview astrologers and healers in Europe, broadcast them on the internet and then post them on my website. This will all be for free to everyone.
In Praha, I will interview Zdenek.
The Conjunction is trining my Venus at 29 degrees. Indeed, I do feel that some part of my life is ending but it is only because I am growing into a new direction. Endings are really good. We do not want to stay in high school forever…it is time to move on to college.
Aug 6, 08:53 AM
LORI: I am not sure I can answer this without looking at the entire chart but Mars at 29 degrees marks an Ending Cycle. This is not an unpleasant event.
Ending Mars people often prefer to get things started for others and then let others take over for the long haul.
Jupiter-Uranus is trine my 29 degree Cancer Venus. I am seeing so much of my old life ending and a new one beginning. The beginning does not seem to be triggered until the autumn.
Aug 12, 10:30 PM
Hi Lynn, this is fantastic info, and you have a great site. I have natal Saturn at 28 degrees Pisces and obviously the conjunction will happen there in Sept. And on Sept. 10th Uranus is exactly sextiling my natal Moon. I was wondering if that aspect to my natal Moon might link the big June conjunction with September one?
Best Wishes,
Steve
Aug 18, 02:17 PM
The June conjunction will manifest again in the spring 2010 when Uranus returns to 0 Aries.
For those of us with planets in late degrees, the upcoming conjunctions will start in September.
Saturn at late degrees distrusts authority so a change or liberation could occur between September 2010 and January 2011.
Aug 28, 06:39 AM
Really good stuff as long as in my quest I have surfed the whole net and this is a most prominent article.
I feel most impacted by this conjunction, I have Sun at 29º Cancer in 9th house so the next Uranus/Jupiter conjunction will be trining my natal Sun from the 5th, and then I’ve got a natal stellium at first degrees Leo with Mercury, Venus and Saturn, so Uranus will be there for a while.
But by now little if nothing has happened, I don’t know exactly what to expect or when, as long as I am trying to figure it out and don’t know where to be pro-active exactly, I suppose this conjunction should materialize and don’t be only “mental”, perhaps it has been delayed by the Cardinal Climax in summer.
I quote your words: “For those of us with planets in late degrees, the upcoming conjunctions will start in September”. Hope so, thanks.
Aug 28, 08:20 AM
HENRY: As I have said in the earlier posts (maybe too many to read…need to delete), the Conjunction in the late degrees really has not manifested — look to September through January (2011).
It was activated for my dad in June-July when Uranus was at 0 Aries trine his Sun — he was the subject of a documentary, a film that has now gone international (Corner Plot). More may happen when it hits 0 Aries again in March 2011.
The Houses in your chart look more exciting (5-9) as they help expand the personality in a dramatic and creative way, often through a conference or seminar.
Sep 4, 06:14 PM
Lynn,
My birth was 9/19/1961 at 9:06 PM, Ft. Myers FL. My Sun is at 27 degrees Virgo which means that from Sept to Jan the Great Conjunction will be opposing my natal sun. The Conjunction occurs in my 11th House. Can I expect this to be this to be a more negative experience because it is an opposition? It will also be trining natal Jupiter (also retrograde). Natal Jupiter is the ending planet of a stellium (Saturn,Moon, Jupiter) in Capricorn which is trine natal Sun. I am too much an amateur to be able to anticipate much except that something is going to happen. The past few years of my life have been filled with chaos, loss & isolation so I am hoping the turning point for change is near. Thanks.

CATHERINE: First, thank you for the insightful private post. And, your comments about Vampires gave me some new insights.
Second, Catherine, because I receive 1500 hits each day, I cannot give personal readings but I do answer questions that pertain to the articles.
The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is strongest for those with late degree planets, such as yourself, from September 2010 through early March 2011…when it leaves Pisces for Aries.
At 26 Virgo 52, your Sun will be aspected exactly in November-December 2010.
What may interest my readers is that the Conjunction opposes your Sun – but this is never a bad aspect. When there is an aspect to late degree planets, it always marks an Ending Cycle but endings, especially the Virgo traits of menial tasks and service (servitude) to others, is an important growth aspect.
The 5th House rules Creative Self-Expression — cultivated by new goals and new relationships (11th House).
You have most of your planets in late degrees so ending cycles are very clear but beginnings are not so clear as the only Beginning Planet is Chiron.
Here is the interpretation of Beginning Chiron (3 degrees in Pisces) from my Manual….
BEGINNING CHIRON: The lesson here is to learn to go with one’s intuition and to follow your heart in approaching new situations.
I always say that Chiron represents all of us “aliens” on the planet – those of us who feel a stranger in a strange land who should have gone to Arcturus, not to this place! With a Beginning Chiron, these people need to learn to be the first ones to stand up and admit their alienness. “Aliens” are aware that we are evolving godlings on this planet, not truly of the earth. Yes, you can feel comfortable on this planet, as I do, but you sense that you are “in the world but not of it.” This can make them feel uncomfortable with being different, with this awareness of who they really are.
With the Beginning Chiron, I use the analogy of an auditorium filled with people. Then, someone says, “OK, will the real Aliens please stand up.” People will look around at each other, looking to see who will stand up first…it is the Beginning Chiron who needs to be the first to stand up and be counted. They are always alone at first until, finally, others begin to stand up, admitting that they too are the godlings, not earthlings.
Remember, Chiron represents where we need to give to others what we need for ourselves. I know two friends with a Beginning Chiron in the 4th House. In their own way, they have always felt different and not like their family. One is a man who will take in anyone who needs to feel that they belong. Cousins, nephews and friends have stayed at his house when they were having problems with their families. Another does not take people in but she always makes an effort to make people feel welcome, that they belong, when they come into her home or her office.

Thank you for time. I had written & you answered..“LORI: I am not sure I can answer this without looking at the entire chart but Mars at 29 degrees marks an Ending Cycle. This is not an unpleasant event. “
My birth info is June 6 1958 3:18 a.m. in Grants Pass Oregon.
I am kind of riding along without an idea of where to direct efforts. I realize Mercury is retro right now so maybe I should of waited to write!! lol
Thanks Again, Lori

Dear Lynn
I stumbled on your www and find it fascinating. I have used astrology and its symbolism all my life to help self and others. My astrology is Aquarius Sun at 2, Aries Rising at 24, Moon in Pisces at 23 opposite Virgo Saturn at 18. The Jupiter Uranus conjunction falls in my natal 12 house on Progressed Sun at 2 Aries, progressed Mercury at 29 Pisces and progressed MC at 28 Pisces (Born January 22 1950 at 12.45 pm in Buenos Aires).
Would it be possible for you to give more information on 12th house and this emphasis on the progressed planets? I am feeling all at sea (!) Saturn currently transiting 6th house trine Sun and conjunct Mars/South Node at 8/9 Libra. Many health issues and I am feeling very fragile and rather wobbly. A strange state to find myself in at the age of 60!
Would value any feedback that would also contribute to the further understanding of self and others on this theme.
Many thanks
Isabella

ISABELLA: I cannot say too much more about the 12th House, although it is stronger for distant places or places where people do not know you. So, it can be good for travel.
However, the feeling lost probably comes from the progressed Mercury at 29 Pisces — it is a the “end of one’s rope” degree (29 degrees), like a boil getting ready to pop and then the release occurs as the progressed Mercury enters Aries, a more dynamic and outspoken sign.
This will eventually improve more as the P MC enters Aries. Look to the progressed and natal position of Mars for the new direction in your life.

Hi Lynn
my sun is pisces 29 degrees and my ascendant is sag and my moon is sag also ( dob 20 march 1971 at 1.55am London UK)
How does this uranus jupiter conjunction affect me?
NB – Love your site. xx

Hi Lynn,
Thankyou so much for your insight on this subject and astrology in general. I love that there is so much to discover, forever learning. I’m wondering if you’d be able to shed some light on the effect this will have in my chart…
I have Jupiter and Uranus natally conjunct in Sag 11th house(born 1983) which is trine (7-9 degree orb) this current J-U conjunction occurring in my 3rd house. Also i just noticed that they are currently square my late Sag Neptune!
I understand the fact that it’s transitting through my 3rd house means that there will be a transformation in ways of thinking and new ideas etc, but i’m having trouble finding information about what this means in relation to my natal placements.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

SARA and ERIKA: Any transit over planets in the late degrees denote a letting go or ending cycle in your life…but letting go for something new, to move into a new location, a new job or a new environment.
When one is born at the time of a natal conjunction, there is a powerful resonnance that will trigger you into action for change.
Transformation in thinking can involve letting go of control issues because they have become to confining.
Look to the natal House position of Uranus to get a little more insight into the nature of the changes.
Sep 20, 10:47 PM
My son has natal saturn 27degrees 12 in pisces or 29 degrees + in pisces by progression. Looks like his 9th house cusp 10th. Natally it’s in his 11th and by progression 9th.?
He is struggling one last time to make his mytradesdirect.com take off but if not then plans to chuck it by months end. I feel he may be in for a big change of some kind like his pisces father passing. Could you comment on that 29th degree in this case. He is tauras, gemini rising. Aries moon. Is hard worker with full 12th house. Mercury, mars, sun and NN. tnks.

HI! Sunday Sept. 19 the Sun in Virgo (27 degrees) oppossed the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction (28 Pisces).
My Saturn is in Virgo (27,16 degrees, near the end of 1st house), and Sunday morning I came up with a business idea which is huge (Jupiter), innovative, hi-tech, people-orientated (Uranus), creative (Sun).
So I have to ask you, is it necessarily a BAD idea (since it involves my Saturn?). Should i invest in it, or I’ll end up in jail(lol)?
Another thing that worries my is that transiting Neptune inconjuncts my Saturn, and also, the Jup-Uranus conj. loosely squares my natal Neptune (sag. 19,54 degrees, 4th house)
I am a Virgo, Virgo rising, 1st house virgo stellium (Sun-Mercury-Jupiter-Saturn), my Midheaven is in Gemini, my Uranus in Scorpio in the 3rd, my Venus in the 11th.
Saturn forms no hard aspects natally.
The Jup-Uranus conj. falls in the end of my 7th house, some 6 degrees away from the cusp of my 8th. It also loosely trines my MH (7 degrees orb)
Your help would really mean a lot right now. I hope you didn’t find my post too tiring. Thank you!

CHARL: 29 degrees is an Ending degree, a time when we finish up something and move on. This could be a task or a project or a scholastic endeavor. This effect will continue through Spring 2011.
When it is about an unpleasant situation, then it is time to let go and move on.
The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is always expansive and beneficial for us.
I am a 12th House person myself and we are always late bloomers in life.
The Ending Saturn eventually does better being their own boss or working independently from an employer. They completely distrust authority.
LILY & CHARL: The only way to answer these specific questions — the success of an idea or the success of a project — is to have a horary chart calculated. This is a chart for the date-time-place that you ask a question. This chart operates independently from your natal — it has nothing to do with the natal chart. But, it answers a specific question.
I do this for my regular clients only. For this type of reading, I recommend Judy at silvercharm49@yahoo.com
Judy lives in Baltimore and does this by telephone. There are many excellent horary astrologers – Gil Navarro is another — but Judy only charges $40…so it is a bargain.

Great Article Lots of great information. I was searching for
info on this great conjunction because of my chart. I pulled my diurnal chart this morning and had my dirunal mc at 28 degrees pisces and this big conjunction , moon, jupiter , uranus all at 28 degrees . then pulled my progresed chart and to my surprise my progressed mc was at the same degree 28 degrees pisces. I have this conjunction in my natal 11th house so just curious as to what to expect with my progressed mc at this degree.

Dear Lynn
This is the first time I have visited your site and reading through the comments was quite fascinating especially when I came across your reference to Dzenek and Jindra in Prague. AFter the restrictions for Czech people to travel were lifted they came to an Astrological conference in London and stayed with me. I also went to Prague to visit them and stayed with Dzenek’s family (mother). I remember Dzenek mentioning you after he had been in the US but I did not know you. When you next visit Prague please give me best regards to them b9oth. Jindra and I communicated birthdays and Christmas for many years and when I saw her mentioned I was so pleased she is still with us – a lovely Piscean! We had some wonderful exchanges and I do miss it. I could write reams about the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction and how it brought people back into my life from a 3/9 house perspective – perhaps this will trigger another one!

Hi!
My twins were born on june 11 th. 2010.
Uranus and jupiter conjuncts in their 1. house. Is it good or bad?
Oct 10, 10:18 AM
Hi Lynn. Great read. I am a musician/composer/technologist, born in Burbank, CA, 1/10/1953 at 9:18 pm. I have been an amatuer astrologer for many years. 0 degrees Aries is in my 7th house.
1969 – I started college, was signed to a record label, had a hit record, and began my serious study of astrology.
during the years that followed, I got married, started a family, went to grad school at a Theological Seminary…
dropped out of the music biz…
1983. dropped out of Theological Cemetary (LOL) and started playing music again on a semi pro level. Began a long run as a computer programmer.
1997 Moved from California to Texas, rose to the top technology officer in a large corporation.
In 2004 I paid off all remaining debt, started a recording studio, and went back to music full time///
This year, that pursuit has brought unprecedented success, and in fact, wholly unexpected…
Uranus and Jupiter are extremely strong in my chart, Jupiter being the most elevated planet sitting exactly on the cusp of the 9th house (placidian system) and Uranus on the opposition end of a t square with the Sun in the 5th opposed, and a Nep/Sat conjunction in the 2nd in Libra. Because of this, the effects of this in my life are exaggerated, to say the least.
Your timetable explains so much about what has happened to me.
Thank you.

Hi Lynn,
I came across this article looking for guidance for my husband, who is going through his Uranus opposition/midlife crisis. He has natal Uranus opposition Sun/Chiron and so it’s a doozy. He’s having all sorts of doubts about where he’s been, where he’s going, lack of drive, fear of change; we left the country for the year and I’m not sure if that’s made it harder. The Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in January is smack across his 27 Virgo natal Uranus and right next to his 28 Pisces natal Sun and 29 Pisces natal Chiron (Sun/Chiron 11th house, although I don’t buy the house allocation as he’s such a 10th house guy). What does that add to the mix, and what can he expect in January, when the Uranus opposition finally makes its third pass?
Thanks,
Violet

Thank you for a fascinating article. I came here after searching for career and life guidance, both are utterly stymied right now. My 10th house south node is 26 Pisces and I assume this conjunction is significant in what I’m currently going through.
Nov 2, 09:11 AM
GILLY: There should not be anything confusing. Just read the interpretation of the Conjunction in the 10th House.
Of course, much depends on the Outer Planet transits in your chart and Progressions as to how it will all manifest for you.
Do not worry about the Node. The influence of this Conjunction in Pisces lasts until Uranus enters Aries in March 2011.
From my lecture notes on the Nodes:
South Node Pisces/North Node Virgo:
If the individual stays in Virgo, one can get so caught up in the details that one loses sight of the whole. Facts and details become more important than intangibles. One must make that heroic journey to learn about chaos, to understand that there is order in chaos and learn the value of intuition, not facts, in making decisions in chaotic situations.
NOTE: I will be in Europe until December 1 2010. I will be broadcasting my Global Gatherings. You will receive these if you are on my Astro-Column e-list but the links will be posted on Facebook as well.

Thanks for this article—I’m trying not to live in constant fear, with everything threatening to transform right out from under me.
You mentioned that if one is fighting the change, it is painful. But if the inverse is true, I’m baffled by why it is still so painful for me—and what I can do to accept or experience it more positively. The conjunction has been messing with me for what seems like forever, coming out of a Saturn return in the second opposite that Uranus in Pisces, now conjunct Jupiter, but also my Pisces Moon in the eighth as well (not to mention the Nodes early in that polarity and a Virgo stellium that have already been activated). I’ve tried to go along with the program, and especially to work intensly on my abuse issues/taking my own power, but I find myself afraid of my own instincts now that “doing the right thing” seems to lead to more wounding.
I don’t know if this is because my natal Uranus, Jupiter, and Chiron are implicated (Uranus on IC opposite Chiron on MC, very wide square to Jupiter rising), but I just don’t know what more I can do to effect the kind of positive change and growth my family and I need. Maybe someone reading this will have greater insight, or maybe it will just be cathartic to write it out. Regardless, I really appreciate the opportunity the universe has given us all to make the great leap, even if it isn’t working so well for me right now, and that astute astrologers such as yourself are monitoring the cycles.

I just returned around midnight from a month in Europe. With Venus R during that time, my netbook did not work and now my desktop will not start up.
There must be a lot more going on in your chart than the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction. This aspect usually has a positive spin.
The Conjunction has been trining my 11th House Venus since the last hit in September and, of course, there will be another in early January 2011.
Late degrees of a sign marks an ending cycle and, indeed, several of my friends in Europe have experienced the pain of endings. But, these are endings so that one can expand.
With the Conjunction aspecting my Ending Planet, Venus, I have come to the realization that I need to end some of my travels as I have done them for the past 21 years. I need a different plan and this is both difficult and sad. On this trip, I saw many friends with serious health issues, friends who had recently lost a close friend or relative and several friends who have family members with serious health concerns. This was extremely sad for me.
So, I am only recently experiencing the Conjunction aspecting my natal planet. There is a sadness in the ending but this ending is for greater expansiveness in my life.

Currently have the jupiter/uranus conjunction right on my 25’pisces mercury, acting on my 29’pisces asc .Am sure my brain is going to explode with the paths its going walkabouts on.I have mars in gemini in my third natally..should i try writing a book or with my moon and midheaven in 29’sag teach or try and break into the science world?(been researching link between astrology wheel and dna strand)Would love to know whether this is a possibility or if what you said about 29’ points means end of my career before it starts.(well sort of’‘im alredy 51yrs)..Vickie

This a fabulously well written article from a fine astrologer.
I am sending this page as a link to my friends to help them understand this transit and how it effects them and the world around them.
Being not an offical astrologer, I have been charts manually for many years. It is so exciting to see so many fabulous astrologers and how they are changing the lives of others.
5 Star Page Lynn, great work! Bravo!

I have Uranus is Aries in the 7th House. I wanted to know. I have been single for 4 years now. Uranus in my 7th house now in 2011 means I will stay single for another seven years?
Thanks
Mar 16, 07:05 AM
DIANA: Thank you so much for your kind words.
ANGELIS: Uranus transiting your 7th House will not dictate whether or not you marry.
Uranus transiting the 7th will always bring changes, motivating you into action, due to relationships, interaction with and the causes of others.
When Uranus transited my 7th (it just moved into the 8th House), I too was concerned about my relationship but Bill and I are still together and nothing happened here.
What happened is that I was thrust into local politics to save the local farmers market, as my father was going to be affected by these changes.
Friends who also had Uranus transiting their 7th House helped me with town hall meetings and taking action to protest. We were successful and I won my battle — a battle that I only fought because of my father.

0’ Aries is the ‘world’ degree and the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction. The ‘alleged’ leaks to wikileaks about the diplomatic cables and etc occurred under this transit/world degree in April of 2010. The ‘Jasmine Revolution’ in Tunisia and the following changes in government Egypt et al are in part a result of these ‘alleged leaks’.
People have been predicting about scientific breakthroughs but I think the world did change in April 2010…in re this transit and the 0’Aries of Jupiter & Uranus…just an example I don’t see many people posting about.
