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.
Jun 19, 05:47 PM
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.
Oct 1, 06:22 PM
Lynn –
My Sun is at zero degrees Aries in the ninth, and will be conjuncted by this Uranus/Jupiter conjunction.
I’ve always had the hardest time making sense of the Aries point from a purely personal perspective.
Can you help give me a handle on how to integrate my Aries Point Sun in the Ninth with Uranus and Jupiter conjuncting it next June?
Oct 4, 07:23 AM
Deborah – The Aries Point has global connections. Read what I wrote for the Conjunction in the 9th House. Look at the House placement of Uranus for where some of the changes will come. Integration cannot be done in my Q&A posts as this could require looking at your natal chart with full transits and progressions.
This is really how I taught myself astrology…by seeing how these transits worked in my life.
Dec 28, 02:51 PM
i think the community/sensitivity issues that karen was discussing earlier, and you felt were off-point, make perfect sense, at least to me Lynn. maybe that’s because this conj. is going to hit exactly on my eighth house pisces moon, and trine my cancer sun in the 11th, and trine natal scorpio uranus in the 4th.
i’ve already been feeling the pressure of these transits for what seems like forever. i’m kind of afraid of more upheaval; my life has always been chaotic and i just try to go with the flow anymore. the uranus/saturn opp. had been sitting on my saturn return and my virgo stellium in the 2nd for quite a while, so i feel pretty vulnerable and attacked by the universe, haha.
i’m trying to transmute the energies for creative good, as best i can. and i am enjoying the creative aspect of my life, even though it is crazy-making and out of my human control. (plus, i have the natal neptune sag. square in the 5th, and natal jupiter rising opp. all the aquarius line-up transits, with natal chiron right on my mc- maybe i’ll get some crazy healing powers or something! haha) i think anyone with similar alignments would relate to the deleted statements. it’s a hard path to have an 8th house pisces moon to begin with!
thanks for this article, i needed it!

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:)
Cheers, Raleigh
Jan 1, 07:58 AM
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.
Apr 15, 08:39 AM
Dear Lynn.
I’m fascinated by uranus! It’s now transiting in a direct opposition to my natal Jupiter (0 degrees libra – and my natal saturn is 3 degrees libra both 3rd house). In my solar return for this year, my asc is the same as my natal (natal asc 11 leo, solar return 14 leo) so I know this is a ‘key’ year for me (also my solar return moon is conjunct my sun) and in my solar return, uranus/jup are also in my 9th house as well as those planets transiting there natally… a double whammy. I have no idea what this year will bring but I have a feeling it wont be a year to forget – hopefully for the right reasons! I’m supposed to be getting married this year – and my partners asc is 15leo for this… so his solar return jup/uranus also fall into my 9th house… it seems there is a great deal of syncronicity going on right now! I will write more as and when events unfold.
Kind regards,
Vivienne.
Apr 20, 05:22 AM
Dear Lynn, I have sun in Pisces at 28º43’, which means that I have Uranus conjunct natal sun on Monday 26th April, and then Jupiter AND Uranus conjunct my sun on 19th September. I would appreciate any pointers you could give me, no matter how general, on what I am about to experience during the coming six months. Regards, Michael
Apr 20, 06:33 AM
Any strong aspect to the Sun changes your core identity. Uranus wants to liberate us from any negative qualities of our Sun sign — Pisces can tolerate the intolerable.
Look to the House position of your Sun and this is where the changes will occur. You can read this in the article.
Apr 26, 11:24 AM
Lynn,
I have a long time interest in astrology but this is the first time that I have heard of the importance of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. I am an Aquarius with Sag. ascendant. The dates of 1969, 1983 and 1997 are highly significant to me, having to do with relationships, awareness of betrayal and disturbing personality traits. I have not been able to make progress in my career or establish sound relationships for many years. I have natal Uranus in 8th house Cancer, Jupiter in 7th house Gemini, Moon and Pluto in 9th house Leo, and Saturn in 11th house Scorpio. I am currently putting great effort into writing romance novels and children’s books although I have yet to find a literary agent who is interested. Will this negative trend finally come to an end? Will the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction serve as a catalyst to help me relocate and assist me financially? Thanks for any insight you have to this and thank you for providing enlightenment regarding this conjunction and its affects.
Phyllis
Apr 28, 08:57 PM
My sun and Acscendent, both are in Aries. I want a change. I really am sick and tired of my life. Let us hope, this is a beginning of something new and exciting.
May 6, 01:02 AM
The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction (6/8/10) hits my true north node, exactly to the minute! 42 years ago, when they conjuncted my south node, I got into radio. This time, who knows where I might be headed but if the last one is any indication, this is what I will be famous for (Aries Point).
By the way, the T-Square will be eight minutes farther down the ‘road’ from the very same point. Wow!!
May 7, 07:55 AM
Thanks Lyn for a very informative article on the J-U conjunction. The new moon of June 26 2010 should be interesting as it adds to the cardinal squares with J and U.
Also late July 2010 brings Mars into the J-U equation. They should be interestind dates to observe.
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 13, 09:46 PM
i loved reading this post on jupiter/uranus! i have my nodes at 1 libra/aries (north/south) so this conjunction will be right smack on my south node. i have been researching this contact and i don’t find much- but what i do find is negative! natal uranus is in my 8th trine to my natal jupiter in the 5th. mars, the ruler of my south node, is right smack on my descendant, opposing my moon, sextiling my sun and trining my chiron. because of some of the more harmonious connections (trines, sextiles) could there be some positive sides to this conjunction on my south node? that would be nice! lol :p
thank you again for your insightful post :)

I personally do not have a special interpretation for the Nodes. Read what the Conjunction does in the 7th House and this will be the best interpretation. I have only found that planets aspecting the Nodes, good or bad apsects, simply highlights the effect of the aspecting planet.
I have not found any karmic or mystical interpretation that is often written about in books.
May 16, 12:59 PM
My natal chart has Jupiter Conjunction Uranus, with Jupiter in the 11th house at 5 degrees… hmmm…. astrology is a new hobby of mine, I’m wondering if June 8th, 2010 has extra significance for me? Note: I am also Capricorn Sun / Scorpio Moon (& Mars) / Libra Rising. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
May 16, 01:06 PM
If you were born under the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction,this is always an important alignment when it occurs every 14 years.
It is generally not activated until Uranus hits a natal planet. Exact dates are rarely significant….let us know what happens…but later in the year.
May 18, 11:28 PM
Lynn, Glad I found this site. Very interesting. You have a wealth of knowledge, I look forward to reading more. I have only been seriously looking at my charts since Feb of 2009. I am interested in what influences I may experiance with the Saturn/Uranus oposition as well as the Jupiter/Uranus Conjunction. I have Pluto at 1 Libra, Jup at 4 cap, Merc at 1 aries, Saturn at 00 gemini, ASC at 4 gemini.

I will begin attending an astrology class on June 18. I have learned so much already but NEED the focas a teacher can give. In the meantime if you see anything interesting I’d love to have a hint of direction to study until then. My mind had been taking me all over. Thats how I ended up here!
May 22, 08:41 AM
Dear Lynn,
My Sun is in Aires at 00 degrees and while I am not sure if it’s relevant, my Uranus is at 21 degrees Libra and Jupiter 05 degrees Aquarius.
As you mention above, we’d start to feel the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction early in 2009. I shifted my career at this point, taking things in a radical new direction – very much departing from the old and embracing the new. Many people were surprised at the changes I started to make, but I found things started dropping into place very quickly and progress was rapid.
I spent last year and the first few months of this year laying the foundations for my new career/direction – putting everything on the line to do so, risking it all! On the one hand progress has been rapid, on the other hand the challenges have been huge. I feel like a mountaineer who is scaling a vertical cliff face without a rope, hanging on in the hope that I can summon enough strength to get to the ledge above me, because if I fall I’m headed a very long way down and my awareness of the potential for failure is ever present. I feel tested to my outer limits.
The coming month is critical to the long-term success or failure of my new endeavor. Next week I hear if much needed funding is coming through and, if the funding comes in, early June is when key discussions that will shape the coming years will take place. On a personal level – the days around 8th June are some of the most critical in 2010.
Whatever the outcome of the coming events, on a personal level the impact will be monumental. In a universal context, it feels as if the pressure has been mounting between the old and the new for some time, the intensity getting greater day by day – the showdown between Uranus and Saturn resonating through every aspect of our existence.
Wishing one and all the best of luck in the coming weeks – may whatever happens be for the best!

Hi I’ve got 3 planets in Aries in the 8th natally sun 16 degrees,moon 4 degrees and retrograde mercury @ 24 degrees can anyone offer any insight.I am currently trying to get a new business of the ground but feel very oppressed and constricted finacially.Is this Jupiter/Uranus transit gonna give me the change the I know I need and desire.

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.

Lynn, Am I to look at the 12th house because it is Pisces natural house? My natal 12th starts at 11 Aries. I have struggled for months trying to understand my 12th natally as it seems to have a important influence for me. Alot of things are changing in my life or have over the last 2 or so years. though difficult, I know it has been for the better. I have a tendancy to second guess myself and get stuck trying to make decisions in advance. I know this but dont seem to pull myself out of my head soon enough. Kinda feels like I always waiting for something to open up, to become clear.
I am wanting VERY badly to get away for a week or so. I feel a deep need to have quiet and rest. However when I look at my schedule it looks like maybe the end of July I will have a week when there isnt something big happening with home or family. LOL I really hate schedules yet I REALLY want one to stick to :) 1st daughter graduates in june turn 18 in july :) 1 down 4 to go.
Thank you for taking the time to go through all thesse posts and share your knowledge,
Tina H.

If your 12th House begins at 11 Aries, then the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction will occur in your 11th House.
If it aspects a natal planet, it will be much stronger.
May 26, 06:21 AM
I have been having this horrible dreaded feeling that something is going to happen like the loss of someone close or maybe even me. So I thought I had better check my transits and this worried me even more. I have Sun 29’ Pisces, Moon 6’ Gemini and Ascendant 3’ Capricorn . I was born 3/20/ 53 1:46 am pacific
So it appears that at the same time as the Uranus , Jupiter transit conjuncts my Sun in 3rd house, I will also have Saturn opposing my Sun and Pluto conjunct my Ascendant and there is probably more that I don’t even know about.
Am I in danger? Should I be more careful than I usually am?

1983 – Born (Libra)
1997 – expelled from private school (oops)
June 8 2010 – (coincidentally) I have a one way plane ticket on this date to move from Alaska to Spain to be with a girl I fell in love with while on vacation dressed like a cat. I met her after visiting an ancient temple called Banteay Chhmar or (the cat temple) the name unknown to me prior to the visit.
I was inspired to travel dressed like a cat from a book written by Mrs Fifi GreyWhiskers, a cat, who claims cats can genetically pass on memory’s. One memory was that cats saved Thailand many many years ago. the book is entitled “Living with the Lama”
Great Site Lynn! just my hope my lil adventure story gives people smiles and maybe a little inspiration?
p.s I am allergic to cats Ha!!

I was born in 1969 on July 22 as men were heading home from the moon, so I have the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at 0 degrees Libra in my natal chart. This means that the upcoming conjunction is in my 10th house and exactly opposed my natal conjunction in my 4th house. I’m so excited to see what this cycle brings!
May 27, 01:33 PM
Hello Lynn,
My date of birth is 19th of April 1954. Aries indeed and need some words of comfort as I am trying to get my new venture off the ground. Looking back, 1969 I left home when I was 15 to live with relatives. In 1983 I was selected out of about 400 people to work in a newspaper. (Only 5 people where selected) I will never forget this moment. My life changed as i met my husband a few years later. In 1997 I left him and live on my own. This another 14 years period coming up 8th of June 2010. Just wonder. (I was born at about 1pm) so my mother told me. I hope I will hear some comments from you. I am absolutely fascinated.
Regards
orit

Dear Lynn,
I found your site while searching for this Uranus-Jupiter conjunction. I read through all the article and the posts and must say you are a facinating person!
I ‘m an amateur in learning about transits and effects on my life and in the lives of those I love .
I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight with all of us. I imagine you are well aware of the importance of being a good person to trascend this life .
My best wishes for you ,
Sonia,

This conjunction is really interesting to me. I’m only 34 but I have Cancer Sun 11 degrees and Virgo Rising at 3 degrees.
I have Jupiter in my natal 8th in Aries at 21 degrees and Uranus in my natal 3rd house at 28 degrees so is there any particular significance here? It looks like a homecoming of sorts. Been doing a lot of things behind the scenes with finances and have been busting my rear end at work for the last three years. My intuition tells me I’m on the cusp of something very big. Especially since my 8th and 10th houses are being affected here.
May 30, 10:42 AM
JONES: Since I am an astrologer and not a psychic, I have no clue what your chart looks like. But, I presume that this conjunction is occurring in your 7th House. This brings you into greater public attention.
My dad has this conjunction on his 7th cusp and a documentary on his life as a farmer is being shown in June at the American Film Institute. It trines his 3rd House Sun at 0 Sagittarius.
ORIT: It seems that there is a pattern of liberation with the Conjunction. Let us know what happens.
May 30, 11:37 AM
Hello Lynn and astrological friends reading this column,
The 1983 and 1997 conjuctions were milestones for me – in 1983 I started my university studies and in 1997 gave birth to my only child.
The June 2010 conjunction is in my 9th house – opposing Mars (3 Vir 51) – trining Venus (28 Can 59) and – trining Moon (5 Sag 21).
I’m really hoping this conjuction would help me with my love life as it has been almost non existent for the last five years.
Looking forward to any comments!

Conjunction occurring in 8th house (I’m cancer sun, virgo rising) but Jupiter is at 21 degrees so am I still affected? Also in my natal 2nd I have Pluto at 6 degrees, which also appears to be significant in this upcoming aspect. Uranus is in my natal 3rd. I was born with Jupiter conjunct Uranus (and Mars).
May 30, 12:57 PM
The Conjunction will triger events in your chart when the transiting Uranus aspects something in your chart…this would indicate the timing.
May 31, 02:16 AM
Im a virgo rising person 7º58’, with this conjunction happening right in the middle of my 7th house
My uranus (retrograde) in my 2nd house at 7º45’ of Scorpio.
So does this mean, most of my changes will come from my personal values, from my belongs and wealth and how i deal with them?
I got uncle Jupiter in conjunction with my MH… do i take this in consideration as…? (regarding this approaching aspect).
LOL
just reminded my Uranus trines Sun, and my Jupiter trines Moon. I guess ill be really affected, in a personal way.
I absolutely loved your article… i wish u keep enlightened… and also peace of heart, spirit and mind.
Thx 4 the attention.
May 31, 06:54 AM
PAULO: Just as I said in #39, the Conjunction occurring in your 7th House brings you into greater public attention.
My dad has this conjunction on his 7th cusp and a documentary on his life as a farmer is being shown in June at the American Film Institute. It trines his 3rd House Sun at 0 Sagittarius.
Having the favorable aspects to your Sun and Moon will prove very fortunate for you. Pay more attention to the House position of the Conjunction…with subtle influences from the House position of Uranus, finances.
May 31, 09:42 AM
SUSANNA: Jupiter-Uranus will trine your Venus this year (mine is also at 29 Cancer) so you will feel its effect this year.
Uranus will oppose your Mars at 2 Libra next year, denoting a new beginning, learning and doing something totally new — in 2011.
But it will not trine your Moon until 2012 and later trine the Sun. These are excellent aspects. When aspects occur in the series, it describes a continuing trend in the life.
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 2, 10:56 AM
Thanks, Lynn. I love your website. The articles are always timely and informative. The guidance is very much appreciated!
Jun 3, 03:56 AM
Hi there,Lynn!
You have a terrific site(and terrific in-sight!) I love reading all the myriad details of everyone’s natal charts;as distinctive as fingerprints…and I find myself visualizing how everyone acts/reacts/loves/gets/loses/grows,etc.,etc.! Anyway,hope the J-U conjunction will be GOOD to you,Lynn!
Jun 6, 11:16 AM
Uranus conj Jupiter conj Moon in my first house today. My venus is zero degrees of Leo so it’s a major trine…it is my one year marriage anniversary and my firstborn is 4 months old. I just started painting again and am producing some wonderful stuff. I also am solidifying my spiritual beliefs and expanding them in great ways recently.
Jun 6, 02:17 PM
One thing I read after the fact is that last minute unexpected luck can happen. I got turned down for a new place on the 30th. Struggling, looked at the paper again and phoned. This time I got befriended. Someone else didn’t show for a suite so I got it. Was able to give my notice just before mid night. My conj. happens in 11th. I will be close to my son and family and the next two conj. will happen on his saturn.
Jun 6, 11:12 PM
how do I know which house the conjunction is in for my personal chart?
i’m born oct. 16 1967 5:25 am at montreal quebec
thanks

AHAVE: First, you can have your chart calculcated for free at www.astro.com
I have calculcated your chart and it is an interesting situation. After years of rectifying charts in my early career, I find that people are usually born slightly earlier than the time on the birth cerificate. The doctor smacks you on the bottom and only then looks at the clock.
So, I feel that the first conjunction in Jun 2010 will occur exactly on your Moon in Aries at 0 degrees on the 7th House cusp. The last 2 conjunctions will occur in your 6th House….but, in 2011, Uranus will cross into your 7th House again for at least 7 years, bringing changes in your life through your interaction with others…others and their situations will galvanize you into action in some way.
Read both the 6th and 7th House interpretations.

I quite by accident, had a second practice today, first with the my whole new band. As if by chance, the person who was running the rehearsal place had a very good energy, and we soon hit it off and I mentioned that today (June 8th 2010) was quite a heavy day with a Uranus/ Jupiter conjunction at 0 in Aries, he told me he had a really good meeting earlier in the day that was important and it went very well. We talked about quite a number of things and where alot alike. Then, the band arrived. The rehearsal space had amps and PA sytems to rival a Arena situation. In walked a major league guitarist and drummer, that have both toured the world with major artists. Here’s me with years of practice and lots of experience live as a bass player, but little band experience playing my own songs and playing guitar and singing them, no less. Well, it went very very well. lets just say, it was pretty darn good, and it was overdue. What a day to launch. It was a seed that was planted in 1999, at a recording session, with regards to having contact with the guitarist, and the drummer that was a recent aquaintance. It all seemed to fall into place like it was waiting to happen. Kinda ironic. Cheers.
Jun 9, 02:18 AM
I’ve truly enjoyed reading about the jupiter uranus conjunction but I’m very new to astrology and this aspect confuses me. Lots going on lately at work and in my personal life (elderly mom) and I feel that there are going to be some major changes coming very soon in both areas. I just hope they are good. lol.

Hi, I am a leo, pisces rising. I know, its pretty scary for me. I am at the end of my Saturn return in Virgo. Even heavier, Saturn has been quite rough with me. Yesterday was even a rough day. I got into an altercation with someone at school. In the end it ended well for me. But I felt as though I was pushed to a place where I don’t like going. So much has happened to me in my life, one very big event where my personality went from aggressive to just plain passive. I took it as a lesson in aggression if you will. Learning to be more humble, and considerate of other people.
The thing is the capacity is still there. I had to show my leo. Now I feel like I am being pushed back into the aggression. Shoved into the forefront.
I was in tears. And it was a meaningless quarrel. The good part was that I got some major help on my assignment. As in pure luck, a complete stranger came in and basically assisted me so much I probably could not have completed the assignment without him.
There were definitely highlights, but all in all yesterday was just an insane day for me. If possible at all, could you provide me with any insight.

Dear Lynn,
thank you for publishing so much information about this conjunction. i find it very informative and insightful!
i have a unique situation… born 19Dec54, 3:09AM in NYC my natal uranus/jupiter conjunction (9-10th house) is now trine to the current uranus/jupiter conjunction (my 5-6th).
in ’69 i decided to work hard in school and get good grades – i felt i could find more friends in the ‘smarter’ classes. and i did! in ’83 i decided to move close to my parents, get married, and jumped to high-tech employer. in ’97 i decided to work for environmental causes, but in ’00 that job was lost due to discovery of a conspiracy at a gov. office and my wife left me to live with a women across the country. this year, my new wife became paralyzed as a result of a botched surgery.
i am amazed that the timeliness of these events match so many of those noted above! i wonder… no, i hope this cycle will turn these fortunes around!
Jun 13, 09:02 AM
ANDREA: Your ENDING PLANET is Saturn so I am presuming that the events in your life are indicative of a gret ending cycle, whereby some structures in your life come to an end.
Planets from 25-29 degrees are Ending Planets and, when triggered, end relationships or circumstances in our lives.
BILL: I love the Jupiter-Uranus conjunctions. They always bring important new changes in my life.
I thought more new breakthroughs would occur in Aries but Uranus does not stay in Aries for long, not really until the Spring 2011.
Many financial astrologers predicted that May through November will be difficult for the economy, with early May (last big drop) and July 31-August 1 being the next big drop.
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 17, 09:48 PM
How do I determine the effect this conjunction will have? Do I look at the Planet/Sign/House placements or the 45
degree Aspects?
Jun 18, 06:59 AM
Read what I said about the House position of the Conjunction. Remember, this conjunction occurs through early 2011. Then, look for the first aspect that Uranus makes to a natal planet for the timing. No, do not use 45 degree aspects. This is how I am making the interpretation in my readings.
Jun 19, 06:20 AM
Dear Lynn,
I am glad I found your page. I am glad so many Aries are now coming forward.
Today is actually the first of two dates when J/U are 00°S30. I have never paid any attention to the interpretation of declinations but this seems important enough for me to investigate, especially because U is making an exact opposite to my natal Mars, ruler of my Sun and Jupiter a square to my natal Uranus. Could you say something about the singnificance of it? Prague, 19th June
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.
Jul 27, 11:55 PM
Am I correct in assuming I can look at my relationship composite chart and read the J/U effects on the r’ship?
Jul 28, 07:07 AM
I have never done this but I cannot rule out the possibility of observing some results.
