FEATURE — Allow yourself to be liberated!

This week, Jupiter and Uranus will form a conjunction in Taurus, an alignment historically known to trigger major breakthroughs and unveil shocking surprises.

A conjunction is one of the most powerful aspects in astrology, as it represents a fusing of planetary energies and intensifies their associated characteristics. A Jupiter-Uranus conjunction happens only once every 14 years. But the last time a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction occurred in Taurus was over 80 years ago in June 1941, a time when world powers were shifting.

Major changes in technological or financial structures that trigger groundbreaking advancements have historically coincided with this conjunction.

Ruled by Venus, Taurus is a fixed Earth sign associated with beauty, possessions and indulging in flavor, fashion, fragrance, fine fabrics and frequency. Banking, agriculture, land, art and music are associated with this sign.

Uranus is associated with freedom, electricity and surprises, while Jupiter is known as the planet of philosophy, luck and abundance. So when these planets come together, this could literally mean surprise luck and epiphanies. In the sign of Taurus, this conjunction is about wielding intellectual thought into something tangible.

While this energetic influence extends for weeks on either side, it will be Saturday, April 20, at 8:27 p.m. MDT, when this conjunction will perfect at 21 degrees Taurus. Those with any planets in fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Aquarius or Scorpio) will feel this the most intensely, as well as the Jupiter-ruled signs of Pisces and Sagittarius.

Whatever in life has been holding you back, it’s time to invite change and allow yourself to hop a ride on this powerful cosmic tidal wave. It may not be the change you expect, but it will be a change that allows you to shift your trajectory in a meaningful way.

Also putting a spotlight on Taurean energy will be the sun, which moves into the sign on Friday, April 10, at 7:59 a.m. MDT, where it will stay for the next month. In Taurus, the sun is more methodical, persistent and sensual.

Taurus season asks us to consider our connection to Earth, and all of the materials it provides for nourishment, pleasure and beauty.

So what does all of this mean for you? Find out below.

Aries
March 21-April 19

This Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is happening in your second house of finances and values, which makes this a time when you should be more mindful of impulsive actions, dear Aries. You could be feeling overly optimistic about your personal resources and be prone to overspending. It would be wise to keep a careful eye on your bank account and be prepared for unexpected financial needs. Part of this is about considering what underlies a specific desire for a material possession. Do you really need it? Or is your desire coming from a scarcity mindset? On the other hand, this is also a time when you have great potential to grow something that pulls in money.

Taurus
April 20-May 20

This is a truly significant week for you, dear Taurus. Not only is the sun entering your sign for its monthlong transit, but the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is happening in your sign, which could manifest as a powerful urge to change how you express yourself. Transformation happens on a deeply personal level, and it could feel that all eyes are on you. Personal growth is highly aspected, and you could see major breakthroughs where it comes to releasing behavioral patterns inhibiting your forward momentum. You may decide to suddenly change your appearance or switch up your style. Circumstances could arise that push you to stand up for yourself. Be sure to take care of your physical body during this time.

Gemini
May 21–June 20

This could signal a type of spiritual awakening. Take time to be alone, in nature or places where you can ground yourself. Endings and culminations are possible, and it could be that you are on the brink of closing a chapter in your life to embark on a new journey.

Cancer
June 21–July 22

In your 11th house of friendships, technology and future, this rare conjunction puts a spotlight on how you connect with the world at large, dear Cancer. Expansion to your social circle is likely, especially if you make the effort to seek and join groups or associations with members of like-minded people. People you meet now could bring about an awakening in yourself, alleviating past feelings of alienation. But along with this is a need to be selective in choosing with whom you share your time. There’s a tendency now to wear yourself thin and overcommit yourself. Don’t forget about yourself, and don’t be afraid to march to the beat of your own drum.

Leo
July 23–August 22

Your career and reputation are being struck by this rare Jupiter-Uranus connection, dear Leo. Expect the unexpected now, and be sure to put your best self forward. Changes related to your career, such as downsizing, new employees, leadership or the work itself are likely, and unexpected challenges may arise as a result.

Some may decide to become self-employed or break away from an old stereotype.

Virgo
Aug. 23–Sept. 22

This Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is happening in your ninth house of philosophical beliefs, higher learning, long-distance travel and adventure, dear Virgo.

The opportunity to travel or study abroad could become a reality over the next few months. Because this conjunction forms a harmonious angle to your sign, beneficial opportunities abound.

Libra
Sept. 23–Oct. 22

This rare Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is happening in the deeply transformative eighth house that rules intimacy, shared resources and power, dear Libra. Some could receive a surprise inheritance or good news related to other people’s money, such as receiving a loan, tax return or scholarship. This also marks a good time to apply for financial aid, especially if you’ve been relying too much only your own personal resources to do something like start up a side hustle.

Scorpio
Oct. 23–Nov. 21

With this cosmic connection happening in your opposite sign, your relationship sector is being kissed by this unpredictable, fortuitous energy, dear Scorpio. This spells secret admirers, soul connections and possible breakups. Someone could pour their heart out to you, or you may feel inspired to pour your heart out to someone. Engagements are likely, as are divorces. Surprise news about someone close to you also is possible. This also indicates surprise turnarounds in current relationships. If you’ve been feeling stuck within a current bond, an epiphany could reveal a way to heal and finally move forward.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22–Dec. 21

Under this rare energetic connection of Jupiter and Uranus, your sector of health, work and daily routine are likely to be affected, dear Sagittarius, and because your ruling planet is involved, this means you are likely to feel its impact on a deep level. This aspect carries the energy of miraculous healing, or talking to the right person at the right time who helps you find the right practitioner for an ongoing health concern. For others, this could have to do with unexpected changes in your work environment. A circumstance could occur that causes a snap decision to quit a bad habit. What might seem like small changes are not. After all, the quality of a life comes down to the seconds of a day and how you choose to spend it.

Capricorn
Dec. 22–Jan. 19

A bountiful time for creativity awaits, dear Capricorn, as this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is happening in your fifth house of romance, pleasure, self-expression, children, sports and hobbies. Uranus has been pushing you to redefine how you express yourself. If it’s not filling your heart with joy, this is a time you may decide to walk away and do something else. This could see you trading one hobby for another or taking an entirely new approach with a project. You could receive unexpected news regarding a child. For some, this could be news of a pregnancy or giving birth.

Aquarius
Jan. 20–Feb. 18

Not only is this rare conjunction happening in an angular house but it also involves Uranus, your modern-day ruler, which makes this a significantly important time for you, dear Aquarius, especially since it falls in your sector of home and family. Unexpected news regarding the place you live or a family member is likely. You may decide to take a leap and put your house up for sale or make the decision to move in with someone new. Ultimately, this energy has to do with stability, and changes made now will be to shore up security. Because this energy also relates to your emotional world, it’s crucial to practice self-care during this time.

Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20

This rare conjunction is happening in your natal third house, dear Pisces, which could impact matters related to communication, transportation, perception and learning. Surprise news is highly indicated by this placement. You could realize now things in your life that have become too much of a distraction and decide to create a boundary, such as limiting your screen time.
