Cosmic events such as Mercury retrograde are often right in the centre of the cultural zeitgeist, but there are other transits that pack more of a punch, and one is right around the corner. Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus align in the sky on April 20 to 21 and they haven’t collided since May 1941.
Think of Jupiter as that figure you meet at the crossroads, offering mentorship and a lucky charm to help steer the course, or at least make us see life from a different angle. Many of my clients often ‘bump’ into Jupiter when they are ready to move to a new country, change careers or take up new hobbies that they surprisingly master very quickly.
Now, Uranus takes on a completely different vibe. In his mythical biography, he is the most rebellious god of them all in the pantheon of cosmic deities. He is the whistleblower personified, which could be an activist or simply anyone who challenges the usual status quo.
As you probably sense, the writing is on the wall for collective change and personal revolutions. Both planets will be entering the sign of Taurus, which is all about pleasure, material resources, and even our sense of self-worth. So, putting all of these puzzle pieces together, you can expect changes in your life if you harness this energy with some intention.
How can you take advantage of this cosmic wild card?
Count your lucky stars, literally. This is a great time to shift your mindset on what you consider to be 'luck'. Writer and cultural historian Zora Neale Hurston once said, "Some people could look at a mud puddle and see an ocean with ships." Simply by changing your perspective on the various facets of your life, you can actually see more, which in a way brings its own 'luck'. So, in the lead-up to this date, practice making a gratitude list so that you can sit and marvel at this thing we call 'Earth School'.
When we zoom out, the world opens up. So, in what way are you getting lost in the microcosm of your life? Where can you take off your 'blinders' so that you can see beyond your bubble of comfort? Jupiter and Uranus want to throw us a ball of opportunity, but we can't see it if we're constantly looking down at our feet. Therefore, do something spontaneous and shake up your usual routine, because it's there where the 'universe' can meet us halfway. This is especially true if we keep talking to our friends about how 'bored' we are with life, and that nothing seems to be exciting or new.
Now, you're probably wondering: who are the two luckiest signs under this transit? All of us have the opportunity to be blessed by the hands of fate. However, if you're an Aries or Libra Rising, you might just receive some extra goodies in your gift bag if you're doing your part that your 'destiny' requires. So, regardless of your sign, start pitching, work on that business idea that you've put off since forever, and sleep with your vision board under your pillow.
