Exciting news! After a 14-year dance, lucky Jupiter will line up with unpredictable Uranus! Jupiter represents wealth, expansion and joy. Uranus is about sudden events. This union occurs at 21? Taurus; and Taurus is also a sign associated with wealth. (The plot thickens.) Looking good! (Actually, this dance is so powerful, it could trigger headlines.) One thing both planets share is they are both future-oriented. We will have opportunities to make a difference in the future. I think the key to handling an opportunity is to be prepared, open-minded and courageous because a leap into the unknown is often required. Then of course, the inevitable question arises – how does one dress for an opportunity?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The good news for you is that this lucky conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus takes place in your Money House. Ka-ching! This means you have a chance to get richer! And while that might be true, it might be colossal or it might be as modest as suddenly finding a $20 bill. (Which is still a lovely boost to anyone’s day. Let’s hope for a fifty.) Because this unexpected opportunity affects cash flow and earnings as well as purchases. You might suddenly buy something you adore. Or you might have a chance to buy something that you missed before. Or you might see a way to boost your earnings especially in the future. I think this week ahead holds much promise for you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Hold the phone! This fortunate dance of Jupiter lining up with Uranus takes place in your sign! You will be brave, optimistic and full of derring-do! You might also feel younger for some reason. You’re ready to take a chance, and open new doors! You might decide to dress differently. You might talk to people differently. You might reach out to someone and begin a new relationship. It could be anything. It’s as if you have a special magic wand that makes you feel adventurous, lucky and powerful. One aspect that is almost certain to occur is that it will enrich your future in some way. It will be an opportunity that leads to further opportunities. Please note that this window of opportunity will be brief so you will have to act fast!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a popular time for you. You’re enjoying the company of younger people, friends from the past as well as creative, artistic types. In fact, for some of you, a platonic relationship might become romantic. This spectacular meeting of lucky Jupiter and unpredictable Uranus takes place in a hidden part of your chart, which is an indication that the benefits you feel will be more private – more personal and possibly more spiritual. Your inner being will get a positive lift. You will feel more optimistic about your present day as well as what your future might hold. Psychologically, this will be a strong blessing for you! It’s the perfect introduction for lucky Jupiter entering your sign next month, for the first time in 12 years!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You look good to others. This is because both the Sun and fair Venus are at the top of your chart making you appear successful, charming and helpful. This is why someone might appeal to you for some kind of assistance or advice. Your desire to travel and learn more or expand your experience of the world is strong. The blessing of the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction is something that will expand your connections with others – with friends as well as groups and organizations. This might occur suddenly. Whatever happens will make you even more popular and will likely make you feel younger as well. You’ll feel more confident about entertaining some wild and crazy goals for the future that are quite ambitious. And why not?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This glorious meeting of Jupiter and Uranus is happening at the very top of your chart – something unusual. Somehow, it will boost your reputation in an unexpected way. You will be noticed. People might even think you are eccentric or unusual in some way. They will certainly see you as appealing, entertaining, successful and worldly. Because you project this attractive, rather unusual image, new opportunities might open for you that you had not expected. If so, very likely, these opportunities will have a narrow window of time, which means you have to act fast. You might even entertain a new life direction or a new career. So many exciting possibilities!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Surprising opportunities to travel or to do anything that will broaden your experience of the world, perhaps a chance to take courses or go back to school or study are just some exciting avenues that might open up for you at this time. Very likely, they will be unexpected. Likewise, sudden opportunities related to publishing, the media or something to do with medical or legal matters might also bring you a surprising benefit. A financial or practical advantage might come with this benefit, so keep your pockets open and be ready to say yes! Meanwhile, be patient with partners and close friends while fiery Mars is opposite your sign. This is small potatoes. (Fries, really.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This unusual conjunction of lucky Jupiter with unpredictable Uranus is taking place in one of your Money Houses, which is why you might have an unexpected boon or benefit or an inheritance. Someone might give you something. Someone might do you a favour that you did not expect. You might suddenly have the use of something that someone else owns. You might get money back from the government. Look for some kind of practical or financial favour that can come your way now or in the future because of a set of events that you set into action. Fortunately, you’re willing to work hard now and ready to make things happen!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are the only sign that has the unusual influence of having the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in your House of Marriage and Partnerships. Something unusual will definitely impact your closest relationships. A sudden commitment is possible. A swift marriage. Even a business partnership might be suddenly formed. Whatever the case, you definitely stand to benefit from these close relationships. This even includes your relationship with members of the general public. It’s interesting to know that whatever benefits you now also affects your future in a positive way. Good things are coming to you, especially with respect to your closest relationships. That’s nice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You will have marvellous opportunities to suddenly improve your job in some fashion either this week or very soon in the future. By the same token, you might easily improve your health now or in the future because of something unexpected that occurs that benefits you. Or you might suddenly find a better job, perhaps something that agrees with you more. Yet again, some of you might have a sudden opportunity to explore business related travel that is exciting. It’s the kind of travel that teaches you and even changes you. Meanwhile, this is a playful fun-loving month, so take time out for pleasure!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your focus is on home and family; furthermore, some of you are busy redecorating or make your home more attractive because family that you haven’t seen for a while might visit you. Nevertheless, you cannot ignore the influence of this fabulous conjunction of lucky Jupiter and unpredictable Uranus that is taking place in one of the most fun parts of your chart. Love at first sight might suddenly appear. New romance might materialize. A surprise related to children or the arts or something to do with sports might delight you. Whatever happens will be unexpected but thrilling and exciting. It might even be an unexpected chance for a vacation or a fun social outing. Get dressed!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a busy time for you, in part because your interest in neighbours, relatives and siblings is strong. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde will create delays in transportation, silly mistakes and goof ups with communications and problems in general but nothing you can’t handle. However, this special Jupiter/Uranus conjunction for your sign takes place in a part of your chart related to home and family and your private life. Your family might suddenly expand in some way through birth or marriage. You might suddenly entertain or do something a bit dazzling at home that involves others. You might buy modern art or something high tech for where you live. This sudden expansion and benefit might include real estate. You might even invent something! (You’re so innovative.) So many exciting possibilities!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are strong now, even assertive because Mars is in your sign giving you a sense of purpose and boosting your physical energy. Three planets are focused on money and earnings; however, this glorious conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus is taking place in the part of your chart that concerns your everyday activities. It also will affect your style of communicating with others – everyday contacts including siblings, relatives and neighbours. You will be bursting with brilliant, original ideas! People will be impressed with you and what you know and how you talk. Even you will be excited about learning new things and sharing your ideas. A fantastic time to write, act, sell, or teach.
