In general when Jupiter and Uranus are arguing (square), unprofessional and undisciplined behavior will abound. Outer planet aspects affect us more as a community than as individuals. People will be attracted to ideas and beliefs that are at odds with the prevailing views of society. But, instead of the avant garde, we may become eccentric at best, or we may even encounter some dangerous cranks. Lets hope and pray that these cranks don't have any major political power in any country. With Neptune and Saturn already bringing lies and corruption through July (You can find out more about Saturn oppose Neptune in the resource box below), there may be some major warfare occur. Jupiter is generosity and expansion, and Uranus is the independent thinker. But, when these two guys get distorted in a square, Jupiter may just expand the unpredictable side of Uranus. Be very cautions investing or gambling, because this square may just push your luck too far. Whenever there is a Uranus aspect involved, you cannot be sure what is going to happen, so it is best to follow "Murphy's Law" at this time.

Jupiter and Uranus are slow outer planets. Jupiter takes approximately 12 years to orbit the Sun, and Uranus requires 84 years. So, aspects like this only occur every 7 to 9 years. The last time they were at a square was May 2000, and that aspect did not last long, only a few weeks. This time Jupiter and Uranus will Square three times as Jupiter passes the square, then turns retrograde and passes it again, then turns forward and passes it for a third time. Our first pass will be from January 9 to February 8, the Second from April 24 through May 25, and the third from September 29 through October 18.

Today I want to talk about the second pass of Jupiter Square Uranus. I will be back to discuss the third pass in September. Mars and Venus are going to get involved as the aspect is beginning. Planetary aspects are a lot like roller coasters. They are slow going up, but they come down quickly. So, as the Jupiter and Uranus square is getting started, Mars and Venus will pop in for a few days just to help complicate things. And, Jupiter is in retrograde now, so we are going back and taking a look at how things happened with the previous aspect back in January. So, basically issues that began for us back in January will probably come back for us to deal with again during this square, and Mars and Venus will make it more personal this time. Usually aspects between the outer planets cause changes to us as a society, not as individuals, but not this time. At least not from April 25 through May 3. During these few days, there could be some sudden problems come up in our relationships, or we may be dealing with a bad accident. Take time and think before you act.

From May 3 through May 10, we should just be feeling the Jupiter and Uranus uphill climb, and this should motivate us to make some changes in our communities, corporations, and governments. These motivators may be negative, though. An example would be a terrible fire that motivates a community to put more funding in their fire and rescue department after the fact. Outer planets also affect us on a subconscious level. Independent Uranus in Spiritual Pisces fighting with optimistic Jupiter in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, may bring us to question our on spirituality or religion. We may find ourselves wanting something more than our present connection with our Higher Power.

Jupiter will be from 19 to 16 degrees in Sagittarius, and Uranus will be from 17 to 18 degrees in Pisces. Check your natal chart. If you have any inner planets (Sun through Mars) between 14 and 21 degrees in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, this aspect could be very difficult for you. Also check your houses, to see what area of your life this aspect will influence.
