Jupiter Uranus mission complete!
April 3, 2011
Well, folks, that’s it. My fifteen-year obsession with Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions is over. Time to move on to “pastures new”.
It is my hope that this extensive archive of articles and research will be of interest and value to astrology students and researchers – and their teachers – both now and in years to come. After Easter 2011, I will be contacting various colleges and educational establishments to invite them to include a link to the archive as part of their on-line resources for astrology students wishing to observe, in both depth and width of scope, the symbolic link between the movement of this most dynamic duo of planets, and collective/individual life on Earth. The archive includes a study of the behaviour of those two planets over 2,500 years, and the fascinating correlation which I have found to exist on the macro scale between the movements of Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions and the unfolding of human history.
I had a faithful group of 10 volunteers from across the world who stayed with the project of reporting the symbolic impact of the 2010-11 Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions on all their lives. Their feedback is to be found in the “Tales from the Wild Ride” series in the archive, along with all their charts, data and names withheld for confidentiality. I am most grateful to them for their participation.
Perhaps it is apt to close on a personal note. What clues are there in my horoscope to this long-running Jupiter/Uranus obsession? Have a look – perhaps the bowl shape led by Uranus/10th, closed by Jupiter/3rd, is a clue? And the Asc/Desc falling on the Jupiter/Uranus midpoint, maybe?

Quite a number of readers have asked me about MY Jupiter/Uranus year 2010/11: what disruptions and changes have come into my life? I said I would not say anything about my own life until the end of the project.
Given the conjunction sextiling the MC/North Node, and squaring a natal Mars/Uranus conjunction in the 10th, the answer is – quite a few! Firstly, my husband and I have unexpectedly become grandparents, our granddaughter having been conceived during the week of the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Aries in early June 2010. There are various complexities of geography attached to this happy event…..
Secondly, I have embarked on a major shift of direction. As of now, I am winding up my existing blogs, which will remain on the Web as an archive of articles offering “….support, encouragement, inspiration and entertainment to open-minded people who, like me, are exhilarated and amazed by the beauty, mystery and complexity of the worlds we human beings inhabit - and for those writers and readers who share my preoccupation with questions of meaning, pattern and purpose….” I have said all I wish to say on those topics for the time being, including astrology.
HOWEVER – DO NOT GO AWAY, DEAR READERS !
I will be returning with a new blog in September 2011. The topic? Click HERE, and you will find out!
Thirdly – I am off to be a student again in the autumn of 2011, to do a two-year part-time MSc degree in Counselling Studies at a distinguished Scottish University. My aim is to update my counselling skills qualifications, and to use the compulsory research module to ground me in more formal and rigorous research methodology than I have employed to date. My aim then is to use the second year’s 15,000 word dissertation to sketch out the basis for my third book. And who knows what else may arise therefrom?
So there it is. Many thanks to all the many readers of this blog, especially those commenters and emailers whose generous encouragement has kept me going at times when I was flagging!
Do drop in on the other blog archives Writing from the Twelfth House, MoreBitsFallOff.com – and my on-line book Wisps from the Dazzling Darkness – a sceptic’s take on paranormal experience.

Main event in Finland is the comet-like rise of a populist extremely conservative/racist/homophobic party. A year ago they were a joke, now we are going to have parliamentary election in April and if the results of countless surveys are not completely off, they will get 20% of the vote. If our next prime minister is the leader of this party, I am going to emigrate.
Globally, the revolts in the Arab countries are a perfect expression of Jupiter/Uranus energies (helped along by Pluto). I couldn’t have come up with a better example even if I tried my outmost.
AND FINALLY….
vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?
Hopefully the new Jupiter/Uranus cycle will keep me on my chosen path and the repressed people of the world on the barricades.

Looking back at news from March 10 I found this quote from an article in the International Herald Tribune to be a significant reflection of how the Jupiter- Uranus transit is influencing daily life in the US.
CHICAGO — The bitter political standoff in Wisconsin over Gov. Scott Walker’s bid to sharply curtail collective bargaining for public-sector workers ended abruptly Wednesday night as Republican colleagues in the State Senate successfully maneuvered to adopt a bill doing just that.
It also reflects the polarized battle of the separating Saturn –Pluto square delivering polarized battles between class interests, and the approaching Uranus – Pluto square in 2012, promising volcanic eruptions world wide between governments and the people they serve – as already witnessed in the social unrest in the Middle East and the recent invasion into Libya.

Upheaval, students finally waking up and protesting, uprisings in the Arab world, earthquakes and tsunami.
AND FINALLY….
vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?
If this is a peak into the future, many will prefer the past.

It was a year of much environmental apocalypse which is still ongoing and developing. Volcanos and earthquakes. Seems very Jupiter/Uranus. There’s a whole new level of grief and fear and alarm in waking up in the mornings these days. A sense of my own evanescence and the possible/probable disappearance of much of the natural world.
AND FINALLY….
vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?
There are 6 planets in Aries in the first few days of April 2011, which with the current situation as of the Ides of March in Japan and politically here in the USA does not make me feel encouraged. Carl Rogers said that“The truth shall set you free, but first it will make you miserable”. The truth is coming out about many things as in the condition of superannuated nuclear reactors in this country and in Japan and elsewhere which can only make me miserable. The combination of nuclear reactors for profit and the trust in their self-responsibility is beyond insane.

Time and events worldwide seem to be speeding up with a new crisis almost daily. The 24-hours-a-day news media, social networks, and instant communications have all added to the feeling of unpredictability. Obviously the Aquarian Age is upon us. I think the Bible says something about when the sign of man appears in the heavens, you will know all things. Interestingly, Aquarius is the only sign depicted by a man.

11 March 2011, the day Uranus entered Aries, was the day of the Japan earthquake/ tsunami / nuclear disaster! Could it be more perfect astrologically speaking? The cardinal T-square of 2010-2011 happened with a lot of major events!!!
The Haiti and Chile earthquakes (January and February)
Eyjafjallajokull eruption and global disruption (April and May)
The Gulf of Mexico oil disaster (April and May)
The collapse of Greece economy (April and May)
The global scandal and disclosures of Wikileaks (July and November)
Earthquake, tsunami and volcanic eruption in Indonesia (October)
Major protests and revolts in Europe (October to December)
The collapse of Ireland economy, fears of a Euro collapse (November)
The attack of North Korea, threats of a nuclear war (November)
Wave of uprisings and civil war in Muslim countries (January to now)
The New Zealand earthquake (February)
The Japan earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster (March)
The collapse of Portugal economy (March)
Millions were affected by these events. It was a year of impressive change.
AND FINALLY….
vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?
As impressive as the change might have been in 2009 and 2010, the cardinal alignments will still continue through out the next years. This means that a lot of big change will continue!
In 2011, Uranus squares Pluto, and Jupiter opposes Saturn. Between 2012 and 2015, Uranus squares Pluto, for a long time. At this period, both transit the angles and planets of many western nations. In 2019, Jupiter,
Saturn and Pluto form a conjunction in Capricorn.
If we follow the pattern of dramatic change and revolts every 84 years that Uranus transit in Aries (1770s, 1840s, 1930s), then it becomes apparent that we are due to another period of dramatic events. What we are seeing, is just the beginning. Uranus in Aries marks in fact a new beginning.

Obviously the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan. We also had flooding here on the East Coast which, to me, speaks not only of Jupiter/Uranus, but Mars in Pisces.
AND FINALLY….
vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?
It’s important to remember that astrology is, among many things, the study of cycles. An event may not coincide with an actual transit or meeting of two planets at an important point, choosing to manifest instead with subsequent transits or Eclipses to that point. Realizing this and working with this time table — the upcoming transits to this point — can help you harness or at least work with the energy in achieving what you want in a way that channels the energy around you instead of working against it.

Any other comments by way of conclusion?
I think we can all agree that this was a surprising year for the world. We had major Earthquakes, Volcanos, Tsunamis, followed by major man made disasters such as the Oil Spill in the Gulf and the unthinkable Nuclear meltdown in Japan. Not to mention the middle east rebellions against government suppression. I think the universe is telling us it’s time to rethink our energy needs. If we hope to survive, we need to change things that aren’t working in that area. Uranus is Aries is a time to start new and I think the disasters that have befallen humanity this year, produced in many cases a surprise ending, so that a new and hopefully better beginning can emerge.

I think we all witnessed revolution at work, all across the globe. Most surprising was Obama’s return to favour in the polls. It’s almost Alice in Wonderland-like.
AND FINALLY….
vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?
War, earthquake, tsunami, ecological disaster, revolution enforced from without and within. I think Uranus shouls be happy with his partnership with Jupiter. One thing we didn’t consider enough as astrologers was the Pluto effect that lingered—Pluto affecting the cardinal point guaranteed that death was on Uranus’ heels. For me, personally, as well as globally. It was a bloody revolution and its toll was high.
