If you are a regular reader of this blog, you have probably noticed a significant shift in my content over the past year. I have opted to write less frequently, but make my blogs lengthier, and with a primary focus on astrological content mixed with shamanic concepts. Further, because I truly believe in and have experienced the predictive nature of astrology personally, I find it incredibly important to share information that may be helpful in raising an awareness of things that are forming on the horizon. Back in 2019 (and even earlier) there were many astrologers writing about the potential dramatic and transformative events that seemed to lurk in the shadows of 2020. A few even identified the potential of a pandemic. I was not one of them. I frankly was fearful of writing on such topics. You may have noticed I have changed my mind.
Recently I have written about several big-time astrological events that have occurred or ones that will take place in the near future. Here are a few of the timelier blogs I have written concerning those astrological alignments and one that is about a prophetic dream my daughter had:
https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/revolutionary-destiny https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/we-the-people https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/opposites-collide https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/inauguration-forebodings https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/the-broken-world-part-1 https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/the-broken-world-part-2 https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/trident-s-aggression
Another important astrological alignment is forming with the co-presence of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus. These two planets will reach a conjunction on April 20, 2024 at 21:49. Currently, Jupiter is at 15:33 and Uranus Rx is at 23:04. For the record, Jupiter and Uranus are both outer planets and gas giants. Jupiter is approximately 484 million miles from the Sun and Uranus is around 1.79 billion miles. In the astrological world Jupiter is characterized as expansive, optimistic, and abundant. On the flipside Jupiter has an influence that can be over-indulging and over everything. Uranus is associated with change, disruption, and revolution. It can also be analogous with healing, emancipation, and reform. In its broadest sense, the cyclical union of these two giants throughout history has pointed to periods of significant and miraculous developments and discoveries in science and technology, and also revelatory awakenings in the creative and philosophical realms. Bold ideas, social rebellion, and a generalized quest for more freedom often abound. The Jupiter Uranus cycle corresponds with new beginnings in many areas.
This new 14-year cycle will take place in the astrological sign of Taurus, a fixed earth sign. Before we dive into areas of emphasis for Taurus, let’s examine briefly the Sabian symbol for 21:49 Taurus for some clues concerning this upcoming epoch- A White Dove over Troubled Waters (a brief explanation of Sabian Symbols can be found in this blog: https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/a-new-continent).
This Symbol implies a talent for bringing calm, protection and good tidings to those who need help. Although there may be trouble all around, you are able to rise above this and find safe ground. You may have to cross over into the dark side in order to bring order and safety to people’s lives. Even though you, or someone else, may be lost from sight for a while and some may feel abandoned, they will return and bring guidance to safety and reassurance. You may need to send, or receive, a message to those who could be feeling left out and in need of reassurance.
The picture that emerges from this symbol is two-fold, extrapolating the concepts contained within these images or metaphors imparted clairvoyantly by Elsie Wheeler in 1925, we can superimpose them on the upcoming Jupiter Uranus conjunction and begin to see a potential overarching theme. Famously it was a dove that Noah released to determine if the flood waters had subsided. When it returned it had a freshly plucked olive leaf… itself being a symbol of cleansing and healing. So, part of the theme becomes the prospect of the troubled waters—but with a watcher of sorts (white dove) hovering over the situation, there as a messenger to those who have ears and eyes to see. Being above the waters, there is an ability to see things from a different perspective than those who are in the tumultuous seas of change.
This Sabian symbol also points to the need of recognizing that there could be a period where many of us are called upon to step into energies that are not especially warm and fuzzy in order to assist those who may be thrusting an arm or fist out of the maelstroms that are forming. You may even find yourself as one of those reaching out for something to calm your own troubled thoughts, seeking reassurance that there will be better days ahead—perhaps a metaphoric rainbow at some point. The presence of a dove in the poetic imagery painted by the Sabian symbol for 21:49 degrees of Taurus should be a harbinger of hope despite the unsettling prospect of a coming storm.
What can we make of this conjunction forming in the sign of Taurus? Big picture, Taurus is correlated to all things financial—banks, currencies, one’s earning capacity, profits, investments, loans, and our material possessions and security. It is also associated with farming, crops, and livestock. And yet another important correspondent topic of Taurus is all things beautiful. Music, art, sculpture, jewelry, architecture, actors, singers, dancers, and artists of all types find a home in sign of the bull.
Turning to what we might expect when both Jupiter and Uranus are adorned in Taurus clothing and acting together, we can begin to formulate an outline of the potential manifestations we as a collective might experience. What follows are a series of possibilities through the eyes of this astrologer:
· Big (Jupiter) changes (Uranus) to money, banking, and all things financial (Taurus). · Expansive (Jupiter) innovation and breakthroughs (Uranus) in all things art (Taurus). · Unusual and revolutionary (Uranus) beliefs and philosophies (Jupiter) about possessions of all kinds, (Taurus) or beauty (Taurus), or farming (Taurus). · Unexpected discoveries (Uranus)of holy objects or temples (Jupiter), that are beautiful and enduring (Taurus). · Inflation and rising interest rates (Jupiter) affecting the price of goods (Taurus) that creates rebellion and rioting (Uranus) demanding justice (Jupiter) and directed at the aristocracy. (Jupiter). · Beneficial (Jupiter) upheaval and reform (Uranus) of money and financial matters (Taurus) which could result in a different (Uranus) form of currency (Taurus) or an increase (Jupiter) in the wages one earns. (Taurus) · Amazing innovation (Uranus) in the process of harvesting (Jupiter) crops and in farming (Taurus) that brings great abundance (Jupiter). · Abnormalities and disruptions (Uranus) to farming, especially wheat, (Taurus) as well as cattle and pigs (Taurus) that foments an insurrection (Uranus) focused on justice and holding the guilty parties accountable (Jupiter). · Religious (Jupiter) schisms (Uranus) that lead to big (Jupiter) reforms (Uranus) designed to bring a more practical approach to age-old practices are likely. (Taurus) · What we value (Taurus) in terms of our possessions (Taurus) and what makes us secure (Taurus) will likely experience an upset (Uranus) that causes a shift in our culture’s (Taurus) philosophy (Jupiter) toward such matters.
In conclusion we cannot ignore the fact that as of the time this blog is being written, both Jupiter and Uranus are already in the sign of Taurus. They can see each other. Their alchemical properties are already commingling and have begun to conjure up indications of what lies ahead. To demonstrate a current day example of what is coming, I wish to draw your attention to a song that has gone viral over the past month…Rich Men North of Richmond. If you haven’t heard this song, I am including a link here: https://youtu.be/sqSA-SY5Hro?si=z2zJBwZBADkG5b1t . The singer (Taurus) is Oliver Anthony and he is a farmer (Taurus). The song deals with all things financial (Taurus), specifically it is a revolutionary (Uranus) lamentation concerning the inability of the common man to earn a decent wage due to being underpaid, inflation (Jupiter), and taxes. He rails against the aristocracy (Jupiter) and their corruption. He speaks bluntly (Jupiter) about the ills of capitalism (Jupiter) and some are calling it an anthem of revolution (Uranus). There is also a spiritual and religious (Jupiter) feel to not only the message but in the manner Oliver sings with his big and bold voice (Jupiter). Expect more of this in the days and years ahead, but also remember – there is a dove coming.
