Jupiter/Uranus: The Revolutionary

Throughout the summer we've been experiencing an expansive and innovative grand trine in water signs. The basis is the on-going trine between Jupiter in Scorpio and Uranus in Pisces, an aspect of electric intensity. Jupiter/Uranus is adventurous, restless and deeply curious about the unknown, an aspect of explorers, scientists and metaphysicians of all types. The Jupiter/Uranus trine started last November (11/27/05), was exact again on 5/04/06 and finishes up at the end of August (8/29/06).

Starting this spring a series of planets have been moving through Cancer filling in the third point of the triangle. On May 7th the grand trine started off with a bang when Mars trined both planets on the same day. Between June 9th and 12th Mercury in Cancer triggered this grand trine and then it was the Sun's turn between June 30th and July 6th.

So we've been getting a lot of support for making some creative innovations in our lives, kicking out the cobwebs and seeking vital new ways of self expression. The status quo is not good enough for restless Jupiter/Uranus and people have been moving around like pawns on some cosmic chessboard, getting in position for the next phase of the game.

The final version of the grand trine comes into play toward the end of July when Venus in Cancer activates it from July 26th through the 30th. During this period many people will be finalizing the changes they've been contemplating since Jupiter/Uranus first came into play last November.

Still the last pass of the Jupiter/Uranus trine isn't until the end of August, so the Moon's monthly pass through Cancer will bring us mini versions of this grand trine. For the next month or two we'll be putting the finishing touches on our own personal revolutions.

from the I Ching
Hexagram 49: Revolution

...We must be satisfied with the attainable. If we should go too far and try to achieve too much, it would lead to unrest and misfortune. For the object of a great revolution is the attainment of clarified, secure conditions ensuring a general stabilization on the basis of what is possible at the moment.
