And The Lining Was Suddenly Silver

Jupiter-Uranus Prayer #1

“Big radical ideas. Integrating faith with truth. Changing beliefs. Belief in freedom. Sudden journeys. Sudden strokes of luck.”

Aspects in Astrology: Sue Tompkins

These are some of the Key Word Combinations of the two Celestial Archetypes of Jupiter and Uranus: who will join each other around the Skyclock on April 20, directly adjacent to the Pleiades Constellation and in the Tropical Sign of Taurus.

These phrases are, for the most part, positive: this is the Great Benefic we are talking about here, blending itself with the first Outer Planet around the higher ideals of Truth, Expansion and Freedom that they both share. After what promises to be a geopolitically-defining Eclipse Season, one can scarcely think of a more positively-potent Planetary combination with which to launch us forward into the unknown.  

But it is not all good. Or, perhaps we can rephrase: there is no guarantees that we only see the bright side of Jupiter and Uranus. That’s where choice comes in.

My interpretation of these Astrological events is that we will experience extreme manifestations of both the Strength and Shadow. We have the power to orientate ourselves to the Archetypal Energy that we most desire. 

In the lead to April 20, I plan to do a series on what I am calling “Jupiter-Uranus Prayers”: creatively exploring both these Light and Dark manifestations, so that we can be as prepared as possible for any events that unfold. 

To start with, I wanted to channel as strongly as possible the Pure Jupiterian Spirit: the Hope, the Optimism, the Faith that the Lining will always be Silver. 

And when it comes to Uranus, such a silver lining can come suddenly: almost as if — just like Uranus, the first Outer Planet — it was actually there the whole time, before it chose to reveal itself.
