StarCycles with Georgia Stathis

I’m all eclipsed out this week. I am excited to tell you about this week’s ‘big deal’ cycle happening on April 20, 2024, on Saturday. It is a cycle that returns about every thirteen ½ years and involves Jupiter, which represents benefit and Uranus, which represents radical thinking. Like all the other planets and cycles, it has two sides. But first a little background on how it plays out. The last time it occurred was in 2010 at 00° Aries.

Uranus is an ‘out of the box’ planet that we couldn’t see until telescopes were discovered in the late 1700s. At the time of its discovery, revolutions rose up around the world – including both the French and the United States revolution. Historically, the Jupiter Uranus conjunction can bring an abundance of whatever it represents as well as an over-the-top expression of extremism. Jupiter is fortunate while being over-indulgent. Jupiter is lucky but that luck may only be luck and has nothing to do with responsibility which falls in Saturn’s vein. Jupiter can bring opportunities and with Uranus for new thought and new directions.

Uranus rules the sciences, mathematics, inventions, promethean thinking (thinking ahead of your time), the larger global community and working for global change that comes from the power of a value-centered group or network.

A couple of points. First, it is finishing up the cycle that began in 2010 in Aries, which, frankly, spurs more extreme expressions (a kind of last hurrah) before the new cycle begins. This coming week the 2010 cycle in Aries may explode with full expression before the next cycle next week.

Since I write these ideas ahead of time AND since we had that Total Solar Eclipse at 8 Aries just last week, much more may have happened regarding either violence or activism since I wrote these paragraphs in February. My hope is that if there are positive actions that bring positive change working for everyone.

Going forward, where will this next 13-to-14-year synodic cycle take place in your chart starting on April 20, 2024? Following is a brief thought for each of the signs of the zodiac.

• Aries: It takes place in your spending house (house 2) and can bring opportunities to work on commissions, or special projects, possibly coming from some distance away – You may also find yourself in a project that involves public information and either creates publications or lectures.
• Taurus: It takes place in your first house of your physical body. This means that it is important to stay fit physically, so that you avoid weight gain but, in the process, need to be careful that you do not get too extreme in either dietary or exercise habits. A tempered type of exercise also helps sleep patterns since Uranus is somewhat disruptive. Be prepared for an industry you’ve worked in to suddenly grow exponentially bringing new paths for that same industry. Be conscious, too, regarding any expanding waistlines and the effects it has on the body. A good practice is to make sure you do your annual physical.
• Gemini: Is your business suddenly experiencing such a spark of growth that your equipment, employees, or procedures need upgrading and training? Are you paying attention to the details? Or do you want to just change and move on to other things? To experience growth, your finances need extra attention and planning. You research other opportunities that add value to your current financial status. You’ve maintained a reputation for providing superior quality work – it is important to honor that now. Psychological health needs tending as does a careful exploration of your sleep patterns as the Jupiter/Uranus is in the 12th house of the unconscious mind. Learn something new and apply that wonderful mind of yours to creating new brain patterns.
• Cancer: Cancers nurture and require nurturing. With this conjunction taking place in the house of friends, community, and goals, you have a vast network of friends helping or asking you to offer ideas on how to change things up. This is particularly true if you are in a fundraising role or are required to do that as part of your job description. Streamlining systems and connections may require outside expertise. Those younger or with young ideas are available if you just ask around. Big, unexpected opportunities may come suddenly through former associates or colleagues.
• Leo: Get ready for Mr. Toad’s Wild ride in your career. There are all kinds of opportunities presented to you and using discretion and conducting careful research regarding ‘costs’ to you and the others is imperative. It is also time to deal with those things you’ve been putting off like – estate planning to help with future tax consequences. You may also find yourself in a position where your time is taken up by dealing with estate issues, or financial planning. How much do you spend, how much are you making and what do you need to change? This isn’t fun, but sure pays off starting in Spring 2025 when Saturn enters Aries.
• Virgo: Over the course of the last year, you’ve developed an excellent radar on whom to partner with as well as how not to partner with people that don’t meet your value standards. Your closest friends may be older than you. The Jupiter/Uranus conjunction takes place in your house of international affairs and interests. It is also the house of higher education as well as marketing and public relations as well as consulting work, for which you have a knack. A potential partnership with someone more mature may emerge as you move through this time. You may meet them while traveling or attending educational events. You are in such an adventurous spirit; you may choose to move far away for a very new experience.
• Libra: You may find yourself involved in some sort of planning program for a business partnership requiring some radical changes from the status quo with which you’ve become familiar. In addition, the push to partner with others that are in sync with your values. They push you just enough to embrace your god given intelligence and put it to good use. Trying new and different creative ideas in speculative ventures may seem radical and foreign to your ‘wait and see’ nature, but push through, find the information, and jump off a ‘calculated’ cliff. Speculation in both love and finances embrace you and the help needed to make the right decisions are also there if you just reach out while letting go of very rigid thinking that has helped you in the past, but which may now be hindering you.
• Scorpio: Fixing up a home or a property may have taken priorities over the last few weeks, but this is a good thing. Becoming comfortable with this sort of strategizing and budgeting process could be particularly important as Jupiter/Uranus conjoins in your seventh house of long-term partners. This is a cycle, remember, that lasts for about 13 to 14 years and can bring opportunities to you that can be either personal or professional, but you must pay attention. They may come because you need some sort of help, but that means dropping your usual protection shield to let others in. It is up to you. Maybe you need to partner with another to actualize a dream and if you do that, make sure you are clear about who does what and who provides what. And make sure the ‘other’ shares your same values. With that combination, you can’t help but snag more positive relationships that include fun as well as purpose.
• Sagittarius: Your ruler, Jupiter aligns with Uranus in your 6th house of details, details, and more details – something Sagittarians don’t always find exciting. Uranus rules your third house of communications, accounting, teaching, writing as well as short trips to accomplish a certain goal. You feel pulled in two different directions – relief when all the details are sorted and yet the details may seem daunting. This restlessness can affect your health and sleep patterns and it is very important that you take care of yourself while dealing with serving others (6th house).
  You are in the process of sorting, letting go, and releasing parts of your life that have held you in a certain place for a very long time. Letting go, in tiny baby steps, is betters than the normal vast sweeping changes often associated with Sagittarius. Throughout all this, please remember that communication is imperative here. Ask for help if needed. And don’t take on the world right now as you have much to do. You could be changing your industry or business or family structure or both. You may not see a clear path forward now but look for substantial change in spring 2025.
• Capricorn: After 16 + years of difficulties, challenges, along with the growing courage to make major changes, you are on the path to having your ideal life. Jupiter/Uranus falls in your fifth house of love, speculative ventures, hobbies, and creating babies – either babies of your body and/or babies of your mind. The old fear of survival (always a Capricorn issue) is at bay. If you just let go, even just a little, our creative juices bubble up. Taking old ideas, structures, and making them into something new increases your opportunity for bigger resources while keeping your mind active.
  The Jupiter/Uranus is in your 5th house of creativity, children of your mind and children of your body, and the unique qualities of that house emerge over the course of the next 13 to 14 years during this cycle. If you are creative enough, and allow others in to help you, amazing things can happen. How out of the box in your thinking are you willing to go? You probably need some help in getting others’ opinions to have a better handle on what to do in this upcoming cycle. A little strategic information takes you a long way.
• Aquarius: Whenever Jupiter and Uranus conjoin every 13 to 14 years, you are given opportunities for momentous changes in your life. Sometimes there are so many different opportunities coming at you with this configuration happening in your 1st house of the physical body and new identity, that it is difficult to sort through what is most relevant. Since this is just the beginning of this cycle, and it occurs in your fourth house of family, and real estate, and land, this is where all the changes are taking place. Do you want to buy property but approach it from a completely different way? Are you thinking of a ‘compound’ where dear friends or family members live nearby while you maintain your autonomy? Are you debating getting involved with a franchise with others (this is very Uranian)? Do you have all the ‘real’ money facts to make a sound decision? These are things to explore and be ready for spring 2025 for them to come to fruition.
• Pisces: Though you still have Saturn on your sign, requiring you to pare down the parts of your life that no longer interest you, know that this Jupiter/Uranus takes place in your 3rd house of learning, short trips, licensing, media involvement, vocational training, film, or screenplay work, and all in all, something new and challenging that can be fun as well as fulfilling. Your mind is bubbling with ideas and your energy is limited, at least for another year. It is time to ‘triage’ what is most important, get that done, then move on to the next thing on your list.
  This might mean learning to say NO more frequently particularly when everyone is calling for you to lend a sympathetic ear. You may not be in the place in which to do that right now because energy is limited. The key for increasing energy and positive thinking is to start watching what you are eating. Are you exercising? Meditating? Allowing yourself alone or me time to regroup?
  You instincts are good, and your intuition is right on the mark regarding very large projects or contracts. Follow those instincts and don’t allow yourself to be sucked into something that sounds good but doesn’t ‘feel’ right. Your intuition is your greatest asset – and listening to it gives you the answers you need to engage in any new idea. Watch the red flags as you maneuver through a forest of wonderful possibilities.

If you are curious to know more about the Jupiter/Uranus cycle, I created a 2-hour, 3-part video you can view for free as a fundraising vehicle for the Alexandria iBase Project.

AIP is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit educational foundation. This is a FREE global database and catalogue of astrological books, articles, pdfs and helps you locate these items by subject, author, title, and publisher in other libraries or collections as well as your own library. The collection is free, but we pay our librarians to keep the work going and this takes time and money. Please help us during our spring fundraising campaign by going to this link!
