Hello, everyone.
Today is the day of the final Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, an aspect which begins a new fourteen year cycle of originality, technological advances, and innovations in products, processes, and services. We experienced the first contact of this series in June in the sign of Aries, then again in retrograde motion in Pisces in September, and now in direct motion again in Pisces. Soon both planets will continue into Aries.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and opportunities, growth and optimism. Uranus is the planet of innovation, unexpected breakthroughs, and societal transformation. These two together are a powerhouse for business!

…what’s fun about this series of contacts is that Uranus expresses its energy in our lives in completely unpredictable ways. This coupled with Jupiter’s love of sport means the coming six months may feel like a merry-go-round spinning at top speed: you know the ditty, round and round and round we go and where we stop, nobody knows! Yes, that’s Jupiter/Uranus.
This is a time of big risks, big opportunities, massive creative juice, and the potential for just as big mistakes and failures. Especially early in the cycle, we are likely to begin one thing and another, throwing balls into the air to see where they land. Where will we end up next January, after the last of the conjunctions? In a new place for sure, but with Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, we won’t know until we get there. Are you ready for the ride?
So how was it for you? What balls did you throw in the air and where did they land?
And then at the retrograde contact in September I wrote:
Deep in the recesses of your mind, there is a new idea being born. Yes, it may bear a resemblance to something you thought was left behind for good. And while both planets are in retrograde motion, it may be hard to clearly distinguish the next step for your business innovation and that’s OK – it’s not time for a fully baked idea yet. But if you listen carefully, you may hear the stirrings of your next big move, even if it sounds familiar.
By now the boundaries have given way; we’ve experimented, we’ve tested, we’ve taken risks, we’ve tried things that worked and others that failed. The idea is ready and we’re right on track!
Looking back over the last six months, could you have foreseen what your plans are today? I know when I think back to last June I thought I would be writing a series on Leadership for each astrological sign. Now I intend to pursue my Master’s Degree in Archetypal Cosmology and Conscious Evolution and write an additional blog on the daily journey through astrology! Talk about completely unpredictable, I didn’t even have a glimmer of this last June.
How about you? What ideas and insights are ready for implementation? It’s time to trust your intuition now. If it’s not immediately apparent, scan your heart and mind. The seed has been planted for your business innovation, your trek into the next fourteen years. Now is the time to recognize what has begun. Can you identify it?
Please share in the comments your breakthrough if you can. It will be inspiring to hear what these two planets have brought to light.

Funny, now that I look back. Seems that the change I made last spring put me on the wrong track. Then, back into school, a whole new world is opening up. With the Health Reform Act, nurses are being encouraged to take on responsibility commensurate with their knowledge (finally), and I see a revolution in health care that directly impacts the scope of nursing – and I can still get in on the ground floor!! And, just as you point out, where we end up is anyone’s guess. Good luck in school. I hope you enjoy it.

Dear Ellen,
Enjoy your studies!! Sounds so exciting!!
For me, a breakthrough came as I taught a simple yoga class at the office today… I have pursuing my yoga teaching certification for a long while, but this is an awesome opportunity to work on my skills and, more importantly, confidence! Very cool. Quite a blessing. We will continue with a couple classes a week.
Further, I have been pretty directionless as far as long-term goals (and grad school plans) for some months… Very motivated, but aimless. As I was working on accepting my lack of direction for now, the insight I needed was delivered (just a few days ago)!! It came in the form of one of my roommate’s books from her college days, The State of Native America, which I have been reading. Although it will take some time to come to form, Native American studies seems such an exciting and challenging focus, as so many issues about which I care deeply are involved.
“Life unfolds beautifully if you let it” ~ My Nana Edie is so right!!
Ellen, I so hope to meet you one day! You are rad, my dear.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Tesa

Yes, Ruth, one aspect of the societal change ushered in by Uranus in Pisces has been the Health Reform Act and its impact on nursing: responsibility commensurate with knowledge, as you say. It’s about time! I’m so glad you’re in on the ground floor.

Tesa, I like how you say “motivated but directionless.” I was feeling exactly the same way. I’m so glad your way ahead finally came into focus. And your Nana Edie sounds like a wise woman. Happy New Year to you, too.

I met with my two co-instructors yesterday and lost sleep last night as my mind chomped on the big “what-ifs” for the capstone course we’re developing for the public health students this semester. It could be glorious–or a glorious failure. Next year could see an article on the curriculum with presentations at conferences–or a back-to-the-drawing-board scenario. At least we’re right in line with the heavens! Thanks, Ellen, as always, for your translation of the sky’s language.
And best wishes on your graduate studies! Where is this awesome program? Online? Residency? Sounds very fun and engaging.

So glad you’re finding value in the blog, Dennis. It means a lot to me. Love to you and Gitika. How are those twins?

Lynn, I’m so glad your work includes so much innovation. It always carries risk, doesn’t it, but would we have it any other way?
The graduate program is online with tri-annual sessions on campus in Connecticut – your neck of the woods. You, of course, are an inspiration to me to go for it!

Risk–yes, it’s true–wouldn’t have it any other way. Like the Helen Keller quote: (paraphrased here): “Life–either a grand adventure, or nothing.”
Yeah!! You’ll be in our neighborhood! Please let us know when those visits come around. We’re so overdue for tea and conversation… Good for you for going for it. I can’t wait to read more on your new blog, too. Your graphic reminds me of a mystery series I just finished– “Maisie Dobbs,” do you know it? Fun.
