Jupiter Conjunct Uranus: Best Break-through Performance

Transits between Jupiter and Uranus are sometimes prominent when an up and coming star gets his or her first major break-out role. The conjunction signifies greater independence, progress and unexpected opportunities. On the intellectual level, scientific breakthroughs occur, astrology, computers, electronics and higher mathematics benefit greatly during these periods and we often see leaps in technological advancement. The conjunction between these planets is often hanging around when lucky opportunities, sudden strokes of luck and discoveries appear. We break through barriers, knock down doors, and our full potential is explored. The transit occurs under times of great growth and advancement. It can also reflect a rebellious and reckless time, with the individual displaying non-conformist behaviour. Meaning in life may be through unorthodox studies such as astrology. Erbetin has named it ‘the Thank the Lord’ configuration. On a mundane level we experienced Man walk on the Moon in 1969. The first Sheep was cloned under the Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius in 1997. The extremely popular horoscope site Astrodienst formed under a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in 1983.

Astrologer Liz Greene was introduced to astrology during a transit of Jupiter-Uranus which formed a conjunction in Gemini in the 7th house. After a meeting with Mrs Hickey, she was urged to explore astrology further, and is considered a leading expert in the field and has benefited many astrology students.

Quote from "Astrology of Fate" by Liz Greene:

Naturally I was quick to inspect the transits and progressions in operation at the time of my meeting with Mrs Hickey and its subsequent repercussions. The most striking transit at work was Jupiter passing through Gemini and making a direct station on my natal Uranus in the seventh house. This is a classic interpretation of a 'fated' (or synchronous) encounter, which brought opportunities in its wake but left my life as quickly as it had come. I have learned since to pay close attention to the transit of Jupiter, for although they often pass quickly and without noticeable concrete benefits for the person who is waiting for heaven to shower manna on him, they often coincide with opportunities which can greatly expand one's vision and understanding. But one must act on such openings which appear in the curtain that masks the inner world. We might do well to remember Zeus, who with lightning quickness pursues and mates his chosen paramours, and then vanishes as quickly, leaving them fertilized with a semi-divine child to bear.

Megan Fox’s role in the box office smash Transformers, as the lead female character, put her face all over television, magazines and bedroom walls. It has been described as her ‘breakout role’ and rightly so. In 2007, when the dark haired beauty was cast as Mikaela Banes, transiting Jupiter was conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius.

The movie Twilight was released on November 21st 2008. Robert Patterson, gained the role of lead Vampire (Edward Cullen), and had transiting Uranus tightly conjunct his natal Jupiter on the night of the premiere. The star is massively popular amongst teenage girls, and a DVD was released called Robsessed!

The other massive teen sensation Justin Bieber was discovered sometime in 2008, and later signed when transiting Jupiter was forming a conjunction to his natal Uranus. The young star exploded internationally and has become a massive success with many adoring teenage fans.
