World War 2 was fought between 1939 and 1945. The Jupiter Uranus conjunction was exact in Taurus on 8 May 1941. Two days later, the German Luftwaffe mounted what would become the last major bombing raid on London. It would be one of the most devastating. 1400 people died and 700 acres were set on fire including damage to the Houses of Parliament.
This conjunction was exact again in Taurus on 21 April 2024. It is a time of profound change and instability. In Taurus we can expect financial and agricultural disruption. Uranus is associated with unpredictable events including weather/earth events like volcanoes and extreme weather. It is interesting that we have experienced fires in Table Mountain which started with lighting strikes which is very unusual for Cape Town as this time of year. Jupiter always magnifies what it touches and we ended up with 5 fires in Table Mountain – 4 started by lighting and one from human error.
I experienced a wild fall on this day. I was supporting my husband at the start of the Ironman 70.3 and I had my dog with me attached to my waist on his harness. He was desperate to get to the sea, but the race hadn’t even started and there was a cold wind blowing. I wanted to take him away from the start so that he could run free. A magic song played on the sound system, and I turned around and decided to capture this moment on video. Next thing I ‘woke’ with my cheek in the sand. Tau had jumped and taken me with him. The sand was 2m below. I have no idea what happened, but I felt like I was a ragdoll picked up by my legs and slapped into the sand – this violent and yet benevolent force. Uranus the violent force and Jupiter the benevolent force. A leap of faith that I would never have undertaken on my own! I was so lucky not to break anything or hit my head on the rocks nearby. It was like something held me and kept me safe.
