Summary

In episode 444 astrologer and historian Richard Tarnas joins the show to talk about conjunctions between the planets Jupiter and Uranus, and discuss major events they have coincided with in history. Jupiter and Uranus form a conjunction in the sky every 14 years, and since this year the two aligned on April 20, I thought it would be good to look back to see what types of events occurred around the time of these conjunctions in the past. Richard dedicated several chapters of his 2006 book Cosmos and Psyche to exploring Jupiter-Uranus alignments in history, and he showed that they often coincide with periods sudden advancements in technology, scientific breakthroughs, and political revolutions. In the first part of the episode we talk about the meanings of Jupiter, Uranus, and their conjunctions, and then in the second half we get into talking about what happened under specific alignments. Some of the events we cover include the Apollo 11 Moon landing, the American and French revolutions, and the discoveries of Kepler and Galileo.

0:00.0	Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the astrology podcast.
0:03.2	Joining me today is astrologer Richard Tarnas, who's going to be talking with me
0:07.7	about Jupiter Uranus conjunctions and what they've coincided with in history.
0:12.0	So hey Richard, thanks for joining me today.
0:14.0	It's a pleasure.
0:15.0	It's good to be coming back for that first one that we did about three years ago
0:22.0	was kind of a marathon and it's fun to go deeply into a
0:28.7	subject such as we did then.
0:30.3	Yeah, that was the capstone of my entire planet series when we did Pluto and it ended up being one of the
0:37.0	episodes that I think has impacted people the most and that's gotten like a crazy amount of
0:41.0	views over the past two years. So this weekend there's a Jupiter
0:46.1	Uranus alignment that's taking place where there's a conjunction happening in Taurus on April
0:51.7	20th. Today is Wednesday, April 17th, 2024 for those curious. And so I was researching this and wanting to do an episode on it and I was rereading parts of your book and then I realized who best to talk about that,
1:07.0	then one of the people who's perhaps done the most to research what that's coincided with in history because that was a major component that you dedicated a few chapters to in Cosmos and Psyche, right?
1:20.0	That's right. There were four big outer planet alignments and cycles that I studied in detail.
1:28.0	I mean, I discussed other ones as well, but the four that I discussed in detail included the Jupiter Uranus cycle,
1:35.0	which is really one of the, in some ways it's almost the most dazzling one
1:42.0	because it just partly because it it repeats itself more
1:46.7	frequently on a 14-year cycle compared with say the Uranus Pluto cycle or the Uranus Neptune or the Neptune
1:58.4	Pluto cycle which is of course the long the longest amongst the those particular outer planets.
2:05.0	And so there's something about the Jupiter-Uronis combination
2:10.8	in history that seems to come through with a particular flashy brilliance and because
