Throughout our human existence, we experience many once in a lifetime events. Some of these events are astrological, and it’s important to understand what these astrological alignments mean and how they may affect us. A rare celestial event is taking place this Tuesday, April 12, at exactly 9:43 a.m. Eastern Time - a Jupiter and Neptune conjunction, in Pisces, for the first time since March 17, 1856. A conjunction is when these planets will appear at the same exact point in the sky. What does this mean? Many astrologers believe that this Jupiter-Neptune conjunction may result in a cultural reset. So what makes this specific planetary alignment so special?
Although these two planets link up approximately every 12 years, they only meet in Pisces every 165 years. So what can we expect? Well, since this exact conjunction hasn’t occurred since 1856, we don’t totally know. However, understanding the symbolism of these two planets moving through Pisces, it’s likely that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction will initiate some form of spiritual/creative renewal or awakening on both a personal and societal level. This means that matters relating to beliefs, spirituality, perception and artistic expression will be greatly amplified.
Jupiter is growth-oriented and loves to expand, while Neptune brings us intuition and dreams. When both of these planets are in Pisces, there is an amplification of transformational energy. Our spiritual sides will be easier to access and creativity will be flowing. The energy here is pretty serious - in fact, many are saying this is the best day of your entire lifetime for manifesting your dreams. So get out that manifestation journal, write down some intentions, or visualize what you’d like to see in your future - for yourself, and for the world.
This conjunction will bring an incline towards humanitarianism, and we may feel inspired to help people. We may feel more drawn to our higher purpose, or feel called to change something in our lives. Maybe there’s a dream or vision that you’ve always felt called to, but never pursued. This would be a great time to start following your passion and taking the steps needed to create the life you want to experience.
Being a once in a lifetime event, this is an excellent opportunity to set intentions, start that meditation practice, or practice raising your vibration in whatever way that looks like to you. Take time on this day to get quiet and listen to what’s going on in your inner world. Even if you don’t use this time to practice meditation or visualization, take this time to practice stillness - as it is the quiet moments that allow us to hear the messages waiting for us.
