“A Favorable Change” is the title of my horoscope on astro.com tomorrow. The prediction refers to transiting Jupiter’s sextile to my natal Uranus. While the aspect is exact tomorrow afternoon, it recurs two more times between now and next May. The interpretation of the uncommon alignment reads as follows:

“At this time you desire to make positive changes in your life that will lead to greater knowledge and experience. While the energy of this influence is not usually disruptive, it does make you impatient with the routine limitations under which you normally live. You will probably try to make changes in your immediate environment in order to deal with this impatience. It is also quite possible that the changes will occur more or less spontaneously, with little effort on your part.

This influence can be mentally very exciting. You are attracted to new ideas that are challenging in a positive way. Not only are you receptive to them, but you can grasp them more easily than usual. Often under this influence you are able to solve difficult problems in your life because you can approach them from a fresh perspective. You may develop an interest in science or other technical disciplines.

Social reform is another area that you might be attracted to, feeling that the old solutions are not adequate. Also, sudden opportunities may arise, such as a sudden financial gain or a sudden job promotion that will allow you to do much more than you have done before. This influence may also tempt you to take chances with finances by speculating or gambling.

In a larger sense, it is difficult to say precisely what you can expect during this time because the nature of this influence is so unpredictable. But you can expect some occurrence that will materially alter your plans for the immediate future, and you can expect that it will be a favorable change. Your immediate future is likely to have many more possibilities than are apparent now.”

I feel as if I would do anything to experience a big change right now. For months, I’ve been telling myself that this autumn would be the time when the opportunity to do something different with my life would arrive. With Jupiter forming this sextile to Uranus from my ninth house just as it is approaching my midheaven, this transit should be affecting me on a more-personal level than it will be affecting many of the others who share a similar Uranus placement in their horoscopes. What’s more, it’s occurring while the sun is conjoining my natal eleventh-house Pluto/Uranus conjunction. When it makes its next two contacts with the same point, the sun will be forming fortunate trines to the same point in my chart.

So, I’m going to be on the lookout for “some occurrence” that augurs this “favorable change” over the next few days. However, I’m not going to allow myself to be disappointed if I only get a preview of what’s to come as this is just the beginning of this cycle. The leaves on the trees are just starting to turn color in this part of the world. By the time they begin reemerge on the trees next May, I should be fully aware of the opportunities that Jupiter has provided for me during this auspicious time in my life.

I can’t wait!
