Big News Ahead?
The Jupiter Uranus Conjunction lights up the charts of US power players
When two outer planets make a conjunction, it is a rare moment of intense energy. On April 20th, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and positivity, meets with Uranus, the planet of unexpected disruptions.
It’s likely we each feel this conjunction in our personal lives in some way.
On the political and world stage, however, is where outer planet conjunctions prove their potency.
I’ve pulled the charts of some recent political newsmakers with Taurus placements near the 21st degree.
Will we hear these top names this month make huge and unexpected headlines?
Just looking at the transits alone, what can we determine?
Remember, this article outlines potentials and possibilities. The astrology playing out can be satisfied in several ways. Read my disclaimer here.
Bill Clinton
This could be an emotional month for Mr. Clinton. Bill Clinton’s exalted Taurus Moon at 20° is in for a big surprise when Jupiter and Uranus meet here. Any big happenings could hit him emotionally and physically. Secret groups and financial dealings will be of interest.
Saturn and Mars in Pisces join up in Clinton’s 6th house of health and service on Wednesday, April 10th. If his health is not a factor, watch for news regarding former employees spilling secrets.
Bill is also dealing with a slow and painful Pluto opposite Saturn, forcing a in-depth look at things he said in the past as a world leader.
The April 8th Aries eclipse closely opposes Clinton’s natal Jupiter in Libra. There could be big blessings here, or a loss of status. Look for surprises with his partnerships and friends in high places.
A slew of planets transiting in his 7th house opposite his natal 1st house of Self can be a difficult balancing act. People feel the need to judge the former president differently than they did in the past, setting the Clinton dynasty off kilter.
Nancy Pelosi
Nancy Pelosi is having her Uranus return.
Few people reach this milestone, where Uranus returns to the same placement and degree it held at birth. It takes approximately 83–84 years for this to occur.
This is not just any ordinary Uranus return, however. Nancy has Uranus at her midheaven, in a Taurus Stellium with her natal Mars and Venus.
Jupiter joins the party this month, when it meets Nancy's Uranus Midheaven return at 21º of Taurus.
This lights up the top of Nancy's chart.
Uranus returns can indicate a breaking free of responsibilities.
Could she be retiring?
Nancy’s natal Moon at 18º Scorpio, on her natal IC, proposes her home life will be a factor during this newsworthy month when Jupiter and Uranus oppose it.
News concerning her husband or open enemies could be a piece to the puzzle. Nancy’s 7th house of marriage is getting a blast of the hammer with transit Mars meeting with transit Saturn, both approaching her natal Mercury in Pisces.
With Venus transiting Nancy’s 8th house of other people’s money and investments, be sure to watch Nancy’s stock picks.
This month's Jupiter and Uranus conjunction in Taurus will likely impact global financial news. Nancy is always one step ahead in this regard.
The April 8th Solar Eclipse makes a conjunction with Nancy's natal Jupiter, pushing her luck even further.
However, Jupiter and Uranus arriving at 21°, a litigious degree, could spell trouble if Nancy has committed financial crimes.
While a quick glance of the transits show Nancy could have some financial gains at this time, Progressions and Solar Arcs indicate Nancy may have gone too far with her investments.
Keep an eye on Pluto when it retrogrades back to zero degrees of Aquarius this summer. Nancy's Pluto opposition could bring up hidden issues when it squares he natal Saturn for the second time.
Retirement may be in order, but will it be of her volition?
Chuck Schumer
Jupiter and Uranus making their conjunction at 21°, within a degree of U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer’s exalted Taurus Moon. Chuck Schumer’s natal moon sits on his IC, opposite his midheaven. Home and public image issues will be a factor. There could be some emotional upheavals for Mr. Schumer.
This week’s Aries eclipse makes a trine to his natal Pluto in Leo in the 7th house of partnerships and enemies. If something is exposed, it could deal with things previously kept hidden.
Schumer’s natal Neptune is in his 8th house of secrets, death, sex, and other people's money at 18º Libra. The 19° Aries eclipse could put a magnifying glass on this area of his life.
Considered a difficult degree, Schumer’s 18° Neptune sits in his 8th house, in a square to Mars in his 12th house. This may indicate secrets, hidden financial dealings or blackmail. These issues could be of a foreign or criminal nature.
The higher octave of Neptune includes spiritual and religious topics coming to the fore. Chuck Schumer is Jewish and supports funding Israel. Will his stance on this issue come under pressure?
This week’s Aries eclipse and upcoming Jupiter Uranus conjunction could have Chuck Schumer and his wife hiding from the headlines.
Giorgia Meloni
Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy, has her Jupiter return this year at exactly 21° of Taurus. Typically, Jupiter returns could bring karmic blessings. Uranus coming along for the ride indicates some major disruptions or events taking place in her public image and career sector. These could be good surprises, with her 9th house being lit up in this Aries eclipse. Whatever Ms. Meloni been working on and researching could make news in the weeks to come.
Likely, concerns of war are on her mind. Meloni’s natal Venus exalted in Pisces is being hit by two malefics—Mars and Saturn—soon making a conjunction in Pisces.
Religious and spiritual topics could have a play here as well, with the Vatican making news as well.
Keep an eye out for major communications coming out of Italy.
Tucker Carlson
The Aries eclipse is at the top of the chart for Tucker Carlson. His work as in independent news source continues to receive acclaim and attention.
The April 20th Jupiter Uranus conjunction approaches Tucker Carlson’s natal 25º Taurus Sun. We can expect, with Jupiter running over Tucker’s Sun, Moon, and Mercury this month, and Uranus close behind, Tucker’s popularity will continue to rise in unexpected ways.
The groups of people Tucker associates himself with will have an impact on the kinds of gains he experiences this year. Some rumors suggest Tucker could be on the top of the ticket for the Republican Party as VP.
Tucker has also been known for a long time as a libertarian. Could an independent run with the Libertarian Party be a future endeavor for Tucker?
While I’d have to look deeper at some other charts and aspects, Tucker certainly has some positive transits arriving soon. Combined with Tucker’s placements and degrees in his natal chart, he could be a major force of influence in the coming months.
Melania Trump
With Taurus ruling money, Melania may have already received the pop of Jupiter conjunct Uranus this past weekend, when a record-breaking $50M was raised for her husband’s presidential campaign.
What other surprising, shocking or lucky news might come Melania’s way this month?
(Note: Melania’s Birth time is unknown)
Jill Biden
Like Melania, Jill Biden also has Mercury in Taurus.
Jill Biden’s Mercury is at 21º Taurus. The Jupiter Uranus conjunction on her natal Mercury is in her 5th house of children and creative endeavors.
This Taurus conjunction makes a square to Jill Biden’s 8th house Pluto in Leo. The 8th house rules deep secrets, taboos, and transformation. The 21st degree recommends news of a foreign nature.
Will her family’s international entrenchments be in the hot seat?
This week’s Aries eclipse hits Jill Biden’s 4th house of home and family. Investigations on the Biden family will likely continue in the weeks ahead.
I hope these chart examples have been interesting and helpful to your astrology studies.

Taylor Swift: Forcing the Narrative
Recently, I was comparing astrology charts of people in the headlines with the chart of The United States. Someone asked me to do Taylor Swift's chart. We don't have a birth time for her, but we can still look at what her planets do in a composite chart with the United States. This offers an understanding of the impact she has on the country.
