Two major planetary shifts occur this week as Hidden Insights observes Uranus and Jupiter changing signs. This is paired with two harmonious trines, and promises a bounty of life-changing opportunities.
The week begins as the Sun makes its biannual trine to Neptune. Caring and compassionate energy flows easily to and from others for the majority of the week. On Friday, the trine between Venus and Mars carries the energy through the weekend, where happy encounters continue to put much of the world in a good mood. Charities and social welfare organizations will do very well this week, and they will receive a great deal of positive attention.
This week’s change of signs for Uranus and Jupiter will initiate year long changes due to the slower speed of the planets. On Tuesday, Uranus moves backwards into Aries where it will stay until 6 March 2019. Uranus will not visit Aries again until the year 2095. Over the next four months, groups around the world will be inspired once again to lead revolutions of change. The possibility of explosions, and natural disasters involving fire are more likely now as well. Purging through physical and metaphorical fire will occur to prepare for Uranus in Taurus next year.
For almost a year, Jupiter has spent its time in Scorpio. This has brought secrets to the surface, and investigations to the forefront of the global conscience. Taboo and sexuality have taken centre stage, particularly with the exposure of mass sexual assault investigations, and the #MeToo movement.
In Sagittarius, Jupiter now has the ability to move towards freedom and individuality. The world is ready to break free from constrictions. Sagittarius also rules philosophy, religion, and legal matters. The world is ready to debate, take important issues to court, and change previously held religious and moral doctrines.
Looking back at at the last time Jupiter passed through Sagittarius a number of significant philosophical changes took place. The Catholic Pope discontinued limbo for unborn babies and returned the power of priests to perform the traditional Latin Mass. The Episcopalian Church began to split of communion rites for the LGBTQ community. There was also a surge the publication of books on atheism, and the Pew Research Center found an exponential growth in the practice of Pagan faiths in the United States. We can expect to see faith, religion, and spirituality to make headlines over the next 12 months.

While two planets change signs this week, your homework assignment will focus on the trines that occur. Embrace the peaceful, compassionate, and altruistic energy.
