Surprising growth spurts
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Uranus Sesquisquare Jupiter transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make risky financial investments or big bets- you might feel luckier than you actually are right now.
- Avoid promising more than you can deliver, even if you’re feeling extra optimistic.
- Don’t ignore the rules or cut corners, especially at work or in school. You could get caught off-guard.
- Hold off on sudden, drastic changes- like quitting your job or moving, unless you’ve thought everything through.
- Try not to argue with authority figures (like teachers, bosses, or parents) just for the sake of being rebellious.
- Don’t take your relationships for granted, and don’t assume everyone’s on board with your wild ideas.
- Be careful not to overcommit your time by saying “yes” to every invite or opportunity.
- Don’t shrug off important details or skip practical steps just because you’re chasing excitement.
- Avoid getting into legal trouble; this isn’t the time to take unnecessary legal risks.
- Don’t spend impulsively or splurge just to break the routine- it might backfire.
Do During This Transit
- Stay open to unusual opportunities- things you never expected might come your way.
- Take some calculated risks, especially if you’ve been feeling stuck lately.
- Listen to new ideas and perspectives, even if they’re way out of your comfort zone.
- Challenge your beliefs- try learning about different cultures or philosophies.
- Be flexible with plans; surprises and sudden changes are likely now.
- Let yourself dream bigger, but check your expectations so you don’t overdo it.
- Break away from routines that are holding you back- you might discover something better.
- Travel spontaneously if you can, or at least make room for mini adventures.
- Share your truth, but be ready for others not to get it right away.
- Double-check anything involving legal issues or big financial moves- don’t assume everything will go as planned.
What’s interesting about this transit?
- There’s an old belief that when Uranus forms a sesquisquare (135°) aspect to natal Jupiter, it can bring “unusual luck” that feels oddly timed- like winning a strange contest or getting help from an unlikely source. Ancient texts sometimes call this “the fortune of fools.”
- Some obscure 19th-century astrologers claimed this aspect was linked to sudden, foreign correspondence- letters or messages coming out of nowhere, especially about faraway travel or studies.
- Medieval writers sometimes saw hard Uranus-Jupiter contacts as “catalysts for eccentric faith,” meaning you might suddenly adopt strange new philosophies or believe in weird superstitions temporarily.
- There’s an old reference to this aspect sparking “contrarian prosperity”- basically, benefiting from going against the crowd, but in a way that might seem reckless or anti-establishment to others.
- Some older guides warned of “chaotic charity,” where a person might give away too much, too suddenly, or support a radical cause impulsively under this transit.
Experiencing This Transit
When Uranus is sesquisquare (135°) your natal Jupiter, it feels like parts of your life are getting a weird jolt. Jupiter is all about growth, beliefs, and big dreams, while Uranus is the planet of surprises, rebellion, and sudden change. The sesquisquare is a “minor hard aspect,” so it brings friction and restlessness, but not always in dramatic ways. You might feel antsy, ready to break free from your usual way of thinking, or suddenly get the urge to change something big, even if it feels a little reckless.
Challenges during this transit
- Impulsive Decisions: You might suddenly want to quit your job, sign up for a wild adventure, or ditch a long-held belief system- almost as if you’re rebelling against your own past choices. Sometimes this is great, but you might regret moving too fast.
- Overestimating Luck: Jupiter can make you feel lucky, and Uranus loves to shake things up. You might take risks you wouldn’t normally consider, like investing money in something out there or making bets that don’t pay off.
- Restlessness & Distractibility: Focusing could get tough because you’re easily bored with routines or anything that feels like “old news.” This can mess with work, school, or your everyday schedule.
- Clashing Beliefs: You may find yourself arguing with friends, teachers, or family about politics, religion, or worldviews- sometimes just for the thrill of being different.
Opportunities during this transit
- Unexpected Breakthroughs: You could have sudden insights or “aha!” moments that change how you see the world. Maybe you pick up a new hobby or discover a philosophy that blows your mind.
- Chance Encounters: It’s a good time for meeting unusual people or making friends from different backgrounds, especially if you’re open to adventures or learning something new.
- Creative Experimentation: This is awesome energy for out-of-the-box thinking, brainstorming, or starting a project that’s a little “out there.”
- Breaking Free from Limits: If you’ve felt boxed in by old rules or boring routines, this transit gives you the push to try something new, whether it’s travel, learning, or creating.
- Advocacy & Activism: The urge to stand up for unusual causes or join in on activism is strong. You might feel good lending your energy to something that feels bold or progressive, so channel the impulse wisely!
