Jupiter and Uranus are exactly opposite each other tomorrow, something that 
occurs once every fourteen years. It's actually the halfway point of a cycle 
that started when the two planets last met, in early 1997, and will last until 
they next do so, in 2010. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, Uranus the spark 
of the unexpected. Together they make an explosive combination, and all the 
astrology books say that Jupiter and Uranus straining against each other like 
this produces dramatic sudden upheavals. Mainly, these lead to a release that 
has been needed for a while. Those who prefer a quiet life can take heart from 
the fact that this is single contact; a quick crisis soon over, not a sequence 
of alignments lasting a year or more as we have had in the past.
