The glyph for Uranus
Frequently this birthing process impelled by the Uranian archetype can be frustrating and difficult, and, at worst–but often the case–is aborted or miscarried. However, when Jupiter is aligned with Uranus, the birth canal of the universe is expanded, aligning harmoniously with Uranus and allowing the thrust of creation
to usher forth unimpeded. If we look at the symbol of Uranus again, we can imagine that Jupiter dilates the birth canal and the baby–the new creation–is ushered through on the world stage.


When Jupiter contacts Uranus, it's as if the universal birth canal and subsequent breakthrough are on a grander scale.
As Richard Tarnas documents in Prometheus the Awakener, the creative impulse of Uranus is not only allowed safe passage when aligned with Jupiter, but Jupiter also grants success and triumph to the innovative drive of Uranus. (To see the Jupiter-Uranus combination and 20th century film click here.) In 1976, we see the success given to the emancipatory, rebellious, and innovative Uranian inclinations in the ascendancy of Punk in the U.K., the rise of Disco, and the breakthrough of Reggae artists like Bob Marley into public consciousness.

Revisiting Frampton, we see that Frampton's natal Sun aligns with the 1976 Jupiter-Uranus opposition.
With the Sun being arguably the most important archetype in the make-up of personality, It was Frampton, then, who was ushered through this birth canal of creativity and novelty and thrust out onto to the main stage of Rock'n'Roll for a brief but brilliant sojourn at the top.

It is not my intention to suggest that Frampton was fated to become huge in 1976; it is false to assume that with a Jupiter-Uranus alignment landing prominently in one's chart that one can merely sit back and assume success. The Jupiter-Uranus transit represents more of a moment that is embedded in a much larger process.
