A recent earthquake in New York City and New Jersey has sparked discussions about the potential astrological causes behind the natural phenomenon. According to astrologer Kyle Thomas, the 4.5 magnitude earthquake that rattled the East Coast on April 5 could be attributed to the positioning of Uranus in Taurus, with implications for future global events.

Thomas explains that Uranus, known for its association with transformation, radical change, crisis, and freedom, has been residing in Taurus since March 6, 2019. This alignment, he suggests, significantly impacts the aspects governed by Taurus, particularly the Earth and the physical world, potentially leading to an increase in global disasters such as earthquakes, lightning, and storms.

Looking ahead, Thomas highlights the upcoming Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, set to commence on April 20, 2024. Describing it as a rare and intense event, he notes that the merging of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus is expected to bring about significant effects, both positive and negative, as their energies combine.

The conjunction, occurring approximately once every 14 years, is anticipated to mark one of the most intense days in the 2024 astrological calendar. The last time these planets collided in Taurus was in 1941, further emphasizing the rarity of this celestial event.

As Uranus continues its journey in Taurus until July 7, 2025, before transitioning into Gemini and eventually returning to Taurus in November 2025, Thomas advises individuals to stay informed about the potential impacts of these astrological phenomena.
