JUPITER SEXTILE NATAL JUPITER

When Transiting Jupiter makes a Sextile to its Natal position in your birth chart, this will be a time of strong potential for advancing action in life.  The life area involved is determined by Jupiter’s natal house position in your chart as well as the house position transiting Jupiter is moving through. 

 

The prospect potential in the birth chart is determined by the aspects from planets and angles to Jupiter within the Natal Chart.  The reason for the term potential is that all aspects in the birth chart, regardless of whether challenged or not, can provide the impetus for gain and lessons well learned.  Some aspect’s energies are much more difficult to maneuver through.  Because of this, we often experience turmoil in these areas of life, but we will learn valuable lessons from these experiences.

 

Any experience within the natal chart must come from the energies of transit or progressions.  Otherwise, the potential written within the birth chart sits dormant. 

 

Jupiter brings with it opportunities and great potential for furthering our evolutionary quest.  It opens the door to further exploration, develops insight into ways to advance in life, fosters the energy needed to succeed and brings with it what is required to reach higher plateaus. 

 

When Jupiter reaches its own Natal position by aspect these potentials are heightened and much can be achieved during the aspect contact.  The Sextile implies opportunities in these areas determined by the houses involved, but they work much more favourably when we assert ourselves.  Little to no improvement will be accomplished if we choose to sit back and not act on the energies during this highly anticipated life event timing.

 

Using these energies is highly suggested. Examine not only the houses involved in the equation but also the signs involved.  The houses are the areas of life involved, the planets signify the energies involved, and the signs suggest how these can be applied.

 

Transiting Jupiter sextile natal Jupiter offers great potential and personal growth if you put in the effort to get results. This aspect will also help to provide the energy required.

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN TAURUS 2026

On Monday, April 20, we posted an article on Sun in Taurus.  https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-taurus-2026

 

Today, we will look at some of the aspects affecting Sun in Taurus for 2026.

 

When we review the positioning of the major Transits, we note that Saturn and Neptune are both in the sign of Aries. As a result, they are making a semi-sextile to Sun in Taurus. 

 

We also note that Uranus is moving into Gemini on April 26 which will also make a semi-sextile aspect to the Taurus sun.

 

What is a semi-sextile?

 

To begin, with a semi-sextile, you can only allow a small arb of influence which should be no more than 2° from being direct. It is a minor aspect which is considered frictional. It may go by unnoticed. If we are attuned to the energies, however, and with considerable focus and adjustments taken where required, we can take steps that will bring growth over the long haul.  The energy needs to be moved forward and can have a lasting effect if a good degree of work is done.  Sitting by and doing nothing will not bring about rewards.

 

You must consider the planetary energies and the houses involved in the Taurean’s chart to reach possible conclusions as to how these energies might pan out. 

 

Neptune and Saturn have opposing energies. Saturn seeks steady, reliable, hard work to ensure lasting potential.  Neptune, on the other hand, connects with spirituality, intuition and abilities that lie beyond what would be considered “normal” or even static to inspirational insight and psychic intuitive knowledge.  Saturn is in the realistic material realm and Neptune connects to intuitive inspiration and psychic awareness.

 

When both Neptune and Saturn are in the sign of Aries, there is a giant push to do whatever must be done for oneself.  Sun in Taurus individuals must approach life by doing what they need to do and that is best for themselves, not for others, although in many cases others might be involved in the process. 

 

The houses in the astrology chart will indicate what areas of life are involved.

 

Uranus in Gemini speaks of a change of direction often through great transformational energies that we seek through mental reasoning. A new direction is often what this is about and in some cases the action is quick, decisive and possibly abrupt. A part of you will understand that this change of direction is needed, and you know what to do to make it happen. 

 

It is important to look at all other transits which affect this placement, as with all contacts.  This gives you a clearer understanding of what full energies are in play, either making this change easy or challenging.

 

Transiting Jupiter is making a Sextile to this positioning, while Transiting Pluto is making a square. 

 

Check your ephemeris to see where these transiting planets are in your chart and if they affect your Taurus Sun sign. The closer the degree, the stronger the energies.

 

Happy solar return to our Sun in Taurus readers.  The aspects for those with Sun in Taurus 2026 involving Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus suggest there is personal work that must be done connecting with both the realistic and the spiritual realms and a possible change of direction.

OWN IT

Whatever you might be doing right now in your life, own it. Regardless of how it might look to you at this point, on some level it is supposed to be.

 

If this is a good experience, wrap your arms around it.  If this is a stressful experience, embrace the lesson as it is an educational experience.  The faster you learn the lesson, the faster you can move beyond it.  This too will pass.

 

I truly believe there are no co-incidences in life. There is something valuable behind everything in life, sometimes we recognize it and sometimes the value is hard to see. If you can’t find the “why” behind what is taking hold life, let it go. It will be revealed eventually.

 

Taking responsibility and making it your own are two completely different energies.  Sometimes life happens and the events are out of our control. We are not to hold the responsibility. Learn the lesson and move on. Do not own it. If we hold on to challenges in life, or take up residence in these challenges, we create an experience where we only see challenges and we are held captive.

 

We are at the mercy of some life experiences, and we cannot alleviate these lessons. We can, however, at them as lessons and change our attitude towards the experience.

 

Explore life below the surface. What lies there?

 

If we look at our experiences from a different vantage point (not as a victim) , we can find answers. There is a time for everything in life. Whatever is happening right now, own it just for the moment so you can learn from it and then move on. Life is to be lived!

SUN IN TAURUS 2026

The sun moves into the sign of Taurus on April 20, 2026.

 

Some of the general traits of a typical Taurus Sun individual include patience, perseverance and reliability.  They seem to have a no-nonsense approach to life, realizing that it takes hard work and a diligent effort to achieve the goals they set.  They know that it takes time, and this is where patience and perseverance come into play. 

 

Most Taureans are considered efficient, practical and reliable. They usually stay-the-course especially when working towards building financial security as they appreciate the finer things in life.  They will work towards a nest egg, and many begin saving at a young age compared to most other Zodiac signs. 

 

They can be quite stubborn and will relentlessly work towards their goals.

 

Ruled by the planet Venus, they are romantic and pleasure seeking. They can and will, however, commit to a relationships when they have found the right partner.  They are loyal and can be counted on to be persistent and stable once committed.  Romance is important to these individuals, and love and affection including closeness are valued character traits that they seek in a romantic partnership.

 

Sun in Taurus individuals are considered quite stubborn and do not like change.  They like the tried, tested and true. They don’t like to take risks as risk can lead to failure and losing what they have worked so hard to gain is out of the question.  If they have to begin over again, it will likely take some time to feel comfortable once again.  They seek stability in all that surrounds them and this includes their occupation. 

 

Taurus individuals are slow to anger, but once angered, they are the bull. You don’t want to aggravate the bull as it can be relentless.  They also hold on to hurt and grief for much longer than most others. It is important for Taureans to learn to let go, as this would help them in their recovery.  Some will hold on to hurt for years and then have a hard time trusting others because of what someone else did to them. 

 

When it comes to occupation, Taureans are grounded and stable and can be totally relied upon. They will never miss a day unless absolutely necessary and out of their control.  They are steady, hard workers.  Most are quite organized and can be relied on to do their job correctly. They take responsibility seriously. You can count on them, and they will never intentionally let you down.  They honor their word.

 

Happy solar return to our disciplined, hard-working, sensual, faithful, reliable, patient Sun in Taurus 2026 readers.

 

Watch for our mini forecast for Sun in Taurus in the next couple of days.

ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS

At what age do we begin setting goals for ourselves? 

 

Some begin very early in life to set financial goals, others wait until later and some never aspire to creating a “nest egg”.

 

Most of us wish to be comfortable, at the very least. It is quite normal to set goals for financial success. However, when setting these goals we must make sure that we are not coming from a place of shortages and that we are not becoming obsessed with the need for more.

 

We live in a material world, so there it is expected that we set these goals. However, should material achievements be our only goals?

 

We do not have to be fixated on material aspirations.  We can also choose spiritual or metaphysical ambitions. When we search for our spiritual connection (whatever spirituality may mean to you), we realize that this is not something that we need to seek, because it is already a part of who we are.  Look within and we can recognize that connection. Many of our readers have mentioned that they do not feel worthy of this connection and the reasons behind this vary immensely from person to person.

 

Knowing that our belief structure expands with focus, we need to pay attention to our beliefs, our expectations, our focus.  These will build and more will come your way. Focus is key. We need to regularly review our beliefs and expectations.  Are they advantageous?

 

Let’s keep our minds open. The only limitations are the ones that we put on ourselves.  We can focus on opening our minds as well as letting go, practicing and allowing. It gets easier with disciplined effort. 

 

Our thoughts, aspirations and goals have ripple effects.  We mold our reality with our belief structure and focus. What is possible?

ARIES NEW MOON 2026

On April 17, 2026, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Aries.  Aries is the initiator, the starter, and the one that pushes for immediate results.  This New Moon falls at 27° Aries and is Conjunct Chiron which is at 26° of Aries and is Semi sextile to Uranus which is at 29° of Taurus.  We also have a Stellium in Aries with Neptune, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn all within orb separated in the beginning from Neptune at 2° degrees and ending with Saturn which is at 7°.  This is considered a tight Stellium so its influence will be felt.

 

The energies of Aries, as you can see, is quite prevalent and is pushing those influenced, especially by Conjunction or Opposition to either the Stellium or the New Moon’s position.  Aries is the pioneer, the forerunner and has quite a strong push to achieve what it sets out to do.  It is very personal, although it can affect others because of what it initiates.  So, if this is contacting your Natal Chart, what do you need to move forward with that is quite personal and may have strong consequences as a result of your actions? 

 

This is a powerhouse of energy, and if used in the correct manner, it can propel you in a forward motion which is quite opposite to any form of stagnation you may have had in place prior to this timeframe.

 

This action is likely immediate and may be rather aggressive.  Those that have planets or angles connected to either the position of the New Moon or the Stellium should certainly pursue their goals.  Remember, the New Moon is the early stages of development and whatever is being pursued may take some time to unfold. Your actions now, however, and the continued effort you apply, will likely be acknowledged when we reach the Full Moon in Aries in approximately 6 months.

 

The Conjunct with the New Moon to Chiron suggests some healing may be required.  Much will depend on the houses involved, as the houses in the Astrology chart are the areas of life that are being affected.  In many cases, Chiron is associated with the wounded healer, who has the abilities to help others heal, but may have some challenges with working towards healing themselves (check houses of transiting Chiron and Natal Chiron as well).

 

The Semi-sextile from Uranus at 29° Taurus can be difficult but also suggests that you are in the right place at the right time.  Watch for doing something without much thought, which is quite possible under these powerful connections to Aries, as well as the desire for change which will be created by Uranus.  The desire is to jump and perhaps you need to do this, but at the same time, do not be rash with your judgments or actions. This is even more important as transiting Neptune and Mercury are Conjunct at this time which may cause the thought process to be a little blurry. At the same time, you may be rushed because of transiting Mars having an impact on this Stellium, as Mars is all about action.  Saturn will be the one that pulls you to stop, if even just for a second, to think about the results of you decisions.

 

The Aries New Moon 2026 is pushing for personal achievement, and you may feel an aggressive push to achieve your goals. Heal old wounds and start fresh. Due your due diligence and think before you leap.

DUTY AND OBLIGATION

There are some actions in life that we are obligated to carry out. We must have a job in order to provide essentials.  We need to look after our health to enjoy good health. We have an obligation to ourselves first and foremost, but we also have obligations to our elders, family, boss, co-workers, friends and the list goes on, in varying degrees. There are things we must do to keep the flow of growth and opportunities in place.

 

We have a duty to our family, especially to our children as they slowly move forward into their own lives.  They learn from our example. We are likely reflected in the actions of our children in some form or another.  Because of this, we must set an example that is worthy to be carried forward. 

 

Being that good example comes easier if we have respected our obligation to ourself as we mature. It is important to foster positivity into our daily lives. It is essential to formulate an action plan that includes our wellbeing. We do have obligations beyond ourselves, but we must take care of ourselves to be of assistance to others. You cannot feed someone from an empty cupboard. 

 

Is our attitude one that promotes or allows happiness, or are we caught up in the challenges and noise of life?

 

How can we shift our focus away from the noise to accommodate harmony within?

 

We have the ultimate tool required to initiate change.  We can change our attitude, first and foremost.  A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm.  Attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient in making life more manageable, if not enjoyable. 

 

Life can and will be difficult at times.  We cannot change what life throws our way, but we can change the way we look at these lessons.  In our mind, we can change the word “difficulties” and use the word “lessons”.  That in itself is the first step.  We can learn to turn our reactions to actions.  Reactions are uncontrolled.  Actions are purposeful and productive.

 

It takes little effort to be a victim, but it comes at a high price of stress and lack of enjoyment.  Go from victim to victor over your life experience.  It does take work, much effort, in fact initially.  We are creatures of habit.  Break the habit and exercise the “finding the positive” muscle.  The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.

 

If we look for hatred in this world, we will find much hatred.  If we look for compassion in this world, compassion will show up.

 

A positive attitude is not going to change the world around you (but it might); a positive attitude will change the world within and make the world around you much more enjoyable.  A life of peace and appreciation is within our grasp and much of what we might want for ourselves is available if we wish to work for it. 

 

Believe in ourselves; push ourselves a little. Make it our duty and obligation to have peace within under any of life’s conditions.  We are strong and resilient. With determination, we can do anything we want to help ourselves through any of life’s situations. We are always learning and becoming stronger if we exercise what we need to.
