THE JUPITER RETURN

Transiting Jupiter has a cycle of 12 years when it returns to its natal position in our Astrology chart.  Each planet has a return cycle and you can draw up a chart for that particular moment in time when each planet comes back to its original position.  You would read this type of chart similar to that of a natal chart but would think specifically in terms of the energies of the specific planet involved. 

You can delineate the Jupiter return every twelve years (approximately) by looking into the planet’s placement in the birth chart and then correlate it (now in transit) exactly to the same degree and minute to the time in the birth chart.

The house position will be the area of life that will bring opportunities, hope, good luck and expansion.  Jupiter brings with it an optimistic approach to the areas of life dictated by the house position.  This will be an area of growth and expansion.  The opportunities for a growth in finances are increased, as well as potential good fortune in personal ways and in the occupation.  Once again, this is all reflective of the house position of Jupiter as well as the aspects Jupiter makes within the birth chart and also the transits it will be receiving during the return period.

Jupiter nearly always promotes growth in some fashion or another; the only catch might be if it is in aspect to Saturn.  Jupiter pushes for expansion, optimism and good luck, while Saturn pushes for structure and discipline.  Saturn is often associated with lessons, delays and shortfalls especially if not enough preparation has been carried out.

There can be expansion problems especially if Jupiter is found in the first house, as weight gain is possible.  Over-optimism and grand expectations can sometimes lead to less than expected results.  Make sure you also have a look at the house Jupiter rules in the birth chart.  The house with Sagittarius on the cusp will also promote all the things that Jupiter offers. 

It is important that you use the energies positively during this cycle as this does not happen often and the general feeling of good fortune can make you sit idle and do nothing with the energies at hand.  Use this time to build for the future but enjoy it while it lasts.  If Jupiter moves into retrograde during the return and crosses its natal position several times, these energies will last longer and will enhance opportunities each time it crosses this particular point in your chart.  With retrograde cycles, there are usually three contacts if the retrograde cycle affects your chart.  The first contact is usually the most powerful, so take advantage of the energies during this time in your life.  Take advantage of these energies regardless if Jupiter goes retrograde or not.

REMAIN DILIGENT

Do you take time for reflection?

Do you push ahead without taking stock?

If you progress seems to be little to none of late, this is not an indicator that you are failing.  It may be an indicator that you need to stop to take stock and reflect.

Do not allow yourself to be dismayed by periods of seemingly none activity.  You are still on track and not being held back.  Persevere during these times and utilize them for reflection.

Many people lose faith or stop believing because they appear to be stalled.  How often are we given a quiet time to rest and prepare for a flurry of activity to come?  Seldom; so take advantage.  Recognize ego’s intervention that stimulates losing faith.  Ego can build doubt within ourselves and in what we are trying to achieve. 

Stay steadfast in your approach.  Do not lose faith.  Believe in yourself and know that the path is always open and ready. 

If you look back to review your recent successes, you will realize that life changed and what once was only a dream has now become reality.  Keep up the great work.  Much lies ahead if you are willing to move forward.

TRANSITING JUPITER OPPOSITION NATAL VENUS

 Transiting Jupiter will be in the sign of Scorpio from October 2017 to November 2018.  As a result anyone with their Venus in Taurus in their birth chart will have transiting Jupiter in opposition to their natal Venus.

Those with their Venus in Taurus often have a love of beauty, romance and are working on building a future that is reflective of material comforts, beautiful things and pleasant surroundings.  Venus in Taurus seeks out love in romantic relationships and Jupiter in the sign of Scorpio can build on this and also add sexual flair to a romantic relationship that is born under this opposition.

This is most often an agreeable transit and often points towards relationships being harmonious, loving and sensual.  They can develop into a deep and personal relationship where often both people are looking for something with true meaning in their lives.  Often times the person with their Venus in Taurus will not be the pursuer; although those with Venus in Taurus are usually quite lovable and romantic in nature.  Oppositions usually imply that things are generated from outside sources, however.  Perhaps someone introduces the two of you or perhaps the relationship is worth pursued because one finds the others very attractive and sensual.  Unless there are other mitigating factors in the chart pointing towards some challenging conditions, a relationship under these influences often has great potential.

If this opposition does suggest a new found relationship or even a relationship already formed, this individual needs to be sure that there is a sufficient amount of freedom available.  There may be a need for open spaces and the need to move about without any bonds, at least it will likely start out this way.  This individual may be looking for a meaningful relationship that provides love, affection and also wants lasting qualities within this relationship yet the other individual may still wants some freedom and would like to wait for the relationship to grow before they become committed to the next level.  There should be freedom in the relationship and each party cannot expect the other to want the exactly same thing, although eventually this can be quite possible.

This combination also often signifies that the finances take a turn for the better.  Opportunities are in place for growth and expansion in the area of finances.  There is only one danger with this positioning; you may be the one who is spending lavishly and not taking into consideration that this feeling of luck and financial growth is perhaps only temporary.  Do not waste your resources.  Take considerable caution when it comes to spending too freely.  There is the feeling that nothing could go wrong and this might often be the case but you will still have to be responsible and realistic.

Many opposition aspects create strife often stemming from other people involved during the transit.  This one, however, because of the energies of these two beneficial planets, under most conditions does not suggest this. 

Use the energies effectively and make sure that both want a committed relationship.  If a relationship is in the making, also ensure that it is not just based on sexual overtones.

TRANSITING JUPITER SQUARE NATAL SUN

Many squares are considered challenging aspects in the Natal (Birth) chart; however, the square from transiting Jupiter to the Sun is not considered a demanding life lesson at all.  Much, however, will depend on your self-control as Jupiter is extreme in it promotion with its energies and its influence can push you to the limit.  Beware of extending yourself too much.  Jupiter expands all that it touches and when connected to the Sun, it brings out your ambitious side. 

Jupiter is currently in the sign of Scorpio and will remain in this sign until November, 2018.  If you have your Sun in the sign of Leo or Aquarius, this square may be influencing you currently.  Much depends on the degree of your Sun as Jupiter will move from 11 degree to the final degree of Scorpio during this period mentioned. 

If your Sun happens to be in the second house, be disciplined with your finances as you will feel free to spend regardless of your financial state of affairs.  Jupiter brings optimism and potential growth during this period and the square provides you with the opportunity to work diligently towards building your financial foundation.  In this house, you may also feel more secure within yourself as you just feel up and ready for anything.  You may feel as though nothing can stand in your way, and this may not be realistic.  Make sure you weigh things out honestly before you plunge into action. 

If your Sun is in the tenth house, for example, this aspect will be reflected in your profession, and you may gain status or perhaps an increase in your pay if you have been pushing for this recently.  Opportunities or rewards for hard work often pay off during this aspect.  Things might come your way even if you have not put forth any great effort.  Jupiter just promotes your ambitions and pushes you forward in your life’s objectives.  If you feel as though you are happy with your current conditions, you may still be offered something of significance as a result of this aspect. 

In most cases, this square provides expansion (unless there are other factors linked to this position in the birth chart through transiting planets or progression planets forming challenging aspects).  You can expect something that promotes you as a result of Jupiter’s energies and this aspect puts you on track.  You may find that what you have been trying to achieve now presents itself fairly easily. 

Ensure you do not let this energy go to your head.  Any kind of arrogance or boisterous self-promotion may not sit well with others.  See this as it is.  This is an opportunity and special time for you.  You will need to be grateful for the potentials coming your way. 

Take advantage of these energies present in your life and recognize that this type of opportunity does not come knocking very often.

WHEN STRUGGLES ARE ABUNDANT

The darkest moment is always just before the dawn. 

Life’s circumstances always rebound and although the course we take is not always the course we had hoped for, our true journey will transform us and teach us the lessons that we need for our future.

Our expectations may have us asking “How long do I have to wait?”

Truly believe that there is nothing in this life that we are not strong enough to or capable of overcoming unless, of course, we give up and allow our attitude to sink below the positive points of our current learning experience.  If we actually want to succeed, giving up, in reality, is not an option.  If we can recognize the constant nagging voice that keeps us in our darkest moments, and know that voice for what it truly is, ego, than we can stop identifying with it and its message.  Recognize it for what it is.

Nothing can hurt us more in life than the relentless ego and people get so lost in its deceitful message.  They believe the message to be true and to be a part of them.  When we allow ourselves to bask in the sorrows of ego’s message, we completely identify with its message and making it our own.  It is then that we become blind and numb to the truth.  We become overwhelmed because we forget how to turn it off and are bombarded with ego’s constant defiling message that drowns hope.

Recognize negativity.  Put ego in its proper place.  Channel your thoughts in a different direction.  No matter how hard, force yourself to see the positive in each and every event you experience.  In the beginning, it will be hard to find that one small positive spark but if you look deep enough, even in the most bleak moments, there is a shred of light.

There will be moments that each of us are faced with life changing decisions.  All change can be difficult if we do not let go of the passed to move into our future.  Our positive decisions can open doors of opportunities unlike that which we have ever know.   It is frightening to release our grip on the past even if the things and people of our past no longer serves us but we do have the strength to let go so that we can reach forward to grasp our future.

Have faith in the process and have faith in yourself.  Know that we are expanding and growing especially during the most uncomfortable circumstances.  Our attitude forms a large portion of our reality.  If we focus on those things that we do not enjoy or like, our life will feel as though it is heavy and stagnant.  If we focus on the blessings and joys in our life, life will feel expansive and joyful.  When we change our attitude, we change our circumstances.  These changes will require action on our part.  If we are positive, we will have faith in ourselves and in the events in our life.

Change is inevitable.  If we fight it, we create discord.  We will survive and be stronger and more resilient after each life lesson.  Stay true to yourself, not your ego.

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT NATAL SUN

Venus, in transit, takes over one year to complete its cycle around the Sun.  It takes approximately 18 months from one retrograde period to the next and its retrograde cycle is approximately 40 days in length. 

Many have Venus conjunct the Sun in their birth chart as it is never more than 48 degrees away from the Sun. 

Venus is a feminine planetary influence and is linked to the sense of touch, material things and love.  It has to do with kindness and politeness and adds a flair for wanting to be around beautiful things. 

When Venus is direct in its motion, its energies want to manifest harmony, peace, beauty and love.  When it is retrograde, its energies are the reverse, often taking on energies similar to that of Mars.  With this retrograde influence, we can becomes more aggressive and the drive may still be towards gaining material abundance although when it is attached to business activities, its influence is often to slow things down or even move into reverse for a while.  Check you chart to see if Venus is in retrograde or direct motion.  This will define how the energies will be released when activated.

Venus when in conjunction to the Sun will only have a lasting influence of about 10 days unless it moves into retrograde.  If this is the case, it can last much longer.  Much will depend on the energies of other planetary influences during the same period that Venus is aspecting your Sun.  This Astrologer only uses the transits of outer planets to natal Venus as the energies are often far too short to make any significant changes to one’s life (when using the energies of the inner planets).  However, Venus’ cycle will still have an impact on what takes place in your life but its influence will be quite short lived.

You will find that the feelings of affection are increased and your sensitivities are also enhanced during this aspect.  You may want more social time with others and you will express yourself in a comfortable manner.  Venus and the Sun usually go together very well and unless there are other mitigating factors making challenging angles to this conjunction, it generally is quite favourable.  You may feel inclined to go out and enjoy yourself, and to look after your own needs.  You may find relaxation in what you enjoy and the challenging conditions in life may be swept away at least for a while. 

Sometimes with this aspect, you will need to make things happen.  Other times, things just seem to flow your way.  Sitting back and waiting for life, however, is never a good idea.  Take life under your wing and have some fun.

You may run into someone that adds meaning to your life at this time.  This applies to both women and men, but Venus usually indicates the female gender.  Women, in general, may be lots of fun to be with now.  This aspect affects both men and women although the women seem to enjoy these energies a little more than men.

Venus is also about creativity and artistic abilities.  You may find that pursuing anything along these lines which can facilitate these abilities may work in your favour.  The energies flow well into these areas and you may find that you enjoy this part of your life more now than ever. 

Starting a new project might be a good idea and make sure that you surround yourself with visual complements that help you settle into things.  Beauty is important and you can create wonderful things during this short stay with the conjunction between Venus and the Sun.
