JUPITER SQUARE NATAL JUPITER

Transiting Jupiter takes roughly one year to go through each Zodiac sign.  To go through all astrological signs it therefore takes approximately 12 years. 

 

Jupiter will make a Square (90° aspect) to its natal position approximately three years after it conjuncts (same degree and the same sign) its natal position and approximately three years after (six years total from conjunction) it makes its opposition (180° aspect) to its natal position.

 

The house position of Jupiter’s natal position in the astrological chart along with its house placement while in transit will be areas of interaction with the Square aspect.  The Natal potential (Jupiter’s natal chart configuration) will also define how these energies might develop as they get close to being direct (exactly 90° apart).

 

Jupiter, known as the greater benefic, stands alone with its positive influence as it moves through the Zodiac.  No other planet by challenging aspect will have such a positive influence as will Jupiter.  The only planet that Jupiter has any challenge with is Saturn even though its influence can still prove to be beneficial over time. 

 

Jupiter is known to bring good luck, easy flow, fortunate conditions, expansion and growth as it makes its way through the Zodiac influencing links within each of our planetary positions and angles in our natal charts.

 

Squares always indicate some delays, struggles, and hurdles to overcome. In most cases, we must work very hard at overcoming the energies in place through their influence.  However, squares are considered very irritating, (using a soft word to express their influence), and will ask us to see what we can do to alleviate these conditions or at the very least make them somewhat manageable. 

 

When Jupiter Squares itself, and depending on the overall condition of our natal Jupiter and perhaps the other influences of other transits to this position, we can still expect growth perhaps through learning or through outer experiences that teach lessons. It may be a bit harder than we might wish it would be but with effort, we reap the benefits.  Perhaps we may lose something to gain something more especially if Pluto is involved.  Perhaps we gain insight through unexpected conditions or rather quick, sudden interactions, but awaken some part of our lives especially if Uranus is involved. 

 

The experience may be a little tough and we might have to put forth effort and learn lessons along the way, but the potential is still there for growth on some level. 

 

Jupiter will likely open doors over time, but it may take a few months for things to clear, and after this lapse of time we begin to understand the why behind what took place.  We will realize that whatever transpired had to take place for what we now understand or are experiencing would not have transpired if things had stayed the same. 

 

Jupiter square natal Jupiter suggests that we wrap our arms around these learning experiences and know that the universe is teaching us valuable lessons that will assist in our overall development.

WHO ARE YOU IN THE DEEPEST SENSE

The real, inner you is a little more hidden than the one you create to show to the world. We have a outer persona which more often than not is somewhat different to the person that resides within. 

 

Our core, which is still another facet of who we are, runs much deeper.  It is not the face we show to the world or the one we identify with; it is an even more deep connection. 

 

We are a combination of all of these parts combined. 

 

How much do we identify with our outer expression, with your inner self, or with your core? 

 

We tend to know our inner self or the person we identify with, and we also have come to know what might be termed as our reactionary self, but how well do we know our core self? 

 

Exactly what is our core self?

 

Our core self or higher self (simply a choice of words) has to do with our guiding force or true self.  This is not to say that those parts of yourself that you identify with or show to the world are not a part of your true self, but they are more just segments of the whole. 

 

Our core self/higher self is spiritual in nature and on a sole level.  This higher self is the guiding force even when we are not listening consciously.  This higher self can assist us in understanding the purpose behind this incarnation and guides us during our lives on this earthly plain. It is always present, and connected to beyond our earthly capabilities. 

 

This connection has many names such as source, guiding force, the whole, God and the list goes on.  

 

With all of this support, what are we capable of in this life?

 

Why do we put limitations on ourselves? 

If we continue setting limits within and only allow growth based on these limitations, what disservice are we doing for ourselves?

 

All that we wish we were is available to us. How would we even know about these capabilities existing if we are not in touch with them?

 

Don’t hold yourself back.  You are far reaching and have capabilities beyond what you believe you can be or accomplish.  Life moves quickly just as our elders warned us.  Our time is limited in this earthly plain so do not squander it.  Work towards whatever it is you have set out to do.  Don’t hold back. 

 

You are limitless and much more than any preconceived notion that you may have. So please tell me, who are you in the deepest sense?

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN GEMINI 2025

We are going to take a quick look at a couple of aspects that will affect Sun in Gemini this year. See our post on Sun in Geminin posted May 15 at https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-gemini-5

 

Those Geminians with their Sun in the early degrees of Gemini will have several major aspects with the outer planets, some of which are already in place and others are to come. 

 

On July 7, 2025, Uranus, although temporarily, will move into Gemini.  It stays in Gemini until November 8, 2025, then it returns to Taurus.  Uranus then again goes into Gemini April 26, 2026, and from that day forward for about 7 years remains in Gemini before it moves into the next sign, Cancer.

 

Transiting Uranus seeks change and sometimes in a rather dynamic fashion.  It is known as the awakener and does just that.  It clearly shows what needs revamping, what needs a new direction and what is required, often because what was in place no longer suits our evolutionary quest and our essential direction in life.

 

Uranus is quite unpredictable, and its action can be sudden and unexpected.  Quite often we get little hints that change is needed prior to its eventual demanding push, and we can make these moves if we so desire on our own. However, these changes will happen as they are not a request, they are a necessity. Change is required and these changes take place with or without our conscious consent as they are necessary for our continued growth.

 

When in aspect to the Sun, and especially by conjunction (the most powerful aspect of all the five major aspects), our goals in life and life’s direction are part of the unfolding.  On a deeper level even our essences is subject to concentrated focus and evaluation and some change is often a requirement.  Much of what transpires will depend on the placement of transiting Uranus, the natal Sun and Natal Uranus by house placement and aspect configuration within natal chart.

 

Transiting Pluto is already making a Trine to those Geminians with their Sun in the early degrees of Gemini.  Transiting Pluto currently (May 2025) is in retrograde at 3° in Aquarius.  As mentioned, Uranus speaks of change of direction and now Pluto speaks of disruption to the flow of things because a full change of direction is required.  There are no half measures about the actions of Pluto.  Pluto can be dynamic although often begins in a rather subtle manner opening doors that are now needing to be open.  Although both Uranus and Pluto speak of the need for change, Pluto being in Trine suggests that the shift of direction is likely very absolute and very productive and favorable. 

 

If, for example, Pluto was either moving into the seventh house or already in the seventh house then the potential for a change in relationships of significance, usually the partner and is subject to moving in a different direction.  The relationship will undergo a transformation and regeneration if that is a requirement and then move forward in the direction that is most suitable for the individuals concerned. 

 

The likelihood of the Sun, in this example, being in the third or fourth house is quite possible so not only will it affect the life path and inner regeneration, it will also have something to do with the home and family and communication techniques.  If in the third for example, then communication is highlighted especially in everyday affairs.  If in the fourth house, the home front and family or perhaps one of the parents being part of the conditions unfolding is likely. 

 

There are other aspects in force for Sun in Gemini but this post will only touch on these influences. 

 

Happy solar return Sun in Gemini! These aspects for those with their Sun in Gemini 2025 are suggesting change and the transition period for these changes can be much easier if you work with the energies and not fight them.

THIS RETURN TRIP

This post is dedicated to those that have an open mind when it comes to reincarnation and life after death. 

 

Everyone, but especially those that are sure or have strong beliefs that we are not here for the first time, must take responsibility for our lives.  We have picked this life, to be with the people we are close to us, even those that seem to hinder us in some way. We have chosen this road and all that lies behind us and before us.

 

Yes, we have picked even the challenging situations, because they are valuable teachers.  We also know that our higher self, which some believe is the accumulation of all individuals we have been prior to this life, will only do what is best for our journey.  We may not understand the purpose behind some of the challenges we find ourselves facing but our higher self knows what we need to learn and how to advance our eternal growth through our experiences.

 

You may wonder why my spouse is so wonderful and what did I do to find such a perfect mate or alternatively you may question why would I have pick such an individual? They seem to challenge me at every turn. 

 

What will I learn from our interaction? 

 

How will I grow as an individual and how am I affecting those that surround me? 

 

We interact with one another for reasons much greater than we might be aware.  There are deep connections with certain people that most likely we have shared experience with prior to this incarnation.  Our family and family of friends likely decided to join us again with our approval.  No matter how the relationship appears on the surface, we are linked together with total agreement.

 

Why have we met so many obstacles throughout our life, and experienced so many hardships and such sadness? Alternatively, we may ask why have we been swept away in such pure love and appreciation? 

 

What are our Karmic implications, good or bad?

 

Why do we not know clearly why events have taken place?

 

Why can we not remember previous lives to understand more clearly why things happen the way they do?

 

So many questions yet too few answers.  Are our earthly minds capable of understanding the reasoning?

 

It is quite acceptable to go deep and question why we are here and what we have come to learn. This inquisitiveness will help us to dive much deeper into our earthly journey instead of riding the wave of life without purpose or meaning.

 

Go deep into the whys behind this return trip. Find purpose, be of assistance, love unconditionally and you may find the answers more quickly.

SUN IN GEMINI

On May 20, 2025, the Sun moves from the fixed, earth sign of Taurus into the mutable air sign of Gemini. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus (born in the first 1-5° of Gemini) will have tendencies also linked to the sign of Taurus.  Those individuals with their Sun in the last degrees of Gemini will also have Cancer tendencies especially internally.  These are cusp degrees.

 

Gemini, as mentioned, is a Mutable sign and these individuals are changeable, able to adapt to almost any condition, sometimes quite moody with changing temperaments frequency and quite often restless needing constant variety in life.  They usually do not like to stand still or to be idle. Geminians tend to go with the flow rather than fight against the current. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus still carry the same traits as the above-mentioned, but also have concerns about the finances, wish to move forward in the same direction rather than constantly changing direction, are more steadfast in their approach and more reliable.  Financial security is often more important for those with Taurus cusping than those with the Sun in the middle degrees of Gemini.  Decants must also be considered.

 

Those Geminians with their Sun cusping Cancer are more concerned with family affairs, are also more emotional than the typical Gemini. Sensitivity and the need to protect their family runs strong with the late degree Gemini individuals.  Decants again play a part with the later degree of Gemini. 

 

The Sun sign of Gemini is an air sign suggesting these individuals are ruled by their mind and quite adept at conversation, unless Mercury is poorly aspected in the natal chart. 

 

Mercury rules Gemini and most Gemini take an interest in learning.  Education is important in the schooling of the mind, whether through actual academic learning or the schooling of life.  Geminians like to know a little about a lot, but many tend to skim the surface. Those individuals with Taurus tendencies, however, will likely run deep into subjects that interest them. 

 

Geminians are the talkers of the Zodiac.  They tend to mingle with others, have a wide range of interests, are fond of discussions, listen but also think while they listen, which at times will get in the way.  They usually have a wide circle of friends (more likely acquaintances).  They enjoy socializing and many also participate in groups as they can share their ideas with others and learn.  Geminians can be quite convincing but are also subject to a change of heart or thinking, as they review and process what has been said. 

 

Gemini individuals are very much in the moment, but also deeply embedded in their thought processing.

 

Happy solar return to our friendly, curious, witty, communicative, thinking Geminian followers!

THE TRANSIT OF MERCURY & ITS RETROGRADE MOTION

The planet Mercury has to do with our thinking process.  It also has to do with evaluation, speculation, integration and information. 

 

The placement of Mercury in the Natal Astrology chart, by sign and house position along with natal aspects determines how your mind operates and how it deals with information, both favourable and challenging.  Regardless of how your Mercury is aspected in your natal chart, you have options as to how you wish to deal with life’s adversities and also how you wish to move forward when opportunity strikes.

 

As Mercury moves through the Zodiac, it forms aspects to all of your planets over a relatively short period of time, quite opposite from the movement of the slow outer planets.  Mercury is known as a neutral planet, suggesting that it needs stimulation from outside sources before it becomes activated.  A transit to your Natal Mercury is quite different in energy from an aspect by Transiting Mercury to your natal positions.

 

Transiting Mercury changes signs at least once every month unless it goes into retrograde.  Retrograde motion is when a planet appears to move backwards in the Zodiac.  Outer planets are in retrograde about half of the time through the year.  Mercury remains in retrograde for about three weeks at a time.  It can change signs while in retrograde motion, therefore moving over the same degree in your chart three times until it finally moves direct again and continues its forward motion.

 

Many individuals fear Mercury while in its retrograde cycle but this is a bit of a fallacy.  What Mercury suggests while in retrograde is that you review your current plans before actually moving forward with them.  Mercury retrograde is a time for studying and integrating and then moving ahead when Mercury moves out of retrograde and back into direct motion.  We are not saying stop your plans to do or buy something. We suggest caution, however, if you are signing documents as the outcome may not go as planned.  Some challenges may interrupt the flow of things.

 

It is also important to know that those with Mercury retrograde in their birth charts may have more issues when Mercury is in retrograde by transit.  It should also be noted that Mercury must affect a planetary position or angle in your natal chart by no more than 3-4° of orb for it to have any type of effect in your chart. 

 

For example, if Mercury crosses your Sun in Gemini at 3° and your Mercury is retrograde in your birth chart, it will have an impact on your chart especially if Mercury conjuncts or is in opposition to this placement (the Sun in Gemini in our example).  Squares and Trines along with Sextiles have a lessor effect, and the energies will not be as bad as you might think they may be. 

 

Those individuals that do not have Mercury retrograde in their natal charts may experience nothing more than a minor setback, if at all, during Mercury’s retrograde cycle.

 

As a side note, all planets except for Saturn while moving through their retrograde cycle do not operate at full capacity.  Saturn, however, seems to operate with far less restrictions while in retrograde than it would in direct motion. 

 

The transits of Mercury and its retrograde motion are short lived as it moves quickly though the Zodiac. Mercury is neutral and needs stimulation. Use Mercury’s retrograde periods to plan and then act when Mercury goes direct. There is nothing to fear with Mercury retrograde.

OUTER PLANETS ARE INDICATING BIG CHANGES Part II

As mentioned on Monday, May 12, 2025, this is an astrology article which speaks of the outer planetary movement taking place now and in the near future. 

 

As mentioned yesterday, Pluto has already made this change moving from Capricorn into Aquarius and in the next coming months Neptune will move from Pisces into Aries, Uranus will move from Taurus into Gemini and Saturn will move from Pisces to Aries.  Jupiter will also move from Gemini into Cancer while the inner planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars) continue in their movement from sign to sign on a much more rapid pace.

 

During this time frame (which is over a period of about one year), Pluto will be in Sextile to Neptune, and Saturn and Trine to Uranus. 

 

Neptune will Conjunct Saturn, and Trine Uranus, and Saturn will also Sextile Pluto. 

 

These are all favorable aspects coming into play and this should indicate a time when the world goes through some transformational energies which hopefully will be widely accepted, and change will begin to unfold in a positive manner. 

 

We focused on Pluto and Neptune in yesterday and today we continue with Uranus and Saturn.

 

With Uranus moving into Gemini, which is a much more comfortable placement for Uranus being invigorating and pushes for the seeking of enlightenment. As a result of this transition into Gemini a door will be opening for us.  Clearer understanding is likely, as well as an awareness beyond what would be sought when Uranus was in Taurus.  Uranus ruled by Aquarius brings forth awakening energies which will push those in tune with their higher self and inner self. This should stimulate many others to awaken to the possibility of a newfound freedom that works equally for each and every one of us.

 

Saturn moving from Pisces to Aries will have similar effects of Neptune moving through Pisces. Neptune and Saturn will also connect by aspect and join forces beginning in May, 2025.  This should bring to the forefront proof, beyond reasonable doubt, that the mystical side of life is alive and well. There will, however, be a real push to make things practical and more credible perhaps embracing the understanding that there is much more to our existence than the everyday life of work, sleep and eat.

 

Hopefully these energies, working together in harmony, bring forth what is needed during these turbulent times. We likely will be able to begin focusing our helping mankind reach its potential as well as to clear up the unrest that our planet is currently experiencing. 

 

Our combined expectations, our preconceived notion of what is possible, our belief structures and focuses and our efforts together create our reality.

 

The outer planets indicating a big change on the horizon are Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. Utilize the energies and be open to the possibilities. Do what you can in your own little corner of the world as what unfolds may be quite pleasant and beneficial.
