Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity” – Roman philosopher Seneca

9 November 2018 – 3 December 2019 – Jupiter in Sagittarius.

On the 9th of November 2018, Jupiter King of the Gods returns to his home sign of Sagittarius (The Archer), for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter cycles are yearly cycles with a reputation of creating lucky opportunities in the areas of life, that this planet transits in your birth chart.

Jupiter returning home to Sagittarius in 2018, will be the break in the astrological weather we have been working so hard to reach, after universally speaking,  a very trying year. Think back to 12 years ago, or 24 years ago to see what happened then, for hints of what could pop up this time around  (2006 / 2007 or 1995 / 1996). This is a cycle of optimism and expansion, but even more so, when Jupiter returns home to the sign of its rulership.  Jupiter in Sagittarius ! What can go wrong?  I mean we are talking the king of the gods here.

So what changes ? Buoyancy, Optimism, Faith, Movement, Travel, Luck, Creativity, Passion and a Willingness to Learn and Understand;  suddenly gets bolstered in the Astrological frame-work. 2018’s Yin year has been a VERY internal and different year in comparison to the 2 previous Yang (expansion) years.

2018 has seen a plethora of challenging retrograde’s.  Mercury Retrograding in Fire signs who are proficient in accelerating mis-understandings has also creating some pretty fiery reactions / communications in return. Mars was given a bolster by its transit in Capricorn the sign that its strongest in aside from its ruler – Aries.  Mars then retrograded in Aquarius, for the first time since 1970, before turning direct on the exact point of its strength 28 degrees of Capricorn. Literally the worst possible time for the Liberals to axe Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull (results from that are due in 2019). Mars Retrograde, left most of the rest of us floundering, all this work for no progress or movement forward, or strange left field obstacles coming from nowhere to challenge or block your energy and power.  Once Mars went direct – Venus decided to go Retrograde in Scorpio, which is basically all about digging through all the sludge and diving deep into the sewers to unblock the blockages, blockages we  really didn’t want to venture down into. Jupiter, our dear friend Jupiter is also in Scorpio amplifying this Venus retrograde by being in Scorpio. And yes here we are…

Jupiter moving in to Sagittarius will be the 3rd planet to be in its sign it Rules, This makes for some powerful and potentially corrective Astrology. Neptune is in Pisces for the first time in 164 years is half way through its transit.  Saturn in Capricorn for the first time in 28 years, is in its first quarter of its transit,  Now Jupiter is entering Sagittarius for the first time in 12 years, to lift the spirits with a healthy dose of positivity and buoyancy. These are all external / macro / social or societal planets, they are heavy hitters. They take YEARS to move around the birth-chart. They offer big shifts in psychic, situation and circumstances. These planets can alter paths by creating opportunities for change. Pluto the head transformer, is not in its rulership in Capricorn but it is pretty much near exultation in Capricorn, so can be also linked by association. Pluto in Capricorn & Jupiter in Scorpio have been very good transits to help expose the poison.

So what happens when Jupiter hits Sagittarius ? Optimism, Speculation, Faith, Fun, Exuberance, Passion and Enthusiasm, Exapansion. All great key words here, but the key to being successful in a time of Jupiter in Sagittarius, is to be MEASURED. Sometimes this transit can lead to blind optimism, blind faith or an over exertion of enthusiasm ESPECIALLY after difficult or more challenging times. Jupiter loves to celebrate and party and so does the sign of Sagittarius, but the very important measure for the next year is to be MEASURED. Would your bigger decisions hold up in a time of austerity ? Money is very important to watch with Jupiter in Sagittarius, as there is a tendency to be overly jovial and over extend with it, it might come easily, but it is just as likely to go easy as well.  Waistlines another thing that are physical manifestations of a Jupiter in Sagittarius cycle, due to its tendency to lead to living life-like an Emperor, 365 day a year.

Jupiter going into Sagittarius IS  a wonderful time to expand Travel, Study, Be Social, Interact and get involved in pursuits that interest you !  Learning, Education, Traveling, Positive Mindset, Connecting with Friends and Family as well an increased level of Faith with regards to any of the above are positive manifestations of this Jupiter Cycle.  It’s a blessed year of opportunity and positive gains as long as Recklessness doesn’t come into the equation, or overly zealous dogma, as Jupiter is just as likey to expand this along with  other manifestations.

Finally its time to celebrate the gains we have made and processed in 2018 ! At the time of this shift, we will also see the Nodes of the Moon move from Leo / Aquarius into Cancer / Capricorn for 18 months. This sees a move in the eclipse cycles and moves the focus of the nodes aka destiny points. Cancer (Home, Mother, Nurture, Ancestors, Family) see the North Node (a pushing forward, a consuming of things that nourish or nurture these themes) while the South Node ( the letting go of and releasing) of theme to do with Status, Power, Position and Acclaim. This Nodal shift also sees more pressure put on this axis which already has Saturn and Pluto transforming and reconstructing Capricorn themes of Power, Status and Government.  Jupiter in Sagittarius really is a last gasp of a chance of fresh Philosphy,  fresh Passion and Creativity before it moves in Capricorn late 2019, leading us into the very potent time of 2020.

If there is a time to party and celebrate, Jupiter in Sagittarius is it. And Hey ! It’s just in time for Summer in the Southern Hemisphere ! It might feel a bit slow to begin with as Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius for the first 3 weeks, but come December – its time to free yourself from the lessons of 2018, and burn off some steam by becoming passionate and involving yourself in life and all its sweet offerings !  Chances are there will be a nice little surprise along the way to sweeten the ride. For People with  Sagittarius Sun, Moon or Ascendant, it’s a fresh new start as Jupiter crosses over these points of their chart.  Saturn’s 3 year transit of Dec 2014 – Dec 2017, was an astrological   hammering. The hard work, loss of faith and rebuilding from this time, will be clearly seen during this Jupiter in Sagittarius transit, as you turn a new leaf for a new 12 year cycle. Giving Sagittarian’s the one thing that is most important to them, Optimism and Joy for the great things to come.

Jupiter in Scorpio: Pleasure & Conquests

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment
Screen Shot 2017-09-21 at 1.03.53 pmImage by Mario Sorrenti

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

Lord Byron

Jupiter, King of the Gods, the planet we look to when we wish to create more abundance in life is moving signs !  the great benefic moves from Libra to Scorpio on October 11th 2017 for a 12 month transit of Scorpio.

After a year in Libra, the sign of balance, harmony, justice, art and aesthetics  – Jupiter will enter Scorpio – the sign that likes to dig deep into the watery depths of ones psychology, subconscious & shadowside. Accelerating our growth from the 2012 – 2015 era.  This journey has the potential to reach the great depths of our psyche, creating the right opportunities for long-term & positive change. Analysing and working towards ditching our long-term negative habits will suddenly become very enticing.

After a year trying to smooth-out relations with people, along with  issues of balance, around the collective and the individual; Jupiter in Libra hasn’t always been an easy ride. Uranus the planet of Surprise and Rebellion opposed this Jupiter Libra from Aries. The sign of the Individual (Aries) challenged this attempted growth of Libran Ideals.  Ideals of balancing the collective wasn’t so easily obtained.  Pluto the planet of Transformation and regeneration (after the death of old ways of being), also squared this Jupiter in Libra from Capricorn. As much as Jupiter in Libra wanted to expand its liberating and collective ideas, to balance out the fiery energy that dominated the year, there were challenged to it.

Jupiter, when it shifts in to Scorpio will be the first shift into a new era.  All this intense unpredictable fire energy that has dominated the past 2 years, will finally cool off.  The planets move into more Earth and Water dominated signs.  Jupiter into Scorpio is the first step towards the cooling off period.  We will see more stability, conservatism and a slower pace of evolution. This shift will have deeper and more lasting effects. The pace will also slow right down. Accelerated growth will be replaced with more planned and considered evaluation and evolution.

Jupiter takes 12 years to go around the Zodiac, Jupiter cycles are seen as being healthy for development, growth, joy, excitement and optimism, The only real issue with Jupiter energy is to make sure you don’t over extend yourself or get to ambitious and over commit. Jupiter loves to say yes to every opportunity !

The last time Jupiter was in Scorpio was late 2005 – 2006. It’s best to look back to this time to see what was expanded, inflated or a source of joy for you at this time to understand what this next Jupiter cycle might entail or what can be built on this time around.

This upcoming transit of  Jupiter in Scorpio will be a nice healing transit for all the muck that was raked and plowed up with Saturn’s transit of Scorpio of October 2012 – December 2014 & Mid 2015.  When Saturn progressed in to Scorpio for 2.5 years, all things to do with Personal development and your inner psychology was under the microscope. Muck was raked around and anything that was not benefiting you or anything past its used by date was deconstructed.

It was a long and slow arduous process of digging deep into the emotional dirt to see what diamonds could be plucked, and anything not required taken away, whether you agreed to it or not.  This Saturn transit was about letting go of things that didn’t work to create better, bigger, stronger foundations to build on.

Now that Jupiter is coming back over this terrain,  it’s a little blessing and a small give back for all the hard work that was done in this 2012 – 2015 era.  Jupiter is the light and the fertiliser to allow the seeds from this time to grow and sprout after having 2 years of incubation, hidden from view.

So what are these Scorpio-esque ideas that I speak of ?  What will Jupiter be allowing its growth and expansion to really hook into ? Scorpio is ruled by Pluto – god of the underworld. The great transformer. Scorpio is the Death card in the Tarot, representing new life after the death or passing of an old life or way of being. Scorpio is the sign that rules Psychology, Complexity, Shadow Work, Therapy especially psychotherapy, Magic & The Esoteric, The Intuition, Emotions, Emotional Complexities, Compassion and Deeper Connections with People at large. It’s about understanding more of your own and other people’s patterns and innate processes. Moving deeper than the superficial. Scorpio is all about deeper levels of Understanding of yourself and others as well as the world around you.  Jupiter is here to expand this and take it to the next level of development. It’s the rewards of all the hard work done a few years back.

To complement this transit, Uranus the Planet of Surprise, Rebellion, Innovation and Revolution will change signs into Taurus in 2018. Taurus an earth sign will give stability to this Jupiter transit in a Water Sign.   Saturn, the planet of Structure and Karma also moves into Capricorn in December 2017 beginning a 2.5 year transit in Capricorn its ruler. Uranus and Saturn moving into Earth signs will be creating a strong structure for this Jupiter transit so it can be deeply submerged  into, safely. As the outer planets move into Earth based signs it creates more support and structure allowing this Jupiter in Scorpio transit to progress without the fiery challenges that were faced with its Libra transit.

Now is the chance to re-activate and find joy within exploring the depths of self discovery and development. Jupiter in Scorpio will bequeath many gifts, in a safe and more structured environment. Never was there a more safe and secure time to really go deep into the esoteric meaning of yourself and the world around you !

Jupiter in Scorpio through the Signs

 

Scorpio / Scorpio Rising

Scorpio congratulations you have Jupiter the great giver of gifts transiting your 1st house. The house of how people see you ! How you present to the world. This is the beginning of a whole new 12 year cycle ! things are now on the up. Things feel new ! The opportunities are there to be seized. Things just feel good and buoyant ! Now is a great time to do things that help you present better to the world ! Yoga might be a great thing to get into. Its got some great esoteric knowledge and base spirituality that would resonate with you naturally and it also helps with health and fitness ! The only down side of Jupiter going through the 1st house. There is a possibility of putting on weight. Why ? Because you really connect with the pleasure of life, and in doing so eating and drinking too much (a very Jupiterian thing to do) might see you waist line extend !! This year is your year and people will notice it !

Sagittarius  / Sagittarius Rising

Sagittarius, your ruler Jupiter will be transiting your 12 house of your inner self and your subconscious. The 12 house is also associated with your secret self ! It may be weird to have something so personal and so much internal processing for someone who is usually so expressive and extrovert ! However this is the last year of a 12 year cycle that is closing. Saturn the planet of restriction has also been in your sign for 2.5 years, its only a few months away from moving into Capricorn. The upshot is now you’re getting used this heavy restrained Saturn energy, Jupiter in Scorpio will come along to expand your connection to yourself in its deepest and most personal space. It’s a great finale or final prep, before you explode back into the world a year from now, ready, hungry to show the world all your new-found knowledge. The last piece of this puzzle is to do the inner work before a new 12 year cycle begins a year from now. Time to get rid of the habits that really hold you back and let you down. Really work shop that inner psyche of yours and dig deep to find out what jewels you really want to bring to the surface and present to the world next year. The rest can just be let go !!

Capricorn / Capricorn Rising

Capricorn, Jupiter in Scorpio is about to expand your 11th house of groups, communities and your hopes and wishes. Jupiter will bring the spot light to who and how you engage with on a community and group level. Do these people and places really speak to you on the deepest level. Does it all really give you the gifts you really seek ? What dreams, hopes and wishes do you really have for yourself ? Are they status symbols or do they better your higher spiritual self ? As Saturn enters your sign in December 2017, returning home, there will be an analysis of what structures you need to achieve the success and desires you really want. Jupiter in Scorpio is asking are you, are aiming high enough and is this really what you truly desire, if so, are you hanging with the right people. If not, Jupiter in Scorpio will help you find your tribe to make those dreams really possible.

Aquarius / Aquarius Rising

Aquarius has the Jupiter mega rays pointing at your 10th house of Status, Career and Public Recognition. Scorpio in Jupiter will ask you to go a little deeper with your ambition and whether it really serves you. Anything insincere may not take off, but it is a great time to look at the theses topic, what they mean to you and your ambition. Are you striving for Status, Success and Recognition for yourself ? Or is it the vision of another ? There is a very high chance that you will gain the above but your psychology and how and what happens when you do achieve these things, this is where the Scorpio-sonic rays may penetrate the most.

Pisces / Pisces Rising 

Pisces will be very comfortable with Jupiter in Scorpio ! It’s familiar with the deep emotional seeking that might come with it. The 9th House looks at higher eduction, and philosophical searching and seeking, travel is also associated with the 9th House. Jupiter in Scorpio will be an amazing time for any of the following activities for Pisces who gel with the Scorpio vibe, once they gets past the commitment issues. Any kind of teaching, or learning, any kind of travel which involves connecting with a foreign culture and understanding it more intimately than a 2 week stay at a beach resort is what this transit offers. The 9th house is the natural home for Jupiter so it won’t take much for the sparks to fly and connect. The real question is are you ready to commit to buying the ticket and taking the ride ! If so the rewards could potentially change the way you see the world.

Aries / Aries Rising

Aries this year transit of Scorpio in its house of its rulership the 8th house, is a real double whammy of connecting with the Scorpio vibe. Aries, the leaders of the individual and independent, will have a great opportunity to connect with others in a very deep emotional and connective setting. Something that doesn’t necessarily jump out to Aries, there is a real opportunity to create deep and lasting bonds. The 8th house also relates to other people’s money. Money that you don’t earn, but money that is from a 3rd party/source that you can be connected to. Tax, Inheritance, loans etc. It is possible you will be able to access or you get some additional money out of the blue from some of the above areas. An assessment of how you engage with money and the world is also a great area for thought and looking at any dependencies around this. Overall its a brilliant time to go deep with how you merge with others in the most intimate settings ! Money may also be a background theme. The magic will be in the discovery.

Taurus / Taurus Rising 

Taurus with Jupiter in Scorpio hitting your 7th house of relationships, in your opposite sign of Scorpio, you will be pushed to really go deep, into HOW you engage with your relationships. Your interactions with people will need to push past the superficial contacts that you thought would do. You will be asked to look at things that you naturally might be more resistant to, as it opposes your nature. Things that you thought might do will might not cut it and you begin to sense it. Your growth in this area will be invaluable as you seek a deeper purpose for who your friends and what your key relationships are worth and built on. The psychological analysis of what you want from people and what they want from you becomes your new hobby and you take on some attributes of your opposing sign. This will alter your ego as this Jupiter in Scorpio transit will at some stage oppose your Sun. Think of it as strengthening or water slowly carving and moulding things that you have always been very firm on. Making a more agile and attractive shape.

Gemini / Gemini Rising

Gemini, your day-to-day rituals and your work and daily life routines will be asking for more magic.  Your day-to-day routines, will be pushing you to seek magic and connections in a way that you previously never really seeked or thought was necessary. It’s a great time to add a bit more of a ritualist aspect to your day to day life. It will become obvious something is missing from your day. What this is will be your souls mission to seek out. Whatever it is, it might not be light and fluffy. Deep stimulation and a psychological connection to something deep and meditative may come out of nowhere. It could be gym time, it could be guided mediation time, either way whatever it is, it will add deep value to your day to day life.  You will be adding something that really nurtures you on a spiritual level.

Cancer / Cancer Rising 

Cancer, your 5th house of creativity will be the focus of this transit. how you express yourself creatively will be tied to your emotional and psychological wellbeing. You know how to go deep, you are intuitive and you are emotive. You are a Cancer a cardinal water sign, the leader of the water signs. Creativity and how you express yourself creatively and what you truly love will be the focus of  psychological analysis. You will begin to   mine for diamonds, amongst all the emo sludge. Something that you may have a little of bit of fear around might be the golden tickets. Bringing this Diamond to the surface and adding it into your creative life is what this transit will call for.  Children and working with Children might also bring you great joy and expansion.

Leo / Leo Rising

Jupiter will transit your 4th house of home, family, roots, ancestors and physical housing.   Potentially a great time to buy a house (if you’re not overextending yourself financially) or your time spent at home will give a lot of pleasure to you on this journey inwards. Connections to your physical family or your ancestors are a wealth of knowledge and support, you may end up connecting with them in ways you have never done before. It’s an amazing time for getting into house witchery ! Fung Shui’ing the hell out of your house or using any kind of magical ways to connect with your physical home space work really well !! Denise Linn has a few good books about this if you wanted to explore more, or the book of Hygge if you prefer something lighter.

Virgo / Virgo Rising

Jupiter in Scorpio hits your 3rd house of communication / publishing and siblings. How you communicate to yourself and the people around you is really the focus of this transit. You may end up coming across on a much deeper level than before. Any publishing or internet communications may get picked up by people or what you are putting out there really connects with people on a very deep level. Your words resonate ! Your connections with your siblings if you have them may deepen. The only thing you need to be aware of is that you don’t come across to sharp or sting too much ! Scorpio has a well renowned tail that can bite, especially with its communication.

Libra / Libra Rising

Libra’s experience of this Jupiter transit as it moves into its 2nd house of Finances and Self Worth, will be rewarding. Yes you may find an upswing in work or your finances that flows in quite easily. To really get the most of this transit, it’s about developing your self-worth. Plucking out all the dead daisies that don’t represent who you really are, or the things that don’t serve your high self. What does this mean ? Developing your self-worth, getting rid of the dead wood through therapy (any kind that resonates with you, even if it feels a bit woo at first !) Yes your income may have some good little upswing but the real magic of this transit for you and going deep into the murky depths of your subconscious and your psychology to really pluck out those gems that make your self worth sky-rocket. The rest can go ! It is then you find the real value of yourself and your worth !

Jupiter into Virgo – Making Hay While the Sun Shines

~ Sarah Murphy ~ 1 Comment

Screen shot 2015-08-06 at 7.27.17 PM“Every 12 years Jupiter returns to the same position in the sky; every 370 days it disappears in the fire of the Sun in the evening to the west, 30 days later it reappears in the morning to the east…”[Observation in 4th century B.C.] — Gan De   Chinese astronomer who was one of the earliest to make observations on Jupiter recording them with dates and coordinates.

August 11th 2015, marks Jupiter’s movement into Virgo after a year in fiery Leo. As observed in 400 BC by Chinese astronomers, Jupiter moves through the signs every 12 – 13 months, completing its cycle every 12 years. Jupiter is the great benefactor, the gift giver, the lucky one, the planet of expansion, growth, good fortune, jovial magic and blessings. Wherever your Jupiter transit is happening  things are just easier, good opportunities come to you, whether you see them or not !

The last time Jupiter went into Virgo was 31st August 2003 – 26th  September 2004. You are now looking at being able to build on and expand on the opportunities given to you at the time, 12 years prior. What happened back then ? Can you see how you might be able to expand on events from or that began back then?

Virgo, an Earth sign is all about Work and the Body.  Service to work and how you look after your body to be of service and work. In Astrology these things are linked – they can’t be separated. Without looking after you body you can not work. Food, health, routines, attention and analysis to your service to work are the underling themes with this Jupiter in Virgo transit. Are theses routines healthy ? Do they serve you ? Do you need to change anything for greater benefit ?

If you have any planets in Virgo or its hitting any important points in your chart, the focus will be great (whether you choose it or not !) . You will be given the opportunity to grow or really be blessed with choice or great opportunities in certain areas over the next year. When Jupiter is around great opportunities seem to just fall from the air !

Pluto aspecting Jupiter’s move through Virgo augments it or gives it more oomph. Since Pluto will be trining from Capricorn (another work based sign focusing on status and achievement) this idea of being able to transform your working environment and life will be given more support to allow this process to happen in a smoother way, with more punch.

In old Astrology Jupiter aspecting Pluto like this is said to be the mogul transit. Great power and achievements can be made when Pluto the planet of Transformation and Regeneration (phoenix from ashes, snakes shedding skins type stuff) is making a positive aspect to Jupiter (good luck and expansion) in the sign of daily work and health.

The last time Jupiter was in Virgo it had Uranus making a difficult aspect from Aquarius, making this Jupiterian expansion turbulent with sometimes volatile changes making the Jupitarian vibe harder to access. This time around it’s not the case. Don’t be surprised if you see the economy pick up, more benefits coming towards you in the work environment. Jupiter is a strong energy, he is in mythology the God who ruled over all the other Gods ! The saying “By Jove” to express surprise and excitement, and the word Jovial come directly from Jupiter and his lucky reputation as a giver of gifts and happy times. He is a powerful figure and is very much about you & society. Jupiter governs the individual and the world, and the relationship of the two.

Now is a really good time to get into some more healthy practises for your body, aim or looking at achieving new goals at work as well working on areas that make you anxious (Virgo can be an anxious energy) healthy (physical and psychological) self-mastery is really the key here. A bit like the 7 & 8 of pentacles in Tarot.

On its lower end energetically beware of nervous and anxiety being more apparent, stress of work being manifested with illness in the body, manipulation of alcohol or things you put IN your body (using what you put in your body to control other stresses ) these are all very indicative of an unhealthy manifestation of the Virgo energy. With Jupiter coming into play, these things can become more overwhelming and expansive.

Jupiter into Virgo this August 11th is a wonderful time to sit down and look at what goals you might want to achieve in the area of work and health as your more likely to get them  ! Write them down, analysis them, think practically the steps you might have to take to get them. Earth energy loves to be practical, solid, grounded, pragmatic, logical. Virgo gets off on analysis and this transit might allow you to as well.

Jupiter isn’t about sitting on your ass and waiting for it, its more like if you steer your ship into the new direction you want to achieve,  Jupiter will make the sailing all the smoother and easier, with the antidote “your ship is about to come in” being tres on point for this golden jovial jupitarian transit. Now is the time to go forward’s and conquer, as the king of the gods and the great beneficent is bestowing new blessings for you to work with, for the first time in 12 years.

Jupiter in Virgo through the Signs

Virgo – 1st House:  How you present yourself to the World, Your Identity.

You will be looking at people recognising you for your talent in the work place, all your hard work will be paying off as people finally applaud and recognise all the work you have done, this becomes good way to see your identity and ego expand (Just don’t go OTT). A new look, a new vibe and new you.

Libra – 12th House : Secrets, The Hidden, Your Inner World.

This is a good time and opportunity to use that Virgoan trait of analysis and self bettering improvement in the area of your life around the inner you (your mind – sub conscious – the hidden – the mystical and spiritual) by analysing your subconscious, your shadow side more could see great opportunity to know thy self more for greater gains when you pop out the other side in a years time. This will prep you for September 2016 when Jupiter enters your sign and its your time to shine and show the world a new you. This jupiter transit allows you to get growth in doing the work behind the scenes, under the radar, without the world watching. Inner healing is the key.

Scorpio – 11th House – Friends – Groups – Community groups – Hopes and Wishes.

Is an area of great fulfillment and growth, as long as you pay attention to  your work habits and watch you don’t go on a permanent year bender with it all.
