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 !

2017 Venus Retrograde in Aries : Venus Underground

~ Sarah Murphy ~ 1 Comment

screen-shot-2017-02-18-at-9-12-00-am

“There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup” 

Don’t Dream Its Over – Crowded House

Venus the Goddess of Beauty, Love, Fun, Pleasure & Relationships, is about to make her trip to the mythical underworld; disappearing from sight for 40 days and 40 nights. Beginning on March 4th, this Astrological transit is sees our Goddess withdrawal from the public sphere and turn our lights inwards as we reflect on all things Venus  that are in our lives.

Venus retrogrades every 18 months, this time around the Venusian Voodoo is ending a cycle in Fire Signs.  Placed right at the turning point of the zodiacal cycle, Pisces & Aries. The point of Endings and Beginnings.  Venus turns retrograde on March 4th 2017 until April 15th 2017.

On her travels, Venus begins this cycle as an evening star,  being visible at night before disappearing from the night sky as it enters its retrograde. As Venus goes behind the Sun, She is said to be traveling down to the Underworld to have her baptism with Pluto/Hades or Lucifer in the Biblical retelling. Before re-emerging into the Night Sky as a Morning Star, visible again just before dawn.

Venus when retrograde is about about reflection, turning the light inwards and re-evaluating your own personal Venusian values and re working your Venusian Voodoo. As this retrograde is in Aries and Pisces, Aries and Pisces energy flavours it,  Pisces is the end of the zodiac cycle, Aries is the beginning of it. This Retrograde is about big endings and big beginnings.

These Venus Retrograde periods can be looked back on as being turning or flash points. Times to reflect rather than push forward blindly. When planets go backwards, they move back over aspects of your life, to rework and remould to help reintegrate a certain section of your life, to really solidify an individuals evolution.

Aries significators are : The Warrior, Fire, Passion, Creativity, The Individual, Personal Pursuit. The Aries part of your chart is your internal Spartian Warrior. As the retrograde slips back into Pisces, this internal Spartian Warrior becomes more reflective around internal spiritual pursuits, about the bigger picture. It evolves into a more mutable, more deep and transcendent experience.  Which will be very contary to how this retrograde kicks off.   The key thing is that things can’t be rushed or pushed, as it is a time of flux. It is not recommended as a time to do anything to you body that you can’t change back. i.e.: plastic surgery or tattoos.  Venus is aesthetics and Beauty.

Interestingly enough this Venus Retrograde in 2017 is occurring at the beginning of Lent, and goes direct on Easter Saturday at the last degrees of Pisces, the most spiritual and trancendant of all the signs. This free’s Venus to continue her journey to meet with Mars right on time with the resurrection.  Her meeting with Mars has been delayed since early February due to her slowing down to do her Venus Retro cycle.

The last time Venus Retro’ed in Aries  was in 9 March – 17 April 2009,  so look back to then for some clues into what could be coming up. Astrology is the study of cycles, and these cycles do repeat. Some more than others.

2017’s Venus Retrograde is very much a key thread in a very dynamic year. Fire Energy  dominates the year with the Venus Retro being one of the most self evolving parts of 2017. The Retrograde is part of a larger story that began in early February that will end in 5 October 2017. Venus spends the year trying to meet up with or conjoin with her partner/lover Mars.

The conjunction of Mars & Venus on October 5th,  is the meeting point that never quite happened in early February. This meeting of Mars and Venus never quite happened as Venus slowed down to begin this self reflective Retrograde transit we are about to enter. It is with new found knowledge and information that Venus moves forward to finally make contact with Mars in October.

Interestingly this Mars / Venus conjunction on October 5th 2017, is the date of the next Venus Retrograde, October 5th 2018 in the signs of Libra (ruled by Venus) & Scorpio (ruled by Mars in old astrology).  There are many stories and cross overs in Astrology and the story of Mars and Venus is perhaps one of the strongest ones.

Its a great time to revisit how these Venusian archetypes are working in your life, and whether they are serving you well.

THROUGH THE SIGNS 

ARIES – 1st house  The Story of how you reflect your Venus Values to the World is the Story of this transit. Taking time out to take stock and re-evaulate how you look and how you show your relationships to the world will be the main focus with this Transit. If you have your birthday in the last 2 weeks of March, this Venus Retro will go over your Sun and Venus Retrograde will recolour your egos core by re-evaluting how you present your Venus Voodoo to the World.

TAURUS – 12 house  Taurus will deal with its ruler going retro in its secret 12th house and the house that rules Pisces with a very personal and potentially solitary processing. Going deep into the personal sphere, potential re-wiring  your Venus Voodoo will strike a deep and healing cord. Its not easy when your ruler is retrograde as the experience is stronger. But a chance for deep healing of the solitary kind around Venus style issues will be the focus this time around, and it will be so good !

GEMINI – 11 house  Friends, Social Groups, Gatherings and Personal Hopes and Wishes  are the focus of this Venus Retro.  Things may slow down in this area as you re focus your relationship and involvements in such things. Venus loves to be Social but this retrograde may see this slow down in your social life, and seed new ideas. Taking stock taking around the above themes will see you out of the social spotlight for a bit. Think of its as a bit of time out to reconnect with 11th house themes.

CANCER – 10 house  Cancer peeps will see this Venus Retro hit their 10th house of  Career, Status and Achievement. Some of the rose coloured glasses focal point’s  may shift. The changing of focus to things that would benefit you more Individually & Spiritually being the spark that changes your focus. Which is all very Cancerian at the end of the day isn’t it.

LEO – 9 house  Leo finds it Venus Retrograde focus taking its time in its 9th house of Philosophy, Higher Learning and Travel.  A hankering for travel and engagement with places that might be slightly left field for a Leo in its thirst for adventure. The slow down might not be so fun, but the kick start after will be re-invigorating.

VIRGO – 8 house  Virgo is about to explore the merky depths of the 8th house with Venus shining her internal light on to psychological depths of the house of deep connection. Also the house of other peoples money -Taxes, Debt and Inherited Money. This Venus Retro will turn all these themes inwards for the Virgoan microscope to analyse. Deep subconscious states and interactions will be the theme du jour

LIBRA – 7 house  Like Taurus, having your ruler go backwards over areas that you thought were claimed in the House of your rulership (7 house)  makes this a potentially sticky Venus Retrograde. Nothing like having the double whammy of your ruling planet of Relationships going out of kilter in your home house of Relationships. The plan is to not fret ! Those that are meant to fall away, will fall away simple ! Don’t stress for mull over the hardship of imbalance. This phase will pass with a clearer road head after Easter.

SCORPIO – 6 house  Scorpio your work & health routines will be under assessment, nothing to drastic needs to be executed just yet. The acknowledgement and reassessment of these areas of life and how to infuse the Venus Voodoo is all you really have to recognise and do .. for now. Any action can be done post Easter.

SAGITTARIUS – 5 house  Venus Retro in your house of fun, creativity and children might feel like someone is raining on your parade. Don’t let this initial first impression put you off. Its all about channelling the philosophical shifts which is right up your ally and taking it to the higher vibe level. This is something that really resonates with the fun loving Sadge, It just might feel like a wet blanket at first but the shifts will allow you to unleash your awesome, post Easter.

CAPRICORN – 4 house  Capricorn loves Structure, they get off on it. The 4th house is the house of Home, Ancestors, Family and the Tribe. Structure and Strength generally doesn’t come more solid than that. With Saturn being the God of Karma, Saturn being Capricorns ruler a Venus Retro in the 4th House could see a more Empress or Goddess like vibe gracing your inner home or family life. Some A-ha moments, some nice reassessments or resolutions around the family and home would be a good manifestation of Venus Retro. Perhaps some ghosts of your former lives could pop up and say hi as this retro treads back in to Pisces. Either way its big re settings of cycles around Family, Home and your Ancestors, Former or the lives before that.

AQUARIUS – 3 house  Aquarius is a sign ruled by Mercury the Great Communication God Hermes.  Venus Retro in your 3rd house of Communication resonates with you. Looking at how you communicate and how that works with your relationships with others would be a good way to see this retro play out. Another way could be how you communicate your style aesthetics wise, as well as written and oral is a good use of this energy.  Either way try not to go the other way and loose your grace and tact when communicating when Venus does her dive into the underworld.

PISCES – 2 House  Pisces is part of the key areas of this retrograde. With people born in the the middle of March, having this Retro Venus going over there Sun. As this will be occurring in your 2nd house of Earned Money and Self Worth, this is a really good reset time for you. Venus Retro in your sign and over your Sun will see a reset of your own self worth internally. Its a really great and powerful way to kick start your year with some good inner ground work and soul searching, something Pisces does so well. Beware not to spend to much money on beauty products or on any impulse decision. It may not be the best idea post Easter. Up the self worth and try not to spend to much money on impulse pleasures ! The reward will be so much better after last April.

 

 

 

 

JUPITER IN LIBRA: Harmonising Balance

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment

screen-shot-2016-09-09-at-12-21-37-pm

” Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”   Albert Einstein 

Saturday 10th of September marks the ingress of Jupiter in to Libra after spending the last 13 months in Virgo. Jupiter in Virgo has seen the jovial expander and growth merchant apply to all things Virgoan; things such as work, daily routines & habits, health, body & body image.  Jupiter has enhanced, exaggerated or increased the focus of these things over the past year. Reflecting and reverberating in the area of life Virgo rules in your birth chart, which Jupiter was activating.

Jupiter in Virgo hasn’t always been easy as Jupiter is in detriment or simply is not completely comfortable in Virgo, it can’t expand as naturally as it would like. The 2 energies just don’t see things eye to eye. This shift into Libra finally sees Jupiter enter a sign that is receptive to Jupiter’s natural expansive behaviour, really gelling with Librian ideals of balance, harmony, relationships, creativity and artistry and justice. This should be a nice shift after the recent events such as Brexit and the refugee crisis. It will be interesting to see how these things are managed now Jupiter has ingressed in to Libra.

This shift of Jupiter is also happening at a time when other big cycles are completing. The much talked about Saturn / Neptune Square makes its final exact hit this week, with its final blast of either delusion busting or creative restructuring which began back in November 2015. This weekend also makes the mid-point of the last of the Virgo / Pisces Eclipses which is also a cycle in its ending. Eclipses are mass cleansing with its deep level affects taking up to 2 weeks – 6 months to manifest or reveal. All this whilst Mercury is retrograde in a sign it rules, Virgo !

Jupiter in Libra is fundamentally about harmony, balance,  justice, artistry and relationships. The expansion or exaggeration of these ideals in the area of life transiting Jupiter is hitting when it visits Libra in your chart is how this energy is interpreted.  Jupiter is the great gift giver, whether it be grounding or catapulting. Where Libra sits in your chart is the area of life that this Jupiter will grow with a Librian flavour.

Jupiter takes 12 – 13 months to transit a sign making it a  once in a 12 – 13 year cycle. The idea of these cycles is you grow and build from the last transit cycle 12 years ago and looking back to the last time Jupiter transited Libra is good to give you clues on what might be relevant or pertinent to you specifically.  The last two most recent Jupiter transits of Libra was October 11 1992 – Nov 10 1993 & September 25 2004 – October 25 2005, look to these time periods for clues as to what should be built.

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign. It’s a doer, its intellectual and it loves art, beauty and friendship. Moving on from Virgo’s focus on work, the body and day-to-day routine, this movement is looking to share this expansion with relationships with others and externalize the inner work  to an outer world and sphere. There is an element of pleasure and engagement with people, after all the day to day work done after its Virgo transit. With Jupiter in Libra its time to take creative buoyancy and enjoy the smoother waters of a more balanced energy when dealing with creativity and your presentation of self and your engagment with other in the outer sphere. This shift will be a real game changer as we step in to October and we feel a little more breathing space.

JUPITER IN LIBRA THROUGH THE SIGNS

ARIES / ARIES RISING

Jupiter will be activating your 7th house the natural home of Libra. Positive and helpful relationships with people will be fateful and fortuitous, with the potential to take a key relationship next level. As the 7th house also rules your ‘open enemies’ make sure you are always operating from your higher self and don’t get thrown if someone challenging you pops up ! It’s all in the name of self betterment and strengthening your relations with others and having a brilliant time while you’re doing it. Creative collaborations are blessed.

TAURUS / TAURUS RISING

Jupiter in your 6th house should see harmonious betterment in the areas of your daily routines, work and health routines. Having fun with your food, body image as well might pop up. This is a natural follow on from Jupiter in Virgo as Jupiter now hits Virgo’s natural home for you, however with the Librian influence things will be more harmonious and you will use your intellect to help push these things forward. You might also want to look at adding some sort of creative or artistic bent or element to you daily routine to max out this Jupiter in Libra influence.

GEMINI / GEMINI RISING

5th house focus of creative expression, true love and children (whether it be you have them or explore your own inner child) will be the focus of Jupiter for you this year. A bit like Taurus there is a big focus of creative expression for you. This will be a really pleasurable thing for you to explore or develop over this coming year. Libra has a strong artistic bent and the 5th house is the house of creativity for ego/self-expression and betterment. So do what ever really floats your boat that gives you an element of expression or creativity, Jupiter will really give you some satisfying rewards if you embrace it.

CANCER / CANCER RISING

Libra in Jupiter in the 4th house is all about home, family, origins and your deep roots. Things will be more happy and jovial around the home and some really lovely experiences or time will be well spent exploring or just simply enjoying this. This is a really nice gift for Cancerians as the 4th house is the natural home of your Cancer Sun. With Jupiter in Libra activating this area of your chart, it will be a really nice home-coming and lots of good foundations will be strengthened whist you have a grand old-time doing it !  This would be a great time to buy a home if you were in the market.

LEO / LEO RISING

Leo will have their 3rd house of communication, media, publishing and small trip activated. You will most likely be a voice of reason as Libra gives you the gift of the balancing gab over the next 13 months, something not always associated with Leo. Any small trips away will be good and l for you and you will perhaps find  new areas for your communication and expanding your methods of how you communicate.

VIRGO / VIRGO RISING

Chach Ching, after having Jupiter go through your 1st house of self and how you represent your self to the world, its time for the pay off !  2nd house Jupiter transits see you expand your sense of self-worth and financially see your pay increase. The 2nd house is all about your finances that you earn or create and your self worth. The next 13 months will be about you building a strong sense of self worth and increased income as Jupiter gives you gifts of work and insights that you didn’t see coming.

LIBRA / LIBRA RISING

1st house transit of Jupiter is all about you ! it’s all about your image, how you represent yourself to the world and how the world sees you ! Jupiter kind of likes to indulges so my only advice is watch the waist line it can quite easily expand with a who gives a fuq .. I’m enjoying myself to much to care ! Jupiter will give you a nice happy glow which will see others enjoy your company as you being your next full Jupiter cycle starting the outside ..before going in !

SCORPIO / SCORPIO RISING

The inner secret world of the 12th house will be expanded by Jupiter transit. The inner realm, the sanctuary of the inner space you create to rest in or create will be expanded and given the gifts of insight as Jupiter finishes its 12 yearly cycle around your horoscope. Whether you just take time out, pursue some spiritual practice or just do whatever internally makes you happy,  you will get great reward and benefits from this ! Scorpio likes to go deep so Jupiter lighting a light within the inner self with the more calming and balancing energy of libra applying will see this be a great little transit for insights and internally recalibrating.

SAGITTARIUS /SAGITTARIUS  RISING

Sagittarius is the natural ruler of Jupiter, so you know this energy well and for this year your ruler will be activating your 11th  house of friendships, community groups and goals and ambitions. Basically its going to be a great year for networking, seeing or creating new friendships and getting involved in any kind of social activism. These are all things the Libra loves and Jupiter there expanding them and creating brilliant opportunities for you to indulge in them, which will be a really nice thing. Just watch out you don’t party to hard ! Because Sadges do like to party !

CAPRICORN / CAPRICORN RISING

When Jupiter hits Libra in Capricorn 10th house you’re in your happy place ! the great gift giver and benefactor is activating your natural Capricorn sun’s home of Career, Status, Reward and Reputation. Libra a fellow Cardinal sign will give you some nice gifts as you have Pluto also transiting your sign but that’s a whole different story. Jupiter will offer rewards for all your hard work and killer job offer might be in the wings. Either way Jupiter will be activating in an area the you hold so very dear to your heart. And with Pluto transiting your chart, the rewards might be longer term.

AQUARIUS /AQUARIUS RISING

Jupiter will be making its way through its natural home for you this year Aquarius, its 9th house. Travel, Philosophy and Higher Learning will be highlighted for you and it would be a fantastic year to do any of the above. Jupiter is at home in the 9th house and any chance you get to travel, explore the nature of other cultures, higher thought processes or just high-end learning. You will be gifted many wonderful wow moments which will tie in to the natural interest you have for community, groups and social activism so any of the above pursuits would be well rewarded with light and internal growth.

PISCES / PISCES RISING

Pisces get the gift of exploration of your 8th house, an expansion and great opportunities for you to expand your deeper self. The 8th house is a magical house, a realm of deep psychological capacity, spiritually & sexually focused it also is the home of other people’s money ie: debt and taxes ! So you many be given the gift of a random windfall of a tax return or a great AHA moment if you choose to explore some of the metaphysical aspects of life, either way try not to let Jupiter’s tendency to expand to any debt ! This would be the less ideal way Jupiter could apply when transiting your 8th house ! Happy wandering

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturn in Scorpio – Saturn’s last blast back to the Underworld

~ Sarah Murphy ~ 1 Comment

Screen shot 2015-07-14 at 2.21.18 PM“Saturn comes back around to show you everything, Let’s you choose what you will not see and then Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again, Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.” Tool – The Grudge

Saturn’s Retrograde back into Scorpio on June 15th until September 2015 is the final stage of a transit that’s left most people emotionally exhausted and rinsed to put it mildly.

Saturn going through the dark depths of Scorpio over the past 2.5 years has seen many break up, downs and through’s in the areas of sex, psychology, external finances and esoteric beliefs.

All  the internal gunk we have been trying to avoid finally came spewing forward, the denials were no longer enough to contain it. We have realised through this transit the only way to get rid of this emotional gunk is to go through it and experience it, rather than skirt around it acknowledging it whilst waving thanks “I see you … but just stay over there!”

Saturn is a planet that gives structure by destroying all things that are not hurricane strength to allow deeper foundations to build on. Since this planet has been in Scorpio all things Scorpionic have firmly been in the firing line and Scorpionic things are not necessarily easy or straight-forward.

Saturn entered Scorpio on October 5th 2012 until 23rd December 2014.  Think back, what has changed, evolved or moved since then. Anything that has been evolving, changing or completely demolished since then, is what this final blast of Saturn is Scorpio is trying to finally integrate and finalise over the coming months, before pushes off for another 28 – 30 years.

People who have their Sun or personal planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars)  in Scorpio have been feeling the heat of the this Saturn transit over these planets the most. They would have felt a small reprieve when Saturn went in Sagittarius Dec 23rd 2014 until June this year, however since coming back for its final run, Saturn is  considered more potent. The best way to look at transits, is to look at how things unfolded in previous Saturn in Scorpio transits (Globally and Personally). It’s a good indicator about what Saturn in Scorpio is about.

The last time we had Saturn in Scorpio (November 29 1982 – November 1985), the AID’s crisis was in full swing and Safe Sex became the new catch phrase, people’s lives literally became dependant on it. Peoples attitudes towards Sex had to be transformed almost over night. During this current transit we have seen plenty of celebrity sex scandals, with a outing of many predatory figures being convicted of sex crimes. In the 1980s we also saw Capitalism in full swing, mass privatization, suddenly Governments around the world were selling state assets to private buyers changing how we view what is private and what is public Goods and Services. Currently we are still dealing with  fall out of the effects of the Global Financial Crisis, the current Greek financial crisis the last blast or culmination of the continued woes for the Euro as well as helping re-evaluating how a United Europe does business. Other people are certainly dictating other people (Greece’s) money. What is decided on for Greece will certainly dictate other similar scenarios in Europe for the near future.

This last phase of Saturn in Scorpio isn’t going to be easy but it will most certainly finish off what it started back in October 2012 and it will hopefully made you re-evaluate how you psychologically do things for the better over the next 28 – 30 years.  When Saturn moves into Sagittarius on the 18th of  September, there will be a collective sigh of relief but the changes that Saturn brought should allow you to have greater depth, conviction and make you psychologically stronger creating a solid platform to move forward from, with the large sigh of relief and mutterings of “thank god that’s over ! Seriously !”

Saturn in Scorpio through the Sun’s Houses & What is being Zapped 

Aries: 8th House of Sex, Psychology and Other People’s Money (Taxes, Inheritance etc)

Has there been a shift in who you choose to engage with (in a deeper emotional level) and have you made any psychological progression in how you process your needs and wants in life ? Has the process of dealing with other people’s money been more complicated with a bigger focus on compliance since 2012 ?

Taurus: 7th House of One on One Relationships with People, Personal and Business.

Could you have found the old irrelevant people have fallen away ? Are you looking at strengthening your one on one relationships with people and how you operate with them ?

Gemini: 6th House of Health and Daily Routines ie: Work and Service to others.

Have you found more blocks in the road, more things to juggle in how you go about your daily life and have you made smarter ways in making these things happen ?

Cancer: 5th House of Creativity, True Loves and Children.

Has there been a reassessment or strengthening of your creative foundations and what you truly love? Has there been a need to create firmer boundaries with any children in your life ? Could you have found that what you thought you loved has changed and morphed into something more solid and clearly definable then pre 2012 ?  Are you able to build on this more clearly ?

Leo: 4th House of Home, Ancestors, Roots and History.

Has your home life been more complicated and a struggle ? More barriers and rules or restrictions required to make things work better ? Has there been a change in the dynamic that requires more compliance and commitment to make things stronger and better ?

Virgo: 3rd House of Communication, Technology and Internet.

Have you had to simplify to make communication more effective and stronger ? Is the less is more approach more effective than pre 2012 ? Are all communications now requiring more thought processing before moving forward and stating your ideas, beliefs and concerns for more effectiveness ?

Libra: 2nd House of Personal Money and Self Worth.

So did that unexpected event rattle you enough to make you realise you ARE worth it and the only person who can really make you believe in yourself is YOU ? A bit of personal financial restructuring at the same time should create a “Voila” moment very shortly, if not a good base for you to finally expand on.

Scorpio: 1st House of How you Present yourself to the World and How the World sees YOU !

The complete overhaul of your identity and how you present yourself to the world is almost complete and integrated, Just wait until the pressure is off when Saturn goes into Sagittarius and you will feel it instantly. The hard slog was worth it !

Sagittarius: 12th  House of Private Space, The Inner you and Where you go to Retreat and Evolve and Develop.

This has helped prep you for Saturn going into Sagittarius in September when your own personal restructure and development will be there for the world to see, it will just be a work in progress until 2017 ! Don’t let the pressure get to you ! It will be worth it !

Capricorn: 11th House of Friends, Community and Hopes and Wishes.

So has Saturn made you re-evaluate your Friends and Communities giving you a satisfying space to move forward from ? All the deadwood is gone so now it will be time to swim with the dolphin instead of the sharks! Your Hopes and Dreams may have morphed a bit to since 2012 !

Aquarius: 10th House of Career Success, Achievements and Worldly appreciation.

The physiological transformation of what defines Career and Worldly Success is almost complete. There may have been some tough knocks along the way but once you begin to  pop out the other side in September you will know that the challenges were all worth it ! It’s a bit like turning Pro the harder way !

Pisces: 9th House of Philosophy, Religion, Travel, Different Cultures and Higher Education.

A bit like Aquarius the knock and the hard stuff will be worth it ! What you have learned from this Psychological churning will help adjust your philosophy as you dive into the next adventure knowing that your foundations and root beliefs both psychologically and philosophically are sound and solid IF you did the work and weren’t to busy helping everyone else out through their trauma’s
