GROWTH AND EXPANSION SET ABLAZE !!!

Jupiter - the benevolent planet representing growth, the law, beliefs, ethics, expansion, opportunity, wealth, faith, higher education, travel, religion, philosophy, joy, goodwill, excessive behavior and down right luck - re-entered and began its complete transit through the highly driven, fiery, creative, courageous and initiative oriented sign of Aries early this afternoon, 1/22, at 12:11 PM EST... the opportunity for growth and expansion through new beginnings is now ablaze !!! ... since it was last summer, June 6th to be exact, that it began its initial transit through Aries, here is a review of what we can expect :

Jupiter in Aries is often heroic, sometimes militant, very generous, given to executive ability and a talent for leadership, and has a strong drive for freedom of personal actions ... one can learn from past errors and profit from them ... there could be innovations in the areas of philosophy, education and spiritual endeavors ... one must guard against "me-first" tendencies and channel this energy into ways to inspire and help others ... one must also guard against being rash, impetuous, willful and trying to convince others that your "truth" is the absolute and only truth ...

The highest expression of Jupiter in Aries is a pure, creative spirit from where everything else is manifested ... the phrase "Behold I make all things new" is the spiritual implication made with this energy ... there is an enduring faith here in the possibility of regeneration and rebirth yielding a better way of life ... the faith bestowed through this energy is the unwaivering ability to overcome and "to become" giving the courage to embark on large scale endeavors that would not be attempted by others ... another highly appropriate phrase for this energy is "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" given the highly driven energy to make things better ... the caveat of this highly driven energy is carelessness and overconfidence yielding losses in business and friendships, along with a urge for impulsive spending and wasting of investment resources ...

The essence of Jupiter in Aries is growth and expansion through doing !!! ... action, assertion and self-expression are valued ... beliefs are based on personal experience ... one may idolize doing their own thing, pioneering and independence ... realistic self-confidence can enhance leadership skills and yield growth through confidently doing ones own thing ... the child-like enthusiasm and faith can take one far in life ... the basic principle of faith here is that Life supports those who actually live it ... what is important is that one gets things going and ensures that others will keep them going while they continue to keep leading onward ... this energy likes active occupations, travel, forward-thinking people, and optimism ... it dislikes people who just sit around, being household bound, dead-ends, pessimism and those who are not stout hearted ... the energy of Jupiter in Aries can be expressed in the following ways:

POSITIVE: crusading, exhorting, adventurous, aspiring, enthusiastic, honorable, generous, thinking big, enterprising, unshakable, innovative, self-sufficient, carefree, noble

NEGATIVE: self-righteous, bullying, overbearing, high-handed, over-optimistic, ill-prepared, rash, naive, gives only to impress, extravagant, boastful, over-confident, stubborn, careless

Ones ability to overcome even the most devastating problems can give rise to new ideas and new found strength ... what inspires one is where they are going and in turn what inspires others is how you choose to get there even through all the hard knocks and falls !!!

Aries born, this is your time where growth, expansion, illumination and down right luck could possibly come your way - keep your eyes and ears open along with your mind to the vast array of possibilities you may encounter ... you are now being encouraged and infused with a sense that the time has come to get up and bust a move !!! - this added opportunity won't be back around for 12 years once the transit is over this summer !!! ... and don't forget that, with Jupiter in the picture, there usually is a guardian angel sitting on your shoulder !!! ... Sagittarian born Sun signs, Moon signs, and Ascendent born - like yours truly !!!! - we may also really feel this energy since Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius and thus means we are being tested with new energy to either express our ego, connect with our emotional side in a different manner, or project ourselves more confidently and/or aggressively out into the world for all to see !!!

Jupiter remains in the sign of Aries until June 4th ... we've already experienced a taste of what this energy is about and can manifest with Jupiter being in Aries last summer from June 6th through September 9th ... so now is the time to be truly open and inspired to action and new projects that will provide personal growth and forward movement not only for yourself  but others as well ... just remember that Uranus will soon be transiting Aries along with Jupiter, so proceed with caution and be warned - don't move too far too fast !!! ... and let's all certainly say a collective prayer that Jupiter in Aries is used positively to further growth for mankind rather than fueling useless and destructive agressive energy resulting in wars - especially once Uranus enters the picture in March !!!
