JUPITER
- planet representing growth, the laws, belief and ethics, expansion,
opportunity, wealth, faith, higher education, travel especially long distance,
religion, philosophy, joy, goodwill, as well as excess and extravagance -
completed its retrograde journey on Monday, 5/9, at 8:16 AM EDT resuming forward motion at 13 DEGREES 15
MINUTES VIRGO ... while Jupiter has been retrograde since January 7th of this year, we
have all been rethinking and reviewing our growth and expansion and determining
whether or not it may have gone too far too fast and needed some adjustment ...
during this period we all have hopefully experienced some kind of internal
growth and have been preparing for opportunities that may now become available
as Jupiter has stationed back into direct motion ... now is the time to finally
determine whether or not what is being offered is something that you truly want
and whether or not it will positively promote personal and spiritual growth, or
is something that is merely stroking your ego ... Just remember though we are still currently in a double personal planet retrograde, that being both Mercury and Mars, so be careful about moving too fast with new opportunities first until May 22nd when Mercury completes its second retrograde journey for 2016 and second until June 29th when Mars completes its retrograde journey for 2016 ... I know it seems like a long time to put things on hold, but now is an excellent time to do your research and prepare to move forward when the planetary energy is in a more beneficial period of support for your endeavors !!!
This Jupiter retrograde period occurred from 23 DEGREES 14 MINUTES VIRGO back to 13 DEGREES 15 MINUTES VIRGO ... if you've had a natal chart done you know where these degrees fall, and the areas of life ruled by the house our houses involved are most likely where situations had gone too far in an effort to produce growth and expansion, and had to be addressed and adjustments made ...
Sagittarius born individuals, it is time for you to come out of your "hibernation period" and begin moving forward once again - but perhaps for now best to take "baby steps" until the previously mentioned retrograde periods end and especially as Mars is retrograde in your birth sign until May 27th !!! ... so where did you receive illumination and enlightenment and what have you been busy reviewing and rethinking in your lives since January 7th??? ... what is it that you really want, and what is it that is simply excessive and unnecessary for personal and spiritual growth and expansion ... and we all should have been doing that on some level of our lives ...
Jupiter has now resumed forward motion to complete its transit through the sign of Virgo ... Jupiter was last in Virgo from August 27th, 2003 through October 25th, 2004 - what was going on in your life back then ??? ... below is a reminder of how this highly optimistic planetary energy has the potential to express itself while transiting through the sign of Virgo :
Jupiter began its transit through Virgo back on August 11th, 2015, and even though Jupiter is frequently referred to as the "great Benefic" and will
certainly have some very positive effects during this transit, Jupiter is
considered to be in detriment in Virgo as that means it is in the sign opposite
of the one it rules which is Pisces - well, sort of ... Jupiter was technically
considered the ancient ruler of Pisces because way back when, Neptune had not
been discovered yet, and Jupiter had been given rulership of both Sagittarius
and Pisces which makes sense as one sign, Sagittarius governs the higher mind,
beliefs, philosophy and religion, and Pisces governs the mystical, the visionary
and spiritual matters ... also, Jupiter is usually least comfortable operating
in an earth sign as it will have the tendency to limit and confine Jupiter's
expansive qualities and abilities ... earth signs tend to be more of a
practical, tangible nature which challenges Jupiter's desire to explore the
higher planes of existence ...
Jupiter in Virgo will make sure that no opportunity is wasted ... it is
organized, practical and receives great pleasure when efforts made produce
concrete results ... it gives a cautious, practical and scientific outlook on
life ... it can produce a fine intellect from the added concentration and focus
... it yields the ability to gain cooperation from others ... it sets high
standards in whatever it does ... it produces natural scholars who must watch
the tendency to expect too much from others ... cleanliness and order are of
great importance ... integrity in detail is a must ... religious and moral
beliefs are usually based on the concept of service ... it believes in hard work
... honesty and integrity are very important in work and business, and congenial
relationships with co-workers, employees and employers are valued ... with the
great urge to give detailed consideration, one must learn to get help from
others as well as delegate responsibilities in order to avoid overwork and the
incorrect treatment of some aspect of projects being undertaken ... there can be
an increased interest in service and charitable pursuits that are associated
with physical and mental health in hospitals and educational institutions ...
there could be analytical interests in geography, botany, philosophies, higher
education and religion ... any area of work will benefit from the ability to
take account of the details - without getting lost in them - and then
successfully placing them into a broad overview that presents a completed
picture ... through ones work ethic and service to others, their philosophical
and spiritual horizons are expanded ...
Jupiter in Virgo has challenges ... one of the biggest is being unable to
"see the forest for the trees" as Jupiter is all about expansion and the big
picture while Virgo is extremely focused on the multitude of details ... Jupiter
is amplification and elaboration and Virgo is precision and perfection ...
worries tend to get magnified and confidence is not always the best ... due to
Jupiter's expansion and Virgo's restriction internal tension may result ...
often expressing ones affection gets curtailed somewhat ... due to the over
concern with so many details, one must guard against making mountains out of
molehills as the saying goes ... sometimes one can get very lazy and sloppy in
their work if they are not careful ... most importantly, one must be careful not
to work so hard and end up getting nowhere !!!
Virgo is the natural ruler of the 6th house which is a house of substance ... here we must humble ourselves and fore go the central spotlight ... understanding the universe is achieved through learning to understand the structure and detail of the smallest element ... and as Jupiter transits through Virgo, there will be an expanded awareness of doing all of the above mentioned ... expansion, growth and opportunity has the potential to occur in the following areas ruled by the 6th house as well : work, health, personal habits, employment, employees, tenants, pets, dependents, service given to others, routine matters, ones clothes, hygiene, nutrition - interest in food and drink, illness and conditions affecting ones health, the unconscious mind and self-adjustment ... in regards to health, there could be issues regarding the intestines, the nervous system, the brain, sight, hands and arms, and illness brought on by stress, worry, emotional upset or nervous tension ...
Jupiter in Virgo teaches us all about how to grow through careful analysis ... it can be slow moving but ultimately it is sure ... the greatest growth takes place on a mental rather than a material level ... once you clearly perceive the patterns and way in which you grow and develop, it will lead to a greater understanding of who you are, where you are going and where you fit in the universal scheme of things ... the energy of Jupiter in Virgo can be expressed in the following ways :
POSITIVE: an urge to learn, organized progress, perseverance, professionalism, realistic, judicious, methodical, ethical, philosophical, virtuous, honest, practical, conscientious, upstanding , thorough
NEGATIVE: overly studious, self-limiting, materialistic, cynical, petulant, overly analytical, narrow minded, nonchalant, mean, hypocritically pious, prudish, moralizing, picky, petty, critical, worrisome, sloppy, lazy
For those of you born with Jupiter in Virgo, you will be experiencing, or already have experienced, your
Jupiter return during this transit when Jupiter reaches the degree
it was at when you were born ... this return occurs approximately every 12 years
as that is how long it takes Jupiter to transit around the zodiac ... Jupiter
returns often mark the completion of a cycle of religious, spiritual or
philosophical understanding and thus the beginning of major new cycles of growth
and progress ... it represents a time when one hopefully sees whether or not
they are putting as much into the world as they expect to receive from it ...
frequently people who are beneficial for you in some way will come into your
life during this time ... and yes, there is always the possible potential to
gain from some financial advantage ... one can experience prosperity,
opportunity and abundance in the area of life ruled by whichever house in ones
natal chart this return occurs ...
As always, for all of you who have had a natal chart run and know where the 30 degrees of Virgo fall, you will probably get a good idea of where in your life there is the potential for the energy of Jupiter in Virgo to expand your horizons on your journey through life !!!
Jupiter
remains in direct motion until February 6th, 2017 ... Jupiter remains in Virgo until September 9th of this year and
will not return for approximately 12 years when it returns to Virgo on August 25th/26th, 2027 depending on the time zone in which you live ...
One should always be trying to
live life to the fullest with a steady, quiet self-confidence which is
ultimately what Jupiter energy is all about !!! ... to that end, optimistic voices
will hopefully encourage us as we all begin to "exuberantly" seek to expand our philosophy of life which in turn
potentially will yield more positive personal and spiritual growth ...
So be
prepared as Jupiter moves forward to complete its journey through Virgo to be focused, concentrated and busy
analyzing all of those DETAILS ... DETAILS ... DETAILS !!!
