Turning Inwards: Nocturnal Jupiter
Jupiter is the planet of growth, wisdom and prosperity. So what can you expect now that it has moved into mystical Pisces? By traditional rulership, Jupiter is actually at home in the sign of Pisces and it functions really well here.
Typically when a planet is in rulership it brings order to chaos, stabilizes events and brings relief from troubles. Jupiter offers nourishment and hope to those in need and points to solutions, strategies and beneficial resources. Since it’s moving from an air sign to a water sign you may sense a palpable shift in the energy as we slow down, flow and turn inwards because water is a yin element. This is the night manifestation of Jupiter.
Honoring the Watery Depths
One of the central themes of this transit is the emotional self. Jupiter expands everything it touches, so your feelings will be amplified. As a collective, there will be an emphasis on emotional well-being. Now more than ever, it’s important to honor your feelings and the feelings of those around you. Luckily, Jupiter gives us the faith we need to overcome anything so you won’t be afraid to sit with your emotions whether its grief or ecstasy.
Shadow work is an especially worthwhile pursuit at the moment as Jupiter provides a safe container for exploring your emotional depths. By learning to accept your authentic self and the fullness that lies within, you are well equipped to shine radiant compassion out into the world.
The Santa Clause of the Zodiac
When Pisces and Jupiter join together, it’s a beautiful marriage indeed. The innate Piscean qualities of sensing, intuiting and feeling will be amplified. The best way to harness this energy is to create space for answers to emerge from within. Follow those intuitive nudges and allow each day to come to you. If you approach life from a place of pushing and forcing, you just might scare away divine guidance like a skittish deer.
This is a great time to focus on your passion projects- all of those endeavors that light up your spirit. Allow yourself to be swept under the spell of your fantastical daydreams, wonderings and wistful longings. They all have something to tell you.
Pisces yearns to merge, become a part of something greater than itself and experience transcendental oneness. Pisces is one of the most compassionate of the signs and Jupiter, the great Benefic, is the astrological equivalent of Santa Clause. Opportunities for generosity, sharing, giving and relief from suffering are everywhere. They will touch your heart in surprising and delightful ways.
Moving Houses
When a planet changes signs, it’s also going to change houses. Although depending on which house system you use, your mileage may vary. Pull up your chart with transits and notice which house(s) Jupiter will be moving through. The themes of that house will begin to emerge, front and center in this season of your life.
To glean even more insight, identify whether or not you have any planets in the house that Jupiter is transiting. For example, if Jupiter is transiting your 6th house and you have Saturn located there, you’ll also want to look at which house Capricorn occupies in your chart. This will give you an idea of what additional themes and topics Jupiter might activate. You’ll notice a cascade effect throughout your chart.
Wisdom > Luck
When we see Jupiter arrive, there’s a tendency to ask, ‘Where is my abundance coming from?’ or, ‘I wonder what kind of good luck I’m gonna get.’ When instead, it might be more fruitful to ask: What can I learn and discover from this teacher archetype?
Jupiter always helps you to gain more wisdom. And sometimes, what we think we want or need is not in the best interest of our soul’s growth and evolution. You can reflect back on what was going on in your life in 2010 back when Jupiter was previously in Pisces to get a better idea of what themes and echoes might resurface for you.
Your Greatest Superpower
With Jupiter in Pisces, your greatest superpower is your imagination. Facts and data can only take you so far. Instead, art, philosophy and spirituality will be accentuated. As Albert Einstein said, “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
Jupiter in Pisces is a visionary, so picture in your mind’s eye what you want your future to look like. This is the beginning of a 20 year cycle so the seeds that you plant now will have long-lasting change and influence. Those dreams that capture your imagination now will continue to inspire you until 2040.
No matter what fantastic dreams and visions you hold for the future, remember to ground them on the physical plane by taking action. Otherwise, they might just dissolve into stardust. Whether you want to dream a different dream for the collective or radically reshape your own life (or both!), the force of your imagination will help you make it happen.
So breathe life into your dreams, nourish them and prepare for the tremendous growth that lies ahead. Consider also the kind of intention, energy and ideals that you want to embody. They will represent the heartbeat of your journey.
Out of the Shadows
I suspect that numinous topics such as energy healing, crystals, astrology, dreamwork, intuition and psychic abilities, the unconscious, EFT, the Akashic Records, quantum physics (basically all the subjects I talk about on this blog haha) will be ‘in vogue’ during this transit, and gain popularity amongst mainstream culture. As an empath who is naturally imbued with deep sensitivity, intuition and compassion, your gifts and energy will be especially needed + in demand.
