All Signs
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is so big you could fit all the other planets inside it, plus three sesame seeds and the heart of a Hollywood producer. In astrology, because it represents good fortune, expansion, and an increase in wealth, it is often referred to as the Great Benefic. It will bring increase in your life, even weight gain. (Horrors!) It is associated with joy, wisdom and social interaction. Depending on where it is moving through your chart, it will give it a nice "boost." This week, Jupiter moves into Virgo. The last time it was in Virgo was in 2003. The next time it will be in Virgo will be 2027, and again in 2039. It will stay in Virgo until September 2016. This means good news for all of us but in different ways. It will certainly increase stability in the lives of many of us; and hey -- stability is a good thing, don't knock it. Where there's a will - I want to be in it.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
As Jupiter changes signs this week, it means good news for your job scene. You will either improve your existing job, or get a better job. Whatever happens, you will like your duties and job conditions more; and your evil boss will be transferred to Transylvania. If you're retired, it means that whatever you work at, you will achieve greater satisfaction and a sense of fulfilment. In addition, it's probably the best time in 12 years, for you to have a chance to improve your health because Jupiter will give you physical strength and vitality! The only downside is it can cause you to gain weight because, of course, it increases things, get it? Hopefully, you won't have to let out another pleat in your shower curtain. (Now that's baaad.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Good news for Taurus! As Jupiter changes signs this week, things couldn't get better for you. For starters, it is in your fellow Earth sign, so this brings greater stability to your life - like fixing a broken leg on a three-legged stool. This in itself is excellent. However, in addition, it will bring you boundless opportunities to express your creativity and artistic talents. It will make you fearless and courageous about showing the world who and what you really are. You will take a vacation in the next 12 months because Jupiter will make this happen. You will also enjoy your relationships with children, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry and sports. Your life will become more fun loving and romantic. Existing relationships will become cozier. Meanwhile, singles might fall in love. You wanted more?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
An interesting year ahead awaits you because Jupiter will guarantee that your home life improves in a lovely way. You might move into bigger digs, or for some reason, feel richer where you live. Your home might feel bigger and more affluent. The year ahead is an excellent time to explore real-estate speculation and real-estate opportunities whether for a residential move or financial gain. Not only will the physical conditions of your home life improve - the relationships within your family will also become warmer, more mutually generous and happier. Your children will be free of cavities and will get straight A's. Your home will magically clean itself and free magazine subscriptions will come to your door. Enjoy!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
In the coming year, you will be happier. Factoid. Your relationship with siblings and neighbours will improve. You will have a chance to get further training in a field that interests you because your communications with your daily world will deepen and increase. Perhaps the most important influence is that your attitude to the world will be more generous, more tolerant and understanding. Your outlook will be more upbeat and optimistic, which, in turn, means your plans for the future will be larger and more expansive. Everything begins with your mind. First comes the thought, then comes the word; from the word comes the need and the deed soon becomes habit. And habit eventually hardens into character. Thus, you see how important your thoughts are! You are your thoughts. In the next 13 months, because your thoughts are more positive, you will be happier. Cogito ergo hamus. "I think, therefore, this is a pork bun."
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Well, good news for Leos! Lucky, moneybags Jupiter is now moving into your House of Earnings, which means you have the best chance since 2003 to boost your income. This lucky influence will last for the next 13 months. Not only will you earn more money, but you will spend more money and buy yourself beautiful things. Natch! But the most subtle interpretation of this Jupiter transit for your sign is that in the coming year, you will magically be able to manifest what it is that you most value in life. (Build a closet for all those designer bags.) This means that life will just flow more easily for you. With little effort, you will move in the direction you want to go. Your relations with powerful people will improve; and you will have fun thinking about "big" ideas. Today Manhattan! Tomorrow Winnipeg.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Traditionally, to have Jupiter in your sign is considered one of the best things to ever happen in astrology. It helps you to feel good. It promotes your health and makes you feel more optimistic about life. In the bigger picture, it's the beginning of a new 12-year cycle of growth in your life. (I cannot tell a lie - it will promote weight gain.) It will make you feel extravagant, and perhaps, encourage you to overdo something or overreach yourself. But since, most of us are so self-critical, this is probably a good thing. People will be more attracted to you because you will have such a positive outlook on life! Relationships with others will improve along with your self-confidence and sense of poise. Not too shabby.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This week, Jupiter will start to go into the part of your chart, which is more concerned with the subtle aspects of life. Specifically, it will enhance and encourage your exploration of your inner world and your view of spirituality. In the next 15 months, you might seek out teachers and go to classes related to meditation, yoga, or any mind discipline that benefits you. You will find it easier to look around you with greater compassion and empathy, which is why you might become more involved in a humanistic movement or a charitable organization. Not only will you find a spiritual teacher, you might play this role for someone else. Many of you will have a greater involvement with orthodox religion and the church. "Here come da judge! Here come da judge!"
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your popularity rating is going to soar in the coming year because friends, groups and associations will become a bigger part of your life. As you become more involved in these clubs and groups, naturally, you will meet more people. In addition, you will deepen your existing friendships. Along with this increased popularity, you will find that your idealism is also increasing. People will be supportive to you in an important way, which is why this is not a time to go it alone. Enjoy your interactions with others because they will be mutually beneficial. You will start to see that whatever you put out into the world - will come back to you magnified.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This week Jupiter starts a year-long journey across the top of your chart. This happens only once every 12 years so really, as an adult, you have this lovely advantage maybe three or four times in your life, at most. What it does is to focus your attention toward your profession, your career and your reputation, all of which will shine in the eyes of your peers. Yes, this is your turn to put your name up in lights! Expect kudos, applause, acknowledgement and promotions because this is traditionally the time of success. Not only will you feel confident, this is actually one of the few times in your life where you will really be in touch with what you can do. For some of you, instead of increased success, this is your chance to switch fields - perhaps to working in medicine, healing, the law, higher education or travel.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
No matter what you do, or if you are retired, Jupiter is going to encourage travel in the next 13 months for you - definitely. Keep a go-to bag packed by your door. Not only will Jupiter bring opportunities to travel, it will also bring you opportunities to explore in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and anything to do with higher education. You couldn't pick a better time to go to school, that's for sure. You will also be more fascinated with religion, politics and the cultures of foreign countries. You might meet people from other cultures and countries. This is an excellent influence for financial matters; as well as making your surroundings more elegant. You can easily accomplish a great deal that would usually be more difficult to do at other times. (Impressive.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Lucky, moneybags Jupiter will be travelling through one of your Money Houses in the next 13 months. Ka-ching! Specifically, this Money House is the House of other people's money, which means your partner might earn more money, which indirectly benefits you. Or you might receive an inheritance. Or you might get money back from the government. Naturally, with this kind of influence hovering around you, this is an excellent time to begin a new partnership. If you have recently been through a time of physical or psychological stress- this will be a time of healing for you now. This often relates to someone undergoing a conversion experience. If so, enjoy this process and don't be pushy about making others join you on this journey.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
For the first time since 2003, lucky Jupiter will be directly opposite your sign for the next 13 months. This means all your close friendships and partnerships with others will hugely improve. Not only does this favour the formation and maintenance of partnerships - including marriage - it means that others will help you. It's also an excellent time to reach out for professional assistance from a counsellor, astrologer, doctor or lawyer because your association with others benefits you. And yes, it's an excellent year to get married. This is a time of culmination in your life, which means you have a good chance for success in a number of endeavours. Your year ahead will be productive and growth oriented; and it will have great meaning for you.
