Following a stint in the shallow end of Pisces between mid-May into late July, Jupiter dives back into Pisces on 29 December to mark the end of 2021 with a splash, if not a cannonball. There he remains until May, when he zips over the line into Aries - the sign through which Jupiter moves the speediest. Despite that departure, Jupiter is destined to retrograde and return to Pisces from 26 October through 20 December 2022.
The lord of the planets stations to resume prograde motion on 23 November, in orb of a very precise sextile (less than 10' of an arc) to Pluto in Capricorn. With such a notable aspect at the station, perhaps it would be worthwhile to spot when Jupiter and Pluto similarly aspect earlier in the year. In fact, Jupiter and Pluto exactly sextiles on 3 May, approximately a fortnight before Jupiter finds himself in a square with Ceres in Cancer as he conducts his first Aries ingress.
A series of astrological affinities result from this transit tapestry. Back in the day, the domains were divided among the three brothers: Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. Jupiter received the sky; Neptune assumed reign of the seas; Pluto’s award was the underworld. Now Jupiter, in harmonious reach to Pluto, traverses the sign that Neptune rules and he co-rule. This makes the whole scenario a tad more agreeable than the obvious promise of idea integration with the sextile.
Given the Jupiter to Ceres square on the heels of exactitude of a sextile to Pluto, that’s cool too. Jupiter negotiated between Ceres and Pluto following Pluto’s abduction of Ceres’ daughter and worked out a compromise that everyone emotionally wrapped around and lived with...
Are we to assume that intervals of successful arbitrations, dealings and negotiation can be conducted this next year, highlighted in May and November? Absolutely. In fact, previous dealing assumed to be impossible might find resolutions. The spectrum ranges from personal interactions, to professional negotiations, and into the realm of global peace brokering and deal making. It could be a banner year for sorting through long term circumstances that previously buggered up the works. Perhaps with the insightful application of these transits, 2022 promises astounding evolutionary progress if one takes time to unknot the twine of life.
Meanwhile, the maximum knit and purl of the transits emerges from latent images into crisp focus on 12 April as Jupiter comes to conjoin Neptune in Pisces at 24°. These brothers partner in the business of operating Pisces by co-rulership. On the mundane level, Jupiter may hold the upper hand, a hold over from classical rulership eons. In the creative and spiritual realms, it’s Neptune’s thing, hands down.
What creative conjuring can occur during the Jupiter to Neptune era? Anything that can be imagined, envisioned or dreamed up. Between now and this profound point in April, it’s important to apply natal Neptune and Psyche, and use them to stir lofty aspirations that feed Jupiter’s desire for high bars and amazing goals. Anything you’ve always wanted to do requires full and conscious attention. Forget about any perceived rejection or envy from others that may come from achieving fame, fortune and fulfilling aspirations. Ignore the naysayers and those too timid to venture into daring required to do great things and land talent in full creative manifestation. Forget those who previously cast shade on your youthful follies, which may have been seeded by soulful memories. This is about responding to the yearning of the spirit.
In short, get on with the getting on as if there’s no time like now. Someone’s going to gather plump, cultivated fruit in this time. Might as well bring a bunch of bushels and join in the picking, right? It takes huge baskets to receive the bounty of Jupiter.
All this above manifests per the slate of cosmic opening defined by the Earth’s view of the sky. Sure, Jupiter primed the Pisces pump earlier in the year, but if one considers how the Sun sees the same sky, Jupiter is and has been in Pisces for weeks now... since 23 September 2021. From the heliocentric view he navigates Piscean seas until 17 August 2022. And he will ping several profound heliocentric notations during the Pisces pivots.
Of huge importance, in but days, on 2 December Jupiter passes over the perihelion of Mars. Research has indicated such a transit conjures short wave radio disturbances, and, in fact, impacts all transmission of signals that bounce through Jupiter’s sky realm. Weather patterns dramatically shift and unexpected and volatile climatic changes could be anticipated lingering for weeks after the exact aspect. Right now, barometric changes foreshadow Jupiter’s Martian perihelion passage and the high energy stimulation thereof.
Personally, this is a time when sensitivities may condition emotional responses that are not in bounds with actual conditions. While this time can be noted for being robust in extra charge and volatility, reality checking perception goes a long way in promoting general getting along and the prevention of knee jerk skews away from progress. There may also be a tendency to drift off and bask in an emotional reaction thread. Make sure that if this occurs the space exists for so doing. Drifting while doing things that require conscious attention are happening might offer up unnecessary real world miscues and subsequent clean-ups. Be in the moment. When moods surge, align those moods with your soulful intentions and the psychological expectations of those in your world, as opposed to your anticipation that something untoward might be required of you.
Realizing the upcoming geocentric conjunction of the gaseous giant brothers, heliocentric patterns appear that can offer constructive contributions to maximizing the grandness promised. Following are some bullet points of Jupiter’s further transits to the nodes of other planets and more important, a few tips as to what you can do to surf the wave of Jupiter’s support.
23 February: Jupiter square the nodes of Uranus
Get clear that change can occur once the need for change is noted.
Changes considered will likely be binary. Consider both sides.
If change is required, pick the option that best fits your energetic attention.
25 March: Jupiter square the nodes of Venus
Get a pad and scribble what hidden talents you most want to present to the world.
Spend some time reviewing what you offer in life that provides you with a living wage.
Play with the idea of what you would do if abundant resources existed. Act “as if.”
04 April: Jupiter square the nodes of Mercury
Assess how to refine listening skills.
Determine how you directly, emphatically and urgently can tell everyone what you think, what you’re going to do, and what good you efforts will do the world.
Savor acquired knowledge and commit to tuning into all the cosmic insights overhead.
13 April: Jupiter conjunct the aphelion of Uranus
Notably, this is the day following the exact Jupiter-Neptune alignment.
Go Nike! Just do it... all the good that you intend to do... all the brilliance you intend to shine... beam it. Shimmer and shine on your way as you blip new radars and discover new lands for your talents.
6 June heliocentric Jupiter conjunct Heliocentric Neptune
Consider everything initiated and/or completed since April. Take time to mentally document everything done, whether in part or in whole.
Permit the documentation the time it takes for conscious awareness of it to warm the body and seep inside, filling every cell of the being, every particle of the DNA.
Amplify and expand plans in progress to include all new needs and applications for your creativity in motion.
Agree that doing everything you must do is the right thing to do.
Inspire others as the opportunities arise. Expand your aura to include all that feels food to reach and include.
Coming up soon are the solar transits to the Great Attractor and Galactic Center. The transit update notifications are in the next wave of cosmic email. Prepare your psyche and set the space to download and install.
More soon!
