On June 9, Jupiter will go direct in the sign of Libra (at
13 degrees). It will remain in this sign until October 10, when it will enters
the Sign of Scorpio 12:20 EDT/ 9:20 PDT
Jupiter, in astrology, represents growth, good fortune and
expansion. On its positive side, Jupiter is generous, instructive and favorable.
On the negative side, Jupiter is over-indulgent, wasteful and scattered. It
is the ruling planet for the sign Sagittarius, of which the Full Moon is currently
in. It is what we in astrology call a Benefic (Bene=Well, facere=To Do) a
planet that has positive or beneficial influence as it passes or transits (Venus
also tends to be beneficial during its transits). As it goes direct,
Jupiter will be at its most helpful, providing advantageous and fortunate opportunities.
Libra, whose ruling planet is
Venus, Is a sign that seeks personal understand and self enlightenment through
interactions with others. Diplomats of the Zodiac, it is an air sign devoted to
compatibility and companionship. At its best, Libra is observant, adaptive and
attentive. At their worst, Libra can be unemotional, superficial and indecisive.
Jupiter in Libra tends to be
a good match (pun intended). The expansive, solicitous nature of Jupiter does
very well with the sociable, relationship oriented Libra. As Libra tends to have a heightened aesthetic sense
(a gift of Venus), this maybe an excellent time for artistic efforts or
enterprises i.e. painting a painting , going to an art gallery with friend, a
trip to the beauty salon and so on. Both Jupiter and Libra have strong romantic
aspects to them so dating or spending times with a significant other may quite fortuitous
during this transit. And The Strawberry Moon or Honey Moon (read my article, A BountifulHarvest) should also bode well for any date nights.
The coming weeks should also
see favorable conditions for any negotiations, be they professional or private.
Whether it’s one on one or groups, Jupiter in Libra will encourage the best
conditions, adding a helpful, kindly air to the proceedings. Watch for over doing or overindulgence in your
efforts (the current full moon may urge you to eat and drink a little more than
you should). Because of the moon’s current sign (Moon stays in a sign for three
days), Sagittarius, will enhance Jupiter’s influence, offering optimism,
adventure and new perspective on existing matters. Because Fiery moons are
known for their capricious and potentially reckless natures, work to remain
grounded and reasonable.
Libra, Opportunities
and advantages may appear where they previously had not existed. The chance to
produce or creative things that are beneficial to yourself and others is great!
Carpe diem! But be careful not to
overextend or overdo, observing critical boundaries. Sometimes “No” is a good word.
Aries, this
season may ask you to participate with groups or other persons extensively. While at times you may feel put upon, Jupiter may
provide bounty and allow you to succeed in personal plans in ways you might not
have imagined. Don’t overdo it! Sometimes “Yes”
is a good word.
Cancer and Capricorn, Jupiter may provide the
chance to do over a past issue or concern. While it might seem tricky or over
complicated, the time you devote to the effort may actually solve a group of
problems you’ve been dealing with. Taking thing step by step will make the
resolutions that more profitable
Jupiter in Libra offers a
chance to make your life and the lives of others better. Where you can, seek
the balance, help and optimism this transit may be offering.
