Jupiter is the planet of good luck. It represents our hopes for the future, and our desire for expansion.
Jupiter’s influence is collective as well as personal. It describes the general buzz amongst groups of people, and the stronger Jupiter’s position, the happier everyone is.
Jupiter is a slow-moving planet, that takes just under twelve years to go round the Sun. This means that it stays in a sign, on average, for about twelve months.
Today, January 18, Jupiter changes sign, from Aquarius to Pisces. It happened at 2.10 am Greenwich Mean Time, which is 9.10 pm yesterday if you’re in New York.
This is great news, because Jupiter has rulership over Pisces, and is therefore very strong in this sign. We’ll become more optimistic about the future, and many of us will have a powerful vision about what might be possible, both spiritually and materially.
Jupiter will remain in Pisces until June 6, after which it moves into Aries. It will return to Pisces in September.
Over the next few months it’ll be easier to get things done, and I’m confident that there’ll be real evidence that the global economy is recovering.
However I believe that it’s a calm before the storm. As I keep reminding my readers, in 2010 and 2011 Jupiter and Saturn are making a stressful, 180-degree aspect. Historically this aspect has a strong association with economic decline, as well as political turmoil.
It’s therefore important to make the most of Jupiter’s movement through Pisces, by harnessing the feel-good (or feel-better) factor.
We can perhaps persuade people to have faith in us, even if that means making over the top claims. Faith leads to security, and if we’ve got security we’ve got every chance of surviving the next few years.
