There is an important
planetary shift this month. Jupiter moves into Pisces.
Whatever sign Jupiter is passing through is where his
benefits and gifts are underlined.
Jupiter moves through each sign every 12 years and spends on
average 1 year there, demonstrating his task in that sign’s energy. People with strong Pisces in their birth chart
will be pleased.
On the 13th
of this month, Jupiter, makes this shift and moves away from Aquarius and
temporarily only, dips his toe into Pisces, where he hovers in the very early
degrees of that sign till July 28th. From then, he returns to
complete his task in Aquarius, staying in that sign till December 29th.
From December 29th however, he will then return
into Pisces, to commit to finalising his job there, until May 10th, 2022.
He has been in Aquarius since December 20th, 2020
and he has indeed during this period, been working alongside Saturn in the same
sign, which a rare combining. This has demonstrated the amazing speed of
scientific development for the greater good, not least re the development and
roll out of vaccines and shifted the mood towards a need for greater
humanitarianism and equality … not least racially. The results of the pure drive of capitalism
and ruthless economic growth (Strong Capricorn over the last decade or so) is
showing its downside and is looking less robust in value and a realisation of
the need for bigger picture wisdom, is showing its face, not least in climate
change awareness and the essential need for global cooperation re planetary
health, as opposed to nationalism. Big picture, more existential realisations
are emerging (Aquarius).
The move into Pisces by Jupiter this month, will give us all
a taste of what is to come from the end of this year, in terms of areas of development.
The water sign of Pisces, ruled by Neptune of course,
is all about the emotions, the heart, the spiritual and the artistic and indeed
nature. It is a powerful influence for compassion. there is a greater sense of intuition,
which sometimes, in extremis, can lead to astral illusion, not free of egotism
… Positively, however it brings a great need for the heart and soul to be honoured,
as opposed to just the mind and the material. Sensitivity is totally underlined,
as is empathy, humanitarianism and compassion.
The sea (Neptune ruled) will become also of major focus in terms of its
health and importance on our planet and love of it will really be powerful.
Indeed, the human heart will be much more aware of the value of the whole
natural world, for our psychological wellbeing and indeed for the health of the
whole planet. The arts too will become an increasingly strong and hugely
focused area, especially after recent starvation of that quality in humanity.
Some major creativity of great significance in all areas of the arts will be
manifest.
The arguments against
climate change happening, is already redundant and with the new Pisces
influence, the power of oneness, caring and cooperation needed to protect our
planet, will be indisputable. Neptune is currently (since 2012) powerfully
moving through its own sign of Pisces (every165 years for 14 years) …. and now add
Jupiter to the mix, and the power of this sign is clearly going to be
increasingly self-evident.
The powerful,
destructive leaders in the world when it comes to their values of pure interest
only in money and power, will become increasingly redundant and the forces for
the heart and soul will gain in strength We have already seen the transition in
the USA, in terms of leadership values and priorities and the same shifts will
need to happen in many other countries, not least Brazil[LO1] .
Lip service alone to a change in values
will not cut it.
Of course, there is
always a downside to any planetary position and Jupiter when in Pisces, can be
OTT in that sign’s principles and qualities and therefore can bring over
idealism, emotionalism, excessive fantasy, illusion and therefore escapism,
including a danger of addictive behaviour, which is often a manifestation of a sensitivity
to realities that are felt to be too great to tolerate and deal with. There is also the danger of deceptions
(negative Neptune). Strong emotions and idealism can be taken advantage of, and
it can invite dangers via the already familiar dangers of the powers and
illusions of social media influence, bringing distortions of truths and its
appeal to people’s vulnerability, to a more damaging degree. The border between
reality and illusion/ fantasy/lies can be very blurred when negative Pisces is
manifested. The danger of the influence of ego seeking and indeed often
delusional cult leaders is also flagged up, i.e., those who take advantage of
others’ vulnerability, idealism and gullibility.
The positives of this
planetary position of Jupiter in Pisces, can be truly heart-warming, joyous, beautiful
and indeed, evolutionary, but the dangers can be destructively illusionary. We
need to be very careful and discriminating.
The good news is that
with Saturn totally remaining in Aquarius till early March 2023, we have the
rational balance of his influence, alongside Jupiter in Pisces... to underline
the science, truth and the pragmatism of our collective humanity’s needs and
the wise use of our hearts, souls and minds, all combined in balance.
The Sun exactly conjuncts Uranus on the 1st of the month,
but its influence is at work for several days either side of that date, so this
period is a potential time of eruptions, literally physically, such as
earthquakes and volcanic activity and/or metaphorically i.e., socio-politically.
Being in Taurus, it is likely to do with our planet’s physical energy fields
and possibly connected to economic issues.
Anyway, expect the
unexpected around those dates.
Mercury in his home
sign of Gemini from the 4th and then moves retrograde on the 29th
of the month and stays in that mode till June 23rd. This will, as always, be a period of delay,
blocks and frustrations. and is also flagging up a period where patience is
necessary, as well as probably a necessary rethink, set back and reassessment.
Geminis be aware, not least Boris Johnson.
There is a total Lunar eclipse on the 26th at 5
degrees of Sagittarius. That will be a time of endings of chapters and eruptive
reality checks, that have been bubbling up for some time, for some who have significant
natal planets involved in that degree… Obviously though, for those born around
November 28th and May 27th.
The new
Moon falls at 21 degrees of Taurus on the 11th which can be a time
of new beginnings in some obvious or private way. Again, especially true, if it connects with
any strong planetary chart position you may have, but strongly anyway,
obviously, for all born around May 11th/ 12th.
