JUPITER SQUARE PLUTO R 17-18 MAY 2023 Once more from my talk at APAI on the 29th April: “Before I begin to discuss Jupiter, I would like to digress for a few minutes to go over some background aspects that involve Pluto and the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction which took place on the 21st December 2020 at 0°29’ Aquarius. Jupiter also aspects these points as well as squaring Pluto. The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction took place in the Air sign of Aquarius and ended a 600-year period of the conjunction in the Earth signs, except for the last but one conjunction which took place three times in[...]
JUPITER MOVES INTO ARIES tolerance becomes difficult From cold and moist to hot and dry, on 20 December Jupiter moves out of Pisces where it has rulership, for a short stay in Aries remaining until 16 May 2023 when it enters Taurus. This is the second time that Jupiter has entered Aries, it was there from 11 May to 27 October this year giving us enough time to get the feel for it. The dispositor of Jupiter in Aries is Mars, now transiting Gemini, OOB until 3 May 2023 (for the major part of the planet’s stay in Aries) and retrograde until 12 January 2023. These two planets never[...]
JUPITER STATIONS DIRECT Believe... After a 4-month retrograde period which started in Aries, Jupiter stations direct at 28°47' Pisces (antiscion 1°13' Libra) only minutes before the New Moon in Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter). Now only Mars, Neptune and Uranus remain retrograde. Jupiter is the traditional night-time ruler of Pisces, only more recently was Neptune assigned as modern co-ruler. Jupiter is a hot moist, masculine planet whilst Pisces is a cold moist, nocturnal and feminine sign. Jupiter stations direct conjunct Fixed Star Scheat which Robson explains as “losses [...]
Me? Or should I say we? The Full Moon will occur at 09°05’ Leo (antiscion 20°55’ Taurus). Leo is a Fixed, Fire sign. In traditional astrology Leo governs the 5th house, so this Full Moon operates on the 5th-11th house axis (Leo-Aquarius): the things we create for our own personal satisfaction (including our children) vs our group efforts, the artist vs the scientist, the autocrat vs the democrat etc. The lunation chart itself will have a heavy Earth/Air elemental sense to it (4 planets in each element) together with a feeling of being stuck (7 planets in Fixed signs). Practical [...]
forget love and peace…. The first of six New Moons at 23° of their relative signs. This New Moon will take place at 23°53’ Libra (antiscion 6°07’ Pisces) and will be squaring Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn, now all direct, in Capricorn, it will also still be in orb of an opposition to Mars retrograde in Aries, thus forming a Cardinal T-square aspect. The lunation is also in tight separating orb to the Saturn-Pluto conjunction of January again re-activating this degree and its consequences. Libra brings to mind the usual Venus topics with a very harmonious nuance. So, we could [...]
….the soul-searching is over, time to transform! On the 4th of October Pluto will station direct at 22°29’ Capricorn (antiscion 7° 31’ Sagittarius) after just over 5 months of being retrograde. This is the exact degree of last January’s Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn thus bringing back themes of that period (it was when the first news of what was to become the Covid-19 pandemic reached public attention and now many countries are having a resurgence of the disease with contagion rates soaring). Persons with planets or angles between 18-24° of the Cardinal signs (Aries, [...]
the planet of width enters the sign of depth…from Air to Water, from love to lust After spending a year in the Cardinal, Air sign of Libra dispensing love, harmony and justice, and perhaps feeling wronged himself, Jupiter now enters the murky quagmire of the Fixed, Water sign Scorpio. Moving from the extrovert Air to the introvert Water element. Here diamonds are surely to be found, but only by those who are prepared to dig deep and expose the real from the fake. Jupiter, or Zeus as the ancient Greeks knew him, was the King of the Olympian gods. He was omniscient, knowing and seeing [...]
