On May 13th, 2021 at 6:36PM EDT, for the first time since 2010, expansive/lucky/confident Jupiter enters magical, mystical Pisces!
Jupiter's role is expansion; to create the BIG PICTURE.
Jupiter is huge, but not solid. He grows whatever he comes in contact with, then, through contact with the other planets, this unchecked growth gets form/structure/limits.
Considered the greater benefic (as Zeus he was king of the Gods), he promotes abundance, wisdom, our ability to stretch outside our comfort zone. As ruler of the South Node, his move into Pisces will change our current circumstances and the way we are releasing/letting go of the past.
There is ALOT of good news here AND a few caveats/buyer-beware notifications.
As the ancient ruler of Pisces (before the discovery of Neptune), Jupiter is uber comfortable/powerful in Pisces. That's good news. Leaving Aquarius detachment/logic for Piscean emotional attachment - takes Jupiter out of serious Saturn's domain for the first time in a COUPLE YEARS. Think, Santa Claus gets out of Scrooge's sweatshop and back to his merry band of elves. So, more good news.
This is the planet of expansion/luck/that greener grass over there in the sign of unlimited magic/unlimited everything.
Sound good?! You bet!!!
We just want to keep in mind the nebulous nature of Jupiter/Pisces/magic. The whole 'not counting our chickens before they're hatched' thing will apply for the next few weeks. Not everything that flows in (between now and June 20th) will be quite as big/good as it seems.
Sometimes with Jupiter things get too big to get finished. We can get overwhelmed. If more is good, then even more is better ... until it isn't. Things can grow in unintended ways. Taurus season will keep some of this in check, but Gemini season will be here soon (and Taurus ruler, Venus, is already in Gemini) and this 'more, more, more' thing can really escalate.
Still, after two years with our expansive planet of 'hope and luck' answering to sober/stingy Saturn, having Jupiter in his old stomping ground, even for just a few weeks, has to be a good thing!
With Jupiter in Pisces - our Piscean spaces will EXPAND. Our intuition INCREASES. We are more able to feel/offer compassion and forgiveness. Our ability to connect with those around us increases. Those hard edges we have developed in logical/detached Aquarius will soften/our borders relax.
Dreamers will dream BIGGER. Escapists will run FARTHER.
Victims and martyrs will play out some endless saga we will all have to
hear about. Saviors will march into action. Seekers will look within - the gold mined here now will be HUGE.
Artists will make MORE and better art. Drifters may drift a little more/or alot more off-course.
Our Pisces natal house, where our
boat is only lightly tethered to the dock anyway could be pulled out to sea ... and maybe this could get us into real trouble or maybe this is just what we need right now. And probably both is happening at the same time.
Big picture - Jupiter in Pisces will show us our need for emotional healing. We are a burned out species, largely unaware of how the past is impacting our present. The Cappy self-destruct button/end-game, the Aquarius rescue plan - has been exhausting. We need the masculine Aqua detachment/over-thinking/logic to move into the more receptive/feminine mutable waters of Pisces. This unstoppable movement toward 'progress, the future, tech titans and 'trust the science' will dissolve a bit now as our boundaries loosen, we move a little closer, check each other's pulses, connect/offer compassion/love. Feel instead of think.
See what expands in your life.
We get a little preview until June 20th when Jupiter stations retrograde and the expansion will retract/there will be some kind of reality check. We'll be back in Aquarius in a New York minute (end of July until the end of the year), older and wiser, so let's enjoy this.
Here is a quick look at the signs. If you know the house in your natal and progressed charts of 0-2 degrees Pisces, check by house, otherwise check by rising sign and you can always pull your Sun into the first house and check your Sun sign. Aries applies to Aries, of course, but is also the collective influence. You are probably already feeling this ....
ARIES | Aries Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 12th house - this is happening in your 12th house of what is hidden or put away or done behind the scenes, art, music, relaxation, meditation, water, compassion, forgiveness, secrets, the
ethereal realms, imagination, hospitals, spirituality, addiction,
healing. Something here EXPANDS. Your intuition increases. Your dreams get bigger. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.
TAURUS | Taurus Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 11th house - this is happening in your 11th house of the collective - your friendships, your tribe, groups, causes, the
internet, the public, the goals that bring you into relationship with
other people, your advancement, technology. Something here EXPANDS. Your confidence/optimism in social situations grows. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.
GEMINI | Gemini Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 10th house - this is happening in your 10th house of your career, your calling, your
achievements, goals, your father/paternal story, business, authority,
responsibility. Something here EXPANDS. This could be about a change of career, recognition or the beginning of a dream/the confidence to explore something in a bigger way. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.
CANCER | Cancer Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 9th house - this is happening in your 9th house of travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, your beliefs and higher thinking. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. This is Jupiter's natural house, so should be a good thing!
LEO | Leo Rising, 0 degrees Pisces, 8th house - this is happening in your 8th house of other people's resources, other people's values,
intimacy, other people's money, spouse's income, loans, debts, taxes,
inheritance, death, rebirth, sex, reproduction. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.
VIRGO | Virgo Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 7th house - this is happening in your 7th house of partners and partnerships. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. A new/idealistic person could enter your life or a partner could become more dreamy/soften. You will experience Jupiter in Pisces through your relationships/other people. This could speak of the ending of a relationship in which case it probably wouldn't be a sudden break, but more of a drifting apart. Maybe partnership limits soften as one or both partners desire more freedom. Worst case a partner takes this Pisces magical energy too far/checks out. Best case the relationship grows in optimism/faith.
LIBRA | Libra Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 6th house - this is happening in your 6th house of your day-to-day activities, your routine, work, co-workers, pets and your health. Something here EXPANDS. Take care of your health. This house can get tricky, so you want to keep things in balance/avoid burnout/growing the wrong things. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.
SCORPIO | Scorpio Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 5th house - this is happening in your 5th house of creative projects, your self-expression,
what you give birth to, children, romance and recreation. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. Enjoy this one Scorpio!
SAGITTARIUS | Sagittarius Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 4th house - this is happening in your 4th house of home, family, your roots, mother,
mothering, your ancestry, real estate, renovation or a home business. Something here EXPANDS. Jupiter is your ruler, so you will feel this one - his move from fixed air to mutable water. With the South Node in Sag and Pisces ruling endings, something from the past could come back around for healing.
CAPRICORN | Capricorn Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 3rd house - this is happening in your 3rd house of communication, information, writing, siblings, transportation or your local neighborhood. Something here EXPANDS. Jupiter's move from over-thinking Aqua into 'live and let live' Pisces can help you settle your over-active mind by expanding your optimism/faith. Your mental health or communication could become a top priority under this transit and you will find ways to improve it. A good transit to learn something new, write, talk, grow in your local environment.
AQUARIUS | Aquarius Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 2nd house - this is happening in your 2nd house of your money, your values, your resources and self-esteem. Something here EXPANDS. This transit can increase your income/expenses which can be a good thing or maybe not, so keep an eye on the bottom line Aqua and focus on increasing what you really value/need/want to keep.
PISCES | Pisces Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 1st house - this is YOUR TRANSIT Pisces and is happening in your 1st house of yourself. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. You can physically take up more space during this transit/stand taller/get noticed (just watch that one donut doesn't turn into the whole dozen). Just keep the more, more, more thing in balance and know this is a sneak peak of what you can expand during the first half of 2022. Life is good Pisces!
With Jupiter ruling the South Node of what is ripe for release and Pisces connecting us back to our ancestors/past-lives, some things will only make sense intuitively and that is OK/how it should be now. We are going to feel our way through this one. With Jupiter in Pisces opposing our Virgo planets, we want to watch for excesses that impact our work/health/day-to-day/pets.
For everyone, note Jupiter is just getting his big toe wet in Pisces in 2021. He will reach
2 degrees Pisces, stop, station retrograde on June 20th and start
backtracking. He will be back in Aquarius by July 28th to finish up
there and then back in Pisces at the end of December to plow through the
rest of the sign through May 2022.
So, from now until June 20th we get a preview of this energy/a chance to learn how to work with it. If things expand we are not so happy with, we will have a chance to re-structure/re-vise before he comes blasting back here at the end of the year. If things expand nicely - greater optimism/connection/relaxation maybe - just know we have six more months of Jupiter in Aquarius to finish up later in the year. Don't count those chickens just yet! But, DO allow yourself to feel/explore this new growth/hope. We'll talk more about this transit as we move through it.
