On April 12th, 2022 at 10:42AM EDT, Jupiter's conjunction with Neptune at 23 degrees Pisces becomes exact. We have both the ancient and modern rulers of Pisces together in their sign for the first time since 1856. They start a new 12 year story and also a new 165 year story.
Neptune dissolves boundaries and Jupiter expands whatever he touches. This is excellent energy for deep healing/cleansing, unlimited imagination, unlimited love and compassion - also, because the shadow side of anything is really just the positives taken too far - for our addictions/illusions/escapism to drift us quietly, and maybe swiftly, out to sea.
When Jupiter and Pisces meet in water signs, it ensures whatever is happening we will feel it - our emotions will be fully engaged.
The North and South Nodes of Fate (Taurus/Scorpio) are also at 23 degrees creating some opportunistic trines and sextiles. People with planets/points near 23 degrees of Pisces, Taurus and Scorpio, people with natal Neptune/Jupiter contacts and Pisces rising/Sag rising charts will probably feel these energies strongest, but EVERYONE'S chart/future is impacted.
Jupiter brings luck, good fortune, expansion, optimism, confidence and growth. Neptune is the powers of our imagination and our intuition, our music, our art, our spiritual healing.
Jupiter brings growth to Neptunian themes, makes things more far-reaching/hopeful/BIGGER. Neptune brings healing/connection/dissolution/imagination to Jupertarian themes, makes things less solid/more ethereal which can be good because certain practical limits are erased and also bring challenges for pretty much the same reason.
Happening in Pisces, the last sign of our collective 12th house - there is alot here about what is behind us.
What we can't see from our perch in the first house, including our ancestral/past life inheritances (rewards/debts), the stuff we have accumulated that is trailing invisibly in our wake. So, with Neptune/Jupiter here - think mega-water - the debris that is ready to be sloughed off (released) or brought into our conscious awareness at this time is. This is more of a 5D thing, but 3D events could also correspond. We lose grandma's traditional wedding ring and also her propensity to judge the unusual/different as 'less'. Family curses cede tired ground (think of a flood clearing land here) to make room for more neutral territory, so what is the family energetic (ie us) going to build here THIS TIME?
Unconscious baggage comes to the surface through miraculous events that might seem ordinary.
Latent talents can emerge - something that existed only as a possibility before (interesting these words are anagrams). Something we or someone who came before us put in our chart/spiritual bank account/DNA chain. Spiritual subsidies. Emotional, artistic, spiritual expression. The kind of 12th house genius that gives us and others - art, healing, music, charity, compassion, psychic abilities. This can happen suddenly or, maybe more likely, take root over time and come to fuller bloom when Saturn moves into Pisces next year and Jupiter is in Aries.
Some Jupiter/Neptune word salads might provide some collective clues of what to expect over the next 12 years - a flood of hope, a flood of refugees, mass deception/hypnosis, expansion of healthcare, more drugs, ocean spills and clean-ups, water crisis, wet weather, oil and gas crisis, viruses, martyrs/victims, chemical spills/exposures, wars at sea, wealth/expansion through art/music, turning to God, spiritual pride/arrogance, expansion of escapism, benefits from our imagination, UNLIMITED LUCK. There are certainly some troubling possibilities, but also, just as strongly the possibilities for true MIRACLES. Some will become enlightened (more light coming in), others more paranoid/mistrustful. Empathic people will need some solid spiritual practices (yoga, breath-work, prayer, etc) to avoid picking up unconscious/shadow energies.
2022 is a BIG year. All the 2020's will be big years.
The fixed signs via the upcoming eclipses and ongoing Saturn/Uranus square, are being shaken out of their comfort zones - changes to our fixed signs create REAL change because they are the ones holding everything together. This is Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
The cardinal signs via Venus's retrograde through Capricorn are re-evaluating their lives/values/relationships/finances, figuring out what is still standing/what new starts are needed since they have taken on much of the collapse/humbling of the last few years. This is Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
And now the mutable signs - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces - have this incredibly rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity to make a LEAP forward in their creativity, intuition, spirituality, hope/optimism and escape repressive limits/old curses. They will also be heavily dealing with Mars in Gemini for seven months starting later this year.
We ALL have all these energies in our charts, but some people are more directly impacted and some will be activated this year more than others. And, although on Tuesday morning EDT we will have these planets together on the same degree down to the exact second, this has been building for long enough we are likely already feeling the effects of this. When Mars reaches 23 degrees Pisces on May 16th, these energies will be triggered. Look to not only the house in your chart where 23 Pisces is located (and its themes), but also to the houses that Jupiter and Neptune rule - your Sag house and your Pisces house for some idea of how this might impact you personally.
This is all amplified by Venus in Pisces - and Mercury and Uranus answering to her AND Mars entry into Pisces by the end of the week. So we will have Jupiter, Venus and Mars all answering to Neptune PLUS Mercury and Uranus answering to Neptune through Venus! That's alot of water!
Once Jupiter moves past Neptune, activating our new 'dream' - he will keep going, crossing the Aries point/made new and entering the first sign of Aries in mid-May. The fire will be lit under all of us!
If Saturn/Pluto was 'time runs out' in January 2020 and Jupiter/Saturn on the December 2020 solstice started the physical world back up again, Jupiter/Neptune in April 2022 is starting our spiritual/co-creative world back up again. The tides pull us past the trauma and fear - past the death. Not because the world is perfectly safe, but because we figure out/REMEMBER we don't really die.
For now, prayer/meditation/breath-work will be extremely helpful/healthful. Make art. Listen to music/your muses. Clear the slate a bit and allow the Pisces cleansing waters to impact you in all the ways you are wanting/needing. Jupiter/Neptune is bringing God/spiritual connection into all these spaces in our physical bodies and physical lives where he/she has been missing.
Imagine yourself at the shoreline being washed clean/forgiven by a warm, SAFE flood of water. Think - cosmic baptism, tides turning.
Just remember to come up for some air now and then.
