Jupiter in Sagittarius: Take One!
The current shift of Jupiter through the stars is like having a VIP pass to a movie trailer for the feature film that Jupiter is starring in from November 2019 through November 2020 when Jupiter finally moves in Sagittarius for the long haul.
Jupiter is on the verge of moving into its own sidereal sign, Sagittarius, on March 29, 2019. But only for a short time before going retrograde back into Scorpio!
Please keep in mind my forecasts are based upon sidereal calculations which differ from western tropical calculations.
Jupiter enters Sagittarius for the first time since since 2007 (yep, you read that right!).
At the same time Rahu and Ketu will be changing signs (more on this huge shift in my next newsletter!)
Mark your calendars! The brief stay of Jupiter into Sagittarius from March 29,2019 to April 22, 2019 can give you deep insights into the upcoming year-long transit of Jupiter starting this fall.
The areas of life that Jupiter influences in the birth chart; the houses Jupiter owns, (Sagittarius and Pisces), the other fire signs, (Aries and Leo) will be energized by this brief Jupiter transit.
There is one important caveat with this brief Jupiter transit.
Saturn is in Sagittarius now, and Ketu is headed into Sagittarius, too! A real mash-up of contrasting planetary energies!
Saturn definitely has the capacity to balance out the super expansive energy of Jupiter in Sagittarius. It is important to observe where you are feeling/experiencing obstacles or delays so that you can work through them prior to Jupiter entering Sagittarius for the year ahead in November. Saturn will give clues regarding where we need to slow our roll and limit expansion for the fall Jupiter transit.
Saturn leaves Sagittarius early 2020, so the disciplinary lessons of tradition bound Saturn and limited philosophical expansion in Sagittarius will continue through the end of the year.
Anyone running any level or combination of the planetary periods of Mercury or Ketu will feel this shift of Jupiter most intensely. Those in the planetary period or sub-periods of Venus may experience the Saturn energy more strongly than Jupiter.
I will however give you all a hint regarding the area of life to be on the lookout for expansion and energy during this brief dip of Jupiter into Sagittarius in April. See below for more details by rising sign.
Key qualities for Jupiter in Sagittarius: expansion, optimism, wisdom seeking, dharma, and focus on philosophy and spirituality.
How you personally experience Jupiter in Sagittarius will be directly related to the areas of life Jupiter and Sagittarius represents in the birth chart.
Observe closely what comes up for you March 29 - April 22 in the areas of life listed below (for each rising sign.)
Because of the retrograde phase I am sharing a teaser of this transit below. Jupiter in Scorpio and how its transition to Jupiter in Sagittarius might be experienced.
The retrograde phase that begins April 10 will send Jupiter back to Scorpio to finish up the last bits of his (our!) work to be done in that sign and house.
