Jupiter has been transiting Sagittarius since the end of November last year. Jupiter spends about 12 months in each sign.
Jupiter has recently come out of retrograde, a good thing. When Jupiter retrogrades, it is easy to feel stuck or stagnant - which is especially frustrating for anyone with strong Sagittarius placement in their chart. Jupiter represents firey forward moving energy. The symbol of the archer aiming for targets and forward moving, with future vision.
When Jupiter is at home in Sagittarius it represents the energy of forward movement, illumination, travel, expansion, fortune, luck, truth, openness, and higher learning.
During the Jupiter in Sagittarius transit - ending on 02/12/19 when it moves into Capricorn for the following year - things will have come to light. Plenty of exposure occurs during this Jupiterian transit. What is done in the dark will come to light and deception or fakery will be exposed. The Sagittarius/Jupiter motto is "I see". The Sagacious planet Jupiter is about 'The Visionary - I see more than you could possibly imagine'.
Jupiter energy has the ability to mould you into a better person, without you even realising - encouraging higher moral standards and a necessity to learn lessons in order to grow, mature and ascend.
Jupitarian energy poses the question"What do I truly want, and how do I get it/there?"
It has the power to reveal and illuminate, and it's likely that you will be able to see through fake scenarios - you might see who your 'frenemies' are and, because it is the planet of higher knowledge and learning, you might find yourself being challenged into seeing the truth in your life situation. Jupitarian energy is not a plain sailing one.
When Jupiter is at home in Sagittarius, the energy is mutable and firey and can be erratic. There will always be hurdles (the symbol of the Centaur, horse ie. fences to navigate and places to avoid) The main aim of Jupiter in Sagittarius will be to encourage learning through lessons and learning different things. Learning from mistakes, learning from people, places and experiences and, of course, learning to see the bigger picture.
Jupiterian energy does not throw shadows at you, it shines light on everything concerning your life and life path. Jupiterian energy is concerned with enlightenment. It is generous, allows bygones to be bygones with gratitude for the lessons learned with no vindication.
Before Jupiter moves into Capricorn (02/12), it is wise to practice continuous gratitude for the gifts that Jupiter has brought to your life and for the lessons you have learned. God respects gratitude.One of the most depressing aspects of living in the richness of our Western world, of everything being available at a touch switch, is that (as a culture) we take too much for granted and forget about gratitude.
When you forget to be grateful, it's not a good place to be. Go into nature, look at your feet, hands, your 'vehicle' that you inhabit to move through this plane of existence - earth. Fully engage with your senses. Get awestruck by the overwhelming beauty of nature and how it supports us and how it really is a beautiful world, and a beautiful life. The miracle of it all.
Gratitude for even 'bad' situations, that we might consider to be 'sad' situations, Jupiterian energy reminds us that even in our perception of 'bad' or 'sad', there is still much to be grateful for, primarily what we have learned about our own lives and those of others and how we can make the negative more positive.
Jupiter the planet of luck and good fortune. Jupiter was transiting Scorpio 11/17 - 11/18 and would have influenced this sign ruled by Pluto (Hades, God of the Underworld) and *Ophiuchus (the Serpent Bearer)
When we are in Jupitarian energy, which affects us all, it would be advisable to check your natal chart to discover if you have any Sagittarius placements. The house where it is situated will have an effect on that house specifically. https://astro.cafeastrology.com/natal.php
Jupiter is God of Gods and is associated with truth and learning and higher knowledge. Jupiter is associated with keeping it real. Truth.
In Spanish 'reale' means royal, in other words truth and wealth. Reales is old Spanish currency.
The real (meaning: "royal", plural: reales) was a unit of currency in Spain for several centuries after the mid-14th century.
*Ophiuchus is the thirteenth constellation, that has been recently revealed. It has a short season 30/11 - 17/12 and is considered to characterise both Scorpio and Sagittarius traits - a cross-breed, so to speak. This complicates the whole twelve sign theory and astrologers believe that it was 'ignored', because thirteen is not a divisible number.
The symbol is a human carrying a snake. Snakes in some cultures are considered to be 'sly and treacherous animal', while in other cultures it is considered to represent 'the umbilical between heaven and earth'.
Ophiuchus is comfortable with the underworld, the earth and the heavens, because of their placement, astrologically - between the Plutonian and Jupiterian energy. Some astrologers would argue that Ophiuchus is a connectivity (the snake being the umbilical) between death, life, rebirth and ascension. An interesting theory.
In Chinese astrology the snake is a revered animal and was one of the twelve chosen by the emperor of heaven because of it's beauty, cunning and intelligence. Personally, I like snakes and I was lucky enough to have had the experience of holding a full grown pet python around my neck and arms. It was an amazing experience. Since then, I have always liked and respected snakes.
Astrology: Western, Vedic and Chinese are an endless source of fascination. It's exploratory and revealing and it is both a science and an art. The study of astrology is deep and full of symbolism. When it is connected with the traditional Tarot, it becomes more interesting. For example, each constellation is represented in the deck by a major arcana card. Temperance, is the Jupiterain/Sagittarian energy. It expresses a need to follow your inner guidance and trust in the universal law of attraction/karma and truth. Your own journey.
Temperance (XIV) is the fourteenth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks.
Depiction: Temperance is almost invariably depicted as a person pouring liquid from one receptacle into another. In many decks, the person is a winged person/angel, usually female or androgynous, and stands with one foot on water and one foot on land.
Meaning: This card indicates that you should learn to bring about balance, patience and moderation in your life. You should take the middle road, avoiding extremes and maintain a sense of calm.
