On Thursday, Nov. 8th, at 7:38am EST, Jupiter moves from passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio into adventurous, enthusiastic Sagittarius, where it will journey until Dec. 2nd, 2019.

Jupiter moves through a 12-year cycle, so the last time it traveled through its own sign was between November, 2006 and December, 2007 — and the time before that was between December, 1994 and January, 1996.

Think back to those periods… what possibilities or opportunities arose for you? In what ways did you grow or expand? What felt like a birth or a new beginning back then? How could you take all of that to the next level?

Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet’s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.

The lower expressions of Jupiter include “Oh, the heck with it”, “I deserve this and more”, “the rules do not apply to me” — generally speaking, too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence, and so forth.

In the natal chart, the position of Jupiter reveals how we express generosity and tolerance; it also shows how we go about trusting others and improving our lives. Where do we look for wisdom and understanding?

Jupiter symbolizes the principle of expansion; in Scorpio it held a magnifying glass over authentic, emotional commitments or connections and thereby changed our perspective on our subconscious drives and fears, those suppressed or denied parts of ourselves.

Since Scorpio was all about feeling more fully and authentically connected to all parts of ourselves (and thereby feeling empowered), everything in the human unconscious was lit up — we got to see the darker side of things, our survival strategies — and our deepest, darkest desires.

With Jupiter in Sagittarius, that magnifying glass now swings over to…

… seeking the truth, we are invited to look for the bigger picture and grow on a mental and spiritual level, so we can experience more freedom from our survival instincts and instead undergo mental expansion. Where has surviving kept you small? Where has that survival goal become an obstacle?

Jupiter promotes a greater understanding of all of our potential to overcome our darker human nature and develop our ability (or show us our inability) to have faith in our higher Selves, our divinity.

We definitely attract the most good fortune when we are open-handed and generous, tolerant, and are practicing what we preach. We might be more inspirational and find travel, education, teaching, sports, publishing, and foreign cultures especially rewarding.

For the next 13 months, we tend to be more philosophical, forward-looking, and enthusiastic. We strongly value freedom of movement, and truth — but we need to be watch out that we don’t become moralistic with others.

This process very well might operate on a mental/spiritual level, so any “journeys” that we invest in will pay off — and we are able to feel more optimistic about our discoveries as we gain a new perspective on those suppressed or denied parts of ourselves.

Since Sagittarius also connects with religions, we could see greater possibilities when it comes to religious or spiritual communities, and any gifts or talents that they offer.

We are also more likely to be enthusiastic for longer journeys — it doesn’t matter whether we physically undertake such a journey, or simply “travel” with the mind, as long as we experience expansion and learning of some kind.

Questions you could ask yourself: What might promote a new perspective on life? On myself? What journey might lead to wisdom? What spiritual aspirations am I now ready to explore?

Collectively, we will probably see the full spectrum of possibilities expressed, high and low — Sagittarius at its best is adventurous, brave, and wise, optimistic, restless, enthusiastic, honest, outspoken and independent — and in its lower vibrations we find blind optimism, excess, truth-stretching, overindulgence and irresponsibility showing up as well.

No matter what we experience on a collective level, if we are open to seeing the bigger picture, our personal journey will ultimately provide us with a higher perspective when it comes to life on this planet.

Saturn moved through Sagittarius from Dec. 2014 until June 2015, and then again from Sept. 2015 until Dec. 2017; as Jupiter moves over the same territory in our charts we get an opportunity to build on the structures and foundations that were laid back then. Think back to those periods of time: Did you do the work? What structures did you build? What has changed for you since? How could you create a bigger win (or bigger opportunities) now?

Where does Jupiter-in-Sagittarius fall in your own birth chart? What aspects does it make during the year-long transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next one? What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where will you experience a major expansion until Dec. 2019? Where are you ready to go beyond what you currently belief is possible?

If you’d like more insight into those questions, we also covered the Jupiter movement into Sagittarius in more detail in our last Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how this planetary movement is impacting you personally, feel free to purchase the video-presentation of the last webinar — we applied the Jupiter movement to our own birth charts! Click here to purchase our most recent Forum
