Jupiter has today (May 17) moved
into the earthy sign of the bull.
Its ongoing square with Pluto in Aquarius intensifies an already
intense transiting aspect. This fixed sign Square between Taurus and Aquarius symbolises
the friction between the Taurean sensual urge for security and the airy detachment
of Aquarius. This aspect can turn into power struggles, with neither party willing
to let go of firmly held beliefs. Worked with, this aspect offers enormous drive
and the willpower to achieve great things, most especially if this transit makes
aspects to the planets and angles of your birth chart.
Mathematically, it’s a fairly fleeting transit - Jupiter makes
only one exact Square to Pluto (on May 18) - but as we know, transits are processes
not one-off events. If you’re feeling this transit, consider your relationship
to power, both for the good and the shadow side of power. Do you try to control
others or yourself? Do you give your power away? Reflect upon your feelings
about money and wealth, because in this world, money and power are often
interchangeable.
Jupiter is Conjunct the North Node as it enters Taurus, so
take notice of what opportunities you are attracting into your life, and also
where you might need to have a good ol’ Pluto purge. Secrets revealed or buried
is another potential theme of this potent planetary mix. It’s also is a good
transit for practical inventiveness and environmentalism.
Be aware that Mars in Cancer is also a part of this mix, forming
a T-Square with Jupiter and Pluto. Mars in Cancer is a defensive, protective energy,
which might get in the way of putting that willpower and drive into action. The
fear of emotional vulnerability can be a blocker, but when Mars moves into Leo
on May 21, confidence can grow, along with the desire to be seen and recognised,
In my meditation this morning I had a moment of Jupiterian optimism.
Tuning into the birdsong in my environment, I had a sense of the freedom of the
birds (Aquarius loves freedom and is also associated with flight and birds). I
then received the message that when more of us humans reclaim our own freedom (from
fear, from our mental beliefs and constructs, from the idea that wealth only refers
to money) and learn to better respect the wealth and abundance in nature, the birds
(which have been in decline) will come back. Food for thought.
With love, as always,
