Jupiter in Sagittarius

On November 8th (2018) Jupiter entered Sagittarius where it will be till the very beginning of December 2019. Jupiter is at home in Sagittarius, so this is a great placement for it. Jupiter is the largest planet and it has to do with growth and expansion. It is also known as the planet of luck. Wherever it is transiting we are expanding through the traits of that sign.

With Jupiter at home in Sagittarius, get ready to just experience lots of growth and expansion. It's time to expand our horizons. This is a placement that has the potential to make everyone more optimistic and excited for the future. Sagittarius is the archer looking for where to shoot his arrow next and we will probably be doing just that, looking towards the future ready to explore and have adventures. 

Sagittarius has to do with the 'higher mind' and exploring beliefs and philosophies. This can be a time where we really expand our minds and our beliefs about life and spirituality. Our philosophies and even other cultures. Sagittarius is a sign that celebrates diversity. 

The thing about Jupiter in Sagittarius is that people can really overdo things. This is the caveat and it's really important during this year to not go overboard with anything. Don't gamble, don't overindulge, don't become a wild party animal. Be excited about the future, stay optimistic, have adventures, but don't push anything! Yes, it's time to expand and grow, but don't go overboard with this. Yes, Jupiter rules growth and expansion, but it's not limitless, so don't start thinking you are. The planet right after Jupiter is Saturn, which happens to be in it's home sign of Capricorn at the moment. Saturn has to do with restriction. It's the last planet that really has to do with the material world and it is a kind of container that holds it all together. That is why it has to do with restriction. The human world has it's limits. Especially at this time with Saturn in Capricorn and Jupiter in Sagittarius you will be reminded of this. When you get way over enthusiastic thinking you're invincible with Jupiter, Saturn reminds you that you have got to be practical, structured and to know your limits. Opportunities and expansion abound with Jupiter in Sagittarius, but you still have to take it slow and steady up the mountain like a mountain goat. 

The last thing I want to talk about is Jupiter in Sagittarius and spirituality. Jupiter in Sagittarius has to do with beliefs, higher knowledge, religions and spiritual teachers. At one point it will square Neptune in Pisces, which has to do with spirituality and is a very high, cosmic, spiritual placement. It's pretty much the ultimate spiritual placement. Both these planets are in home signs now, exploring beliefs and spirituality, which is very powerful. Yet, they make a harsh aspect to each other. I think this means that we need to be very discerning in our spiritual quests. It's so important to not get caught up in delusions or illusions. Get in touch majorly with this spiritual energy, but make sure you are seeking the truth and not getting caught up in fantasy. Sagittarius has to do with the search for truth, yet it also can go overboard before it realizes what's happened. Stay in the truth seeking energy and don't get so optimistic and filled with faith that you don't even realize what you are getting yourself into or believing in. It's also important to not get self-righteous, which is an easy trap to get into with Sagittarius energy. Any time you start to get puffed up thinking your way is the truth and everyone else is wrong, take a step back to think before getting preachy or pushy. As for the Neptune part of this, at it's highest levels it embodies absolute spiritual truth and unity with all that is. Yet, at the lower levels it's a planet that deals with deception, illusion and fantasy. Basically whatever you are exploring spiritually this year, be discerning and seek the truth. Don't believe everything you hear and don't become self-righteous. It is a powerful time of spiritual exploration though, don't get me wrong.

~This will be an exciting year for everyone with Jupiter in Sagittarius! It's a good transit to have as long as you don't go overboard basically. This energy affects everyone's life in a new way, it's a new cycle beginning. For those with Jupiter in Sagittarius, you are having your Jupiter return however, which is exciting! You are beginning a new 12 year cycle. Also, if you have your Sun in Sagittarius this should be a good transit for you overall. ~
