Jupiter in Gemini 2024

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar system, It can fit 1,000 Earths inside of it!!

It is also the oldest planet formed from the dust and gases left over from the Sun’s formation 4.5 billion years ago…..Jupiter is named as the King of the planets, the equivalent of the King of the Gods or Zeus in Greek Mythology. It’s a big deal.

Tomorrow May 25th Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. Jupiter has a strong belief in expanding into new horizons, faith in life, the realization of connecting to something greater than self, opportunity and twists of fate. Travel has natural significance with Jupiter as learning from experiences and getting a fresh perspective are all benefits from getting out of the familiar. Coincidences, lucky timing and personal growth are signs that Jupiter aligned somewhere in your chart. Jupiter will stay in the sign of Gemini until June 9th 2025.

Gemini is an Air element, corresponding to the thinking type of personality-intellectual, communicative, needs mental stimulation, adaptive, busy, social, curious, inquisitive, objective, versatile, restless, nervous, articulate and distracted.

When we blend Jupiter and Gemini together we have a multi-tasking, analytical, energy equipped to refine and improve the area of our lives that this transit will be flowing through. The pace will certainly pick up after a year in Taurus-fixed earth steady growth and grounding any abundance that came your way. We now have the opportunity to shift gears mentally and open the ideas to a broader awareness of where we are headed. Jupiter in Gemini trines Pluto Rx in Aquarius immediately entering the sign which is a herald of more refinement and reform around ideas and concepts. Pluto in Aquarius is beginning the long transit of liberating ourselves, changing mental patterns, escaping traditional ways, intellectual freedom, uniqueness and originality. A transformative journey through Aquarian eyes. Be curious as to how the harmonious connection to Jupiter in Gemini may come up with some exciting new alternatives that can bring changes, improvement, success, and freedom. Jupiter can over do it with excesses and unruly behavior because of the momentum it can create. In the sign of Gemini watch for inconsistency or distractions taking you from the original plan. 

Examples of Jupiter in Gemini through the houses:

1st House-

Self, body, and appearance can benefit from upgrades and improvements.

2nd House-Finances, self-worth, and earning power get a positive boost.

3rd House-Local environment, sibling relations, communication and learning is an area of optimism and positive changes.

6th House-Work routines, health, habits can create better ways to function on a daily basis that encourages personal growth.

7th House-Relationships can enter our lives to enrich us and bring something beneficial from the new connection or alliance.

8thHouse-Shared Resources, inheritance, debts or loans may bring unexpected financial blessings or fortunate changes.

9th House-Higher mind, travel, psychology, beliefs and dreams can inspire a new path or journey. Gaining valuable knowledge.

10th House-Career, reputation and status will be highlighted when Jupiter reaches the top of the chart. A promotion or becoming more recognized for what you do in the world. Opportunity knocks.

11th House-Friends, groups, alliances and our dreams can merge together in unison creating abundance around like minded people. Creativity with culture.

12th House-Solitude, meditation, retreat and spirituality are the calling cards of Jupiter’s tremendous compassion. You can be of great service to those that need love and assistance.

GEMINI NEW MOON MAY 22,2020

“Just because a sea is calm doesn’t mean that you can believe in its stillness.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

Lately I’ve been watching survival stories, anything that involves a true adventure at sea with all its up’s and down’s and quick decisions, is the most satisfying. The challenging times we are in currently remind me of the ocean and its unpredictability. A sailor needs many tools and skills up her/his sleeve to move through the energy of the moment. In a storm, setting yourself up for the best possible situation is key. All the details that go into preparedness flood the mind…. what sails to use, safety precautions, food and drink near by to sustain your eminent battle with mother nature. The amount of faith you put in your boat and yourself, as you navigate through theses waters is a magical thing to experience. Gemini is an air sign ruling those winds of change, adaptability and dexterity. Looking forward into the new social norm brings a curiosity and heightened cleverness of how to connect and communicate. These are the gifts of Gemini.

The Sun has entered Gemini to shine its rays on Venus Retrograde, Mercury in Gemini, and the New Moon on May 22nd. Highlighting our communication and eventually connecting us through cautious phases during this Covid 19 pandemic. Venus Retrograde in Gemini (May13-June25) Venus is the planet of connection, love and what we value, during a retrograde cycle we can reflect on those themes and restructure what needs adjustment. Last time we experienced a Venus Retrograde in Gemini was 8 years ago in 2012…..think back to that summer and try to recall what happened in your life? Ask yourself how you may have changed and grown since then.

Venus retrogrades can feel like a time out, which may alienate those close to you, yet listening to your inner guide during this time is wise. Like a sailor holding the helm contemplating the wind speed or the flow of the swell, it is intuitive and internally felt. Mercury in Gemini is mentally alert and may help you communicate those feelings from a emotionally detached position, stated simply with facts. With that said, there is another piece to this astrological puzzle, Neptune in Pisces 20 degrees is in square aspect to both Venus & Mercury in Gemini at 20 degrees. Neptune in Pisces joining the conversation adds some confusion here, a touch of fantasy or a disappearance of clarity. On a higher note, Neptune calls in faith and can ramp up creative juices, remaining open minded (Mercury) can create many opportunities with resources (Venus) around you. This square aspect moves on and Neptune revisits Venus Direct in Gemini again on July 27th .

Friday May 22,2020 Gemini New Moon 02 degrees ~ New Moons are the start of a fresh lunation cycle. We are deep into the month of May, the darkest moon resets and starts its quest for fullness. On the cusp of Summer and adjusting to a new world that has experienced a major change of living day to day, we are asked to be flexible and conscious of how we affect those around us. Something to contemplate. Gemini energy thrives on information, adapting to what new horizons may bring. We may experience a restless sense of curiosity, calculating and managing the unknown. Set your intentions on this New Moon as it also favorably trines Saturn in Aquarius, a realistic yet innovative approach to your new reality is a great topic to ponder. Like a sailor on the sea, we need to adjust our sails as the winds dictate our course on moving forward.

Peace
