Jupiter in Sagittarius: Seeking Spiritual Balance and Support + Horoscopes

10/30/2019

Normally, Jupiter's transits are a year long, but this year-long transit of Jupiter moving through Sagittarius is unusual and not straight forward. Sagittarius is Jupiter's most balanced transit, however, he must contend with Saturn and Ketu for the majority of his passage through his favorite fire sign. Sadly, a large part of this transit is cut short as Jupiter enters his debilitation sign for several months. Unfortunately, we won't get the full benefits of Jupiter in his most balanced, comfortable placement, however, there are still many spiritual benefits that we can look forward to.

As Jupiter lands in Sagittarius on November 4th, he enters the challenging gandanta of Mula nakshatra while also joining Saturn and Ketu in this sign. Expect inevitable restructuring, contraction, losses and grief thanks to Saturn and Ketu. There will be clearing and releasing taking place, which can ultimately lead to more gains further down the road. Remember that Jupiter wants to purify, so listen carefully to his requests. What are you making space for?

When Jupiter collides with Saturn and Ketu, a natural restructuring will be taking place. Saturn is the planet of grief and has an energy of contraction. Ketu is highly spiritual, disembodied, and shows us where we need more connection and awareness. Jupiter will be bringing the necessary wisdom and support that is needed to heal, grow, expand, and find more wholeness on your dharmic path.

Saturn will move to his own sign, Capricorn, on January 23rd, 2020 which will give Jupiter a little breathing room while he transits Sagittarius. However, Jupiter then shifts to Capricorn, his sign of debilitation, on March 29th, 2020, where he will have to contend with Saturn once again- while feeling the pinch of debilitation simultaneously. This can squeeze and cause pressure to Jupiter's expansive ways. A debilitated planet can't offer much outer support as its energy turns inward. This transit can cause challenges with all things Jupiter- so be mindful of what needs are surfacing and what changes and adjustments need to be made on your dharmic path.

Once Jupiter lands in Capricorn and goes debilitated, then goes retrograde on May 14th, a reversal will take place called Neecha Bhanga. A debilitated planet that goes into retrograde motion is said to become exalted- almost. This will strengthen the effect of Jupiter and will offer more support while he moves through Capricorn, however, it's not a complete cancellation. I've found personally that much of the impact of the debilitation can still be felt- so be mindful that this is still a delicate transit.

Sagittarius is a fire sign that is deeply connected to spiritual desires. As the number nine, it naturally reflects the wisdom of the 9th house of dharma. Symbolized by an archer pulling his arrow back, this sign needs to remember to take action, not just prepare. There is a tendency for "over-preparation" with this sign, rather than taking focused, right-action. Notice where you are causing delays, creating obstructions, resisting forward momentum. The support will be here for you to move forward, but you must take the steps to make it happen. This sign wants fairness and justice, as well as truth. The shadow side to this sign is dogma, puritanical beliefs and ideals.

Jupiter is a planet of sattva, purity. His intention is to purify what is impure and to awaken pure knowledge. He prefers the spiritual realms and offers spiritual support and guidance when well placed in the natal chart. When we go against him, he can be overpowering in his attempts to bring us back to spiritual harmony and balance.

As the planet of expansion, satwa (purity) and akasha (space), Jupiter brings us knowledge and wisdom as well as new awareness. The Sanskrit name for Jupiter is guru (teacher), expressing the support and nourishment he provides. As Jupiter moves around the zodiac, he sparks learning and growth through wisdom, guidance, support and resources. Whatever he touches, he expands- which may feel helpful or uncomfortable at times.

Jupiter transits are roughly one year long and impact all levels of wisdom, knowledge, comfort and support. He leads you to your dharmic path and supports the nourishment gained along the way. Positive effects of Jupiter bring comfort, support and understanding. He brings learning through greater awareness and expansion of consciousness- which of course is not always comfortable. He is the ultimate teacher (for better or worse) providing some of the most poignant life lessons.

Challenges with Jupiter include lack of support, knowledge, and dharma. When Jupiter is not strong in the chart, there may be little to no support offered, few resources or missed opportunities. Dharma may be impossible to find with a weak or challenging Jupiter in the natal chart. Everyone can benefit from the helpful and supportive resources that Jupiter provides. However, without his support, challenges and struggles increase- which often bring tragedy, trauma and chaos.

As the guru, he represents teachers of all sorts- including coaches, healers, guides, mentors, therapists, wisdom keepers and shaman. Receiving the blessings of Jupiter requires that you allow the nourishment and wisdom of this type of support to be received. Negative influences upon Jupiter in the jyotish chart, will create challenging experiences with teachers and a resistance to knowledge and wisdom. Whereas positive influences upon Jupiter in the jyotish chart will offer nourishing and supportive experiences with teachers, wisdom and guides.

If Jupiter is a naturally benefic, or positive planet, in your chart, the coming transit can naturally offer more gains, expansion and support on your spiritual path. This can be an especially powerful time for your dharmic path as Sagittarius naturally pulls from the 9th house of dharma. Jupiter loves dharma, right action, spiritual gifts and wisdom. He is a great support for aligning and clarifying your dharmic path. Using this time wisely will be important for making progress on your path and getting soul level support.

If Jupiter is not a positive resource for you, this transit can offer certain challenges with knowledge, wisdom, guidance and support- especially for your dharmic path. You may lose support, be forced to restructure, face hardships and lack of resources. The impact of a weak Jupiter will likely be felt as he moves through Mula nakshatra and goes debilitated in Capricorn.

November 4th, 2019 to January 4th, 2020: Jupiter in Mula Nakshtra

This is a time of powerful restructuring, uprooting and change. Mula is a gandanta- a gap between water and fire- notorious for uprooting on the psycho-emotional body levels. Ruled by the dark goddess, Nirrti, this cycle is especially important for your dharmic path. Are you making choices that move you closer to dharma or further away from it?

Address self sabotage, resistance to your growth, and the neglect of your souls purpose. You may experience challenges, obstructions, or delays on your dharmic path. Gather the support, guidance, resources and tools you need to move forward with more clarity and focus. Don't lose sight of your goals, disires and spiritual intentions. Seek spiritual insights and wisdom, as well as deeper self trust. What needs to change once and for all- so you can finally move forward with more ease and gentleness? A clearing is taking place. Allow the release to take place. Next steps will be planting your seeds of desire and intention.

January 4th, 2020 to March 7th, 2020: Jupiter in PurvaAshada Nakshatra

As Jupiter moves through PurvaAshada, the water goddess, Apas, enlivens. This is a constellation of perspiration and effort- which results in fruitful rewards. This transits supports purification, release and transformation- especially on the phsyical body level. This is powerful time for cleansing and cleaning up your lifestyle and diet.

Seek resources, support, guidance and tools that help you purify your life. Where there is impurity, Jupiter will be requesting you do clean up. Clear away the excess, the impure, the malnourishment. Make space for your deepest desires, nourishment and support. It's time to up-level on all levels of your life! Use this time to water the vision, desires and goals you have for your life path and purpose. Focus your attention and actions on the direction you want to go and make the necessary space for what you truly desire.

March 7th, 2020 to July 26th, 2020: UttaraAshada Nakshatra

The intention of UttaraAshada is right action. Ruled by the Vishva Devas, goodness, truth, and purity are their desire. The "all gods" will support righteous behavior and choices, but adharma will not be tolerated. Are you in right-relationship with your dharmic path, your souls purpose? This constellation can be a powerful boon for the dharmic path, but if you are misaligned, you will be asked to clarify and refine your actions and choices. If you aren't getting the support you would like, it's time to take a different course of action. You are off path somehow. What needs to shift in order for more right-action?

What is your focus and intention right now? What are your desires? Clarify your direction and where you are putting your energy. What action steps move you closer to your goals, your dharmic path? What action steps are wasting your time and energy? Now is the time to get the lasting results you truly desire for your path and purpose. Don't hesitate and don't delay.

Horoscopes for Jupiter Transit:
November 4th, 2019 to November 19th, 2020

These Horoscopes will give you general themes for the year to come based on your rising sign. Horoscopes are based on your sidereal, or Jyotish rising sign, not your Western or Tropical sign. There is likely no correlation. You may also use with your sidereal Moon or Sun sign for extra insight.

Needing more support and guidance for the Jupiter cycle ahead?
Book a session with me here.

Aries: Your dharmic path has been going through major transformation and restructuring over the past year. You are being asked to make some very different choices on your path. Continue to notice where there is trauma, disconnection and disharmony with your choices, actions and behaviors. Are you resisting spiritual guidance and support? It's time to find more alignment with your true purpose and deeper needs. Get creative! Be courageous! Try something new! Move in the direction of your passion and purpose. As Jupiter shifts into your 9th house of Dharma, he brings more support, resources and guidance to help you clarify and affirm your path. Share your knowledge and wisdom in a new way. The good news is that Jupiter is leaving his most challenging transit through your 8th house, however, in the coming year he will be debilitated in your 10th house for a portion of the year, which causes challenges with your offering and visibility. Take note of the adjustments and changes that need to be made so that you can be seen and noticed more fully for your offerings. Growth and new wisdom is possible in this new phase so pay attention to your resistance and notice where you are refusing to grow. It's time for an upgrade.

Taurus: It's been a challenging year for you with lots of deep, inner changes. Fortunately, Saturn will be leaving your 8th house early 2020, which releases you from his most challenging transit. However, as Jupiter moves into Sagittarius, he enters your 8th house as well. Any planet that goes through the 8th house does not come out the same. You are going through immense transformation right now and it's important that you get the necessary support to help you move through this time. The 8th house is our unconscious terrain, which inevitably digs up our own darkness and undigested emotions. This is a very important time for you to be doing your shadow work, trauma work, and deep spiritual awakening. As Jupiter moves to your 8th house, seek new support, guidance and resources to help you move through this powerful transformation process. When Jupiter enters your 9th house of dharma, he goes debilitated. Be mindful of your relationship with authority figures, spiritual guides and gurus. Are you aligning with what you need? Are you refusing the support you desperately need? Turn the mud of the 8th house into the necessary knowledge and wisdom for your dharmic path. Be willing to face your fear so that you have more space for the joy. I highly recommend a Jupiter yagya for this transit to buffer the inevitable challenges.

Gemini: Self awareness is key right now. Focus on your inner growth and outer expansion. Relationships have been causing many challenges and delays, but soon the heaviness of Saturn will leave your 7th house, lightening things up a bit with relationships. However, early 2020, Saturn moves to his most challenging placement in your 8th house. The coming 2.5 years bring up very old, undigested grief- so get the support you need to transform your darkness into light. No planet that goes through the 8th house comes out the same. I highly recommend getting a Saturn yagya for this transit to buffer the inevitable challenges. The good news is that Jupiter entering your 7th house offers more solid support and stability- especially within relationships. Gather what you need for more holding, strength and community in the coming months. Seek the spiritual support and guidance that will help you navigate the cycle ahead. Clarify boundaries, relationship needs and work with the wisdom of your pelvis. When Jupiter dips into your 8th house for part of 2020, this will present some very real vulnerability. It's vital that you do your grief work at this time and get a yagya for Jupiter as well. This does not have to be a horrible year, but you do need to be diligent and honest with your challenges and needs, while seeking the right kind of support for your healing and transformation. Be vigilant!

Cancer: Saturn and Ketu have been living in your 6th house of healing for the past year and Jupiter will join them as he enters Sagittarius. This provides a new strength and wisdom to your support team, providing new wisdom, insight and clarity with your healing and inner guidance. If you are on a healing path, or a healer, this cycle will be especially beneficial to you as you deepen your understanding and depth. Expect your dharmic path to clarify and strengthen as well. Saturn shifts to your 7th house early 2020, which brings more solid support into your life, but when Jupiter enters Capricorn as well, you may feel vulnerability and lack of support on some level. Seek balance with relationships, your community and support team. Focus on your healing and health in the coming cycle and gather new resources, support and guidance for your path and purpose. This can be a time of more balance and harmony with your self and others. Work on releasing bad habits, self sabotage behaviors and the parts of yourself that keep you stuck in lack and malnourishment. Clear away the blockages and make space for more of what you need and want. Watch out for stagnation in your gut and digestion.

Leo: Jupiter shifts into your 5th house as he enters Capricorn, joining Saturn and Ketu here for part of his transit. It's been a challenging time for your children, joy, and sense of power over the past year, but Jupiter will provide new insight, wisdom and support moving forward. His balance and resources can offer you new awareness and focus for your path and purpose so use it wisely. Pay attention to your upper gut and clear and release stagnation with digestion. Saturn shifts to your 6th house early 2020 which means doing some grief work around bad habits and poor choices. When Jupiter moves to Capricorn and becomes debilitated, this reminder is even more important. Vulnerability and lack of support may cause challenges so pay attention to where you are self sabotaging and resisting the support and guidance you need. The coming cycle will require deeper healing, wisdom and resources for you so don't neglect your path and growth. Focus on where you want to go and gather what you need to get you there.

Virgo: You've had so much clearing and releasing taking place in your heart center this past year that you now have space for something new. The wisdom and nourishment of Jupiter is moving into your 4th house of heart, home, land and mother so use the coming transit to strengthen your emotional body and heart wisdom. As Saturn shifts to your 5th house of children and power, you will need to do some grief work in this area of your life. Once Jupiter enters your 5th house and goes debilitated, this area of your life will require you to listen more fully and deepen your harvest. What are you learning about your relationship with power? How is your heart wisdom supporting your inner wisdom? Use this time to clear the trauma that has been keeping you disconnected from your heart, emotions and mother. This pain is keeping you stuck in malnourshment and instability. It's time to heal, transform and awaken your inner wisdom and listen to your emotional body more fully. Use this wisdom to support your offering, deepen your path, and clarify your purpose in this world.

Libra: This is a time of strengthening your creativity and courage so that your dharmic path can deepen. Over the past year, you have been experiencing challenges with your creativity, hands, and courage- which has directly impacted your dharmc path. A restructuring has been taking place, clearing space for something new. Now that Jupiter is arriving in your 3rd house, more balance, support, resources and guidance can arrive. This will help challenges with authority figures, your support team, and spiritual growth as well. Saturn moves to your 4th house early 2020, requiring you to do some very concentrated grief work. Lean closer to your emotional body wisdom. As Jupiter moves into debilitation in your 4th house, the wisdom of your emotional body will require even more attention and intention. Challenges with heart, home, mother, land and property will require your focus so don't be neglectful. The wisdom surfacing can directly support your offering in this world so pay attention to what you are learning and how you want to share this with others. It's time to create something new. Be courageous.

Scorpio: Jupiter is leaving one of his most powerful transits for you, but the good news is he will be in his own sign for at least part of his new cycle- which directly impacts your sense of nourishment. The expansion you've been experiencing this past year will continue to blossom and support your finances, wealth and resources. However, this comes with restructuring and necessary changes. Once Saturn shifts out of your 2nd house and into Capricorn, you will feel even more lightening up in your pocket book, but the restructuring continues throughout this coming year. It's time to make some very real changes with your finances and how you deal with your money, as well as your relationship with food and sustenance. When Jupiter enters Capricorn and goes debilitated in your 3rd house with Saturn, your courage will faulter- which impacts your dharmic path. Be mindful of this inner cycle and what needs to change in order for you to return to a new sense of strength and self. You are making space to receive a whole new level of nourishment and creativity, but some clearing and restructuring must take place first. Be diligent with clearing out the old and making space for the new. It's time for a deeper sense of nourishment in your life and body. Use this cycle to upgrade your speech, voice, diet, and money.

Sagittarius: It's time for you to do some celebration as Jupiter lands in your first house in his own sign. You've come full circle and a 12 year Jupiter cycle is now finally complete. As Jupiter arrives in your head, expansion, possibility, and hope awaken. Maybe it's time to refocus your time and energy in a new direction? As Saturn moves to your 2nd house early 2020, even more ease and gentleness arrive for you at long last. For part of the coming cycle, Jupiter will be debilitated in your 2nd house with Saturn so be mindful of your finances and don't overspend. Upgrade your diet and eating habits and don't overindulge on sweets, alcohol, bad food, etc. This is a time best used for changing your relationship with nourishment in general. With Jupiter in your 1st house for part of the coming year, focus on expansion, growth and new wisdom. Relationships, children and your dharmic path all receive the support and guidance of Jupiter so focus on the positive and honor this powerful new chapter awakening for you and your life!

Capricorn: Layers of closure, release and emptying are strengthing for you. Saturn's long, belabored 30 year transit through your chart is starting anew as he enters Capricorn early 2020. This will feel like a fresh start for you on many levels, but some final clean up and release is necessary before you can hit refresh. Do your grief work and support the release process. A very spiritual transformation is taking place for you as Jupiter arrives in Sagittarius. Awaken the support and guidance of your ancestors and deepen your relationship with alone time, solace and retreat. Get comfortable with meditation and your dreams- and use them to strengthen your dharmic path. When Jupiter goes debilitated in Capricorn for a portion of 2020, your relationship with vulnerability and insecurity requires some attention. You will need to rely on your relationships, community and support team in new ways. Allow yourself to be supported and notice where you resist being held, seen and supported. Part of your support team is spirit, so don't neglect the relationship with your ancestors and spirit guides. Let them be your greatest resource.

Aquarius: Gains are arriving at long last. Have you made space for them? How much room have you created for receiving the nourishment you desire? Focus some attention on clearing and releasing, so you can benefit from the naturally beneficial transit of Jupiter moving through your 11th house in his own sign of Sagittarius. As Saturn shifts to your 12th house, early 2020, even more ease is created in your house of gains. Some necessary restrucutring needs to be done still, so don't neglect the clearing, transformation and release that is being asked of you. When Jupiter hits your 12th house and goes debiliated, much of this release work will become more clear and poignant. Let spirit and your ancestors guide you. Take time for rest, solace and meditation. Gains are likely as Jupiter moves through Sagittarius, so be diligent with your manifestation skills and be clear in what you are asking for. If you make space for it, you will be able to receive it more easily.

Pisces: You've had a powerful year of growth and expansion on your dharmic path and now it's time to bring this learning into action. You are in a process of restructuring your offering to this world, but as Jupiter shifts into your 10th house, more support and wisdom will arrive to help you create something new. Saturn shifts to your 11th house of gains early 2020, requiring you to focus on release, letting go and loss. This is part of the necessary clearing and new structure that must be implemented in order for the new gains to arrive. What needs to change and transform? What is the direction you want to move in? What are you creating for your new offering in this world? During part of this transit, Jupiter will be debilitated in your 11th house with Saturn. This is a delicate time for your growth and receiving. Be diligent and mindful with the necessary clearing, shifts and simplicity that are being asked of you. Cut, clear, delete. Refocus and realign with what truly matters to you. Strengthen your passion and purpose. It's time to create a whole new offering in this world.

October New Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual

10/27/2019

0 Comments

The October new Moon arrives on the 27th at 21:39 MT while Moon is transiting Libra and Swati nakshatra. This new Moon also coincides with the powerful celebration of light, Diwali, in the Vedic calendar.

Diwali (or Deepavali) is a very significant five day festival in the Vedic tradition. The most significant day of the Diwali festivities is on the new Moon.

Diwali is actually a five day celebration that honors light, Lakshmi, and the divine resources available to us. Lakshmi is the giver of health, vitality, nourishment and wealth. The festival of light spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Three of the most important days are dedicated to Dhanvantari, Hanuman, and of course the new moon being the most important of all, which is solely dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi.

Read more about Diwali and why this festival of lights is so important.

This Libra new Moon is particularly delicate as it mirrors the vulnerability and weakness of the Sun- who is currently debilitated in Libra as well. This is a inward time of year for the Sun. The source of our light is dim and the new Moon highlights this lack of light. When Sun is debilitated, the physical body is more sensitive, but the spiritual body is more awake. Use this time to go inward, pause, rest and rejuvenate. This new Moon is a particularly powerful time for inner growth, deep listening, and self care.

New Moon in Swati nakshatra brings a cycle of movement ahead. Change, travel, and wind come with this constellation. Vayu, the wind god, rules this portion of the sky and brings all kinds of movement with him. Subtle and small breezes, as well as powerful gusts, and everything in between, are all within his domain. What is your relationship with the wind right now? Vata may be particularly imbalanced in the coming weeks so be mindful of your prana. Avoid excess movement, travel and pushing to accomplish. Right now, less is more. Silence and rest are the best use of your time and energy.

Jupiter is currently at the edge of Scorpio, poised for a major shift in the coming days. On November 4th, he will move into his own sign, Sagittarius, joining Saturn and Ketu here. For the next couple months, he will be transiting through the powerful gandanta of Mula nakshatra, ruled by the dark goddess, nirrti. This gap between water and fire supports immense uprooting, transformation and change on the psycho-emotional body levels.

The awakening taking place with Jupiter in the coming months, supports the dharmic path and ushers in a whole new level of insight, wisdom and dharmic support. Right now, our relationship with support, guidance and wisdom is already shifting. Our Guru, Jupiter, is moving to a sign that he loves, which supports more balance and harmony with his natural qualities. It also means that he will not tolerate adharma, impurity, lack of wisdom and guidance on your path. Pay attention to the support and guidance showing up to support your dharmic path and start making this a priority.

I'll be sharing more about this transit in an upcoming article.

This is how the dark goddess, Nirrti, destroys your dharmic path.

Creative Ritual

Expanding your container, your capacity to hold and to release, can physically and metaphorically be done through the breath. With new Moon in Swati nakshatra, this is a good time to work closely with the breath, prana and your life force energy.

1. Breath Dance. Begin standing, lying down or sitting. Bring your awareness to your breath as it moves in and out of your body. Filling and letting go, opening and releasing, like waves moving in and out of the body. Track the movements and sensations in the body and let these guide you. The sensations will guide you into the physical body impulses, the messages of the body. As you continue to breathe and become more and more aware of the movements of the ribcase, let these movements exaggerate. These exaggerated movements are the making of your "breath dance".

Continue to move from and with the movements of the ribcase as you breath. Explore, expand and develop your breath dance for at least 10 minutes. Let it evolve and as it does, continue to self track, noticing the body parts most alive and awake as you explore your body part sensations present. As you bring your breath dance to a close, ask yourself these questions: I sense, I feel, I imagine.

2. Create an image of your ribcase. What colors, textures, shapes and images arrive on the page as you draw your ribcase? I encourage you to get your hands involved in this process whether it be through painting directly with your hands, or smudging the craypas with your fingers. Let the hands be sensitized through the process. Get messy. Let the hands and fingers fully engage in this image. (Working with clay may be an alternate medium to work with). Title your image. Take at least 15 minutes for this.

3. Harvesting. When your image is complete, use it to harvest with further inquiry by asking it these questions:

Ask your image if it has anything it would like to share with you:
If your image could speak, what would it say?

I am
I want
I need

What am I opening to? What am I closing to?

Are you curious what your Jyotish Chart can tell you about your souls purpose, your dharmic path?

If used properly, Vedic Astrology can be one of the most straight forward, insightful tools you will encounter on your path.
