Jupiter Transits
Jupiter Transits: Predictive Astrology – Techniques for Predicting the Future
Back to Predictive Astrology Main Page
Overview:
Jupiter takes approximately 12 years to come full circle. Therefore, every 3 years or so, Jupiter will transit conjunct, square, or opposite a natal point. When that natal point is an intensely personal planet or point (such as the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus, or Mars), we feel its effects in a similarly personal way.
Jupiter transits perhaps receive more positive press than they deserve, as those of us who have waited for Jupiter to transit conjunct our Sun can attest. Why? Because if we wait for Jupiter to bestow us with wonderful gifts, we are sure to be disappointed. What Jupiter does do is infuse us with the license to dream, to hope, and to feel good about ourselves.
Jupiter is an influence that acts to expand and enlarge our personal landscapes. Jupiter transits allow growth and expansion of consciousness involving the conditions and natures of the houses and planets involved. Our confidence and level of joy are increased in these areas of life, and we feel motivated to improve or gain in these areas of life.
These are times in our lives when we feel a little more free and confident, and when we are not as aware of restraints. Problems arise when we overdo, and are so confident that we ignore reality and don’t think of consequences. However, just as we need Saturn to remind us that we need to buckle down, we also need Jupiter to remind us that we won’t get very far if we don’t believe in ourselves.
Jupiter acts to expand, and it gives us hope and enthusiasm. It can also make us feel rather restless or overconfident. Jupiter is the planet of possibilities and it offers us promises. Whether these promises are realistic is something to consider seriously.
However, Jupiter is a jovial influence, and we all need that kind of energy from time to time! When Jupiter transits a natal planet, it gives that part of our personality a boost, reminding us that we may have been underestimating our capabilities. It invites us to have some faith in ourselves and our abilities.
Remember always that for Jupiter transits to benefit us to the utmost, we need to grab opportunities. We cannot wait for things to happen to us. At the same time, we must be aware of the potential for overdoing, for glossing over details to feed our optimism.

Jupiter-Sun Transits
Jupiter transits conjunct Sun This is a highly touted aspect, but much will depend on the condition of the Sun at birth. If the Sun is challenged natally, Jupiter transiting conjunct with the Sun may bring about some opportunities. Still, they may not be easy to grab unless you have built your self-confidence before the transit occurs.
Sometimes, unexpected windfalls come during this transit–but don’t count on it. Reasonable investments are generally favored at this time, but it’s a good idea to factor in the condition of the natal Sun and the nature of other transits occurring at the same time. If the Sun is challenged, you may not have the best judgment now.
It’s an excellent time to start new long-term projects. You may feel more vital, confident, and optimistic about the future at this time. It’s an excellent time to resolve conflicts. Events may give your ego a boost, and you could be feeling quite vital and alive.
Take advantage of this by promoting yourself or putting yourself “out there.” As you prepare for this transit, consider whether you want to begin a new long-term project and try to launch it at the time of the transit (assuming all other things are equal). Ego gratification is the theme of this transit. This is the start of a “new you” — a more confident and faithful person.
Look for Leo in your natal chart, as the Sun rules Leo, and this is an area of life that will be directly affected by the transit (in addition to the house where the transit actually takes place).
Jupiter transits sextile Sun This can be an excellent time for financial transactions, making plans for the future, making investments, resolving conflicts with others, and boosting self-confidence. You can feel particularly vital and confident, and this inner “sunny-ness” can bring its rewards.
Jupiter transits square Sun There may be a tendency to wastefulness during this transit. Faulty decision-making due to over-optimism or arrogance can also be an issue. Avoid making any large purchases during this transit, as you might find that once Jupiter passes, you didn’t really need the item. Jupiter is infusing you with a boost to your ego now, and it is up to you how to handle it.
Jupiter transits trine Sun This transit represents considerable opportunity. You are likely to feel very good at this time–and reasonably confident. This is a time to find ways to improve your life and your satisfaction from life. Resolving conflicts with others is in favor, and you do come across in a more favorable light than usual. It’s generally a good time to invest.
Essentially, Jupiter is giving your ego a boost, and it’s likely a much-needed boost. New visions of the future and new inspirations are likely to come along with this transit.
Jupiter transits opposite Sun You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun.
Generally, this transit is a “feel-good” transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit is that you might over-reach due to these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you may receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.
Jupiter-Moon Transits
Jupiter transits to the Moon directly affect the feelings, the public image, and personal popularity. During these transits, you are especially aware of what you need to feel secure. You may tend towards self-indulgence and encounter issues surrounding your need to commit versus your need to be free. Problems from your past may resurface. You are also likely to want to improve your domestic affairs and relationships.
Jupiter transits conjunct Moon You may be looking to improve your home life and domestic affairs when Jupiter transits your Moon. At the root of this is a desire for more security and a stronger home base or foundation.
This is a friendly transit period when you may find yourself more amiable and personally popular. Take advantage of this time by resolving conflicts with others in your personal circle. It could be an excellent time to buy a home or change residence, although you may want the biggest and the best home with the way you are feeling at this time!
What does the Moon rule in your chart? Look to the house(s) of your natal chart with Cancer on the cusp for areas of your life where Jupiter is acting to expand. Look to planets in Cancer in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Jupiter is now infusing with optimism.
Jupiter transits sextile Moon Your sense of humor is improved, your ability to derive pleasure from life is augmented, and you come across as considerably more friendly and popular during this transit. Follow your heart, expand your personal circle, spice up your home, and improve your close relationships.
Jupiter transits square Moon You might be feeling somewhat dissatisfied with your domestic environment or your personal circle at this time, or you might be dealing with personal issues that tug you in two different directions: to commit, or to be free?
Avoid the tendency to splurge or to pamper yourself for no other reason except to tame your moodiness. Putting on weight is one possibility of this transit, but awareness of the roots of your dissatisfaction can go a long way toward preventing the addition of more debt or pounds to your life and your body. What you are really looking to do is to expand your emotional life with joy and pleasure. Consequently, the best way to find satisfaction is to weed out what is making you unhappy on a spiritual level.
Jupiter transits trine Moon You can feel personally popular and well-received by others at this time. If this is not immediately apparent to you, dig deeper and appreciate your relations with your family and close friends.
Goodwill and optimism characterize this period. Because they don’t always coincide with specific external events, Jupiter’s trines to personal planets might go unnoticed. However, if you know this transit is coming, be aware that your faith in yourself and others at this time can be especially rewarding and personally satisfying.
Use this time to resolve conflicts with others, as you are bound to be well-received with your sincere and warm demeanor. Do something to improve your domestic life–whether it’s simple re-decorations or enjoying family activities or outings.
Jupiter transits opposite Moon Depending on your character and life situation, you can feel especially optimistic or emotionally self-indulgent during this transit. Some of us experience swings from optimism to self-pity.
Problems rooted in the past and with family and early childhood are apt to surface while Jupiter opposes natal Moon, and productivity may be adversely affected as you nurse your wounds. There can be a tendency to put on weight or to be financially extravagant. If this is the case, recognize that it’s a sign that you are looking for emotional satisfaction in the wrong places.
You may be questioning the amount of support you are receiving from others, but be aware that your judgment on this matter is likely skewed. You might be setting others up on some level to prove to yourself how unsupported you are. We all need to feel emotionally supported, and this transit makes us more aware of that need.
Ideal handling of this transit is facing what you feel is lacking in your life–that which is causing you to feel unhappy. The fact is, if you choose to reach out to others at this time, it is more likely than not that they will be receptive to you, as long as you sincerely want them to be.
Jupiter-Mercury Transits
Jupiter transits to Mercury stimulate and expand your curiosity and offer the opportunity for growth through learning, self-promotion, and increased chances to get your ideas across. You are more alert than usual to possibilities, and your curious spirit is aroused. You begin to think in big ways. Indeed, you feel more confident about your capacity to communicate and your intellectual capabilities.
Jupiter transits conjunct Mercury This is a time when your usual way of thinking and seeing the world is infused with a grander, bigger perspective. You see the big picture now, but be careful that it is not at the expense of critical details. Details may be glossed over, and you may tend towards over-optimism now.
This transit presents an excellent opportunity to grow mentally and intellectually. Learn everything you can. Your ideas may be appreciated more than ever, so be sure to get your ideas across and put them “out there.” You might receive some great news–or deliver it.
As long as you don’t overdo it, this is a great time to sell yourself, sign papers, make decisions, deliver speeches, and buy and sell. Your positive attitude lies at the heart of this opportune time. You may be feeling mentally restless–consider that restlessness is a signal that your mind is primed to learn more. If you are feeling nervous, you may have your finger in too many pies.
What does Mercury rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Gemini and Virgo on the cusp for areas of your life where Jupiter is acting to expand. Look to planets in Gemini and Virgo in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Jupiter is now infusing with optimism.
Jupiter transits sextile Mercury This is a time when you have an opportunity to learn things that will expand your vision, improve your business or business dealings, and boost your confidence. It’s generally a good time to buy and sell, sign contracts, and promote yourself and your ideas. Your life may feel a little easier as you now entertain more pleasant and inspiring thoughts, and your communications are well-received.
You may find that you are inspired to do more and to be more. Take advantage of this opportunity to put your best foot forward and to learn something that will benefit your working life and your personal relationships.
Jupiter transits square Mercury If you are now encountering some problems in your communications with others, it may be because you are not listening very well. Likewise, if your business dealings are frustrating at this time, it could be because you are not seeing the trees for the forest. Try not to gloss over critical details, and don’t jump into anything without first considering the consequences.
This may be an extremely busy time for you–the phone is ringing off the hook, you feel slightly behind in what you’re doing, and you feel somewhat overwhelmed by all of the activity around you. With everything that is going on around you, it can be hard to keep track of everything.
Jupiter transits trine Mercury Take this opportunity to learn something new. You are able to communicate your ideas effectively at this time, and it’s a favorable time to promote yourself. Certainly, your attitude is generally positive. Your interests increase, and you are mentally busy during this period.
Jupiter transits opposite Mercury This may point to a time when a particular plan or business deal/project that you started 6 years earlier is culminating or “bearing fruit.” It could also be a time when you are prone to making miscalculations based on an avoidance of critical details.
Jupiter-Venus Transits
Jupiter transits to Venus stimulate your desires to share pleasures with significant others and with friends. They urge you to find enjoyment in your life through leisure activities and/or romance. You may want to acquire new material goods as well.
Jupiter transits conjunct Venus You have a strong urge to socialize and improve your enjoyment of life through leisurely activities and romantic connections during this transit. It’s possible you sometimes feel lazy with regards to work and business matters, preferring to enjoy and indulge yourself.
On the other hand, you might pour a lot of energy into creative activities and hobbies, and if you happen to love your work or do creative work, then you might find this a particularly busy and satisfying time. Otherwise, you might want to schedule a vacation at this time.
You might end up spending too much money on frivolous items. This shouldn’t be a problem, unless you are already in debt, because pampering yourself at this time is in order. Overdoing it might be a sign that you are looking for satisfaction in the wrong places, however. A new relationship is possible with this transit, likely because you are more open to the possibility. You’re also more sociable, thereby increasing your opportunities to meet new people. This transit stimulates your desire to socialize, kick back and enjoy yourself, and reach out to others.
What does Venus rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Taurus and Libra on the cusp for areas of your life where Jupiter is acting to expand. Examine planets in Taurus and Libra in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Jupiter is now infusing with optimism and the urge for more.
Jupiter transits sextile Venus This transit may pass you by largely unnoticed, save for feeling rather friendly and sociable and a bit lazy. However, if you plan for it, you might want to grab the opportunities of the positive energies generated. Expand your social circle or simply make sure you get out there. Why? You are more friendly than usual, and you come across in a better “light” on a social and romantic level.
Because you have the opportunity to make a good impression, schedule an interview, ask for that raise, or make time for social activities. It may be subtle, but your demeanor is friendlier and more sincere than usual. You are that much more charming and feeling generous as well. It is also possible that you will attract money at this time.
Jupiter transits square Venus Overindulgence is the theme of this transit. Your desire for pleasure increases dramatically, and you are likely to overestimate your ability to indulge and get away with it! You may also come across as insincere or superficial at this time. There is a risk of overspending or overeating–both are symptoms of your inner restlessness. Indeed, it can be hard to focus on your responsibilities at this time due to a desire to spoil yourself with pleasurable activities. You need to exercise some moderation at this time.
Jupiter transits trine Venus You are feeling generous and romantic during this transit. This positive attitude can help you attract positive experiences and situations. You are very creative, and your social life is activated or enhanced. Jupiter is acting to expand your desire for pleasure, romance, and material goods as well. This is a favorable time to start a new endeavor, especially one that is intended for profit (unless, of course, there are other serious afflictions).
It’s also a fine time to start a new relationship. The only potential problem associated with this transit is the tendency to be a little too carefree and to pass opportunities away with an overly optimistic attitude. Keep your eyes open to potential opportunities.
Jupiter transits opposition natal Venus !This is not a good influence, although being an aspect between two beneficial planets, its power for ill is slight. It will, however, tend to cause some loss, whether financial, through travel or through dealing with religious people. Those who have influence in the social world will not be well disposed to you at this time; you should take care not to come into conflict with superiors or those who are in any way connected with the law.
This is not a good aspect for domestic affairs, or for any relationships that may be formed at this time. It is likely to cause some sort of disappointment or some temporary loss and difficulty. For example, someone to whom you are attached could go abroad or has some important engagement that will cause a separation while this influence is in operation. It is not, on the whole, a good influence for pleasure. In fact, there is usually a mixture of pleasure and sorrow combined under this aspect. However, with care, it will not affect you seriously.

Jupiter transits square natal Mars You may be overconfident at this time. Success and progress can be had during this transit, but only if you apply moderation to your efforts.

Jupiter-Saturn Transits

Jupiter transits conjunct natal Saturn When transiting Jupiter conjuncts natal Saturn, you are in the position to recognize those areas where you’ve been restricted or limited yourself.

You might grow a business at this time, and you’re likely to do so in a step-by-step, measured way. Legal matters may figure strongly. Unless there are other less fortunate influences on your chart, they’re likely to go your way. It’s best not to expect quick results.
This transit occurs approximately every 12 years. It often occurs three times in an approximately nine-month period.

It’s a good time for legal outcomes.
Jupiter transits square Saturn You’re doing a balancing act between an urge to grow and the need to set limits. As well, your optimism seems to compete with the need to tame expectations. Getting serious or disciplining and moderating your behavior may be in order, which can dampen your enthusiasm. It can be difficult to accept blocks, delays, or limits, but doing so may ultimately put you ahead. This is a time when you become painfully aware of where you’ve overextended yourself or overdone it. However, remind yourself that you’ll be more prosperous and satisfied later if you attend to some details now.
Jupiter transits opposite Saturn Some re-structuring of your life and/or your business goals is now in order. You may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because you are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as you had planned). While you have a desire to grow and expand, your attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. Perhaps what you want to do is not exactly feasible at this time.
It is a good time to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Some caution is in order regarding your finances, although you might find that you are able to get some help from older or more stable individuals at this time. Something is telling you to push forward and to expand and grow, but with a close eye on your limitations. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations.

Then you’ll return home with a more tolerant and accepting attitude toward your neighbors, as well as a renewed desire to share your newfound knowledge and experience with others.
Resist any temptation to preach to others or push your ideas too hard, for this would surely lead to disagreements and conflict.
Your curiosity about metaphysical sciences and holistic health will also increase during this transit, either because of your increased sense of experimentation, or because you seek cures for physical, spiritual or psychological wounds you’ve found difficult to heal. You may try such new techniques as meditation, yoga, acupuncture, aromatherapy, homeopathy, healing with crystals or laying on of hands. It’s possible you’ll work with others to bring about greater acceptance for these alternative philosophies. You may even consider a new career in one of these fields. — Interpretation from our Life Trends report.

Jupiter transits square Chiron
#You may have a tendency to get carried away with your beliefs, faith, confidence, and sense of optimism during this period. You can unknowingly set yourself up for a rude awakening or disappointment if you depend too much on your principles and theories. Coming to terms with your inner world and self-development is fine, as long as you avoid pushing your ideas, objectives, and viewpoints onto others, as they are less likely to find your visions and quests meaningful at this time.
You may feel set apart from the mainstream as far as your hopes, wishes, and expectations are concerned. Your faith may mislead you to believe that everything around you can be healed with positive thinking, yet much more effort is required to handle any personal hardship or crisis at this time.

There is a likelihood you will discover more about yourself through the experiences you share with a mate or partner during this period.

Jupiter transits conjunct Vesta
#Enthusiasm may be at an all-time high, and you set your sights on doing something meaningful and profitable in order to expand business, professional, or personal aspirations. Dedication, commitment, and courage allows you to get absorbed in any task, endeavor, or venture which you conceive has real value and substance.
If your work or a personal ambition is unfulfilling, you may search for greener pastures or look for ways to improve your current situation. You may gain insight through education, travel, business courses, or training in a specific field of interest to you. You will want to convince colleagues and professionals that you will extend yourself and serve them to the best of your abilities. Since some of your aims and objectives can involve work or interests outside family and romantic relationships, you will have to be open and honest with loved ones, who may be feeling a little left out in the cold.
A general description of transiting Jupiter – excerpt from the Sky Log report:
“Essentially, this is a call to recognize an opportunity. Traditional astrologers view it more starkly — to them, it is simply the planet of luck. And that is often the case: the toast does tend to land butter-side up when Jupiter is crossing sensitive territories. But the real, evolutionary meaning lies deeper. One key is that Jupiter is future-oriented…it is concerned with bright, unexplored possibilities. Stripped to its bones, Jupiter always asks one primary question: how have you been underestimating yourself?
Its transits signal a time when new opportunities come into existence, but to seize them you must recognize that you deserve them, that you are capable of rising to them, and that old deals and compromises are finished. Trust yourself, have faith in life, and go for it: that’s the spirit of Jupiter.”
