Reflecting on Jupiter in Aries

Readers of this newsletter who’ve been here for a while might remember that I used to share quite a few thoughts about astrology in this space.

In more recent times, I took a step back from my astrology practice to focus more deeply on tarot, and to re-evaluate my relationship with modern astrological trends.

But I never truly “quit” astrology: It has remained part of my personal spiritual practice all this time, as it has always been.

And so I hope you don’t mind if I reflect a bit on astrology today.

Jupiter has been a major influence for me lately. Maybe it’s because my sun is in Aries, and my moon in Pisces, and the planet of exuberance and optimism has been traversing through both signs this past year.

But Jupiter is now full steam ahead in Aries until May 2023, when it enters Taurus. The presence of Jupiter in Aries feels significant to me for so many reasons, mainly because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and marks a new Jupiterian cycle.

It takes 12 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun, and the benefic planet spends about one year in each zodiac sign.

Jupiter in Aries is the start of new opportunities for expansion and achievement. In the sign of Aries, it can help us reach new creative heights. It pushes us to ask, “What am I ready for next?”

What new roads are you ready to travel?

What kind of risks are you willing to take to become the next version of You?

Where are you ready to put greater trust in yourself in order to thrive on your terms?

These are questions I’ve been sitting with recently. And as I do, I feel my heart reaching towards new adventures.

I’ve enrolled in an art class this winter.

I’m investing even more of myself into my tarot business.

I’m exploring new ways to write.

What are you reaching for? What are you aiming for?

The efforts made in the months to come are just the beginning of a longer story in your life – a story that will unfold in all kinds of ways throughout the next 12 years, as Jupiter charts its course around the sun.

What map will you be left with by then? What new directions will you have written down for yourself?

Key Jupiterian qualities include joviality, optimism, and generosity. What new lessons await for you when it comes to learning how to bring these qualities forward into your life, and into the world?

These are all questions I welcome you to sit with in the months ahead. I will join you there, musing and meditating upon the same.

And if you’d like to meet and talk about these things together – your map, your destiny, your direction – I have time available for tarot consultations right here.

Until next time,
