What Jupiter in Aquarius means for you in 2009

On Monday Jan 5, 09 Jupiter enters the 11^th Sign of the Zodiac, that of Revolutionar airy Aquarius at 10:42 am EST/ 7:42 am PST/  3:42 pm GMT to spend the entire year. 

With fiery expansive Jupiter, the biggest planet, in Aquarius we get the combo of  Jupiter ruled Sagittarian-like  inspirations for truth, travel, justice, education, philosophy, religion, teaching, foreigners, gambling and optimism, combined with Aquarius’s emphasis on change, innovation, technology, freedom, individuality, humanitarian group think, and higher consciousness. Jupiter is also the traditional ruler of Pisces the most spiritual, dreamy, foggy, escapist and delusional of all the signs, so add that as well into the cosmic stew.

The modern ruler of Aquarius is the planet Uranus- the wiggy planet which orbits at a 90 angle. The traditional ruler of Aquarius is sobering Saturn, because traditionally the naked eye could only see 7 “planets” which relates to the charkas, days of the week, etc, and the cycle of Saturn itself which governs the different “ages” of  body development. So Saturn also holds sway over and influences Jupiter’s sojourn through Aquarius this year.

And Saturn is presently in Virgo and will have its 2^nd and 3rd oppositions toUranus twice this year. The first exact opposition happened on election Day 20008. So, I find it very synchronous that both  the traditional and modern rulers of Aquarius are actually duking it out in real time and space through out this year. Who’s gonna win? Jupiter loves gambling.

The ruling planet of a sign is referred to as the dispositor.  For example, Pluto is now in the sign of Capricorn for the next 15 years. Pluto is of course modern co-ruler of Scorpio. So Pluto’s influence is always Scorpionic, that is always pertaining to death and rebirth, waste, power and control, secrecy etc.  Capricorn is ruled by Saturn in both ancient and modern Astrology, So we’d say Saturn influence’s and disposits Pluto when in Capricorn.  Saturn itself is now traveling through Virgo until later this year when Saturn enters Libra briefly.

So Saturn it seems is working overtime this year, you’ll remember that Saturn is in Virgo, the workaholic sign. So all of Saturn’s energies this year are being filtered through the lens of Virgo at the moment, this means the areas of work, service, community, health, perfectionism, organization, meticulous record keeping, accounting, communicating, a symbolic late teenager moving into adulthood stage. 

So without further ado let’s get to how JUPITER’s gonna zing up your life in 09.
