JUPITER’S TRANSIT THROUGH PISCES 2021 – 2022

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment
Salvador Dali & Brigitte Bardot

JUPITER’S TRANSIT OF PISCES : 29 DECEMBER 2021 – 10 MAY 2022 & 29 OCTOBER – 21 DECEMBER 2022

On December 29th Jupiter ingresses into Pisces, marking Jupiter’s return to his ruling sign after a very short toe dip into Pisces from 14 May – 28 July 2021. 2021 was a small taste of Jupiter’s influence and favour; his retrograde back into Aquarius for the rest of the year delayed this transit getting any real progress past the 2 degree’s point. Jupiter, last transited Pisces from 19 Jan 2010 -7 June 2010 & 10 Sep -23 Jan 2011. Looking back to what made that timeframe unique helps to inform how this transit might manifest.

Like all astrology, these transits are cycles of time that have certain tones and themes that help define or bookend life under there cycles of times. Jupiter when transiting Pisces is a strong and defining cycle thanks to Jupiter being in his rulership in Pisces. Jupiter gets to do all the things he likes doing, under his terms. A wonderful change from the past two years where Jupiter was under the rulership and in the domain of Saturn and all his rules and restrictions.  The last time Jupiter was in his rulership was 2019 during his transit of Sagittarius, Zeus’ other ruling sign. 2019 wasn’t too bad a year from most accounts.

Jupiter embodies hope, vision, expansion, optimism, belief’s, truth, morals, justice, travel, righteousness, lessons, teachers, philosophies to name a few. Jupiter looks out far and wide to navigate and seek truth and wisdom for the ‘betterment’ of people and humanity. Jupiter is enthusiastic and always seeks truth. Jupiter can have its downfalls for example there is a tendency to over-do it or only see the positives; however, as the greater benefic Jupiter gets a pretty good wrap in Astrology, when he is in his ruling sign, Jupiter excels.

Pisces is a mutable water sign noted for its depth and ability to adjust and evolve. Pisces is an extremely intuitive sign with an energetic quality which is both transcendent and encompassing. Pisces meets Jupiter in its ‘bigness’ but not all of Piscean energy can be seen or rationally explained. Pisces energy likes to encompass the all. Artistic expression and artistry are also dynamic Piscean qualities.

When Jupiter and Pisces meet, we get to submerge and bath in its waters as we attempt to find or create wholeness in a what feels like the most fractured of times and situations. Will the dams burst open ? Will all the pent-up water or emotion begin to flow during this transit? Perhaps. This transit is great for compassion and creativity as we work through the fall out of the past two years. Jupiter while in Pisces helps to smooth over some of the rough edges and carve out a space for compassion allowing to connect more deeply to the area of life that Pisces lords over in your chart.

Neptune is co-present with Jupiter in Pisces during this transit, in April it will be making some powerful aspects which heightens sensitives and creativity but also has the potential to dive too deep into escapism and delusion. A separate post to come on this topic however it’s good to be aware of April’s potential for the above themes and topics.

This aspect will be one of the highlights of 2022’s astrological calendar but it will not be working alone. Saturn will still be in Aquarius (also in its rulership) working to a different end in other aspects of astrological landscapes and Mars will also be strong during this Jupiter transit. Where some aspects of your life will feel feed and nourished. Other areas will require you to do the work or will require focus and work hard. These energies will work simultaneously.

Jupiter’s transit of Pisces will be a nice softening and breaking up of the more difficult transits we are coming out of, but it won’t be the only thing at play during 2022. Harnessing and indulging into where Jupiter offers you lesson’s, compassion, transcendence and an opportunity to expand both in optimism and intuition; will be a good thing after two years of rigid contraction and repression. Allowing us to tap into the reservoirs of our soul for regeneration and rejuvenation rather than just for survival.

THE VENUS RETROGRADE THROUGH CAPRICORN 2021/2022

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment

Charlotte Gainsbourg, photographed by Glen Luchford.

On 19th December we begin the journey of Venus’s retrogradation through the sign of Capricorn, continuing a story or making progress from when Venus was last retrograde in Capricorn (21 December 2013 – 31 January 2014). Venus retrograde’s every 2 years, in different signs for a 40-day / 40 night period. Every 8 years she repeats signs. Each retrograde cycle Venus physically disappears from our sky’s and does her much fabled underworld journey. Reappearing as a morning star as Venus completes her journey through the underworld where Hades / Pluto resides.

We experience Venus, when retrograde as a revisitation, re-assessment, re – evaluations, new insights and readjustments to Venusian topics. Venus governs over relationships, pleasure, values, desire, possession’s, aesthetics and beauty to name a few. While Venus is retrograde these topics are more in-focus or the desire to be more aligned is unavoidable. Its time to deal with the stuff. The sign and house in which Venus is retrograde through, helps tells us what this story might be for the individual.

2021/2022’s retrograde cycle is in the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn. Capricorn is a sign which Venus has no essential dignity in and is a sign which grounds Venus bringing her back to more simple and earthly pleasures. Capricorn is more dynamic than mainstream astrology gives it credit for as it has a wonderful ability to holds space for the material, practical, creative and spiritual aspects of life simultaneously. Capricorn is dynamic and supportive, it initiate’s and helps to contain the strong virtues and possession’s Venus likes to acquire. In Capricorn, Venus may appear a bit more dressed down, but that doesn’t take away from her desires.

Pluto is a key player for Venus this retrograde cycle, as Venus and Pluto hold strong aspects through the entire cycle. Venus stations retrograde on Pluto which puts her in aspect to him for a month, rather than the usual two or three days. Venus then carries this powerful plutonic energy with her as she does her underworld journey, stations direct and with these new insights or discovery’s bringing them back to Pluto in the first week of March 2021. She presents to Pluto / Hades the fruits of the retrograde cycle, along with her new found discoveries or initiations from the realms he rules over.

Pluto isn’t the easiest of planetary energies to be working with and has a strong focus on power, control, hidden dynamics, wealth and things that have been buried or suppressed creating a real pandora’s box situation. This particular Venus retrograde cycle is very much about unearthing hidden dynamics and uncovering power plays or control dynamics in the areas of life Capricorn rules in your chart. This isn’t easy stuff that this particular retrograde is throwing up but by looking back to the 2013 – 2014 retrograde that you might find some clues.

In summary Pluto will be bringing an intensification to this retrograde cycle with topics or issues that may have been tucked away or not noticed before; being brought front and centre. Pluto has many hidden pathways and there might be moments of feeling lost or buried by some of pathways that present during this cycle.

Pluto, Venus and Capricorn all represent great wealth in various ways so there is value in really engaging this process, there is gold that will be mined and there are gems to be gleaned from this process. Engagement and working with anything that gets brought up is vital for this retrograde cycle to allow for safe travels through these plutonian realms. Ignore it at your own peril, as Pluto will never go unanswered.

2021/2022’s retrograde cycle might be a bit dirtier and a bit more work than other Venus retrograde cycles but the potential for it to clear out and detoxify things that are dead or of no value anymore makes this particular cycle extremely potent. This is a very rare dance that Pluto and Venus are doing over the next few months but one that will be ripe for some big personal alchemy. This is not a cosmetic exercise and new depths and understanding of the self is intimidating as Venus Pluto aspects are some of the most powerful cycles that astrology can offer us. What makes this cycle so unique, is the length of time they spend influencing each other for this particular Venus Retrograde cycle and that is where the magic lies.

Enjoy the journeying xx

NOVEMBER’S MONTHLY ASTROLOGY 2021

NOVEMBER’S HOROSCOPES 2021

November is a spicy month astrologically speaking with many aspects which might present some challenges, especially mid month. Mars, enters Scorpio its ruling sign by the 1st of November. Having mars in such a strong position can help motivate and create strong momentum in the area of life that Scorpio rules in your chart, getting to the bottom of any challenges or understand the mechanics of this area of life is helpful. Mars only transits this area of life once every two years.

However as Mars transits Scorpio, it will square Saturn in Aquarius which is a planet also in its rulership but also a planet which is the antithesis of Mars energy. Saturn likes to go slow and take’s its time to make sure all the checks and balances are in place, mars likes to push through and works with allot more urgency. Having these two malefic planets in a challenging square aspect will trigger one of them to be frustrated. Mars when frustrated gets aggressive, Saturn when frustrated, clamps down and suppresses . As they are both in fixed signs that rule, the tension between the two will be extremely noticeable with neither wanting to concede Watch this space.

After squaring Saturn, Mars then moves on to oppose Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is a change agent which speaks to autonomy and freedom. When combined, both Mars and Uranus can create a very volatile, unpredictable and explosive dynamic. Challenges or opportunities, as Uranus can present opportunities will have a more urgent quality thanks to Mars, igniting the situation. The feeling of having to do something NOW, might be all consuming. Be careful handling this energy as it is very much a potential tinderbox, that could go in any direction.

The new moon on November 19th is a lunar eclipse on the fixed star Algol, making it anything but a nice and friendly full moon. Algol is a difficult fixed star, which has some very heavy connotation’s and attributes. Having the lunar eclipse on it makes it a volatile and unpredictable full moon. Unseen dynamics are at play and being very mindful with how you interact with this energy is important. This lunar eclipse is also the introduction to a new 18 month eclipse season on the Taurus / Scorpio axis. So we are shifting from an eclipse cycle on the Gemini / Sagittarius axis and moving into the Taurus / Scorpio axis. A lunar eclipse on Algol is anything but a subtle introduction.

Finally on the lunar eclipse, Venus reaches her retrograde point for her upcoming retrograde cycle in Capricorn, which will be spoken about in my next post. Moving through November, it will have its challenges, but by months end we look to a time where these dynamic and energies ease. By December, we enter a time frame that doesn’t have so much complex transits occurring simultaneously. It’s going to be an interesting ride.

A 50 word sign by sign breakdown below.

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS @29° 💫
CONJUCT JUPITER 
SUNDAY 22 AUG 2205 AEST 

Today’s full moon is the 2nd Aquarian full moon in a row, making it a blue moon. Our previous full moon was in the early degrees of Aquarius and in aspect to restrictive Saturn, making it a harsher lunation. Today’s lunation is conjunct an optimistic and uplifting Jupiter, creating an all-together different experience. 

A full moon conjunct Jupiter is a thing of beauty and a wonderfully uplifting aspect. It allows us to see/appreciate the things we DO have in these extremely trying times. Along with creating an-air of optimism and opportunity to expand ourselves, to raise our spirits, helping to find moments of joyousness in uncertain times.

2021 is hard, things are changing, and we are adapting, today’s lunation is a lovely moment in time to embrace theses changes and look for the opportunity to grow within these new parameters or limitations imposed by saturnian figures or situations.

We also have today; the Sun is in its last degree of Leo, finishing up its yearly transit in the sign it rules. Venus is now in Libra, another planet back home in its ruling sign; finally, Mercury is also strongly placed in Virgo also its ruling sign. We have some lovely planetary support at this full moon, making a dynamic skyscape. 

Despite all the setbacks, the challenges, the restrictions; today is a wonderful opportunity to settle in and bask in the wonder, the opportunities and the lessons that have gotten us to THIS point in time. Having so many planets in rulership now is the time to bask in their glory and graces before we duck dive into the tail end of 2021 and it’s Astrological landscapes.
