Jupiter moves into Aquarius on January 5, 2009 for its year-long transit through this forward-thinking sign. After its march with Pluto into Capricorn throughout 2008, this archetypal change will bring much needed fresh air! Even in the midst of contracting realities and budgets, Jupiter can intuit opportunities ahead. Watch for internet podcasts to explode as Jupiter in Aquarius gets its message out to the masses.
Our intuition, or right-brain and sixth sense, evolves and expands as Jupiter moves through the zodiac. Jupiter relates to the principle of growth as well, both positive and negative. In Aquarius, we may receive repeated messages about the future. Several things may be happening – leaping ahead or defending the past because we fear to change the status quo.
The archetype of Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, relates to the individuated un-consciousness. When Aquarius is activated the unconscious mind releases all kinds of information up into our conscious mind. This doesn’t happen in a nice a-b-c fashion though. We must make sense of the repeated messages that pop up again and again.
There may be messages related to the past - within both current and past lives, which we must process through in order to heal and liberate from the past. Aquarius also relates to the archetype of “shock and trauma” from events, which can create PTSD – post-traumatic stress disorder. The current economic upsets may be re-triggering financial stress of all kinds, collectively and individually. Souls may feel paralyzed.
When PTSD re-surfaces, Jupiter can bring about broader understandings to the old events. This can allow us to move on by recognizing the lessons we need to learn from painful events of the past. Many souls will experience old memories popping up into consciousness in order to heal. Jupiter can show us new ways to become more fiscally responsible, or hold healthy boundaries in relationships. We may recognize more natural spiritual principles which allow us to look at past hurts and heal them.
