Jupiter in focus April-May 2022

On the heels of the April 12 Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction (0º angle) in Pisces, on Tuesday May 3rd Jupiter will come in Sextile (60º angle) to Pluto at 3:33 PM PDT.

It is interesting to note that the 3 most significant aspects of this year (Jupiter Sextile Uranus in February, Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in April, and Jupiter Sextile Pluto in May) all involve Jupiter, as well as the 3 slowest moving, collective planets which affect whole generations.

Jupiter in Pisces (Dec 30, 2021-May 11, 2022) intensifies our idealism, compassion and empathy towards those less privileged than ourselves. It expands our consciousness, invites us to take risks inspired by a greater vision, promotes an enthusiastic need to increase public welfare, and encourages deep emotional sympathy. We are likely to become more introspective, search for inner fulfillment, and require solitude to heal.

However, the danger of this position is for egos to become over-inflated, floating away in dreams of personal glory, and for over-imaginative minds to indulge in exaggerated self-agrandissement posing as big-heartedness. We could become quite disoriented, wasteful, have a hard time coping with a reality that seems too boring or harsh, and seek some form of escapism. During this transit, It is not uncommon to feel impressionable, restless, and indecisive, as well as engage in extravagant, -and somewhat unreliable, behavior.

If we can find contentment in simplicity, remain kind, easy going, friendly and devoted to integrity, real growth unfolds. These 4-1/2 months are offering a powerful chance to renew our faith in a Higher Power, turn away from purely materialistic greed to tap into our deeper spiritual resources, embrace our visions, and develop our generosity. A certain level of self-sacrifice might also be required, as well as a healthy dose of humor.

The Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction exact on April 12 -which influences the whole of April, inspires us to implement our visions, trust in a better future, and approach life with a renewed sense of compassion. Turning to our inner life brings some solace from an outer world becoming increasingly scary and disappointing. However, our judgement could be quite distorted. Previous beliefs bring a sense of disillusion. Falling prey to a dream world devoid of connection to reality encourages a false sense of happiness. Exaggerated promises lead to risky financial ventures. We could feel gently vague, seduced by the promise of easy riches, drawn into a cult, or overpowered by a leader who turns out to have nothing more than an inflated ego. At this time, wishful thinking, gambling, as well as being overly gullible and naive, bring high risks.

Discriminating what is real from what is fantasy could be quite tricky under this transit. A deep need to retreat in activities that inspire our soul and trigger our imagination (drama, poetry, music, danse, photography, cinema...) seems appealing.

It is required at this time that we ground in concrete life our wish to transform the social order by giving others a helping hand. If we manage to implement our visions through the development of our intuition and the broadening of our understanding of the infinite possibilities of life, we can make a real difference in the world.

Jupiter Sextile Pluto exact on May 3rd -active the whole month of May, can bring volcanic emotions. The hidden, darker aspects of occult sects and organized religion, the manipulations and corruptions of political leaders, as well as the power of enormous amounts of money hidden from public view and long concealed heavy secrets, could be revealed in the most explosive of ways. Deeply buried insecurities could inspire excessive dare-devil attitudes, as well as as be at the root of exaggerated sensitivities and destructive over-reactions.

Issues related to oil, mining, and underground resources make us increasingly aware of the need to recycle, and without hoarding, have enough food and water reserves for a few months. Large-scale communicative efforts will make masses of people aware of how strong we can be if we unite our forces towards a common goal.

On a personal level, it is essential that we expand beyond our perceived limitations and seek The Truth. If we believe in ourselves and ground our visions in integrity and hard work, our faith can move mountains, and free us from the blocks standing between us and the fulfillment of the life we were meant to live.

Jupiter Sextile Pluto brings the possibility of understanding the deeper meaning of life through a spiritual rebirth. Success comes to those who are confident in their extraordinary abilities, their constructive leadership, and their desire to inspire others to their own greatness. We are given a chance to rejuvenate situations that had become stagnant and eliminate negative conditions through generosity, tolerance, negotiation and creative changes.

In Loving Light!
