In the ever changing orchestra of Planetary movements, today Jupiter goes Retrograde at 20′ Sagittarius. It will continue to ‘moonwalk’ backwards until August 7th when it resumes forward motion at 10′ Sagittarius.

For the next 4 months we will be reviewing the Jupiter related things that have happened for the last 4 months. The Sagittarius Degrees of 10-20 are getting a workout (this is also known as the 2nd Decan of Sagittarius) until the end of October. Just like when Mercury goes Retrograde these degrees get re-viewed, re-vamped, re-tooled, re-novated, and re-done.

WHAT JUPITER RULES: Edu-ma-cation, travel, foreign policy and all dealings with foreign cultures/governments, storytelling, publishing, teaching, luck, blessings, opportunity, expansion, prosperity, conspicuous consumption (especially of alcohol), rich foods, sugar imbalances and religious rightiousness. It also rules myth, paradigms, archetypes, teams, sports, and group allegiances. Jupiter is the bridge between personal consciousness and group connections/alliances. Philosophy, ideals and belief systems and marketing.

JUPITER IN SAGITTARIUS:This is the Most powerful place for Jupiter - he is at Home - King of his castle. Here he wears the bright purple royal robes of the King and his highness deals in impersonal theory, concept and general policy. He loves a good time, a good story and the Royal indulgences to which he is accustomed. He believes he is fair (this reality is debatable), he is concerned with belief and religion, the search for truth, as well as the moral concepts of ‘right vs. wrong’. This is generally a good place for Jupiter, but it’s expression is up to the individual and can be used or abused dependiing on personal choice (and spiritual development).

IN THE NEWS: How is this playing out in the current News? This years Eclipses in Virgo and Pisces are in stressful relationship with Jupiter, which has created problems in the areas of Health, daily routines, pets (Virgo) and spirituality, the food supply and/or escapism/drugs (Pisces). Since last fall I have been concerned with our US food supply, but so far it seems that our pets are the ones who are suffering from tainted foods. This is not good, and only getting worse. Drug busts have been covered in the news for the past weeks. Sagittarius Celebrities Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith have been all over the newswires and these stories aren’t any where near over. Both of them have famous drug problems, but don’t rule out poison (Eclipses in Pisces) with Anna Nicole, this story is NOT over yet! We will hear a LOT more about both of these women for the rest of 2007. How about conflicts among countries? How about the Iraq war nightmare, not to mention the Britain/Iran waterspace hostage issue. And I haven’t even mentioned the political laggerheads between congress, the House, the Senate and the President. Talk about a conflict of Philosophy. But the good news is that since it’s JUPITER we’re talking about, ultmately truth and justice will be served - it’s only a question of how long it will take.

Clearly this Jupiter stuff is a major theme of the year - and this is because of the Eclipses. Each and every one of us is feeling it on some personal, philosophical level. But it’s always the individual choice how to express that energy - but first we need to understand how it’s effecting us. Perhaps knowing in advance could have saved us a huge amount of our current hassle today, we’ll never know.
