Star Struck Style

Yesterday, I published a post discussing Jupiter’s imminent ingress into Gemini and how that would affect me. I noted that Jupiter will move into my ninth house soon, as well. That happens just a week into August as Jupiter is moving speedily through the zodiac at the moment. Then, while I’m in Las Vegas this coming October, the planet stations just half-a-degree away from my progressed Jupiter. It slides back into my eighth house in mid-December and returns to my ninth house in late March of 2025. At about this time next year, it finally catches up with my natal Jupiter in Gemini. It finally makes it to the top of my chart in October, but then it goes retrograde again, returning to my ninth house in December and finally exiting that sector in May of 2026.

I’m going to be in this for the long haul, so I decided that I didn’t want to put off figuring out what it all means. “Café Astrology” describes the transit as follows:

“An expansive, optimistic attitude is with you now, as you are less concerned about petty problems and inconveniences. You may have opportunities to travel, study, expand your horizons, and meet people who are of diverse backgrounds. You tend to become more intellectually curious, and academic matters go well.

You are open to learning, particularly about subjects that you may normally take little interest in. Furthering your education in any capacity is possible and is likely to be very successful now. Success in business is likely through expansion or connection with foreigners.

Advertising and promotional activities are highly favored and could be one of the main keys to business success right now. Legal matters may be especially favorable for you now. Authors could publish their works, expand their audience, and receive favorable feedback for their work. Educational and travel opportunities expand your horizons. Teaching or learning is favored, and writing flows easily.

This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws! Your mind is more expansive and tolerant, and you are under less stress than usual. You are less inclined to sweat the small stuff. Your priorities are easier to see, as you gain perspective on your life and its meaning. Your creative juices flow, and you generally benefit from robust health. Faith in your purpose and in a higher meaning to your life helps to ease stress and open doors for you.”

That is an exceptionally positive forecast! Of course, Jupiter is at home in the ninth house, so I should have expected a rosy outlook. I would be thrilled to expand my horizons because it feels as if all I ever do lately is go to work. I need to get out into the world more. I don’t necessarily get “wanderlust” when I’m stuck in one place for too long (my Capricorn sun/Cancer moon combo keeps me quite grounded), but I do get intellectually curious and eager to show the world my unique talents. That’s how I end up writing books and starting blogs. Perhaps this new phase will help to pique my curiosity and make me eager to meet people who share my beliefs. It’s happened before, so there’s no reason to believe that it won’t happen again.

In the meantime, I’m going to keep my eyes open to look for changes that might occur once Jupiter enters Gemini in just over a week from now. I’d be a fool to enter this new phase with blinders on. The horizon is pretty big place, after all . . .
