On June 7th 2010 Jupiter entered Aries for the first time in 12 years. Spending about a year in each Zodical sign, Jupiter had jovial time visiting each 30-degree section of the sky. In October 2010 it did a little retrograde dance and slipped itself back into the mystical and transcendent arms of Pisces where it will stay until its final break with Pisces on January 23rd 2011. Jupiter will then remain in Aries until June 5th 2011.

In the arms of Pisces, mystical dreams were enhanced. Transcendence and joy the norm. It was a time of great illusion as well as delusion, a time for dancing, poetry and vision. It was also the time for endings as Pisces represented the last sign in the Zodical Cycle. Jupiter represents a beginning. Jupiter entering Aries represents the beginning of action. Mars bears his weight onto the expansive Jupiter, making this a time for far-reaching action.

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Jupiter or Jove was the king of the gods, and the god of sky and thunder. He is the equivalent of Zeus, in the Greek pantheon. Jupiter is also the planet of Good Fortune, the jovial planet. Jupiter matched with Aries, although there can be a clash here and there, are paired for the next few months to offer the energy to stand up and get something done. Clears away the watery mirrors of Pisces, and asks you to take not only the action itself, but the right action.

For me, a simple water sign, action can be proverbially elusive. With a little help from our Sky God, perhaps I can make a few goals into reality. Turn a new relationship. Draw down a good espresso. Walk an extra mile. Read to the end of the chapter. Find the goal easy this time.
