Big planet Jupiter is on the move next week which is big news. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the universe and the best planet in astrology. The big planet takes twelve years to circuit the zodiac bringing its blessings to each of the twelve star signs in turn.
In mythology, Jupiter was a Sky God, linked to expansion, benevolence and protection. Jupiter is the planet which represents travel, foreign connections, higher education, religion, the law, truth and justice.
It’s where you seek meaning and purpose in life, the bigger picture. Jupiter is the planetary archetype that reminds you to trust, be hopeful and have faith.
Jupiter In Leo
At the halfway point of the year, on June 30, big planet Jupiter leaves behind water sign Cancer and moves into fire sign Leo where it will remain for the subsequent thirteen months until July 26, 2027.
This adds power and strength to the planets in fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Fire blazes brightly and can flicker away gently or rage out of control. The element of fire is a lively and dynamic energy, the spark that ignites motivation, enthusiasm and excitement. Full of passion and desire, fire signs live life impulsively, embracing the new and chasing after adventure.
Leo is the only star sign ruled by the Sun. The planet of expansion and opportunity Jupiter likes to be in Leo where it can exude warmth and energy. Fire signs are full of vitality and enthusiasm and this suits Jupiter’s nature.
Leo is where you shine bright, it’s your essence, who you are and your true self. Jupiter can strut its stuff in Leo, take centre stage, be a performer, a drama queen and enjoy acting like royalty. This isn’t the time to hide yourself away but be loud and proud of who you are.
Leo is a star sign that likes to boss others around and is brilliant at taking the lead and being an efficient (party) organiser. Leo rules children and being around children can remind you of the innocence and vitality that children possess naturally. Play and fun are highlighted with Jupiter in Leo so discover what you love and do more of it. Be passionate, creative and express your natural talents.
Generosity and gratitude are Jupiter in Leo themes and can help you make the most of Jupiter’s transit through the fire sign Leo. At its best, Jupiter in Leo equals feeling happy. Although be wary of arrogance, pride and playing God, the flip side of Jupiter in Leo.
Look out for the Leos over the next year as they are going to be in the news or fanning the flames of fame. Wherever you have Leo in your own horoscope, this is where you can be brilliant, stand out from the crowd and wear your Leo crown.
Work With Jupiter
Jupiter is a cosmic reminder that luck is an attitude. Sit back and do nothing and luck may not find you. Have a big vision, be a risk-taker and have an invincible self-belief and you can fly.
Notice what appears in your life on the day that Jupiter enters Leo as anything that begins under Jupiter’s gaze promises success.
It may be the start of something new and positive in your life even it takes a while to develop because of the current Mercury retrograde phase. Pay attention to the signs and synchronicities. Where are you being asked to take a leap of faith?
Key Dates
July 20/21
Jupiter at 4° Leo will align with the three modern planets, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto on July 20/21. This is the Big Pattern of the year and could prove remarkable. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the world.
Leo is the star sign of rulers and kings and Jupiter in Leo will be opposed by Pluto in Aquarius, power to the people. Who will come out on top? I’ll be talking more about this next month.
July 29
The Sun/Jupiter conjunction takes place once a year and this year, it falls at 6° Leo on July 29. This is a glorious combination as the Sun excels in Leo and Jupiter expands what it touches. It’s perfect for gifting others, shining brightly and being generous. Be open to receiving abundance too.
The only proviso is that this falls on the same day as a Full Moon in Aquarius. Therefore, it’s another opposition and potentially a similar theme to what’s going on July 20/21. Whatever takes place, it’s likely to be emotional and dramatic. Who will wear the Leo crown?
