Jupiter entered the sign of Pisces on May 13th, 2021 for the first time in twelve years.
Jupiter as the Greater Benific
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and is traditionally known as “The Greater Benefic” which means it is a really good planet.
Jupiter takes twelve years to do a full orbit of the Sun and it spends about one year in each sign.
This loosely relates to the Chinese Astrology of twelve years of the Rat, Tiger and Monkey etc.
Jupiter will be in Pisces until 2022.
Jupiter’s Sign Rulership
Jupiter is the planetary ruler of Sagittarius and it is also the traditional ruler of Pisces before Neptune was discovered.
This means that in traditional and Hellenistic astrology Jupiter will be in rulership in Pisces.
During the year that Jupiter will be in Pisces, Saturn will still be in Aquarius.
This means that both of the large planets will be strong in their own signs.
Who This Will Affect
Over the next year, I anticipate that if you are an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) or a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), Jupiter will be more prominent for you.
If you are a fire sign (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) or an Air sign (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) sign then Saturn will probably be more influential for you.
As Jupiter transits through Pisces, it will affect each ascendant sign differently.
Check out how Jupiter’s passage through the sign of the Fish is likely to influence you by your ascendant sign below.
Aries Ascendent
Spirituality
During the next year you can anticipate a deeper connection to spirituality in your life.
If you are open to personal evolution, use this time to explore mysticism and your connection to faith, religion and how you see God.
Embrace meditation, prayer or yoga as tools to guide you through this time frame.
Live Your Dreams
This is the perfect time for you to create a dream for your life.
The first thing to do is to start a dream journal.
Every morning as you awake, jot down the main details about your dreams.
Déjà vu, visions, insights or flashes of inspiration that you receive during the day need to be paid attention to this year.
You can tune in to your clairvoyant abilities and use them to your advantage now.
Solitude
You probably will feel the urge to retreat from life a little more than usual now.
It is important that you have an adequate “me time” where you can spend an afternoon alone or maybe even a weekend to recharge your batteries.
Rest and recuperation are keywords for you this year.
They say if you can count the number of friends you have on one hand you are doing well.
Not everyone has a large pal’s network, but Jupiter’s passage through Pisces offers you some ideal moments to broaden your connections with companions.
This will be an impeccable time for you to grow your network.
It could be that your entourage, or the people you know, gets bigger although you may not necessarily consider them BFFs.
Friends and associates that you meet now potentially will have a lasting impression upon you.
Learn Together
Try to reach out to other people and keep connections going.
Share what you know with others.
It can be very easy to forget about classmates and before you know it, months have gone by.
Every week reach out to someone just to say, “Hello.”
It is as important for you and it is for them.
Groups
Anticipate moving in different circles with evolved people who have thought-provoking conversations and whom you see almost as visionaries.
Be alert to any “a-ha” moments that can improve your life.
The ideal place for you to go would be to a book club where you can learn new things.
This is the perfect time for you to publish anything that you’ve been working on it could be a book or it could be a blog post, or it could just be your opinion about something.
The important thing is to share your ideas with the world.
Jupiter will support you in getting your word out to the masses.
Educate
This is an ideal time for you to sign up for some adult educational classes or go back to school to finish that degree.
Use this time to explore thought-provoking subjects that interest you.
Anticipate an abundance of learning this year.
You may be surprised at the journey you take as you improve yourself through knowledge.
Travel
Although many cities are still in lockdown, you are likely to receive great offers to visit other places.
Become an armchair traveler, by reading books about the places you will visit one day.
Focus in on the art, architecture and cultural practices of other countries.
Consider every opportunity carefully but try to do some travelling this year.
This will be a time when other people will offer you things.
You are likely to receive many gifts but some of them will come with strings.
Be very aware of offers to up your credit limit is and, as tempting as it may be, think carefully before excepting every opportunity offered to you this year.
Intimacy
This is a period where your private life is likely to grow.
All intimate relationships have the potential to become more satisfying.
If you’re naturally retiring, you may find that you are now open able to open up to explorations in the bedroom.
Donations
Donations will be a feature of this period and they could go either way.
You may need to lean on the support and resources of other people which could be presented either in time or money, alternatively, you will be approached to donate to other people.
It could be as simple as spending a Saturday night looking after someone’s grandma or it could be a huge sacrifice that you are being asked to make if someone requests an organ donation from you.
For all Virgos, your primary one to one relationships will be of paramount importance this year.
If you are single, you are likely to meet someone really special.
If you are already in a relationship, you will find newfound happiness with your significant other.
Make sure to spend enough time together so your relationship can grow and blossom.
Collaborations
This is the perfect time to collaborate with others.
Typically, it may come down to a business relationship where you decide to work together for a common cause, or you may establish an official partnership, so that you can both benefit from the synergy of working together.
Consider every opportunity and don’t dismiss any out of turn.
Take an optimistic attitude and you will benefit by working with other people this year.
Other People
This will be a time when you are extremely likely to meet more people.
Not everyone will become your best friend, but how do you treat people that you do meet in passing will be important now.
Make sure that your karmic message of care, respect and how you treat other people is impeccable, because your action now will come back to you later.
If you are a Libra, this is the time to get your day-to-day life organized.
Create simple morning and evening rituals to help you withstand the ravages of the day.
Health
Choose to focus on healthy eating that nourishes your body and wards off ill health.
If you need a medical check, get it done early and use that as the set point for all improvement.
Do not ignore any sniffles and act immediately for the slightest cut or graze.
Job
Your job is a focus this period.
If you are unemployed. you are more likely to find work now than at any other time.
If you are a part-time employed and looking, opportunities will come your way.
If you have a job already and are quite happy, you may find that you receive job offers that you had not considered.
The important thing to bear in mind during this Jupiter transit, is that there may be other ways of working on a job that you had not considered before and which might be just what you need.
This is a year where you are likely to move house and depending on who you are, you may relocate multiple times.
Jupiter brings the urge to expand, so it could be that you want to get an additional room added to your home or work on finishing the basement.
You will have multiple good ideas through which to express this planetary energy.
The trick will be to know when to stop and not to take on a project that is way beyond your capabilities.
Family
In simple terms, your family is likely to expand this year which could happen in several ways.
A new child may be born, your daughter’s boyfriend could decide to move into your basement, or perhaps you take in your ageing parents to care for them.
Be prepared for people to be visiting and those who do will stay over a little longer than you had anticipated.
You are generous of spirit and this is the time to offer your home as shelter and succor to others.
Foundations
The foundations of your life will improve.
These changes can be shown in several ways.
You may finally accept the past and the family that you were born into as being OK.
This is a period to tap into your heritage and use it to support you as you go about your life.
Make sure you understand the origins of your family and choose to embrace some of these ideals in your current life.
2021 can be an important year when you get to know who you are and where you came from.
In your astrology journal, and referring to your natal chart, please do the following:
Decide on the condition of Jupiter in your natal chart.
Find the house that transiting Jupiter is in now.
Note which planets and points Jupiter will conjoin, oppose and square (use a one degree orb) as it passes through Pisces.
State the date that Jupiter will change houses for you as it transits in Pisces.

We have experienced several challenging planetary placements in recent years. I am of course referring to the Uranus Pluto square which has had astrologers and laymen alike buzzing with excitement.
Enter the Jupiter Uranus fire trine.
Whilst it is typical that we have both easy and challenging aspects within the zodiac at any one time, it is the individual and combined mixture of flow and resistance between the planets making the aspects that shape our lives.
That Uranus appears in both aspects (square Pluto and trine Jupiter) is telling. He seems to want to fit in and stick out at the same time.
We can live with this.
Aspects
One way to interpret an astrology chart is by a technique called aspects
Astrological aspects are the angular distances between the planets.
Every planet has a measurement in degrees with the other planets but only certain angles are noted in astrology charts.
By dividing the circle of 360 degrees by any whole numbers we get the aspect angles.
The Trine Aspect
If you divide 360 by 3 the result is 120 degrees (360/3=120) and this is the size of the trine aspect.
Two planets that are 120 degrees apart in the zodiac will be in trine to each other.
The aspect degree does not have to be exact but can be within 8 degrees (the orb) either side of 120.
So when the two planets become between 112 to 128 degrees apart they are considered to be trine to each other.
Transiting Jupiter Trine Uranus
When the slower planets like Jupiter and Uranus trine each other it is to be noted.
It is a phenomenon that only happens around every six years then there is a gap of seven years before the next trine.
The elemental sequence is fire, earth, air then water. With two trines in each element, one waxing and one waning trine. Then it slowly shifts into the following element.
The Jupiter Uranus Synodic Cycle
Jupiter and Uranus have a fourteen year synodic cycle.
This means they are together and Jupiter (which is quicker off the mark) races off around the zodiac as Uranus moves forward slowly. Jupiter will catch up with Uranus around fourteen years later.
In 2010 Jupiter was conjunct Uranus at zero Aries. They will next be conjunct in 2024 at twenty-one Taurus.
Looking further forward in 2037 22 Cancer direct and in 2038 at 20 Cancer retrograde.
This shows the conjunction moves around either 30 degrees when at the retrograde three pass conjunction, or around fifty-one to fifty-four degrees and fourteen years during a one pass direct conjunction.
Because there is a trine in place for such a long period, when planets pass through the other fire sign of Sagittarius, they will create a fire grand trine when they trine both Jupiter and Uranus.
The most frequent planet to do this is the Moon.
It will provide huge opportunities and original approaches to how you can use that planet in Sagittarius.
The trine from Jupiter offers good things in line with your natal planet being aspected and the trine from Uranus offers unique and up-to-date solutions which allow things to move forward with ease and flow.
Get fired up!
Fire is all about inspiration. It gets the juices flowing and everyone hot under the collar. It gets people raving about things and issues. It creates fireworks and burning issues. We can get incandescent and want to burst. We are filled with bright ideas and get excited about anything with fire in it like dragon’s breath, candlelight, torches, barbecues and camp fires.
As the planets wander through the sky they change positions against the backdrop of the zodiac.
This movement can be like a dance as everyone (the planets) take their place and enter the stage.
At anytime one or two of the planets will take center stage as the others fade into the background for a while.
Planets in prominent positions may have a story to tell, and we listen.
This time it is Jupiter as he enters the fifth sign of Leo. A fire planet (Jupiter) in a fire sign (Leo).
Up there right now the biggest planet in the solar system and the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter, is entering the zodiac sign of the Lion.
Jupiter in Leo Imagery
I often use the imagery of a hot air balloon to explain the astrological meaning for Jupiter.
Balloons are big, brightly coloured and when they drift by you simply can’t miss them. Much like Jupiter.
The collective noun for balloons is a festival of balloons which brings a fun and exciting element to ballooning. Much like Jupiter.
They travel on their journey, but to who knows where? Much like Jupiter.
They are filled with hot air or gas, and balloons will explode if over-filled. Much like Jupiter.
They often broadcast a message from their sponsors or promote special events (such as at sports events) written in huge letters on the sides of the balloon. Much like Jupiter
And I would imagine that the people who do take a ride in a hot air balloon say a prayer before launch. Much like Jupiter.
I have always fancied trusting the woven basket and journeying on a balloon flight and perhaps one day I shall. Much like Jupiter.
Benefits of Jupiter in Leo
Jupiter in Leo is especially good news for the fire signs and that means those with strong fire signs present in their birth charts.
I will tell you I am strongly Leo myself and I have been waiting for a while now for this shift in energy as Jupiter changes sign.
If you have an Aries, Leo or Sagittarian Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Jupiter or other cluster of planets in these three signs you will benefit during the upcoming year as Jupiter goes through Leo.
If your business chart has the fire signs emphasized as well your business can experience huge growth now.
If you are strongly Gemini or Libra you will see some support and some good things. You need to grasp any opportunities fleeting as they may be.
If you are strongly Taurus, Scorpio or Aquarius could face the difficult side and this may suggest the over excessive situations as mentioned later.
Those of you with strong Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces may not see much change although you will try to make adjustments this year.
How can you make the most Jupiter in Leo
Jupiter in Leo is upbeat, positive and outgoing. It encourages taking chances and aiming higher in life.
Leo is the sign of the theatre and when planets enter the “stage” they will play their roles to perfection.
Using the theater analogy, Jupiter in Leo can either be the highly colorful swashbuckling much loved hero or he can be an overly costumed blow-hard in a pantomime.
The down side of Jupiter in Leo can be over-extension, over-doings things and excessive behavior. Or just too much of a good thing.
Pace yourself and all will be fine.
Jupiter in Leo, what’s in it for you
Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion.
It has to do with reaching for things just out of your grasp but it is the reaching that is important.
We like to s-t-r-e-t-c-h ourselves when Jupiter is active.
You can lift your eyes to gaze at your horizons.
Now is the time to aspire towards previously laughable dreams. Dust off your visions and start to believe.
When Jupiter is prominent by transit, and if it contacts your chart, you can raise your profile and aim for more in life.
Jupiter will support activities in broadcasting, promotion (self and business), publishing, gaining knowledge (as opposed to information), adult education, religious temperance, international travel and cosmopolitan situations.
Jupiter in Leo reinforces the theatre and daily dramas. See them for what they are.
We now refer to Jupiter as the co-ruler of Pisces along with the modern ruler Neptune.
Jupiter’s Orbit
Jupiter takes twelve years to make one journey around the Sun.
With a dozen zodiac signs Jupiter will spend about one year in each sign.
The timing is not exact but is pretty close.
Chinese Astrology Calendar
Jupiter’s orbit is loosely aligned with Chinese astrology which has one sign for each year and not each month as in western astrology.
You can see the slight permutations in the movement of Jupiter through Gemini when you line it up against the Chinese astrology signs.
Dragons, Snakes or Horses
People with Jupiter in Gemini born between:
1900 to 1966 are either Snakes or Horses
1976 to 1978 are either Dragons, Snakes or Horses
1988 to 2025 are either Dragons or Snakes.
Jupiter in Gemini – Detriment
Detriment of a Planet
When a planet is in the sign opposite the one it rules (in this case Jupiter rules Sagittarius) it is said to be in its sign of detriment.
Ptolemy had much to say about the essential dignities of the planets and when a planet is found in its detriment it receives a weighting score of -5.
Jupiter’s Tradition Detriment
Jupiter is in its tradition sign of detriment when in Gemini.
This indicates the planets energies are not able to function particularly well or reach their full potential.
Of course as always, a full analysis of the Jupiter complex is needed to appreciate its position in any chart.
The planet of breadth has met the sign of information.
Jupiter Transits Gemini
What to expect:
Information overload
Urgent messages need to get out
Outrageous media reports may not all be true
You will have a finger on the pulse of what’s going on
Online magazines will become the norm
Ebook publishing market will explode
You will broadcast yourself even more
Short forms texts and tweets will become expressive
Headlines will be too good to be true
