COSMIC WEATHER:

“If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.” – John Maxwell

Expansion is the keyword for us today, as the powerhouse Sun annually conjoins Jupiter (10:41 am), the largest planet in our solar system associated with growth and opportunity. With Sun-Jupiter, we tend to think big. We also are more inclined to look at the bigger picture.

Psychologically, it is thought that we don’t want to be confined or hemmed in any way now. We also may tend to have more faith that things will work out, as long as we hold on to the dream.

Astrology refers to Jupiter as the “planet of luck” or abundance. It’s associated with prosperity or an easing of circumstances.

Traditionally, Jupiter has been described as having a more protective quality to it. Jupiter is also linked with faith, optimism, and our own sense of humor. Too, a case could be made that when we are more optimistic and positive (Jupiter), we often seem to attract more positive things to us i.e. the “law of attraction.”

So, with Sun-Jupiter today, we may consider doing things that help to broaden our scope of influence. Make us feel that we are growing versus stagnating. Perhaps heed John Maxwell and get out of our comfort zone and do something grand!

This Sun-Jupiter conjunction is also occurring in “initiating” Aries, the adventurous sign of “new beginnings.”

Fascinatingly, a quick peak back into history also shows that the very last time the Sun and Jupiter had their meetup in pioneering Aries, “Nunavut,” an Inuit homeland, was created from the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories to become Canada’s third territory (April 1, 1999). So, Canada literally “grew” in scope with Sun conjunct Jupiter.

Also back on that date, both the Sun and Jupiter were exactly trine to transforming Pluto in visionary Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter), which was also a good time to symbolically “restructure” (Pluto) things.

The “shadow side” of Sun-Jupiter: We may need to be careful that we are not too wasteful or extravagant with our resources. That we don’t over-commit or over-promise. We also may need to guard against over-indulgence.

Some famous people born with Sun conjunct Jupiter: Mick Jagger, Woody Allen, Garth Brooks, and Anais Nin.
