Jupiter is associated with both luck and prosperity, it is known as the 'greater benefic' in astrology. It brings us stuff or so the story goes. Don't get me wrong, Jupiter is beneficial energy; however there is always a catch. The intent of Jupiter is to teach us to do good deeds, to be generous with both our resources and spirit. In science as in life—like attracts like and opposites repel, causing an equal but opposite reaction.
The role of Jupiter is to expand, magnify and grow but it also distorts . Think of the house of mirrors—in some we are tall, or have big heads, pin heads etc. The illusion of what we perceive. I played with a picture and made my head bigger—that might be what Jupiter in Aries sees when looking in the mirror—a head bigger than it really is. Jupiter has a tendency to blow things out of proportion.
Jupiter is one of the two social planets and has a twelve year cycle. So every twelve years it works its way through the same sign and for us all individually through the same house—i.e. the area of life—expanding and magnifying our experience of that facet of our lives. Jupiter reflects the bigger picture.
To read your horoscope and skip the intro click on your sign: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces
Currently the energy flows with ease and is rather speedy. The average cycle is about twelve years, but it varies. Jupiter is literally flying through Pisces and that began January 17, 2010. By June 6, Jupiter moves into Aries and in September returns back to Pisces. Previously Jupiter was in Pisces for a solid year, from February 1998 to February 1999. Not all years are created equal .
There are no guarantees in life, we all enter this world naked and leave the same. That we know is guaranteed. Along the way we look for guidance, assurance and affirmation that we are handling life to the best of our ability. Because Jupiter has been in Pisces since mid-January, I am certain astrologers have penned columns about the potential influence. All of it or none of it may apply to you.
For us water signs—Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio—this energy will inflate whatever is in motion already. There has been silence on the websites of this Scorpio, because in mid-January as Jupiter moved in Pisces we listed our house and sold it almost instantaneously. We also bought a new place, moved and are currently selling our old car because we bought a new one. We packed and unpacked with incredible speed. Dealings with the telephone company have driven me 'bonkers'—long story short, the assurance that I would keep my numbers turned out to be incorrect. Jupiter is in my third house, which is about neighbourhood, communication, cars, telephones, etc. All the issues have just been blown out of proportion.
For the earth signs, Jupiter in Pisces brings opportunities. Opportunities are funny creatures—unless we have prepared for them, they pass us by. This year, the 'second opportunity' arrives after Labour Day—September 8, 2010—and lasts until early next year. So work it, because you will also have preview of what is to come during the summer months, beginning with June 6. Then the first half of 2011 you can go for it with 'gusto'.
For the fire signs—Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, now is the time to make your plans, reconnect with your desires, aspirations while bearing in mind that what goes around, comes around. The energy we expand is met in return. When we do good deeds, those are paid back two-fold. When we merely go after what we desire, we might get a more meagre return on our investment of effort. During the summer of 2010 and the early part of 2011 the 'force' is with you so to speak.
For the air signs—Gemini, Libra and Aquarius—Jupiter in Pisces period may be somewhat uneventful. Things play outside your experience and/or cause adjustments to your behaviour. Let and let live might be the lesson. During the summer and the first part of 2011, it's a different story—new opportunities emerge and provided you have laid the appropriate foundation you can be in a position to seize the moment. See the 'scopes' for potential manifestation.
One thing to remember is that Jupiter's role is to magnify, to make sure we notice and then to expand whatever it might be for us. Despite the beneficial influence, we still need to deal with whatever life is throwing our way and with Jupiter's assistance those issues may take on a bigger role than we anticipated.
I found this image on a blog by four women writing about life. http://joyerickson.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/magic-mirror/ . Note with this image and its association to Jupiter, the skinny one should be looking at the voluptuous one in the mirror. Wishful thinking and surreal perceptions belong to the realm of Neptune. Jupiter is the one associated with exaggeration.
Jupiter is a planet of great expectations . With Jupiter we expect to win the lottery and when that great promotion, and the increased income is bestowed upon us instead, we feel let-down because we didn't get those millions. What Jupiter promises or leads us to believe this year and what he brings depends on what area is affected for each sign.

Bottom line: Whatever is happening in our lives is emphasized and things move along as if on their own volition, when Jupiter connects with planetary configurations in our personal horoscopes. Matters simply become bigger and exaggerated with Jupiter. Also watch how words and concepts return from about 12 years ago with a twist of course. With this one I was wondering why we still refer to the mini storage in the car as a glove box—who wears driving gloves anymore?
The scopes for the signs follow and I recommend you digest with a pinch of salt; i.e. common sense. These are generalized and you are more than your Sun sign!
March 19-April 19
During the time Jupiter is in Pisces, refer to timelines, it may feel that a guardian angel watching over you, what could be more perfect? Stay focused on that silver lining, because no matter what the year brings, there is always a positive outcome. Now is the time to get re-acquainted with your own inner workings, pay attention to your dreams, learn meditation or simply escape to a quiet place to contemplate life. Attempts to force an outcome aren't favoured, learn to trust, but also stop postponing the inevitable. Plant a seed for something that will grow with the years, be it a tree, a savings bond, baby or an educational degree. Try your hand at something new and unfamiliar.
June 5 to September 8 and part of 2011, Jupiter will be in your sign, and growth of whatever you have seeded is guaranteed. The role of Jupiter is to expand; it is up to you to germinate something that you wish to expand. This summer and next spring you are more likely to have surprising, 'out of the blue' opportunities, are you ready to seize them? Luck happens when opportunity meets with preparedness. While Jupiter is in your sign, refer to dates, pay more attention to your food consumption (less might be better) and plan clothes, car, etc. shopping with a budget in mind—you might just want more than your real budget allows.

April 19-May 20
Great expectations! Some of the more realistic ones are likely to be realized this year. While Jupiter is in Pisces (see dates above) is a great time for making new friends, establishing connections and learning about social issues. Rediscover your ambitions, aspirations and dreams for the future. While trying to move toward future and new goals, view new vistas—the past and its comfortable, familiar ways provide such an easy out. Stay true to yourself; follow the path that takes you where you have wanted to arrive for years. Attempts to pursue aspirations you never knew you had aren't productive. Instead sow the seeds for harvesting in two years.
While Jupiter is in Aries this summer (check those dates) and part of next year provides time for contemplation and letting go of goals that serve little purpose for you and fail feed your soul. It is a time to pay attention to your dreams, daydreams and what you would love to have in your life. Then ponder why you are not pursuing those and what self-made obstacles you have chosen to prevent reaching for the stars. Beginning in June 2011, Jupiter of expansion is in your sign; the time to grow your dreams and aspirations.

May 20-June 20
Career, social standing and relations with authority figures are of prime importance while Jupiter is in Pisces (check those dates). If you've played your cards right now the reward and acclaim are yours. Don't expect something for nothing this year. You'll be rewarded for the effort you have put in. Negativity is also a 'returnable' item. This year it's easy to slip into old modes of behaviour and to stay with the old and comfortable. Midyear brings surprising old encounter, someone to offer help and advice when you most need it. It may also prove to be the year when long-standing personal relationships become formalized. With any investments, loans and tax matters make sure to dot the I's and cross the T's; and read the small print.
While Jupiter is in Aries this summer (check dates in lead on) the Universe affords you ample opportunity to work and realize your dreams, this summer plant those seeds. For the first half of 2011 take advantage of those new opportunities, network, talk it up and take chances with the ones you want to realize and prepared for. Luck happens when opportunity meets with preparation.

June 20-July 22
Grand plans for the future! While Jupiter is in Pisces you are in for a busy, eventful and remarkable time. (Check out the dates) Travel, education and dreams play a huge role. Don't dismiss your hunches or premonitions, learn to have faith in your abilities and trust in a higher power. Taking care of your well-being may need to include visits to a chiropractor, a naturopath or simply testing the power of herbs to name but a few. An excellent year for pursuing higher learning, your mind is in high gear anyway, it'd be a shame to waste all that "brain-power". What are your dreams telling you; maybe you should look into that. Sports and physical activity in general is favoured this year, at the very least take in nature hikes (or even picnics).
This summer, when Jupiter is in Aries (check dates in lead on) and the first half of 2011, career matters and your aspirations take centre stage. It is also about changes in your status, which might mean marriage, beginning a family and naturally also a promotion at work. So while Jupiter is in Pisces, you want to make plans and seed something you want to grow over the next dozen years.

July 22-August 22
Money, investments and joint resources are in for a boost. Take a rational, conservative approach rather than follow hunches and you'll come out ahead. While Jupiter is in Pisces times is not a get rich period, although inheritance is more likely during this time than another. Joint resources can also mean that your spouse is earning more. The biggest event might be remodelling the bathroom; everything is relative to your situation. This is definitely a marriage year, or a welcome boost in boudoir activities. You can become a little obsessive over matters you find interesting, just avoid getting totally lost in them. (Check the dates)
This summer Jupiter gives you a preview of what smooth sailing could be like (Jupiter will be in Aries). Naturally Jupiter isn't working alone, which means that there is always a catch. This is a great time for publishing your writing, finding ways to promote your business and relatives are likely to be more prominently in the picture. If you have always wanted to learn something new, why not take the time to investigate your options for short term courses. Travel might also be a strong possibility—think of at a distance. Early in 2011 might be ideal. The early part of 2011 is also excellent for positioning yourself for a new job, promotion, etc. These opportunities roll around at about 12 year intervals, we just need to prepare and plan in order to be ready to seize those opportunities.
August 22-September 22
Partnerships, business ventures and relationship matters in general are bigger and more important; and at times all encompassing while Jupiter is in Pisces (see dates above). Everyone has advice to offer, whether you asked for it or not. If you like meeting new people and exposure to new ideas (which Virgo doesn't) now is the time. Be choosy when it comes to opportunities flowing your way, as you know a hunch or a feeling just isn't a good enough reason to commit to a venture or undertaking. You need to do a thorough cost-profit analysis, right.
During the months when Jupiter is in Aries, the theme of investments, mortgages and commitment becomes a vital one. When exploring your options it is best to get advice so that you don't chase 'fool's gold'. Our resources tend to grow with most ease during times when Jupiter holds court in our shared resources sector, as is the case for Virgo.

September 22-October 22
You'll be working hard this year. The rewards may not be immediate, in particular if you allow yourself to feel like a martyr. Sometimes Jupiter teaches us lessons—this one in humility, if you have mastered that one—this is a great year of new opportunities. Health and vitality look great; don't over-indulge when it comes to food. If you have become overly reclusive (so unlike you) in the past year, get involved in your community organizations by offering your services (your social calendar could over-flow). This is a great year for renovating your life-style, finding a healthy diet, etc. This is also a great time to gain new vocational skills.
Summer of 2010 and the early part of 2011, when Jupiter is in Aries (check dates above) brings new people into your life. Your social schedule is likely to fill up fast and your networking opportunities increase. Your significant relationship is also in for a bit of fun and expansion, taking things up a notch. It is about growth after all, and that is what life is all about—growing to our full potential.

October 22-November 21
Love and romance, creative endeavours and pleasant pastimes—just sing "I can overcome anything now"! This is your year to have fun and to enjoy life. Get totally immersed in pursuits that fuel your soul, and it'll be a breeze to take care of your responsibilities. Children's lives may be a big part of your life while Jupiter is in Pisces (check those dates), stay optimistic and focus on the future, don't get caught in the "web of current dilemmas". The written word flows readily—if you've always wanted to write— now is the time to take advantage of the inspiration. Communication channels, especially involving your feelings and emotions are wide open once again, resolve those issues. See dates
While Jupiter is in Aries, your workload is likely to increase exponentially. It may be harder to say no to new offers, because everything sounds so exciting. However, remember that it takes work to make something of an idea. Try to be choosy. If the urge to join the gym strikes, remember that this energy passes by rather quickly and this time in two lots—join for a year rather than a longer time.

November 21-December 21
Home, family and extended family become bigger than life. Your home may feel like the "grand central station with a revolving door". Make it cosy and comfortable as you may want to spend so much more time there. While Jupiter is in Pisces (check those dates) you are the source of solace and comfort for so many. It's a great year to learn to know yourself more intimately as well. You may even find yourself moving, as you crave for bigger and better, or simply lots of room to roam. A great project for the year would be to create a family album or tree, research your ancestry or re-connect with family members at large.
While Jupiter is in Aries your attention shifts to having some fun—baseball, cricket, golf, kickboxing, etc. anyone? Inspiration and ideas simply permeate the very air you breathe. The work must follow through the second half of next year and into 2012. Knowing that try to be choosier about which projects you want to grow in the future. Because of Jupiter's association of begetting children, the Jupiter in Aries months, might be an indication of an increase in family or the very first baby.

December 21-January 19
Expand your horizons while Jupiter is in Pisces (see dates above). Discover your immediate neighbourhood; learn a new skill or two. You have a busy year ahead with a need to learn to communicate effectively. You have emotions, feelings, needs and desires, when did you talk about them last? Write, communicate, sing—work those vocal chords. Mid-year brings a great sense of accomplishment. Forget rigid schedules this year; learn to be more flexible and adaptable. It's not what you are given but what you do with it that ultimately matters.
When Jupiter moves into Aries (twice, see dates above) family matters become important. You might be looking at changing your residence either for something bigger or more functional. Of course it could be all about your kids and their lives. Optimism is high during the time Jupiter spends in Aries—the bigger we dream the bigger we realize. Naturally in order to utilize those ideas we must put the work in. I expect Saturn in Libra is helpful, read about that in my Saturn column.

January 19-February 18
Pay attention to money matters, the tendency to over-extend is strong while Jupiter is in Pisces. When it comes to material things all needs and wants tend to become "have to have" or "I am worth it". Time becomes a luxury as the year progresses and you may have to learn to say "no" once in a while (and mean it) . Prioritize after you have assessed what is important and valuable to you. You may also find yourself more sensitive and impressionable than usual.
While Jupiter is in Aries (check the dates above) this summer and the first half of 2011, your life gets hectic. Lots of new stimuli and activity—you might want to engage in local politics, volunteer at your kid's school and you want to have your opinion heard. This is the ideal time to take short courses, learn something new—exercise that grey matter.

February 18-March 19
Jupiter is in your sign this year from January 17-June 5, 2010 and September 8, 2010-January 22, 2011. Optimism increases and life becomes exaggerated. Little things gain significance and the big ones become larger than life. It's a good year once you become accustomed to this new perspective. Remember the story about the "Little Engine that could"... that describes the year for you. As long as you keep repeating, I think I can, you suddenly can! Make the most of this time, because it is what you make it! This is an ideal time to take the initiative, begin something that feels rewarding to you. It might be an ideal time to consider higher education, to pursue a diploma, degree and even publishing your writing. Pay attention to your diet, it is easier to indulge and help yourself to another piece of pie, another bar of chocolate—thus easy to pack on extra weight. Pay attention to your dreams, helpful advice is buried in them.
When Jupiter moves into Aries, it is all about money, the value of your time and of course, personal worth both figurative and literal. In order for others to appreciate us, we need to appreciate ourselves. In hindsight this is typically a time we bring in more money but seeing that we are human beings we also tend to spend more; chanting I am worth it, darn it. The fix is simple, learn to budget; it is not what we make but the part we don't manage to spend.

On a practical level Jupiter governs the way things work, including processes in the physical body. Jupiter is the Santa Claus of the planets. In the birth chart it focuses on our hopes and dreams. It indicates those areas of our lives in which we express optimism, expansiveness, generosity, and success. It also relates to popularity, sometimes indicating overconfidence or extravagance. It shows us how to develop an idealistic or philosophical attitude and where to be impractical, excessive, or ostentatious.
What does the year hold for me?
Every year I post horoscopes for each of the signs.These are based on the Sun sign. Did you know we each have an entire horoscope of our own, which defines who we are and what our strengths and weaknesses are.
A great birthday present is a Solar Return Report; the Sun returns to the same place it was at your birth once a year and that chart tells you about what the year ahead has in store, specifically for you.

This report by Stephanie Clement integrates what Saturn promises in your life; and how and when it delivers on that promise.
Excerpt about the effect of Saturn return from this insightful report:
"The time of the Saturn return is good for clearing out the dead wood of a stagnant career, old relationships, and other things that are no longer useful to you. This is also a time of beginning. After any repairs to your life that seem essential, you can take off in a new direction. If you like where you find yourself, you enter into life's activities with renewed vigor. Finally, you put down deep roots that support you through the next 28 to 30 years successfully.
During this transitional period you learn a lot about yourself, about the people close to you, and about your long-term goals and desires. You test out the methods you have learned in the past and refine them as you go along. You may find (or recall) yourself looking into yourself . What have you personally accomplished? What have you had to endure, through no fault of your own, but because of circumstances? Where are you in terms of goals you may have set for yourself long ago? Are they even important now? "
