Jupiter In Taurus
Lightning Bolts
Just as Cupid has a quiver of golden arrows to inspire love, Jupiter wields lightning bolts of inspiration and vision.
An important key to working effectively with Jupiter is to embrace the opportunities and inspirations he presents (via the circumstances in your life) by taking swift action.
Jupiter transits work like a flash of lightning that illuminates the path to your future via vision, optimism and inspiration!
While his transits strike like a flash of lightning, they also can fade away just as quickly. The greatest benefit from Jupiter’s transits are achieved when you take swift action.
Jupiter’s inspiration followed by
effective effort result in reward
Shifting Gears - As Jupiter moves from the sign of Aries to Taurus, it is helpful to be aware of the energetic shift that you may feel in the ether of the cosmos.
While Aries likes speed,
Taurus likes to slow down.
While Aries seeks adventure,
Taurus seeks enjoyment.
Taking Time To Smell The Roses - As Jupiter moves into Taurus, you may feel like slowing down. When you feel the urge, take the time from your busy life to “smell the roses”. Taurus loves the fragrance of a flower, whether in your garden or in a vase on your dining table!
Consider accepting the invitation to slow down and enjoy what you have accomplished. This is akin to not living to work, but working to live. The sign of Taurus is best honored when you take time to appreciate the “roses” in your life.
Living Close To Your Values - From another perspective, while Aries likes to be excited and “give it a try”, Taurus encourages you to seek that which is most meaningful.
If you take the time to slow down and reflect on your life, Jupiter in Taurus will guide you to a greater understanding of what brings you joy and fulfillment.
Since Jupiter visits Taurus every 12 years, you may discover that some things that you valued in the past may no longer be as rewarding as they once were.
Jupiter in Taurus wants you
to recognize what is important to you
at this stage of life.
Lessons From The Past - Jupiter moves through the sign of Taurus every 12 years. In 12 year intervals, Jupiter in Taurus will move through the same house and make the same aspects to your birth chart as he did in previous cycles:
2011 – June 2011 and June 2012
1999 - June 1999 to June 2000
1988 - March 1988 to March 1989
1976 - March 1976 to April 1977
For anyone with Jupiter, the Sun or the Ascendant in Taurus, you might consider taking the time to look back at these cycles. Review your efforts, both successes and failures. Take note of who was in your life. Determine if it was a time primarily of career, family, education or healing.
By taking note of the circumstances in your life, you may identify a cycle of life chapters that have started around these times.
For everyone else (who does not have Jupiter, the Sun or the Ascendant in Taurus), reflect on what you want in life. You may come to recognize that your values have evolved over time and are appropriate for this stage of your life.
At various times in life, you may place a higher value on material success or on matters of the heart. You may find your values evolving toward travel, spirituality or volunteering and giving back to community.
Our values help to guide our decisions. As new chapters of life open, we often need to make important decisions. By ensuring that you are clear on the values that mean the most to you, you can make the best decisions possible.
Jupiter in Taurus is an opportunity
to re-visit your values so that you
recognize your priorities.
Summary - Jupiter moving through the sign of Taurus is an opportunity to slow down, “smell the roses” and be inspired for what is truly meaningful. May you “smell the roses” and move in harmony with the Sun, Moon and stars!
