After all the shock treatment from Uranus and Pluto in the Cardinal signs, and the heavy handedness of Saturn in Scorpio, it is a relief to be able to write about the big planet, Jupiter moving to one of its favorite signs, Leo. In many parts of the ancient world, people liked to build these megalithic monuments, like Stonehenge, Pyramids, etc., which were not created for their usefulness, but just for the purpose of grandeur, power, and for the fun of it.The energy of Jupiter in Leo, can be akin to these monuments, and many wonderful and exemplary human creation has happened in the name of fun and play and this is the time for it.
Jupiter is considered the Santa Claus who brings with him gifts and luck. However, depending on the sign to which he is moving, some will be more luckier that others. This depends on the aspects that Jupiter makes to the natal planets. If you have Sun (or other planets) in Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius, then it is generally a lucky time as Jupiter will be making easy aspects during his approximately 1 year transit of Leo. The more planets that you have in these signs, the more opportunities and benevolence you will find at your doorstep. Of course nothing happens if you don’t take action and so this is a good time to plan and make things happen as luck is on your side. Even Jupiter needs a little help from you to bring the luck!
Nature of Jupiter in Leo: Leo is a sign of creativity, hobbies, falling in love phase, fun and play, grandeur, entertainment and performance, children, affairs…and many more things that are related to your heart and passion. BTW Leo rules the heart in medical astrology. Leos likes to do stuff in a big way; if they want to throw a dinner party, then they like to bring out the silver wares and have a 6 course meal fit for a king. Yes! didn’t you know that Leo is the king (or queen) of the jungle and hence a bit better than rest of the humanity? Jupiter in Leo is all of this and more! Jupiter is the expansive big planet of the zodiac that likes to explore and in Leo its intrinsic nature is magnified as both Jupiter and Sun (ruler of Leo) are fiery fire archetypes, have abundant energy and like big things. So stuff can happen in a real grand way when these two get together. So expect some fanfare and party.
So if you have been planning of a fun project, a passion that has been on the back burner for too long, a hobby that you have been longing to pursue…then go for it now, as the planets are on your side. There is a negative side to all of this which is not so hard to guess. One can get carried away, not know how to handle the excess energy (it there is no outlet), go overboard with spending, love, grandeur, and pleasure seeking.
Jupiter Return: This is especially important if you are having a Jupiter Return in Leo (meaning you have Jupiter in Leo in your natal chart) which usually brings with it a lot of luck. Things that were stuck will move a bit faster, you may receive the support you may need, money will come from somewhere, and you may think it is Christmas all year around! Ok, this is a bit of an exaggeration but generally it is considered to be lucky when Jupiter returns to its natal position. The natal house and sign position of Jupiter will show where the luck will be expressed.
Jupiter Trine Uranus: Transiting Uranus has been in Aries for a few years now and Jupiter will make 3 exact trines with Uranus during its transit in Leo. Jupiter and Uranus together can create sudden luck situations like winning a lottery. So if you have been hoping to try your luck in the lottery, this may be a good time.
