Joy and Progress—Jupiter in Gemini
May 14, 2024 - June 9, 2025

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and growth, and while this is usually a benefic influence it can sometimes expand unpleasant or undesirable influences as well, but generally Jupiter is all about growth which helps us find moments of joy, happiness, and gratitude through achievement and positive developments. Jupiter’s transit through the Zodiac is much faster than the other large planets, however, and only spends about 1 year in each sign.

Aries

Jupiter is in your third Zodiac house, which means that opportunities for learning and sharing knowledge are heightened during this transit. The third house also rules siblings, so relationships with your brothers and sisters or childhood friends is likely to be elevated. Take advantage of that time to deepen bonds and grow closer.

Taurus

The second house transit of Jupiter is one of the most sought after, since the second house rules means (finances and other resources). But this rarely results in the material riches most people expect since the second house is about resources, not money, where fortune is instead ruled by the eleventh house, and it is more likely to find an increase in opportunities for earning money or establishing other resources, just not necessarily money itself.

Gemini

When Jupiter transits the first house of self we find that our sense of identity and accomplishment to increase. Sometimes this can come after a period of turmoil and during the transit might fail to recognize that in reality it was in fact a time of significant personal growth in which our sense of self and purpose in life is either renewed or rebuilt. Sometimes we can, however, mistake this confidence as validation of our behavior, which is not necessarily true, and risk establishing deluded and destructive behavior which will cause us much loss and pain in the future, as Jupiter promotes expansion of all that it touches, even that which is undesirable.

Cancer

Jupiter is transiting your twelfth Zodiac house of spirituality, endings, and the unknown, and while this is karmically a positive influence it can in fact sometimes feel disorienting or even demoralizing if we have gone through periods of tumult, conflict, or loss, and in fact Jupiter is trying to help us move on with our lives into bigger and better things in the future by leaving the past behind and all that was destroyed with it. Embracing that opportunity and being grateful to the Universe for helping us out will deepen this experience and help set you up for more productive transits in the future. In the meantime, take care of yourself, take time alone as needed, engage in introspection, and practice inventory therapy to nice, quiet music over a good cup of tea or coffee and a full stomach.

Leo

The eleventh house rules friends and fortune, and while the influence of Jupiter is always significant it is not always obvious, and you may pass this year without recognizing the friendships and opportunity to achieve that Jupiter is giving you, especially because of other harsher transits about control and delusion in other houses which may be occupying most of your attention. If you do miss this opportunity that’s okay, Jupiter expands all that he touches and every transit can be used to grow and find joy, and in twelve short years he’ll be right back here once more for a second chance.

Virgo

Jupiter is transiting your tenth house of society, which concerns our public image and reputation as well as our career (which is different from actual work), and you may be noticing an obvious increase in the chatter and traffic surrounding you and your reputation. Don’t let this influence delude you, however, as even when people admire us it can be for shallow or unearned reasons, and we shouldn’t actually care too much what others think of us, instead build your foundation for your sense of self by working from within and living up to your own expectations, then when this influence is over you will be able to continue believing in yourself when the adoration is gone.

Libra

The ninth house is the natural home of Jupiter, and during this transit there is immense potential to delve into subjects that might otherwise have given you pause (for instance writing a book about the science of spirituality that includes understanding of practical astrology that is unique to history). Take any opportunity to grow your mind, philosophy, and experience during this time, as it will only benefit you in upcoming transits.

Scorpio

The eighth house and Jupiter transit is a deceptive influence because it may increase our sense of power and control, but we don’t really have power and control over anything but our own behavior (not even our own emotions are within our control!), and since humans instinctually desire control as a survival instinct most people take the opportunity to delude themselves without question. This influence may in fact expand opportunities to assert yourself over your life, just make sure it is in ways that are healthy, productive, and morally right, otherwise you will set yourself up for incredible problems in the future.

Sagittarius

Jupiter visiting the seventh house of partnership can indeed be auspicious if you have a partner in love or business, helping to grow and deepen those bonds through shared experiences and camaraderie. Completely opposite to many astrological interpretation this influence does not at all increase the odds of establishing a relationship, however, because those catalysts occur in more individual influences and transits of the birth chart. So if you are alone you may have to remain that way in spite of this Jupiter transit, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have opportunity for love in the future. Just keep an open heart and work on yourself, remembering that you can give yourself everything you expect of others.

Capricorn

The Zodiac sixth house transit of Jupiter is an excellent chance to restore your health and stabilize your work. In fact, because this is the house of labors it covers all the things you must do daily in order to care for your own wellbeing, and it is possible that this transit presents as an increase in responsibilities as well. If that is the case, meet them with eagerness because it will help you create the life you want. Jupiter does not override other influences, but it can help a great deal if struggling with health, work, and self-care issues.

Aquarius

The fifth house concerns creation and includes things like art, love affairs, and conceiving children, so it is likely during this time you will be more creative than usual—making art, writing books, producing films, meeting an exciting romantic prospect, or getting pregnant. Take advantage of this time because it is quite short, but can leave you with truly beautiful new parts of your life.

Pisces

The fourth house transit of Jupiter is one of the most wonderful because it increases your home and family in a literal sense. You may get a larger home, or more family members or more time with them, and it is an excellent time to stabilize your life and grow in security and stability. Enjoy this transit because issues with family and home are rarely this auspicious.
