On May 10, 2022, Jupiter will enter enthusiastic Aries, bringing an active, assertive, and confident energy which will inspire us to be risk-takers and go-getters. This transit will boost our motivation to move forward with courage and optimism, even if we have to take the first step alone. Jupiter retrograde will cause this planet to retreat into Pisces in October 2022 before its post-retrograde re-entry into this dynamic fire sign in December. Jupiter in Pisces will encourage us to take an all or nothing approach in life. While this could increase our ability to create lucky opportunities instead of waiting around for them to happen, it might also cause us to start things that we can’t follow through with.
Believing In Yourself
Jupiter is the planet of wealth, growth, and luck that expands and illuminates everything within its energetic reach. Aries, however, is the high-energy cardinal fire sign of the zodiac, recognized for being an initiator, passionate creator, and impulsive leader. Aries actively chases adventures and lives for the thrill of life, and abundant Jupiter draws our attention to our future and the world around us — inspiring us to go on solo, long-distance travels and expand our mental horizons. Taking a leap of faith will lead us on new journeys and adventures that will help us form a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
This transit will bring a surge of drive and determination to follow our dreams and get started on the projects we’ve spent too long thinking over. Believing in ourselves and our ability to achieve will come with ease as Jupiter’s fiery voyage removes our self-doubt and elevates our self-assurance and optimism. Spiritual Jupiter is also the planet that fuels our faith and belief in a higher power. When Jupiter transited intuitive and other-worldly Pisces, it was easier to rely on our spiritual or religious beliefs when times got tough. We relied on hope when we couldn’t comprehend what was happening in the world around us and trusted the universe to guide us through any challenges we could not see a way through. In contrast, Jupiter in Aries could prompt a rise in activism as more people will step up to share their opinion on how world issues ought to be handled.
Taking A Stand
This independent energy will turn our focus on the individual self rather than the collective. Self-interested actions and an inflated sense of self may be a product of this energy shift, but we might see people stand up on behalf of their own needs and interests, which will inspire others to take a stand on the matters that are important to them too. As the planet responsible for inflation, Jupiter’s transit through Aries will inhibit our ability to think things through before putting ourselves out there. It’ll be easier to make rash judgments that we can’t take back and start projects out of boredom, only to abandon them when we lose the spark of excitement.
Work this energy to strengthen your self-belief, but avoid falling into a habit of putting yourself at the center of every story. Trust your gut instincts but take your time to express your judgments against others. Sharing your opinions will position you as a leader. You have the power to create ripples by standing up for what you believe in and motivating others to do the same. Put yourself out there to be in the right place at the right time to receive lucky opportunities and stop waiting around for luck to find you.
