Every year, Jupiter—the planet of expansion, higher education, and philosophy—moves into a new sign, casting its glow on the realms of life represented by this sign. Where Jupiter is placed represents the areas of our society that are highlighted and experience growth as well as where we may individually seek a path towards greater understanding.
Today, Jupiter moves from egalitarian, the-future-is-now Aquarius (where it’s been since January 5, 2009) to compassionate and artistic Pisces, where it will be through June 6, 2010 and then again from September 9, 2010 through January 22, 2011 (from June 6 through September 9 it will make a temporary foray into Aries).
As Jupiter strides through Pisces, our collective awareness may turn to such realms as the oceans, fish, artistry, mysticism, glamour and fashion, the cinema, heightened compassion, and a sense of the unity of it all. Pisces represent the ideal, the space where we are all connected, where universal and unconditional love exists.
As we may strive for this, this isn’t oftentimes what our “reality” reflects so when there is heightened Piscean energy—such as when a planet resides in this sign—there may be a greater urge to want to numb the feeling of disillusionment we may feel (for some, this may be through substances—drugs, alcohol, or food—while for others this may be through activities such as shopping or television watching). It’s especially important to be extra vigilant in the coming year if we find that our desire to escape becomes self-sabotaging to our health, relationships, and/or general life course.
As Pisces also carries with it great inspirational energies, we can tap into these as a means to help work through the feelings of sorrow, confusion, or disappointment to which we may be connecting. For example, as Pisces allows us to fuse with the unseen, it can help usher in a great wave of artistry. Regardless of the medium—whether it be painting, photography, poetry, music, et al.—channeling Jupiter in Pisces energy through acts of creativity can be nurturing and healing.
With Pisces being the sign of the mystic and the coalesced everything, tides of spirituality may peak during this time, becoming more apparent and accessible. Practices such as prayer, meditation, yoga, ecstatic dance, and kirtans can be especially uplifting as we embark on the Jupiterian journey through Pisces.
As Jupiter travels through this sign, those with planets in Pisces will experience a sense of expansion. Unforeseen luck may very much come their way. While new opportunities and lessons may present themselves, it’s always important when Jupiter’s activating your personal chart to still be diligent and not rest upon laurels. This way the gifts you receive can be transformed from the potentially ephemeral to that which takes root.

Yay for the Fishes dance!! With my Sun in Pisces as well, I understand your desire for doing a little celebratory jig.
Gotta say so far 2010 is not good for this fish.(15 March)
Job hassles – and as low on confidence as I have ever been…. When is it going to turn around…???
Been bad since late Feb and I have been taking action..
Hi, David. I am really sorry to hear that things aren’t going well. Jupiter will come back over your Pisces Sun later this year which may bring some opportunities for growth and learning. Yet, there is a lot going on more so than Jupiter now. It’s hard for me to give more specific advice than that given that without doing a personal chart session, I do not know where your other planets are and how they may be being impacted by the tense alignments of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto, which seem to be causing a lot of challenges for many people. If you would like to do a personal session, you can email me at Stephanie AT PlanetaryApothecary DOT com. If you would rather look to find other information instead or before, I would recommend using the astro.com website, where you can find some free reports. The Short Report Forecast may be especially of interest. Note though that it is far from comprehensive and the reports look at horoscopic factors in a more piecemeal way. That being said, they can provide some helpful insights that you may find beneficial. All the best to you, Stephanie
