There’s one planet in our solar system that is known for bringing good things to one’s life – Jupiter. Jupiter is the “gas giant,” of the planets. It is also known as “the Greater Benefic;” a term that means all things good when it comes to fortune, luck, prosperity, and growth. For those that follow astrology and monitor their particular zodiac sign for guidance, then you may already be up-to-date on where Jupiter currently is, but if you’re not, Jupiter is currently in Aries and this is a year of bold opportunities for those who are seeking them.
For many centuries, people have turned to the stars for guidance. People look to astology to gain clarity on life’s events by following the patterns of the sun, moon, planets and the stars. There is a belief that these bodies play an intimate role in our daily lives, events, and outcomes. There is a belief that answers to many areas of life; such as, relationships, job opportunities, health, wealth, and even spirituality concerns, can be found in the sky. And how these celestial bodies effect your life, will depend on one thing, how they are aligned, and – your birthday.
There are 12 zodiac signs; one for each month. Each sign one comes with a description of charactertistics that someone born in that month may possess. The first zodic sign of the year is Aries.
Aries
If you have an Aries in your life, then you may know this person to be independent, bold, forward-moving, and someone with drive and determination. Aries are sometimes also referred to as passionate and lively, and they tend to follow their own heart. They can command a room with their confident personality, and take charge of anything that promises change for a better future.
Aries tend to be drawn towards art and creativity. Anything in the arts, makes an Aries happy, which is why you’ll often find Aries expressing themselves through their artistic abilities, whether it be creating, performing, or simply enjoying a variety of types of arts through others.
Due to their passionate nature, this can mean that Aries can eximplify high emotions and impatience. Aries are known for going from zero to 60 in no time. Although they may have a quick, fiery side, the good thing is when that emotion erupts, they’re able to cool the eruption back down to a simmer quickly. They may be fiesty, but they are also compassionate, charismatic, and have a desire to help others.
Jupiter
In astrology, Jupiter is believed to be a positive influence, bringing good fortune, hope, healing, prosperty and growth to your life. Jupiter wants you to succeed. And according to its placement in the cosmic, it can help you navigate through some of those big decisions; such as, career moves, travel, education, and relationships. Each astrology sign Jupiter transverses through gives you the opportunity to take advantage of Jupiter’s positivity, as well as the courage to take intentional, bold steps with confidence and optimism.
Jupiter hasn’t been in Aries since 2011, and as April of 2023, it has finally transitioned past pices and back into Aries where it will remain until May of 2024. Jupiter is currently in a strong, direct position in Aries, which means that now is the perfect time to cash-in on all of Jupiter’s opportunities and good fortune that it can bestow upon you.
Career moves
Career opportunities may present themselves this year. If they do, this might be the time to make the bold move to take it and use it to work toward your bigger goals. Whether it’s taking a new position, starting that business you’ve talked about for some time, or taking a job with a new company, make that move. Jupiter’s move into Aries inspires courage and leadership, so use this as an opportunity to take a leap of faith – just do it with a solid plan and open mind.
Relationships
Jupiter in Aries can ignite the desire for you to find and align yourself with a partner who is equal in your spirit and energy. Your endeavors may lead you to seek someone with an equally adventurous nature and drive for success. Keeping this in mind, relationships are built on mutual values and respect. With Aries’ need to be independent and in control, Aries’ often seek to find someone who is authentic, honest, and equally as independent.
Personal life
The powerful movement of Jupiter into Aries can spark the stronger attributes of an Aries to life, and some can become overzealous with these traits if they are not kept in check. During Jupiter’s transit through the Aries zodiac, it’s important to keep a healthy balance of the strong Aries traits you exhibit in your personal life. While independence and leadership are great qualities, don’t forget that leadership can turn to a “controlling” nature if it’s not implemented with the intent to lead. And independence can sometimes be viewed as a negative attribute if independence turns to selfishness, controlling, or demanding of others.
While Jupiter slowly makes its way through Aries this year, this is the perfect time to take full advantage of the positivities this shift can bring. This dynamic force can open doors to opportunites and growth that you might not get again for another year. The strong-willed, determined, confident and self-reliant Aries should consider their position in their many aspects of life and use this year to make those changes they’ve been hesitant to make.
Opportunity knocks, and now the stars and planets are aligned in your favor, so how can you not take that leap and see where it leads you? Good luck, good fortune and well being are all on your side this year, and this is the best time to get ahead while Jupiter sits in your zodiac. Don’t let a good opportunity get away from you, because it may not come around again for 11 more years.
