This week, the cosmic energy shifts as Jupiter moves into fiery Leo for a 12-month stay. Party over HERE! Ruby Warrington wonders what kind of fun times this transit has in store for your sign…Images: Tim Walker for Love magazine.
I’m currently spending the majority of my time planning outfits for my first ever Burning Man festival (see “Aries”, that’s me, below) – and with cosmic jester Jupiter now in fun loving Leo, the sign that governs play, creative self-expression and LOVE, I can’t help thinking this is going to be a pretty epic year in the annals of Burning Man history.
Jupiter is also the planet of mind-expanding new horizons, spiritual discovery, friendship and cultural influence. For his part, the Lion brings the warmth of pure sunshine energy, a fierce, magnanimous, grace that thrives on drama and acts with unwavering confidence.
All this is to assume we’re in for a wild, wide-eyed ride in the year to come. But what will the Jupiter in Leo energy manifest for your Material Girl, and how will it rock your Mystical World?
ARIES
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “Self-expression is the true path to self-love.”
Material Girl: The most important thing on your mind as Jupiter hits up your pleasure-seeking fifth house? Your Burning Man costumes, of course. This shift in the cosmic landscape is putting the spotlight on your theatrical side, which means it must be time to bust out the glad rags and polish up your party tricks. But beware; “Indulgence” is another buzzword for you in the coming 12 months. You are familiar with the concept “too much of a good thing,” right?
Mystical World: Prepare to meet your muse, Aries. You could feel a newfound connection to your creative self during this transit, which is here to encourage an exploration of the many artistic ways in which you can express yourself. You could also find you feel particularly benevolent towards your lovers, as well as the children in your life, while fun times with both will feel infused with meaning and opportunities for personal growth. Speaking of babies, your fertility – reproductively and creatively speaking – will be at an all time high.
TAURUS
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “Wherever I lay my heart, that’s my home.”
Material Girl: The dream home you’ve been gazing at on your vision board all these years? Sure, the planet of cosmic gifts is heading into your domestic sector, but you can’t just expect it to materialize overnight. In the same way the Fairy Godmother was able to transform a pumpkin into a stagecoach, think now how you can use your considerable way with “things” to reimagine your abode. As Jupiter also heralds adventure, flea market finds will win out over off-the-shelf purchases every time.
Mystical World: Prepare to meet your maker on a whole new level – your mother, that is. You could see any lingering issues between you two in a new, more forgiving light beneath these skies, and find yourself extending an energetic good-will vibe towards your mama that has the power to heal rifts and bond you in a real new way. In fact, all your female relationships are well starred now and you’ll be steeped in awareness of what a gift the goddess energy of your girl gang really is.
GEMINI
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “I commit to put my money where my mouth is.”
Material Girl: It’s likely you’ve built up quite a nest egg with Jupiter in your second house of earned income. Now as the planet of expansion shifts to meet the entrepreneurial energy of your third house, is it time to take a leap and put some of that easy-come cash behind one of your big ideas for world domination? The cosmos has your back in matters relating to all things buzz-worthy in the coming 12 months, so what feels like a risk now could well reveal itself as your savviest business move yet by this time next year.
Mystical World: When’s the last time you really listened to your self-talk? There’s a wonderful opportunity now to clean up the way in which you communicate with yourself – the stories you spin, the mantras you live by – and emerge with a whole new empowering lexicon of me-speak. Your first step – a regular meditation practise to tune in to radio Gemini. From there, a subtle reprogramming of anything that doesn’t chime with the sunshiny, optimistic vibe of the times.
CANCER
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “Experience truly is what makes me rich.”
Material Girl: Here comes Christmas in July. Jupiter’s transit into your second house of cash and personal possessions suggests you should see an uptick in your earning potential in the months to come – or at least a nice fat bonus or two. A reward perhaps for all the work you’ve done on improving your sense of self-worth while Jupiter visited your own sign this past year? On a purely materialistic tip, this is most definitely the time to hit up the designer outlet stores as you’ll likely score some killer bargains.
Mystical World: You could also find yourself operating from less of a lack mentality, and feeling more generous as a result. Because giving is receiving, right? Going back to that piece about your sense of “self-worth.” If what we experience on the outside is a reflection of our inner life, then the riches you begin to see coming into your world now correspond directly to the wealth of opportunities for personal growth the coming year has in store. Embrace it all, in the name of internal and external abundance.
LEO
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “I choose to see the very best version of me.”
Material Girl: Fun! The time has come to experiment with the bold new hairstyle you’ve been considering, and invest a little time and money revamping your wardrobe. The theme of the coming twelve months is “image overhaul” – so who do you want to be? Sometimes the clothes really do maketh the woman, and as you love nothing better than trying on new looks with which to wow your audience, you’re sure to have a ball as you shapeshift your way from one social swirl to the next.
Mystical World: The first house is as much about your outlook as what you project, and with Jupiter bathing your own sign in a flattering, rose-tinted light, you could find you’re also more forgiving with yourself when it comes to your personal appearance – like you come with your very own Instagram filter built in. Choose to see (and be) the very best version of yourself when you look in the mirror, and you’ll appreciate the “wrapping” more too. Feeling lucky? Express yourself with the truest intentions and just watch the Universe deliver.
VIRGO
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “I surrender my healing to the generosity of my spirit.”
Material Girl: Your generosity could know no bounds in the coming year Virgo, as Jupiter’s stay in your twelfth house boosts your feelings of compassion for others. You always love to be of service, but usually in the name of getting the job done as efficiently as possible – and now your actions could take on a more altruistic vibe. As the laws of nature insist that you get what you give, you could find helping hands reaching out to you from all sides too – just what you need to start manifesting some of your more labor intensive visions in real time.
Mystical World: Okay here’s the plan. Get out your calendar and find a chunk of time you can dedicate to that once in a lifetime spiritual retreat you’ve always promised yourself. Jupiter is both the seeker and the prophet, and positioned in in your twelfth house of spiritual healing for the coming twelve months you’re being gifted with a unique opportunity for personal healing and spiritual development. So give your analytical mind a rest for once, and just allow yourself to feel your way into it.
LIBRA
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “My mind is the tool I use to lead us into the light.”
Material Girl: Your diplomatic outlook makes you a natural born leader, a quality which could really come to the fore and open doors for you under this transit. You’re the golden child now when it comes to any situation that gives you the opportunity to command a group project and reach for your highest ideals, so embrace these opportunities with gusto. You have a window to chart truly original territory with a loyal team by your side, and make a positive impact on the world around you in the process.
Mystical World: Where do thinking and feeling meet, Libra? Your most intuitive mind will be tuned to seek only the highest good in every situation involving others now, as optimistic Jupiter expands your ability to experience the real truth behind what you see and hear around you. This is also the time to experiment with dream analysis and pay close attention to what feel like bolt-from-the-blue ideas, as sudden insights are likely to lead to your most profitable gains in the months to come.
SCORPIO
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “The time to step into my personal power is now.”
Material Girl: This is it Scoripio, your moment to step into the role you’ve been waiting for. With Jupiter in your ninth house for the past year, you’ve likely been putting in the hours getting to know a subject you’re aching to conquer, and as the good luck planet now slides into the area of your chart ruling ambition, fame and long-term career, you’re about to be ushered into the corner office. Pop the champagne, but then be prepared to knuckle down to the hard work of proving yourself on the job. You can do it!
Mystical World: Who’s your guru, Scorpio? You of all signs know your own mind, and with a deep appreciation of the mystical and the occult, it’s likely you take on this role for many of your associates. But we all need some external guidance sometimes, even if it’s only to allow us to reconnect more authentically with our own inner voice, and with prophetic Jupiter in the area of your chart relating to authority figures, it could be that you discover a new teacher or spiritual guide this year. As they say, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
SAGITTARIUS
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “I embrace the unexpected and allow my mind to expand.”
Material Girl: What a year lies ahead, oh adventurous one! You love nothing better than exploring mind-expanding new horizons, and as outgoing Jupiter decamps to your ninth house, the area of your chart ruling travel and foreign cultures, you could find yourself living out of a suitcase in the coming months – which is just the way you like it. Even better, your travels and the people you’re introduced to along the way will likely expand your world in unexpected yet profitable new ways.
Mystical world: What are the burning questions you have for your own soul, Sagittarius? Jupiter is inviting you to a deep dive of what it means to you to be a spiritual being, which could mean investigating your past lives and your karmic journey. Have you had your Akashic records read? This journey into the “library of your soul” could be a good place to start, as you embark on a quest for enlightenment through self-actualization.
CAPRICORN
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “All the mysteries of the world are mine for the taking.”
Material Girl: What’s your take on combining business and pleasure? You could find yourself more inclined to take a risk on an office tryst in the coming months, as expansive Jupiter in your eighth house highlights the optimistic merging of assets, both financial and physical. Also be on the lookout for gift in the form of an unexpected windfall, investment or inheritance, which could be precisely the fuel needed to take a business transaction or partnership that’s been circling for the past year on to the next stage.
Mystical World: Having Jupiter in your eighth house, the area ruling fundamental transformation, psychic awareness, the occult and the invisible forces at play in the world (the numinous house, if you like), means you could feel like you’ve dropped into a scene from Harry Potter novel in the year to come. But Jupiter’s benevolent energy means you can trust that any messages that come though from the other side, or secret magical powers you discover you possess this year, will all be for your very highest good.
AQUARIUS
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “In seeking out my other halves, I find my own true strength.”
Material Girl: Here comes a whole new appreciation for the concept of commitment, Aquarius, not always the easiest idea for you to wrap your independent spirit around. But optimistic Jupiter in your seventh house of partnerships is here to show you all the fruitful potentiality of saying “I do” – whether in a romantic or a business sense. There’s power in pairing up, and having your caped crusader by your side in the year to come means you’ll be able to call your wildest manifestations in so much faster.
Mystical World: So what about your relationship with yourself? As the mind body connection is the most important collaboration of all, use the following twelve months to really examine the point where spirit meets flesh, and what happens when you nurture this partnership like you do your human-to-human connections. You could also find this exponentially opens up your capacity for social awareness and good will towards others, as you begin to view all your relationships from a more spiritually connected place.
PISCES
Mantra for Jupiter in Leo: “I purify my body to be of better service to myself and others.”
Material Girl: If you’ve been prone to overindulgence over the past year, with happy-go-lucky Jupiter touring your fun-loving fifth house, you’ll likely be feeling inspired to embrace a more clean and serene lifestyle as now the cosmic energy shifts to accent your overall wellbeing. And for a sign that loves nothing better than to while away the hours over a bottle of wine (or two), your enthusiasm for some more wholesome fun could feel nothing short of miraculous – just like the subtle physical upgrades you start to see as a result.
Mystical World: Your imagination knows no bounds Pisces, and now you could see opportunities to take your wildest inner visions and turn them into concrete projects that enrich your life and expand your horizons in real time. Your ability for self-analysis will be heightened also, and time on a therapists couch or working with a more esoteric healer could yield enlightening results. You’re also well starred to find precisely the right person to do this kind of work with now, but if you’re in need of some introductions check out our Nu Review for a Numi-approved selection of healers near you.
