Jupiter Returns

Jupiter Returns...

Ready to Grow? Jupiter Returns Expand your World!

A Jupiter Return will likely bring growing pains, but if you go with it, you'll find luck, fortune and a new philosophy on life by the time it's complete.

Approximately every 12 years, Jupiter returns to the sign of your natal Jupiter. When this happens, you have a Jupiter return.

Jupiter returns force you to grow and expand your world. They are thought to bring luck and good fortune, but the essence of the transit is growth. A Jupiter return transit may have you learning a new skill, meeting new people, going new places, doing a new job, etc. It's an expansion beyond your usual world. By doing new things and meeting new people, you are likely to have good fortune because you are creating new opportunities for yourself. It's hard to achieve something new or meet the right person if you never leave your house. So yes, Jupiter brings luck. But it just isn't as simple as sitting around waiting for luck to arrive. There are usually painful growth pains that come first.

Jupiter Returns are about more than Luck & Fortune...

It's quite common for a Jupiter return to start with a seemingly unlucky event. Something has to change to set the stage for good fortune. Something has to get you out of your routine and start you in a new and better direction. It could be getting fired from a job or the end of a relationship that starts your Jupiter transit. Give it some time. Wait and watch as things unfold. It's truly amazing how people are forced to make progress in their lives during a Jupiter return transit. If getting fired from that job forces you to expand your horizons and look for a new job that ends up being much better, you experienced the luck of a Jupiter return transit. It may seem quite unlucky at first, and it may involve learning a new skill, meeting new people and a lot of hard work, growing pains and adjustments. When it's over though, you'll look back and realize just how lucky it really was.

Jupiter Returns bring New Freedom...

Again, Jupiter returns can start with a seemingly unlucky set of circumstances, Yet in the end, these circumstances or events bring a new freedom to your life. Something as seemingly horrible as the death of pet or loss of friend can, in the long run, give you new freedom. Perhaps you were never able to vacation because of the pet. Even though you loved the pet very much, he or she was tying you down to your home. Perhaps a friend moves away, and although it is very sad, in the long run, you end up meeting a whole new group of friends who open your world to new adventures.

Jupiter Returns bring a new Philosophy on Life...

Looking back on a recent Jupiter return is the easiest way to see how it brought about a new philosophy in your life. The growth and freedom that Jupiter returns bring help you mature in many ways. Ultimately, they make you see your life with a new perspective. You may realize how your old job was holding you back, how a relationship was suffocating you, how much you didn't know before you took that training course to learn a new skill. After your Jupiter return, your world feels larger and clearer. Things seem simpler because you expanded your boundaries and let go of things that were restricting you.
