WHAT IS JUPITER AND WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT?
Jupiter, as we all know, is the 5th planet from the Sun, and the largest planet in our solar system. In astrology, Jupiter is the planet of luck, growth, and abundance, among others. Recognized as the greater benefic, it represents the generosity of the Universe, as it is known to bring benefits to everything that it touches. However, as with all planets, Jupiter also has its shadow side, which may be expressed as excess, inflation, over-calculations, and illusions of grandeur.

As Jupiter (and the other planets) move around the Sun, they enter certain areas in the sky, based on (but not equal to) the constellations found in the Zodiac belt. These areas carry energy filtered through the archetypes that these signs represent. Because his cycle takes about 12 years, and Astrology works through 12 signs/12 divided segments of the sky, it takes about a year for Jupiter to go through one sign.
On May 11, 2022, 7:22 AM (+8 UTC), JUPITER leaves his home sign of Pisces. For the first time in 12 years, he enters ARIES, the sign of the warrior. Jupiter stays here from May 11 – October 28, 2022, until it retrogrades back to Pisces. Jupiter re-enters Aries on December 20, 2022, finishing the rest of the year with the energy of Cardinal Fire!
JUPITER in ARIES
Aries is the first sign in the Zodiac, the sign that corrolates with the beginning of spring (in the northern hemisphere), when the world is reborn after a long, cold winter. Aries energy is very direct, it is a fire sign that is intuitive more than discerning. It reacts on impulse, it pushes forward, it chases and it conquers. With a kind of bravado that is unknown to any other sign, Aries energy is like a newly trained warrior ready to go to war. There isn’t any jaded quality yet, to its actions. Hindi pa takot matalo kasi hindi pa natatalo. It is passionate, eager, idealistic, and full of courage to soldier on and to soldier through. Parang bata, matapang. Kaya kailangan bantayan lagi. Takbo ng takbo, nilalagay yung kamay or laruan sa saksakan kasi hindi pa niya alam na pwede pala siya ma-electricute. 😅
When Jupiter enters Aries, there is an expansion of courage and boldness. We become fearless in the area of life that Aries affects. We get a boost of daring and determination, and we become more inclined to follow through our dreams and passions, especially in the area of life that it activates. Jupiter in Aries also produces impulsive, cardinal energy. If something goes wrong, we deal with it after the fact. Basta ang importante, gumagalaw, umaandar.
HARMONY
Jupiter in Aries trines the other fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius. This is great expansive energy especially for Leos, who’ve been plummetted recently by insane Saturn restrictions. Help is on the way, dear Leos!

Welcome to a new luck cycle, dear Aries! JUPITER enters YOUR sign, bringing great, expansive energy in your first house of SELF and the physical body. From May 11 to October 28, (and again from December 20 until next year), JUPITER brings magnetism, and good fortune. New beginnings are offered to you during this time, and you may notice an increase in confidence, for everything that you do during this period will most probably be received well by the world at large (unless other factors in your personal natal chart taper this). There is an increase in motivation, and a feeling of being recharged, as you set out to conquer new wishes and goals that may set the tone for the next 12 years! Jupiter here makes new beginnings exciting and easy almost, but difficulties with following through may set in, once the transit passes. Make sure that you build strong foundations for everything that you start, so you can build up on them layer by layer. Make sure to ground your plans in a realism, and be cautious enough not to get lost in over calculations. Everything seems possible now, yes, and it very well may be true; however, it is always best to underpromise and overdeliver, not the other way around!
With Jupiter, also being the planet of expansion, a known side effect of this transit, is weight gain! People get drawn to you so invitations to go out and eat, or perhaps to go shopping, or perhaps to travel, may be abundant for now. It will feel so good to indulge in the senses, splurge on luxuries (big or small), and pamper the self during this time, and with Jupiter being excessive, it may be difficult to curb appetites and say no! Otherwise, this is oftentimes a pleasant, auspicious period that improves your sense of self and the way that you present yourself to the world. Good luck on your new beginning, dear Aries! Make sure to make the most of this transit!
You are now closing a 12-year luck cycle, dear Taurus, as JUPITER enters your 12th house of endings, contemplation, spirituality, and rest. From May 11 to October 28, (and again from December 20 until next year), JUPITER brings expansive energy to your inner world, giving you unparalleled access to your spiritual life and your unconscious processes. This is often a profound period of introspection and realization, as you prepare for a grand reset of your luck cycle, which happens mid next year. This will be a period of recharging (unless other factors in your personal natal chart taper this), as you prepare for big new beginnings that are already on the horizon.
You may find yourself being drawn to activities that make you feel closer to the source. Meditation, prayer, and other practices that still the mind and open the heart may be a source of great comfort for you now. The recent years haven’t been easy, dear Taurus. With Uranus traveling in your sign these last years shaking things up beyond comfort, and Saturn requiring you to step up, amidst lacking any solid ground to stand on, plenty of changes have manifested, most of it unexpected. You may feel fear and fatigue from all the uncertainty, but this period will feel like a great exhale, a period of rest and recuperation. Allow yourself as much time and space as you need, and you may find a renewed sense of spirituality that brings you much needed comfort and peace. Good luck, dear Taurus! Make sure to make the most of this transit!
For the first time in 12 years, expansive JUPITER enters and travels through your 11th house, the area of your sky that represents friendships, groups, and your greater social network. From May 11 to October 28, (and again from December 20 until next year), JUPITER brings magnetism, good fortune and luck, in terms of your association with your peers and your place in the society you move in. New people enter your life during this period, perhaps mentors, students, or just kindred spirits that share the same road that you are traveling on. Inspired by these newfound comrades, you may be able to revise or forge anew long term goals that, although grand, maybe accomplished with the help of connections that you make during this bountiful period.
During this period, you may also find yourself passionately advocating for social reform, either through organizations that you may join, or through active participation in your community at large. You may find success easy to come by, largely in part because of the support that your community readily gives you. An increase in peers, acquaintances, friendships and your social network is very possible now. While this helps in the most part, make sure not to spread yourself too thin!
On working with groups, make sure you build strong foundations for everything that you start, so you can comfortably build up on them layer by layer. Ground your plans in a realism, and be cautious enough not to get lost in over calculations. Everything seems possible now, yes, and it very well may be true; however, it is always best to underpromise and overdeliver, not the other way around! Good luck, dear Gemini! Make sure to make the most of this transit!
Get ready, dear Cancer! For the first time in 12 years, expansive JUPITER enters and travels through your 10th house, the area of your sky that represents your career and public life. From May 11 to October 28, (and again from December 20 until next year), JUPITER brings magnetism, good fortune and luck, in terms of your career, profession, your relationship with authority figures and bosses, and your public reputation. You may experience leaps and strides in terms of your profession, and things that used to be so difficult to accomplish may now seem feasible and even easy to conquer. During this period, it may seem like there is a spotlight following you; you are recognized for the work that you do, and your efforts are well appreciated (unless other factors in your personal natal chart taper this).
Awards, accomplishments and recognitions may accompany this period for some of you. For others, this may be a period when something about your public status changes. For example, a promotion may be on the horizon, a new job may be offered, or some may even get engaged or married. Your general life direction is highlighted for now, and if you play your cards right, this may be a period when dreams finally come true! Just make sure that you build strong foundations for everything that you start, so you can comfortably build up on them layer by layer. Ground your plans in a realism, and be cautious enough not to get lost in over calculations. Everything seems possible now, yes, and it very well may be true; however, it is always best to underpromise and overdeliver, not the other way around! Good luck, dear Cancer! Make sure to make the most of this transit!
Get ready, for adventure, dear Leo! For the first time in 12 years, expansive JUPITER enters and travels through your 9th house, the area of your sky that represents mind expansion, higher education, travel and interaction with foreigners! From May 11 to October 28, (and again from December 20 until next year), JUPITER brings magnetism, good fortune and luck, in terms of activities that help in broadening your perceptions and your experience of life. Opportunities to travel and explore foreign lands may manifest now, and you may find yourself forging close bonds with foreigners, or with Filipinos based from abroad. You may be inspired to go back to school and study courses that you are passionate about, or courses that you’ve always wanted to take, but didn’t have the chance to. Belief systems may expand too, and some of you may find yourselves with a renewed sense of conviction towards your beliefs. Some, on the other hand, may discover new schools of thought and new philosophical ideas that may cause a feverish sense of fervor.
You are magnetized (and in turn, are very magnetic to) people who come from backgrounds which are different from yours. Either through ethnicity, religion, age gaps even; the goal is constantly learn through understanding and interacting with those who can give you a different perspective on things.
During this time, make sure that you build strong foundations for everything that you start, so you can comfortably build up on them layer by layer. Ground your plans in a realism, and be cautious enough not to get lost in over calculations.

For the first time in 12 years, expansive JUPITER enters and travels through your 8th house, the area of your sky that represents other people’s money, joint finances, shared resources, transformations, intimacy, and deep relationships! From May 11 to October 28, (and again from December 20 until next year), JUPITER brings magnetism, good fortune and luck in your intimate partnerships or business partnerships. With the 8th house being associated with finances, monetary yield may be expected in terms of investments, commissions and shared ventures. Inheritances can also be factored in, not necessarily due to anyone’s death, but perhaps through land titles being transferred, or heirlooms being passed on. Indirectly, you may be pampered by a loved one, a long term partner or a spouse, whose income may increase during the duration of this transit!
Transformative energy is also abundant during this time, and you may find opportunities that may push you to alter certain decisions that you once decided were set in stone. An updated appetite for intimacy may also be felt now, and you may feel empowered to demand more! Power dynamics may change between you and an intimate partner; you may feel more open to being vulnerable, allowing what once was a perceived weakness to be considered as maturity and strength.
For now, make sure that you build strong foundations for partnerships or any joint ventures that you start, so you can comfortably build up on them layer by layer. Ground your plans in a realism, and be cautious enough not to get lost in over calculations.

Make sure to make the most of this transit!
For the first time in 12 years, expansive JUPITER enters and travels through your 7th house, the area of your sky that represents your partnerships, committed relationships! From May 11 to October 28, (and again from December 20 until next year), JUPITER brings magnetism, good fortune and luck in your partnerships and one-on-one interaction with others. This may be an auspicious time when you and a significant other rediscover each other. A deeper relationship can be forged by learning new things about each other, while also remembering what brought you together in the first place. For the single Virgos, this may be a period where you may level up from either being single to having a romantic prospect, to having someone that you would like to commit to, and vice versa. Engagements or marriages may happen to those whose relationships are already ripe for the picking, so good luck in advance!
This may also be a remarkable period for one on one client work. You easily put people at ease now, and you come across as open, genuine, supportive and optimistic.

Others may consider investing in properties and real estate. Some may sell properties with a good yield.

Relationships with family members get to improve, and you may feel extra warmth towards your family, and from them towards you.
