Jupiter enters Taurus

an essay by Mike Zizis

May 16, 2023

Astronomically, Jupiter has a circular orbit around the sun — tho not perfect. The humongous gas balloon generally takes 12 years to go once around the sun. This means that it spends about a year in each sign of the zodiac.

Jupiter is entering Taurus on May 16, where it’ll stay until May 24, 2024.

Astro — logically Jupiter is associated with optimism, protection, big gains based on big calculated risk, Philosophy, legal outcomes, justice, and expansion. Sometimes Jupiter pertains to him writing checks he can’t cash, blindness to consequences, and excesses of every kind.

Taurus, a Venus ruled sign, symbolizes the blossoming Earth, beauty of every kind, springtime in the Northern hemisphere, autumn South of the equator, financial growth, indulgence and enjoyment of the five senses, and especially stuff. To put it succinctly, Taurus rules the five senses, nature, food, and money.

The associations of Jupiter in Taurus reveals the rising price of gold, and precious metals over all. In the main this will be a time of bumper crops for many grains and fruits, including grapes etc. Jupiter and Taurus generally incline people to be optimistic about the stock market. High inflation may be persistent and, well… inflating. Spas and luxury retreats, glam slam places like Hollywood and Monte Carlo will all benefit.

Jupiter spent a year previously in Taurus during 2011 and 1999. If you wish spiritual and emotional and practical benefits from Jupiter in his present dance in Taurus, look back over these previous cycles. That will tell you where you are likely to get the big bounce, from this present Jupiter sojourn. In fact there is a possibility that you will get more out of the Jupiter cycle, because you have more awareness. Let’s hear it for the songs of experience, age, and wisdom!

One of the lesser-known aspects the merry month of May and the Sign of Taurus is revolution. By this, I mean the revolution of Spring overthrowing Winter. Since Taurus is a fixed earthy sign, eruptions and volcanoes are a component of the cycle and the sign. Seeds also erupt out of the earth. Some people seem to believe that every change is a change for the worse.

Aries;

Jupiter here, is sarabanding through your 2nd house. Yes, it’s okay to expect an increase in incoming money as well as a taste for luxury goods and the best of everything. Generally speaking, this is the time of abundance most especially an abundance of all the things that you do well. The second house is associated with special gifts that you bring to our planet. Acquisition of debt here is possible. Good debt, such as careful investing is likely to pay off; bad debt, like I just wanted the Maserati or gold plated toilet — maybe not so much.

Taurus;

Jupiter, in this 1st house transit, is highlighting your personal glamour, enthusiasm, and optimism, and a somewhat justified feeling that everything will turn out well. If you gain a few pounds — a strong possibility with Jupiter and the first house — don’t panic.

Above all this is a time when enemies have little or no power over you, and your optimism is justified especially when it comes to risking creativity and forgiving the past and those involved in it.

Cancer;

This is an 11th House transit of Jupiter for a year. If you are a group person, if you wish to join the group, the benefits will certainly outweigh any difficulties in time or money spent. Anything from gardening clubs to replanting trees and even entire forests — i.e. putting yourself out there for greater and impersonal causes can manifest joy and connection. If your energies are more introverted and you enjoy time by yourself, you will be drawn to impersonal reparation of the earth, movements and charities of restoration. The 11th House is also associated with income from career. Reaching out to express and improve your career issues should be quite rewarding over the span of this year.

If your attitude has been: people need me, I don’t need them — then you may not get a big bounce that would come from opening up to those who have proven themselves to you. Alternately because this is a house of partnership and open enemies, it is unlikely that anyone just now is working to or will succeed at making you worse.
