Jupiter in Aries
Jupiter In Aries
When the expansive, damn-the-torpedoes energy of Jupiter collides with the primeval fires of Aries the Warrior, we naturally expect fireworks. At the mechanical astrological level, each side of the equation supercharges the other. We will see real courage. Genuine heroism will arise. We are already seeing these effects in the Middle East as citizens stand up against oppressive governments. You may need to do the same at your own microcosmic level.
In astrology, every front has a back. Inevitably, there is a potential dark side to everything. With Jupiter feeding the Arian bravado, we will get idiots who think they are bullet-proof. Tempers can flare. Until June, when Jupiter moves on into the more placid Taurean waters, few people on the planet earth will be angry. Instead, many will be “righteously indignant,” convinced of their own offended virtue. Choruses of heavenly angels are singing, “Count to ten before you hit Send.
Jupiter in Aries - Pick Your Battles!
On December 20, Jupiter returns to Aries after a little vacation in Pisces. It won’t be there long – just five short months, crossing into Taurus in mid-May 2023. The effect of that quick passage is sheer compression – opportunities will appear and disappear like tricks of the light. The phrase “seize the day” will actually work literally – make your move today because tomorrow will be too late. But what move? Doors will open, but not all of them lead to places you really want to go. Split-second decisions can shape the rest of your life, for good or for ill. You’ll need the reflexes – and the discernment – of a fighter pilot. Steven’s got an Aries Moon – and a few scars to prove it. Let him help you prepare to choose the right battles to win.From the evolutionary viewpoint, we are invited to be bold and audacious, and to be willing to bet on ourselves. The critical Jupiter questions are always, how have I been underestimating myself? How have I been settling for too little? In this case, those questions apply to your courage. They apply to your willingness to stand up for yourself. It is a time to be assertive.
Straightforward, direct honesty about your desires, needs, and frustrations is likely to bear fruit – or at least to lead to clear resolutions of situations that are ultimately irredeemable. And the Arian Warrior does not look back at burning bridges. He or she simply moves forward.

Planets Conjunct the South Node
Explore the meaning of planets conjunct the south node in the birth chart. Any planet within ten degrees or so on either side of the Moon’s south node has about as much impact on our characters as does our Sun sign. And yet such planets are often ignored since Western Astrology in general is so often in the dark about the deeper meaning of the Lunar Nodes. Do they represent treasures—or soul-cages? As always in evolutionary astrology, the answer depends on the choices we make.
