Looking to my Jupiter: Staying Positive Even When You’re in a Middle of a Hail Storm.

It’s funny how life goes.

I’ve finally come to a point in my life where I stick to long-ranging plans and seeing the benefits of planning the next year. There are major events in the works for our household, so it’s essential to get our ducks in a row in order to get things accomplished by the end of the year. Conveniently, the feeling of being able to stick to this plan or any long-ranging plans has come at a point when I’m supposed to be open to things that might change them—right now, Neptune in Pisces in my 9th house of journeys and beliefs. In short, it’s a bit of a head mess. The universe working in strange ways adds to the frustration—funny enough, as I was typing frustration, it auto corrected to trust. I guess that’s a sign that I should do just that. But when I do forget to trust because I’m in the middle of something heavy or confusing at the moment, I look to Jupiter, give him a visit in my natal chart and see what the benefic planet is up to. 

Lately, it’s been hard to stay positive, sometimes forgetting the concept even exist. Not usually the case for me. I have a stellium of Sag planets in the daily house of the 6th. Though, he gets tricky in Mercury, at the end of the day, I’m usually optimistic when it comes to how I see things. This is thanks to Jupiter in Leo in my 2nd house, trining Mercury, Mars and Neptune in Sag. My Jupiter in Leo, being in my house of values in resources, always has a way to find solutions to my problems. Never short of resources to get me out of a rut, it usually appears in the form of money. I have never worried about it thanks to Jupiter there. Over the years, I found the same optimism and faith was not shared by many. I always felt lucky and appreciative. 

Also, Jupiter in the proud sign of Leo has crowned me with confidence in many aspects of my life. I’ve always thought that I could do anything, that if I just put effort into it, the finish line could be reached. Generally, I was never short of confidence about reaching a desired goal.

Since Sag is at the cusp of 7th house, partnership is something I’ve continually been optimistic about even after a bad split. It takes no time to bounce back up and think I’ll find someone again. 

This is how it felt for me for the last two decades of my life. These are the places I have gone to whenever I was feeling down and out. And true to form, these areas would always help me gain my confidence back. In the last few months, I had forgotten about checking in with Jupiter. As I write this, I already feel better.

I guess this is me checking in with Jupiter, saying what’s up and thanking him for his gifts and for always showering me with his generosity. Despite his square with transiting Mars in my 1st house—this shall past, I’m so grateful that he is siting in my 4th right now, this is exactly where I need him to keep me positive, during unsettling times.

When I don’t know what’s around the corner, when changes seems to pull me in directions I don’t want to be or didn’t think I would ever be in, Jupiter is the bright beacon, as I journey through a hazy labyrinth path, that tells me that things will be okay.

Where’s your Jupiter? Where is your luck busting in?
