The joyous, expansive, exuberant planet, Jupiter, will be entering the sign of Aries on January 23, 2011 and stay there until June 4, 2011. This is not an especially long time so it is a good thing that Aries people act quickly. This five month period is the time for Aries to follow their dreams. New opportunities to extend social life, work, home, education, and creativity may present themselves around this time. Things may have already begun and during Jupiter’s transit, will develop much more.
New opportunities
Since Jupiter expands whatever it touches, it is important to watch the waist-line and budget. An over-optimistic attitude may cause Aries to take things too far. Don’t worry too much about this as the protection Jupiter provides will assure this Mars ruled sign always land on their feet. Now is the time for Aries to get their name out and job seekers should get those resumes emailed because their lucky star has arrived. New opportunities will be flying in from everywhere. The doors are opening; so, take advantage of it!
Popular prophets get paid
Others will probably be drawn to Aries now, as the good-natured generosity and charisma should be heightened under Jupiter’s influence. Aries may even have some sage advice to share. Jupiter’s sign of Sagittarius is known for prophecy and Aries will be able to tap into the zeitgeist and take advantage of their new-found perceptions. New money making ventures may result in a financial windfall. Some may call it foresight, others dumb luck. Both of these are covered under Jupiter’s reign.
Party like it's 1999
In order to get a clearer idea of what to expect during this transit, think back twelve years ago when Jupiter last traveled through the first sign of the zodiac. February 14, 1999 through June 29, 1999 was Jupiter’s last sojourn through Aries. Things that began during Jupiter’s last trip in Aries may have fully blossomed and now it is time for some new adventures or an extension on the previous ones. Whether it’s traveling, taking classes, or physical fitness – this is a good time to start.
Saturn and Jupiter make this significant
Focus the expansiveness of Jupiter in a practical, organized way and the greatest accomplishments are promised. Saturn in Libra is opposing Jupiter during this time and this is really an advantage as Saturn will keep Jupiter’s upsurge under control. The combination of Jupiter and Saturn is potentially world changing. Successful and long-lasting enterprises are built when these outer planets work together. For Aries, this should be an excellent time to start a new business, partnership, or any dream that requires hard work and cooperation from others. The opposition between these two heavy hitters will be exact at the end of March 2011 so that time may be pivotal.
All in all, the next five months should be a very positive and expansive one for Aries. Enjoy the bliss, be willing to make compromises, work hard, and Aries will be well on their way to making their dreams come true and party like it’s 1999.
