Transits of Jupiter
Transits of Jupiter to birth chart planets are fun but they can be somewhat unpredictable if you don't know how to interpret them. Before I go into the cookbook interpretations of how transits of Jupiter will affect you, it's story time!
Transit of Jupiter: Story time
I was talking with a friend about Jupiter transits and how finicky they can be. He was telling me “Jupiter is conjunct my Mars in my 10th house right now and nothing is going on, that’s odd”. And so I went and shared my story with him that I now want to share with you :)
Back in 2017, Jupiter was conjunct my Sun, Mercury, Midheaven, Moon and Mars! Conventional astrology wisdom will tell you it’s a time of growth, expansion, success and luck. I was so looking forward to it. And then the transits happened, and absolutely nothing. I was let go of my job without explanation, I was lost and with no luck, in anything, I was trying really. Jupiter then went retrograde, again, passing over my Mars, Moon, Mercury, MC, and Sun.
And then one day I woke up and said “Enough, I will never work for someone ever again.” I sat on my couch and said “I”m gonna start an Astrology blog”. From there, it all unravelled quite quickly and somewhat effortlessly. I did put in a lot of work, but, all the efforts I was putting in were paying off instantly. Guess where Jupiter was when I had that impulsive (Sag rising) epiphany to start my blog? Right on my Sun. It had just turned direct and it was about to go over all my planets + MC for the last time.
The first passage of Jupiter which produced only bad luck and poor results were the seeds being planted. I had no idea, but I was being redirected on a path that would actually be my luckiest and most fulfilling path ever.
In the interpretations below, I did not include Jupiter transiting the outer planets (Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto) because they greatly depend on other factors in the chart such as houses and rulerships. You'd need to study your chart in-depth to comprehend how it affects you and I don't want to give you misleading info - so I kept it short and sweet.

- When Jupiter was opposite my Venus I went on a ton of dates and got super spoiled + met people who really helped me grow. - When Jupiter was trine my Moon I became obsessed with decorating my home + travelled to see my family. - When Jupiter was trine my Mars I slept less than usual yet had energy + worked an insane amount of hours happily.
