Although it’s very difficult to predict the influence of planets on a given individual without referring to his or her birth chart the following is intended only as a general guideline. For confirmation, however, you must refer to your birth chart. Based on the assessment of planetary strengths or weaknesses in your birth chart, placement of planets in your current progressive regular and ninefold charts, and the current operating planetary cycles the following may or may not be applicable.
Jupiter’s transit in the sidereal zodiac sign Gemini (May 30)
On May 30, Jupiter left (sidereal) Taurus and entered the next zodiac sign, Gemini. Jupiter’s transit from one zodiac sign to the next occurs, on average, once a year. Gemini being mutable and air sign ruled by Mercury, Jupiter in Gemini has a tendency to transform the world philosophy and take it to the next level of human evolution. For those who have well placed and connected Mercury and Jupiter in their birth charts are likely to experience optimism and satisfaction in their lives while others likely to experience frustration in general. For one thing academic, philanthropic and philosophical influence around the world is likely to expand. (It must be noted that for individual charts, despite Jupiter’s positive influence to impart positive psychological and philosophical energy, effects of other planets should also be taken into account to assess the net result or effect). In addition, the influence of social reformers, philanthropists, philosophers, and academics (scientists) will shape the future direction of our social evolution through the philosophical and spiritual debate. In general, the Gemini Jupiter is known to be responsible for world spiritual expansion. So from that perspective expect some positive spiritual and philosophical changes during this period and welcome the Jupiter’s entry in Gemini.
On individual levels, for those who have dominant Jupiter in their birth charts and have Aries, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius or Aquarius as their natal ninefold ascendants are likely to experience a very positive twelve months period beginning May 30, 2013.
