Jupiter expands whatever he touches.  He usually spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign.  His job is to bring joy, adventure, open-mindedness, advanced education, travel, global perspectives, and a sense that we are all one big happy family and not so very different from each other.  Because of his expansive tendencies, he brings “prosperity” and “abundance” to whatever concept he is focused on.  If things are good, he brings an abundance of good.  If things are bad, he brings an abundance of bad.

As 2011 begins, Jupiter is still in Pisces and your eighth house until January 22nd when he moves into Aries and your ninth house.  Normally, Jupiter spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign, but this year it is a bit different.  Jupiter flies through Aries at mach speed and then moves into Taurus and your tenth house on June 4th where he will stay for the rest of this year.

In Pisces, Jupiter focuses on kindness, compassion, charity, emotional well-being, spirituality, intuition, empathy, and bringing a sense of “magic” to the world.

For Leo, he is still in your eighth house of trust and sharing, intimacy, fidelity, loyalty, joint finances, joint ventures, commissions, stock options, loans, lotteries, insurances, and other forms of profit sharing.  Jupiter will work to bring his blessings to your love life and to your finances.  It could be your spouse’s finances that are blessed as a result of this energy or you could find that joint financial projects are luckier than solo ones.  Professions that pay through commissions, royalties, tips, and other profit sharing methods are blessed more than regular salaries and wages.  Stocks, taxes, loans, inheritances, lotteries, and investments could also work out quite nicely.  You could find that since Pisces likes to be charitable, compassionate, and spiritual, that these types of activities add to your portfolio.  Pisces also rules over bureaucracies, so you could find that you are luckier than usual within these types of organizations while Jupiter is in this area of your life.  When other planets clash with Jupiter, you could find more secrets, gullibility, delusion, self-destruction, neediness, and/or bureaucracy within your romantic and financial relationships.  However, when the other planets are helping Jupiter or just leaving him to do his own thing, he will work hard to bring good luck into your romantic and financial agreements.

In Aries, Jupiter embraces Aries’ pioneering spirit, enthusiasm, fiery passion, and willingness to compete for the sheer entertainment of it.  Unlike Aquarius’ teamwork approach to life, Aries is all about racing to the top and being number one.  Aries is generous, boisterous, and charming.  The competitive nature is not a selfish or mean energy, but a childlike “last one there’s a rotten egg!” type of playful energy.  Jupiter can have great fun bringing more of this optimistic can-do energy into the world.  

For Leo, it happens in your ninth house of long-distance travel, multicultural studies, languages, religions, politics, laws, philosophies, universities, mass media, and global awareness.  Jupiter rules over the ninth house, so he is like a king in his own castle at this time, stronger and more likely to get his way.  This will be a great time for traveling, exploring, and sharing your newfound knowledge with others.  It is also a good time for political, academic, religious, philosophical, legal, and/or media-related debates.  You are stronger and more likely to sway others towards your point of view while Jupiter is transiting this part of your chart.  (You could have more legal battles because of Jupiter’s ability to expand and bring more of various energies, but you also have “good luck” and intellectual, academic, legal, political, religious, etc types of persuasion at your fingertips.  If you are going to have to go through legal battles, you want Jupiter in your ninth house blessing this area with good luck.)  You could also find more newcomers in your life are working in these same professions, or they are foreigners, or from backgrounds quite different from your own.

In Taurus, Jupiter helps to expand Taurus’ love of financial security, materialism, comfort, status, self-worth, and “mine”.  Taurus rules over assets, wages, salaries, personal wealth, net worth, and one’s sense of self-esteem.  Globally, we will see the economy rebounding in a strong and stable manner.  Like Taurus the Bull, we could also see an increase in stubbornness, caution, and conservatism.  After Aries’ fiery power, it is natural to then move into a strong but quiet personal power.  Taurus loves good food, good wine, a comfortable sized savings account, and the ability to relax and enjoy the finer things in life without fear of poverty or competition.  Jupiter helps to boost this type of environment.

For Leo, Jupiter will be in your tenth house of professional goals and aspirations, leadership, civic duty, integrity, public reputation, fame, recognition, and climbing the Ladder of Success.  After the rampant unemployment and economic destruction of the last few years, it will be lucky Leos who get to be some of the first to bounce back and push forward with renewed stamina and enthusiasm in their professional lives.  Taurus gives you a strong, steady, and thoughtful approach to your professional goals, leadership style, and public reputation.  And Jupiter will be bringing good luck, fun, and joy back into your career.

Saturn creates our personal challenges and “tough love” learning experiences.  He usually spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign.  His job is to create learning experiences that are often uncomfortable but ultimately quite meaningful.  Saturn also rules over karma, cause and effect, ethics, and our sense of civic duty.  Therefore, it is not only important that we learn our life lessons well, but that we also conduct ourselves with honor and integrity while going through these challenges.  If we stay out of trouble, behave ethically, buckle down, and learn our lessons well, then Saturn rewards us with a gift just before he leaves that zodiac sign.  For example, if Saturn were traveling through the area of our charts that deals with professionalism, leadership, and success, then he would teach us some tough lessons about those concepts.  Then, if we learned our lessons and we behaved ourselves while doing so, Saturn would reward us with a job promotion, professional kudos, public recognition, etc.  We would be better at our jobs, better at leading our companies and communities, and/or we would be better at marketing and advertising ourselves.  If on the other hand, we did not learn our lessons, or we were unethical, blamed others for our problems, cheated, lied, etc then Saturn would simply move on to the next zodiac sign and we would have nothing to show for all the drama and trouble that we had just endured.  Saturn gets a bad reputation because many people think he is simply mean for the heck of it, when in actuality, he is like a “tough love” parent forcing us to grow up and act like a responsible adult.  Might not be very fun, but the rewards are well worth it.

As 2011 begins, Saturn is still in Libra and your third house where he will remain until October of 2012.

While in Libra, Saturn focuses on our partnerships.  While in this zodiac sign, Saturn forces us all to look at who we choose to partner with, what kind of partnerships we like, and how we behave within our partnerships.  It is not uncommon for marriages to suffer, best friends to “break up”, and for business partnerships to dissolve.  Competitors can become vicious, especially if they are pointing out real flaws in our character and not just making stuff up.  Libra rules diplomacy, fairness, justice, and mediation too.  Globally, we could see these topics becoming quite challenging for all countries.  Various government leaders will be challenged to pick carefully which countries they choose to partner with and which they choose to keep as enemies.  They would do well to remember Saturn’s focus on karma, integrity, and civic responsibility.

For Leo, this happens in your third house of interpersonal communications (verbal and written words, telecommunications, computers, etc.), commercial activities (buying and selling, negotiations, contracts, agreements, commitments, etc.), and local community (neighbors, local people, siblings, extended family, one’s clansmen, etc.).  Local forms of transportation, like subways, city busing, cars, bicycles, skates, etc are also part of this sector.  When Saturn passes through this area of someone’s chart, they often experience problems, issues, and challenges concerning neighbors and extended family, local transportation, computers, telecommunications, sales (as both the buyer and the seller), contract negotiations, and the ability to get their point across to others.  You could be accused of thinking in a small-town, narrow-minded way or you could have trouble with others because of their small-town narrow-minded philosophies.  You could be forced to learn to fine-tune your delivery and to make sure that you are backing up your systems and remembering to stay organized.  You could also learn some tough life lessons about doing your homework before making major purchases and/or about how to sell in a tough economy.  Dysfunctional family dynamics could be used to teach you some tough life lessons too.

Uranus is the eccentric genius, rebellious teenager, and social networking guru of the zodiac.  He usually spends about 7 years in each zodiac sign.  He rules over friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science (interconnectivity), electricity, and the Internet.  He can bring teamwork, friendships, networking, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than yourself into your life.  He can also bring stubbornness, eccentricity, rebellion, and perversity.  This is because at his core, he is trying to convince us to be our unique individual selves but also to be a great team player.  Thus, like a teenager, he is trying to find himself while being very susceptible to peer pressure.  Those who master Uranus’ teachings often make charming and charismatic leaders.  Uranus also encourages us to think outside the box and brings a certain eclectic brilliance into our lives.  Like the eccentric genius and the rebellious teenager, he brings pleasant surprises and unexpected chaos.  Uranus promotes humanitarian ideals like brotherhood, “all for one and one for all”, and “united we stand, divided we fall.”  He is not asking us to be sheeple, following the crowd mentality with blind faith.  He is asking us to know our unique gifts and to be strong enough in our self-knowledge to be able to work well in a team and to be able to socialize without losing our sense of individuality.

As 2011 begins, Uranus is still in Pisces and your eighth house until March 12th when he moves into Aries and your ninth house where he will stay for the next few years.

There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003.  While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed.  Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet.  Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.

In Pisces, Uranus is somewhat subdued.  Pisces rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Things like mental health, secrets, self-destruction, addictions, spiritual mysteries, bureaucracies, and “fogginess” are ruled by Pisces.  Therefore, we now have gambling, porn, and other self-destructive activities available online.  We also have government bureaucracies trying to legislate for or against Net Neutrality and spam.  We have all kinds of spiritual, mental health, self-help, and “positive attitude” information readily available as well.  Is it any wonder that people are becoming addicted to the Internet?  On the other hand, Uranus’ time in Pisces has helped us to befriend people from all over the world that we otherwise would not have gotten to know.  Global brotherhood is much easier to encompass.  Pisces believes in sacrificing for the greater good and Uranus is a huge fan of humanitarianism.  Together, they bring us websites that work to educate and promote helping those less fortunate in other countries.  Uranus may not have the razzamatazz in Pisces that he has in some other zodiac signs, but he is not without his charms within this area of our lives.

For Leo, this has been occurring in your eighth house of trust and sharing (fidelity, joint finances, commissions, joint ventures, and profit sharing).  Romantically, it can be exhilarating and awful to host Uranus in the eighth house.  Uranus can bring creative, playful, and fun spontaneity to your love life.  He can also bring unexpected affairs, sexual chaos, and/or stubbornness and greed that creates “mine” versus “ours” types of battles in a relationship that is supposed to be all about trust and sharing.  Financially, he can bring genius, teamwork, technology, innovation, and excitement into your efforts to increase profits.  However, he can also bring chaos, unpredictability, selfishness, and business partners that are too eccentric to rely upon.  With Pisces’ involvement, you could see secrets, mental health, addictions, self-destruction, and/or spiritual beliefs at the root of the romantic and/or financial problems.  Building trust, increasing profits, and sharing intimate moments with a spouse can be very difficult when Uranus is bursting with genius and enthusiasm one day and too arrogant to tolerate the next.

Once Uranus moves into Aries, he can have some fun.  Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea.  Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one’s self, and a brainstorming genius.  Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn.  Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness.  At first, Uranus will enjoy a lovely summer visit into Aries and then later next year (2011), he will formally move into Aries for the next few years.  He reminds me of a teenager visiting a college campus before moving there permanently during the college years.  This first visit will be exhilarating and then going back into Pisces will feel stiff and too confining before he makes the official move to Aries.  Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy.  It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and “Me first!”  Does “me” or “we” prevail?

For Leo, Uranus will be in your ninth house of long-distance travel, multicultural studies, languages, religions, politics, laws, philosophies, universities, mass media, and global awareness.  Global networking, international teamwork, spontaneous travel, and Internet education could be very helpful and enjoyable for you over the next few years.  Legally, you could come out as a genius or as too stubborn depending on what the other planets are doing at the time.  Professionally and socially, you could really enjoy hosting Uranus in this area of your life because you are encouraged to explore the world, other cultures, religions, philosophies, politics, etc.  You can do it with friends and colleagues, or you can do it via the Internet, but social networking, teamwork, and technology are entering your “global awareness” sector and this could be quite exciting and fun.  Just be careful with legal issues and do your best not to accidentally offend others by coming across as bigoted or ignorant of the ways of the world.  This is also a wonderful time for going back to school to learn something new.  Universities and the Internet can mix to create some great online classes.  If you are looking at learning a new trade, taking marketing classes, etc… you could find that you “get it” a lot faster than normal and that you are able to really enjoy the experience.

Neptune tries to bring emotional well-being, spirituality, and a touch of magic to whatever he touches.  Unfortunately, he also has a tendency to bring self-destruction, bureaucracies, and gullibility too.  He usually spends about 14 years in each zodiac sign.  Neptune rules over mental health, attitudes, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  If things are good, he brings compassion and a touch of magic.  If things are bad, he brings delusions and fogginess.

As 2010 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your seventh house.  However, from April 4th through August 4th he will be making a preview visit into Pisces and your eighth house.

In Aquarius, Neptune is behaving in sort of a yin-yang energy to Uranus.  Uranus is in Neptune’s zodiac sign and Neptune is in Uranus’ zodiac sign.  They are each doing their thing, but focusing on the other’s topics.  While Uranus is creating brotherhood online, Neptune is trying to make mental health, spirituality, and bureaucracies work for everyone.  One brings teamwork to humanitarian causes; the other brings humanitarian causes to teamwork.  One says, “I am mentally healthy and self-assured so that I can be a great team player.”  The other says, “I am a great team player so that I can feel mentally healthy and self-assured.”  Is it any wonder that “Yes we can” became the global motto in 2008?  To some, it is a delusional concept full of lollypop dreams and gullible “kool-aid” drinking.  To others, it is the logical and necessary blending of global teamwork and universal compassion.

For Leo, Neptune has been blessing your seventh house of marriage, best friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-yang).  Neptune’s time in seventh house Aquarius can romanticize the concepts of marrying a best friend.  He can work to bring magic, mystery, compassion, and idealism into your marriage.  Professional partnerships can benefit from Neptune’s creativity and ability to maneuver through bureaucracy and red tape.  Best friends could have an almost psychic bond during this time.  Unfortunately, like all of the other planets, Neptune has his dark side and can bring dishonesty, secrets, gullibility, self-destruction, addictions, and “fogginess” into your partnerships.  It could be that your partners are being flaky or you could be the undependable one.  In a marriage, it can be tempting to decide (with Neptune’s idealism) that maybe the grass would be greener in other pastures.  Unfortunately, it is your partnership sector that is hosting Neptune, so even if you were to leave to look for someone else, you would still have the Neptunian influence affecting any new partnerships.  This is equally true of social and professional partnerships too.  I am not saying you should avoid all partners, but that the issue is just going to be a natural part of things for another couple of years.  Neptune brings great “magic” and great “destruction” to whatever he touches depending on which planets are working with him and which ones are clashing with him.

In Pisces, Neptune is literally at home.  Neptune rules over Pisces and the concepts of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-destruction, dishonesty, gullibility, emotional well-being, inner peace, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, hospitals, prisons, corporations, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Neptune will be stronger here than he has been in a very long time.  He will do his best to bring out the loving, compassionate, peaceful, charitable, and magical elements of Pisces.  However, there will be times when other planets are clashing with Neptune and he will instead bring deceit, delusion, and bureaucratic red tape into our lives.

For Leo, Neptune will be in your eighth house of trust and sharing (sex and money).  Since Neptune rules over fogginess among other things, he tends to have a “now you see it, now you don’t” affect on the financial sectors.  Money flows magically into your life and magically right back out again.  Since Neptune also rules over spirituality, mental health, intuition, and charities, it is not surprising that jobs that bring emotional well-being, compassion, love, and caring into your life are going to be financially beneficial at this time.  It is not that you cannot have money; it is that Neptune would rather give you peace of mind and a sense of pride that you took the path of “heart” over the path of “wealth”.  Also, because Neptune does work in magical and paranormal ways, you could find that for the most part, your material needs are always taken care of even if your bank account lacked impressiveness.  Since the eighth house is also about sharing and therefore spousal income, you could find that your spouse is the one who is undergoing these financial issues rather than you personally.  In addition, since this is the area of your chart that governs intimacy, sexual unions, fidelity, and loyalty, you could find that these areas will have a similar “fogginess” to them.  You might fall madly in and out of love with many different people or maybe feel that “Mr. or Ms Right” is always just beyond your grasp.  The idea of love and romance could be quite appealing, but the practical day-to-day aspects of being in a committed relationship could feel similar to the bureaucracy and red tape of working in a corporate job… too stifling, too many rules, too much “because this is just the way we do things.”  You could also find yourself attracted to self-destructive or gullible partners or they could see you as a self-destructive or delusional partner.  Neptune brings both magic and destruction to your trust and sharing (sex and money) sector.

Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches.  He has an uneven pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac sign.  His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower us with passion and self-righteousness, or to heal us by forcing us to go through a Phoenix Rising type of experience.  It can be painful to endure Pluto’s scrutiny, but it can ultimately prove to be incredibly uplifting.  Personal rebirth is often the result of Pluto’s passage through certain areas of our life.  Pluto rules over trust and sharing.  It is often through hidden motivations, hidden assets, hidden agendas, hidden resources, and/or through loyalty and fidelity matters that we find out what we are really made of and we find out what our partners are really made of.  Pluto can reveal gifts, assets, stamina, and psychological resources that we had no idea existed within ourselves.  And Pluto can reveal the selfish, greedy, and emotionally crippling aspects of ourselves too.  All too often, he uses our need for sexual intimacy and financial teamwork (trust and sharing) to teach us these lessons.  The reason that Scorpios are known to be so revengeful is because Scorpio co-rules over the trust and sharing concepts with Pluto.  Breaking trust is the worst thing you can do to a Scorpio.  From Scorpio’s perspective, nothing could possibly be more important than the ability to trust others.

As 2010 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your sixth house.  He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.

In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.  Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers.  Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and “tough love” style life lessons.  Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of “tough love”, doing one’s civic duty, and ideas like “If I don’t take care of this, who will?”  When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc.  Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings.  The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality.  We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media.  Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such.  Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world.  Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices?  Do we have integrity in our government agencies?  Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries… do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas?  It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc.  Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner.  We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.

For Leo, Pluto is in your sixth house of daily work, to-do lists, coworkers, productivity levels, physical health, and “feeling useful”.  Pluto rules over trust and sharing (sex and joint finances) and Capricorn rules over integrity and success.  With Pluto in Capricorn in your sixth house of daily work, you should find that it becomes a lot easier to earn a living.  You have the planet of "our money" in the house of "my work" in the zodiac sign of "professionalism."  This makes it an amazingly strong energy for increasing your net worth regardless of what kind of work you do.  Because Capricorn is involved, you do have to work, the money probably will not come from lotteries or inheritances.  However, you have the planet of passion and hidden resources blessing your daily work sector, so your career should really benefit from Pluto's new placement in your chart.  It may seem like you just "know" where to find money, professional resources, and a perfect way to get the job done.

There are times during any given year when these big slow moving planets clash with each other and create a huge uproar in everyone’s life and there are times when they team up together to accomplish great things in our lives.  More detailed forecasts explaining how these slow moving planets will interact with each other (including how the faster more temperamental planets will affect us) are also available.
