On November 21, 2007, Jupiter will enter the sign of Sagittarius for the coming year according to Vedic astrological calculation. He will remain in Sagittarius until December 9, 2008. As you may know, Jupiter enters Sagittarius only once every twelve years. Further, Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius, that is, Sagittarius is his own sign. When a planet enters its own sign, it is in a position to bestow its good effects on us all to great advantage.

Jupiter is the planet that is considered to be the most benefic or benevolent planet among them all. He is the “guru” or benefactor. He teaches, enlightens and uplifts all out of love, compassion and kindness. It is sometimes said that Jupiter teaches by giving whereas harmful planets, such as Saturn, teach by taking away. Therefore, the world can expect increased blessings and good fortune for the coming year, generally speaking.

Do not think that all evil or danger will disappear entirely. This is a world in which people live out their karma — action and reaction. So there are many of us who are destined to suffer at different times for cruel, hurtful, thoughtless or negative deeds we have performed in previous life times. After all, this is not the heavenly kingdom, this is the earthly realm.

Jupiter in Sagittarius will bring a rise in consciousness and awareness for the planet as a whole. People will reexamine their beliefs, prejudices and judgments, which will result in greater efforts toward fairness, equity and justice. Truth will gain the upper hand and deceptions will be uncovered.

Sagittarius is the natural ninth sign, which represents dharma, spirituality, life purpose, faith and belief, philosophy and one’s relationship with God. People’s faith in God or spirit will be on the rise. Subsequently, they will feel more confident and deserving within themselves. Recognition and communion with God, the Higher Self, always results in increased respect toward the individual self and all other individuals as well. In turn, this may reduce some of the enmity that is rife throughout our world at present, which is born out of envy and which turns strangers into enemies.

In actuality, there is no shortage of anything in our world. Want and lack appear due to attitudes and beliefs regarding want and lack. There is only abundance in God’s reality. If you believe in shortage and lack in your reality, then perhaps it’s time you changed that belief. Jupiter in Sagittarius is an excellent time to alter your beliefs with regard to limitation and restriction.

Jupiter in Sagittarius advances study and discovery in science, philosophy, law, government, social systems, anthropology, foreign cultures, race and psychology. It promotes ethics, improved values, morality, honor, nobility, gentility, chivalry, advocacy, refinement, and evolution of spirit. We can only hope that it will rub off on some of our world leaders!

This is an excellent time to begin or engage in a greater mission or undertaking for the benefit of humanity or a particular group of people or a specific social group. This is also a time when grand financial schemes can be launched effectively, taking into consideration your own individual karmic life periods and timetable. Great sums of wealth can be generated at this time.

Your relationship with your children can be improved with Jupiter in Sagittarius and communication reestablished if faltering. This is also a beneficial time to bring higher beings or more evolved souls into the world through pregnancy and childbirth.
