Dec. 6, 2010 - May 8, 2011 — Jupiter reenters Pisces

We are entering a time of good fortune, spiritual renewal and human benevolence. The great Guru and spiritual teacher, the planet Jupiter, will enter the sign of Pisces on May 2, 2010. He will remain in Pisces for almost an entire year except for one month when he moves retrograde, back into Aquarius (see dates above).

Pisces is Jupiter’s own sign. When a planet is in his own sign, he delivers his benefits to a much higher degree. Jupiter enters Pisces only once every twelve years and remains there for about a year.

Although it is difficult to change people’s intrinsic nature, we are nonetheless entering a time when our consciousness and awareness will expand and rise to greater degrees of perception, understanding and realization. We will begin ponder to greater effect, the repercussions of our actions and more specifically, the consequences of selfish, self-motivated and self-serving actions. There are those who believe that if they get what they want even though it is to the detriment of others, it won’t matter — “as long as I get my needs met!” But we see that that is not the case in reality.

[Witness our recent economic collapse. Self-serving behavior leads to the collapse of the collective welfare. It is worth mentioning that various governments are rewarding this self-serving behavior by bailing out the banks, corporations, developers, etc. This will only perpetuate such behavior. And no lesson will really be learned. They will simply think they got away with it and do it again as soon as another opportunity arises.]

Jupiter in Pisces allows us to see with our hearts and to feel with our eyes. It is certain to open the hearts and minds of humanity. It is a return to innocence and purity of intent. It inspires us to question our motives and motivations and our purpose behind our behavior and our actions. Pisces is symbolized by the vast ocean of the subconscious. One’s real beliefs, true nature, childhood wounds and trust issues all reside in the dark ocean of the subconscious. These will bubble up to the surface for examination, for emotional recognition, and most importantly, for release.

Jupiter in Pisces leads to freedom from the shackles of greed, fear and narcissism. But we have to be willing to let go and we have to be willing to jump! Giving to others, including others, considering others does not result in your getting less. It results in all of us, including you, gaining more. This is truly the Piscean theme. It is charity, benevolence, altruism, philanthropy and humanitarianism. It is spiritual love and surrender.

Loving God automatically includes humanity which is part and parcel of God. It takes us to the realm of the absolute where all things are equal. One will never succeed in loving humanity while denying God because human behavior is too polarizing. It is first necessary to recognize the common thread of spirit running through it all. How will you acknowledge all the children while denying the parents?

Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, so a twelve year cycle of Jupiter traveling through the zodiac from Aries to Pisces comes to an end May 8th, 2011. And what do we have to show for it? Are we more compassionate? Less greedy? Did 2009 teach us the danger of defining ourselves in terms of materialistic triumphs? Have we moved on? Are we kinder and more understanding? Is the world a better place than it was twelve years ago? If not, we are now entering the final year in which the lessons need to be learned. Otherwise, will we be doomed to start all over again when Jupiter enters Aries? Could you imagine being consigned back to the first grade in school when you have finished the twelfth grade but failed the tests?

Jupiter in Pisces will bring truth to the fore and continue to clean house in the churches, banks, financial institutions, corporations, governments, etc. What has begun as a long overdue housecleaning will continue. Integrity, honor, ethics and virtue will rise like the Sun in the east. Will we raise our faces toward the light or will we return to the murky and bleak behaviors that have clouded our vision in the recent past? The celestial beings in the form of the planets are holding out the olive branch. Will we reach for it? It is our choice as individuals.

Jupiter in Pisces will bring great wealth and expansion of good fortune and a downpour of karmic benefits. Will we hold our heads high and look him directly in the eye and receive them without having to hide our faces in shame? Jupiter in Pisces is for the good and the honest and the true. It is not for the bearers of the shadow and the darkness who wait for others to turn their heads so they won’t be caught causing their mayhem.

Jupiter in Pisces will introduce new vision which may forge a new paradigm shift in the coming year. Therefore, it is important for us, individually and collectively, to spend more time meditating, envisioning and dreaming. It is necessary to establish a clear and direct communication with the higher realms because it will be easier than ever to accomplish this. And from this connection, we will be able to derive the information, clarity and perception of our unfolding future with the benefit of a more lofty and dynamic perspective. This may also produce works which are considered to be breakthroughs or landmarks in art, literature, music, film, and theater.

Many high souls will take birth in the next year — souls of great consciousness and compassion who will perform momentous humanitarian feats in their lifetimes. It is a time of divine births and spiritual rebirths. It is a global baptism and purification. We only have to choose to participate. Let us all go down to the river …
