Another transition I spoke of in my Overview for 2011. Here is what I said then and some additional thoughts:
Jupiter moves into Taurus for a year on June 4. With solid foundations and patience there is tangible progress now. There is steady growth and physical security will increase for many. With the end of the Jupiter/Saturn opposition, combined with the trine of Jupiter and Pluto later, Jupiter in Taurus should create a much more positive result for those economies positioned to benefit. The general US economic forecast will be revised upward.
Jove moves into the second sign of the Zodiac. Jupiter, the planet of principles, is moving from Idealistic Aries to Practical Taurus until June 2012. It is not enough to declare “this is what I believe, that this is what I will live by”. Now you must make it real, you must bring principles into praxis; your truth must take form.
Your beliefs and plans must be grounded in physical reality now. A beautiful theory is fine, but does it WORK? The driving motivator now is material well-being. After the rush of new ideas and projects while in Aries, Jupiter’s sojourn in Taurus instills a more gradual yet steady approach to creating your future. Security trumps excitement; you favor solid values over brilliant promises. Conservative, practical methods will be in favor now.
The question hovering over many is will the material well-being of the world improve now? But the real question that Jupiter asks of you is what are you doing to promote, preserve and protect the beautiful world you live upon?
