Cosmic Leo

Mighty planet Jupiter entered the bright fire sign of Leo today at 6:30a EDT, 10:30a UT. This is a once in 12 year event and a very important one for us here below. Jupiter’s shift  is especially significant for Leo of course and also for Sagittarius, since Jupiter is your ruling planet.  When a planet leaves one sign and enters another it is like an exclamation ! mark. Since Jupiter is the largest planet in our  solar system when it enters a new sign, the ! mark is larger than usual. So I have a suggestion, in the “As Above, So Below” category, let’s all be astrological detectives and tune into any changes you feel. I put this out to a few friends earlier, and already got reports they feel this shift already! So tune in folks.

Jupiter totally adores being in fire sign Leo! Jupiter enters Leo on 7/16/14 to stay for over a year, until 8/12/15. All signs are affected when huge Jupiter changes signs, but Leo you are going to love this because opportunity now shines on YOU. And Sagittarius you always feel Jupiter’s energy because it is your ruling planet. In fellow fire sign Leo, Jupiter’s vibe takes you Centaurs exactly where you want to go! The last time Jupiter traveled in Leo was 12 years ago from 8/1/2002 through 8/27/2003. Look back to that time in your life because similar themes are triggered again. Read your  Individual Sign Messages for July   for each sign to find out how Jupiter/Leo affects you more personally.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and has a big astrological impact as well. Jupiter affects states of optimism, enthusiasm, opportunity – many of the most positive feelings we can access. Jupiter’s function is to “expand” and of course Jupiter would prefer to expand these positive states. However, as with all planetary influences, Jupiter is essentially neutral leaving it up to us how we use this massive energy. You can choose to expand the good stuff, or just as easily choose to expand more drama, dysfunction and misery.

The short story of Jupiter/Leo is that all the positive Leo themes: creativity, joy, fun, confidence, generosity, wealth building get a big boost. Negative ones will too, like: willful control (“my way or the highway”), egotistical narcissism, over the top drama scenes, selfish “me first” attitudes, and Big Money Elites hording and lording over others. I’ll be covering more in-depth about what this major Jupiter shift means in the August/Leo issue (will be posted on 8/1)  so stay tuned for that.

Meanwhile here are posts from astrologers whose blogs I follow with their take on Jupiter/Leo: Kelly Rosano’s blog discusses the recent Capricorn Super Moon too kelleyrosano.com/blog  And Mandi Lockley has an interesting post Jupiter in Leo – Internationalism & Iraq  And my twitter astrologer buddy Armand Diaz (@IntegralAstro) posted a video – Jupiter in Leo for Each Sign

Keep looking to the Heavens and see you on 8/1 with August’s Heavenly Messages issue.
