Jupiter takes approximately 12 years to do a full cycle around the Sun, and therefore around the zodiac signs as well. It takes roughly 1 year per zodiac sign. On the 9th Sept 2016 until October 2017 Jupiter will be moving through Libra.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and from its position in the zodiac sign will indicate where we also want to be larger than life. It shows us our areas of confidence, bravado, enthusiasm and optimism. From this viewpoint the glass is definitely half full, with the hope and expectation of it overflowing!
Jupiter in Libra will bring confidence and positive outlooks to our relationships. We will be so much more available to the opportunities of life if we have a buddy to share the experiences with us. Depending on which area of your birthchart this is positioned in will show exactly where you are wanting the partner to be involved in your endeavours, e.g. an exercise buddy, a business partner, a holiday companion, a house-mate, a walking buddy….etc. In some cases it may also be a professional person we turn to for encouragement as in a life-coach or for advice as in a health practitioner, or for direction from a business mentor, counsellor or sports coach.
There will be some challenges that we are to work through. Firstly it is essential that the partnerships are structured with goals, purpose of meeting, routines and points of achievement. We are not to waste this opportunity nor take the other person for granted. Something substantial has to come out from the time and experiences shared. The benefits may be educational, increased fitness, better financial management or greater confidence. There are many fantastic outcomes that we can aim towards and achieve in this time.
We will need to be careful of old habits pulling us back, especially with the solar eclipse in Feb 2017. We are to recognise what we have outgrown and let it go, gracefully!
It is important that we don’t get ourselves stuck in old attitudes of relating either. The perfect partner for us may be someone we never anticipated. This can bring friendships with those in other generations – old and young, those from different cultures, upbringings and traditions. The main emphasis is that we are open in our relating and available to share the best of who we are.
With the right person by our side we will make huge steps of progress as we adventure boldly into the next 12 months.
