Jupiter will enter the sign of Taurus on June 5th, leaving its station in Aries since January 23, 2011.

Jupiter is our beneficial friend. The sign and house it is in when we are born can show us how to expand our lives, how to stretch and grow to our fullest potential. The planets are always moving, and when they change from sign to sign, it is called a transit. Jupiter is getting ready to change signs, from Aries to Taurus.

While in Aries, our opportunities and growth seemed to be driven, compulsive, spontaneous and fiery. We planted the seeds for our ideas and projects to take root. June 5th the planet moves into an earth sign, it’s time for these to become grounded in reality, and adjust to the changes we started.

The tendency now will be to stick to it, for good or bad, or to be resistant to the very changes we’ve inspired. It is potentially a very good time for making money and advancing through investments, but there is also the tendency for over doing it, and indulging. Take a clear and objective view of your finances prior to responding to the inspiration of this sign.

Jupiter in Taurus will trine Pluto in Capricorn, so big business will want to stick to the tried and true yet old ways regarding making money. The money changers may not be as successful as hoped for though, as Jupiter goes retrograde from 30 August to almost the end of the year.

My advice is to deal practically with those new beginnings, to learn what works and doesn’t in order to prune the garden prior to the Retrograde action of Jupiter beginning August 30th. Then the activity will be more inward rather than outward, so within the context of your personal and intimate life make the necessary adjustments to anchor in correctly these new enterprises. Once Jupiter goes direct on Christmas 2011, we move forward with these opportunities again.
