Jupiter turns direct: take a gamble...or not

Jupiter turns direct after a four month retrograde March 6, at 5:42 a.m. at 10 degrees of Cancer.

Jupiter is the planet of gain and expansion, and wherever Jupiter transits in your personal natal chart, you should see gain and increase. While in Cancer, Jupiter will create feelings of patriotism, increasing the size of homes and families and Cancer rules the homeland. It remains in this sign until July 17.

As Jupiter turns direct many things that have been delayed will start to move forward now and we may feel a sense of urgency in some respects to make up for lost time .

As Jupiter changes direction it squares Uranus and opposes Pluto once again 'setting off' the Uranus-Pluto square, and over the next number of days we will see many events happening in our personal lives and in the world, and you can expect the hot spots around the globe to heat up in a big way.

Jupiter-Uranus is a gamblers transit. We may feel the urge to take a chance at something we otherwise might not do or feel inspired to go in a positive new direction. As Jupiter rules money, money may be made, or lost. Remember a gamble is just that and if you stray from your normal course in a big way it could work out in a big way or fail in just as big a manner, depending on what else is in your chart.

Jupiter opposing Pluto relates to individuals with an agenda to push or convince others of something, and it is an intense transit. Someone may try and convince you of something, or vice versa. This transit represents the autocratic promotion of moral, religious and philosophical ideas and can be prone to fanaticism in many areas of our personal lives and in the world.

Jupiter-Pluto represents a financial cycle and we may make changes in personal finances/investments, and we may see many changes in the world financial markets. It represents the rise of violence and terrorism worldwide.

Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto and Mars will form a grand cross becoming exact the third/fourth week of April and many events will happen in the world and our personal lives. The last time this transit occurred was 1934.
