Jupiter turns direct/Full moon in Sagittarius this week

Jupiter turns direct June 9, at 10:04 AM, EST.

Jupiter is the planet of gain and expansion, and it has been retrograde since February 6. When retrograde, the beneficial rays of Jupiter are not as powerful, and sometimes can even work to the detriment in certain situations.

When Jupiter turns stationary direct, the planet of expansion becomes very powerful in a beneficial way. If this is aspecting something in your personal chart, you can see benefit and gain at this time, wherever it is falling in your chart. Things will pick up now, especially involving business and money.

Jupiter will remain at 13 degrees of Libra through July 3, when it begins its onward trek forward. It will remain in Libra benefiting Libra and other Air signs, or anyone with personal planets compatible with Libra: Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius. Libra is the sign that rules marriage and partnerships of all types so the likely hood here increases if Jupiter makes positive aspects in your personal chart.

If you are a female and Jupiter turns direct on your Sun, Mars or Venus, this increases your chances of meeting someone. If you are a male, the same is true if it turns direct on your Moon or Venus. This can be a powerful and positive time.

On the same day, the final full Moon of Spring, falls on Friday, June 15, at 18. 53 degrees of Sagittarius.  Sagittarius is the sign ruled by Jupiter.

Venus is sextile Mars, June 9, and this is a positive transit for love and social activities. But, this Moon will also conjunct Saturn, the planet of restriction and responsibility. Obligations and duties may be front and center and some things may end. Saturn is about reality and structure.

This Moon is conjunct the fixed star Sabik at 18 degrees of Sagittarius. According to Robson  and Ptolemy it is of the nature of Saturn and Venus. It causes wastefulness, lost energy, perverted morals, and success in evil deeds. With the Moon: Secret enmity and jealousy, trouble through relatives, successful but not wealthy.

In the US natal chart, this Moon squares Neptune and opposes Mars. In the US we will be hearing about scandals and Mars relates to anger, and could involve the military or violence.

As Jupiter turns direct square the US Sun, the focus will be the US President and the legal system or legal issues.

Mars conjuncts Venus in the US chart, and Venus rules women, money and values. As it falls in the 7th house of 'open enemies,' we will hear news here as well.

We will likely hear news of foreign entities or people.

I recommend caution with all full moons. As the Sun opposes the Moon, people tend to get overly emotional, and act on impulses they would otherwise have under control. Jupiter can blow things out of proportion, good or bad.

With Venus and Mars in aspect however, for some this may be a positive time for social activity, friendship and fun. My advice is to use this moon to expand something in your life, tapping into the positive potential.
