Jupiter

Oh mighty Jupiter, Lord of Fortune, Time and Expansion, bring me good fortune in the coming year and I’ll dance till the cows come home. Or as long as my wonky knees will allow me.

My friend Dawn told me it will be a very fulfilling year for me as Jupiter is entering Aquarius. Jupiter, Lord of Fortune and Expansion will bring prosperity to many levels for me. Oh boy, I’m due for a boost as I’ve begun a career change and stepping forward into the public domain as I never did before. Here is an excerpt from Astrology on the Web.

Aquarius, the Water-Bearer

Every year, Jupiter, Lord of Fortune, moves from one sign to the next, setting the stage of human consciousness for the ensuing year. January 2009 sees the change from earthy Capricorn, the Goat, to airy Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, generating better chances for general success in life, but invoking a restless, nervous and erratic atmosphere in the collective, especially at a political, financial and religious level (these are the areas mainly governed by Jupiter). Rob Tillett, one of the founders of Astrology on the Web, discusses the effects this new transit will have on the various signs of the zodiac.

Jupiter is an optimistic and expansive influence, so in the coming year a good deal of benefit comes your way, as Jupiter transits your sign. Your unique way of presenting yourself to the world comes under the spotlight and it is a great time to push yourself forward and achieve your ambitions. It’s the ideal period in which to pursue pleasure, advancement and executive honours. It’s just the year to follow that urge to travel! As your health and physical appearance improves and your individuality comes into focus, you’ll be uncharacteristically bullish and noticeably more outgoing and optimistic about the future. Pleasure is to be found just about everywhere! You should not hesitate to put your plans for advancement into action, as you will naturally attract attention and will exude confidence. Travel for pleasure, higher education or spiritual development is favoured, as people from distant parts or other religions and cultures to your own take the focus. You will benefit through interaction with them, so relax and enjoy the experience. Jupiter is expansive, but your expansion should not be mainly in the waistline! Avoid overindulgence in all forms, especially in food, drink and the pursuit of excitement, particularly gambling and speculation. Overconfidence will be the big trap.
