I hadn't been paying attention but a major astrological event occurred today: Jupiter entered Sagittarius. Jupiter only moves its station once a year, so this significantly affects the influences we will feel into December 2007.

Jupiter's effects are to expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our understanding. Jupiter represents optimism, growth, generosity, joy, and abundance. In Scorpio, Jupiter expanded our awareness of our intimate relationships, personal power, and coping skills. Sagittarius' focus is, of course, different than Scorpio's area of expertise.

Jupiter's transit through the sign that it rules, fiery Sagittarius, urges us to increase our cultural and spiritual awareness, to expand our higher minds, to broaden our experiences, and to have faith in the universe. As Jupiter moves through Sagittarius, we deepen our interest in philosophical, and perhaps religious, thought, and determine what it is that gives us joy--what truly is important in our lives in the long run. We trust in something higher than us, and this gives us a sense that we are doing the right thing and that we are spiritually protected--"things will work out" is the overall attitude now.

Cafe Astrology has more, including how Jupiter in Sagittarius affects each particular sign.

With everything lately seeming to be moving into Sagittarius the mood feels lighter and I, for one, couldn't be happier. I do well with Fire and for me the energy that Sagittarius brings is a welcome change. I could use a little joy and abundance; this past year has been intense and difficult. It's nice to think of looking outwardly to expand into the world after so much time spent looking inward.
