On 12th of June, ”The Great Benefactor”, Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini, to transit this very sign for an entire year. This ambassador of good will brings a very important influence in the year when collective task is supposed to be raising awareness and a general breakthrough into the higher state of consciousness. Essentially, this breakthrough is being conveyed through the executive power of Jupiter itself.
Basically, Jupiter represents consciousness, spiritual and intellectual insights by means of religion, psychology, philosophy, knowledge and higher education, usually within the range of professional interests and personal and professional improvement. The question of self-improvement has been brought into the spotlight as essential on a more massive level in the contemporary world, depicted by the recent apparent movement of one of the four brightest stars in Milky Way, Regulus, the Archangel Raphael, “Watcher of the North” into the sign of Virgo, that should be establishing a new principle as relevant for the progress of mankind. Personal development issue turns out to be of the key importance.
Jupiter in Gemini announces that this issue should be starting to become conscious and effective, operating on a more massive level, as a predominant condition for general progress and evolution of mankind. Due to the position of Saturn in Libra by September, the focus,ultimate tasks and lessons are within the area of interpersonal relations, partnerships, social interactions, diplomacy as well as the role of diplomatic influence in political affairs, in the final stage. Starting from September, major lessons refer to intimacy issues, personal power and libido, energy issues as well as restructuring of the world power, oil business etc. The ultimate aim is forming an attitude that should be governing us in the years to come, hopefully in a progressive way.
The truth liberates and what seems to be the imperative within the planetary constellations of Uranus-Pluto Square, Jupiter transit is happening, is exactly discovering the truth as the guiding light on the individual as well as collective level in both spiritual and material worlds. Speaking of psychodynamics on the individual level, this transit should bring out into the consciousness issues of the subconscious by the awakening of the deep-rooted knots of frustration or a conflict. In terms of Freudian psychoanalysis, Jupiter should convey into the consciousness “the catharsis, releasing repressed instinctually charged memories in order to free the psyche and the body from neurotic fixations, thus bringing the suppressed energies to conscious awareness and expression”. In general, there should be a way to release the inner tension through conscious insights into the issue, with the enhanced potential of realizing the truth about ourselves. That is a sort of purification that should transform the tension into optimism, faith, hope and resultatively bring about the higher level of consciousness. The urge of 2012 in the first place.
Additionally, taking into consideration that Gemini represents mind but also multi-media, there may be some development in the form of exposing the truth about governing structures that may result in additional tension of the atmosphere of “rebellion in the air”. The key importance is to prevent potential outbursts of massive discontent by urging people of all structures to raise awareness of the important issues of human existence such as regaining faith in the era of twilight of religion Neptune in Pisces is due to recover. It seems that in minds of people there should be a heaven-sent guidance in order to restructure the figures on the global chess board in the years to come, with reference to Saturn transit through Scorpio.
Expansion of writings and writers, intellectuals, multi-media that Jupiter in Gemini is about to bring should establish new standards and criteria that are due to provide the higher accessibility of the truth so that it could make necessary changes, if not in the power-obsessed material world, on the spiritual level of self-improving individuals at least. That’s how the necessary change stands greater chance to be a progressive one.

 

In addition, the expansion on a level of communication should enhance the energetic metabolism between people on a massive level, bringing also more short-term travels and arousing motivation for continuing education or improvement on a professional as well as personal level. Altogether, raising standards and criteria of all the professional requirements or at least raising necessity brings about concerns on prospective outlook in a way that professional improvement i.e. education becomes burning issue in the times when raising awareness of environmental and existential matters come into the spotlight.

 

Starting from the 4^th of October up to 30^th of January 2013, Jupiter is going retrograde, making sure all the growing issues and tasks of raising awareness are being set into motion. Retrograde mode brings about some catching-up-to-do kind of development in the sense that overwhelmed minds take some time to pack all the pieces of the puzzle together, in accordance with the symbolism of Gemini that operates with vital information for the purposeful existence. Also, the initiated wave of expansion and understanding, namely all the things that we have started to be conscious of, that have come in a tide are now being exposed to a proper understanding, refering to all the psychodynamic issues of realization and liberation of inner frustration mentioned above. On the individual level. Globally, people are being challenged to fully grasp the truth about the world and themselves considering the recent development that has brought about so much, one has to put up with up to January, in order that proper attitude prevails. All the novelties and new enterprises that have set in motion some fresh activities may start to develop in a more concrete manner in this period i.e. we may finally tend to see the results of the efforts that we have been investing into our personal expansion since June. Whatever has been agreed is now being conveyed and put into practice.

Psychologically speaking, the issue of self-improvement is being put into effect in these several months, considering already initiated process since June. Metaphorically speaking, all the new softwares that we have obtained from various sides, we need to apply on our PCs in the months to come.

 

Starting from 23rd of August up to 7th of October, Mars will be transiting the sign of Scorpio.
Scorpio, as the natural sign of the 8th house represents essential insights,resources, basic energetic potential,libido, sexuality and power, regeneration and transformation,psychologically speaking, but also a research, massive inclination, large cash flows, business and the global economy, oil industry, world domination games and again power. The entrance of Mars should energize these issues in a way that they appear mostly in black and white paradigm, with a tendency of grasping the essence of the matters, aiming at bull’s eye with no compromise. We may as well feel as edgy as it takes to accomplish what we want, capable of taking risks as an instinctive drive, even if that is not in our nature. The powerful energy of Mars is pushing us ahead to make a breakthrough no matter what, we just feel powerful enough to do it. On the way to a battlefield and the ultimate fight of the year, we might as well inform ourselves how to handle it.

Regeneration – the first thing. Since Scorpio represents energetic resources i.e libido, as the basic psychological energy, and not just sexual, according to C.G. Jung, what seems to be the greatest positive influence of this transit might be filling up the reservoirs of the psyche in a way that it regenerates our basic power. It is already in the air, soon enough we should feel charged with energy enough to feel like shooting a gun, hitting a target…what’s more the centre of the target.Trigger happy as we might be, thinking more black and white than ususal and feeling in straits of the extremes, we might choose impulsively. However, those are winning impulses. Additionally, libido is empowered and sexual energy has somewhat stronger drive as well. As a result, general refreshment is what takes place, so make sure you have time for everything that brings you a recharge.
Essential insights – Scorpio is the sign of psychologists, researchers, mystics, warriors,detectives, spies and surgeons so that we all might as well feel a little bit like those. More than usual, that’s for sure. Basically, energizing Mars may convey the ultimate insights into areas of importance since Jupiter has entered Gemini in June. Namely, the focus of the year is bringing up into the consciousness all the inner nods, and potential conflicts and suppressed emotions from the past, all the tempered energy in people, depicted in Uranus-Pluto square for the purposes of self-awareness and self-improvement in the ideal image. However, these inner discontent already pulsing from within may outrageously burst into the public as the culmination of the year since Mars in Scorpio provides a channel for grasping things down to the bottom line as well as expressing it with no withholding but as a necessity or even urge. The ultimate path is moving downward to the essence of the issue and then upward to a sort of resurrection or liberation. The very energy of the Phoenix bird is the energy of Mars in Scorpio, that has the power to rise from ashes and bring life. Nothing livelier than Mars in Scorpio. They say that those full of death are full of life and only this position, as one of the most powerful positions of Mars, if not the most powerful one, may feel the “eros” and the will for life in such a degree that may arise from the dead. Psychologically, the essential insights into matters of relevant kinds visible in natal charts, may breed in a new life and resurrect the energy by purification, transformation of the general outlook on the issue. If something may be called miraculous in potential, than it is this position of Mars. For all the people that do believe in miracles, now is the time to make them.

Once in a blue moon, actually in 2.7 years, full moon turns out to be the 4th full moon in a season. This one 8 degrees Pisces is called “blue moon” for this very reason. Full moon generally empowers emotions, instincts, intuition and enriches psyche with special perception of the spiritual, nature and the invisible, thus providing a sensual experience depicted by the relevant house of zodiac. This one, the full Moon in Pisces would be ideal for reading “The Celestine Prophecy” for example or dealing with extrasensory experience of the spiritual that the very Pisces consider normal. Namely, Pisces empower senses and their sensitive point of view calls for awakening of psyche to the subtle vibrations and perceptions of the mind and body , thus noticing all the seemingly coincidental appearances or happenings around us, perceiving the subtle nuances and awaking the spirit to sensations that provide great inspiration. Pisces represent the sublime knowledge of all the previous signs and cherish wisdom that sooner or later finds its way to consciousness. Now is the time to wake up the senses and enjoy the “Glass Bead Game” of life as a synthesis of all the feelings and information, arts and sciences on the way to accomplishing a purpose and gaining the feeling of fulfillment. Time to “turn on, tune in and drop out”.

Venus in Leo in the sky, needless to say royal exposure of the emotions and that velvet quality of a touch. Star-shine of the skin and natural inclination to luxurious, exuberant taste, for as long as it takes to feel special, about oneself as well as about the dear ones. Something glorious in the air, love in the anticipation of a victory. The conquest ahead. Or at least it seems. Highlighted moments of the partners that feel the warmth and the fulfillment, at least for the time being. Suddenly, we feel like doing something special for the significant one, delivering pleasure in somewhat more expressive and generous way, we make affirmations of all the good quality and neglect all the imperfections. It’s the time when nothing really matters, love is all we need, straight from the lion heart. Giving without wanting in return. Expensive gifts and fancy dating. First class treatment is what we need to feel good.
Along with Mars in Scorpio vibrations, the sparks of passion are twinkling before our eyes and everybody seems to be so special, particularly those that inspire our imagination. Theater may be the place to visit more often at this time of year, the urge for drama has to recompense the potential lack of excitement in love life, although we feel like we would so embark upon a romance, anticipating that something is about to lighten up our hearts. Suddenly, we tend to notice that the lady turns out to be such a drama queen, especially some time the end of the month. If we love, we seem to adore, if loved, we need to feel adored. We’re all shook up after turbulences of the unconscious trying to find the way, grasping the inner pressure of the anxiety that Jupiter in Gemini is bringing up to consciousness telling us that everything is going to be all right. So we revive grasping the big picture, making affirmations of the positive aspect of the issue and improving our status. Essentially, we tend to really feel the self-worth, grasping the true self from a perspective of a value, the value that we attach to ourselves. We feel worthy of the praise we get, we provide the same and feel like wearing our heart like a crown.

Scorpio is natural sign of the 8th house of Zodiac and the analogy is that all the energetic metabolism of existence is basically happening through it. The 8th house represents the basic energetic potential and libido, that is defined as overall psychological,not just sexual, energy, according to K.G.Jung. It is the area of energetic communication between people that is happening in the underlying matrix and that is a specific kind of battlefield where everything we do results in variations in its capacity. Consequently this accumulated amount of energy directly reflects on the financial status i.e. the amount of money that we are capable of obtaining. It is naturally designed process of financial accomplishment due to the natural capability and the energetic capacity of the individual. The 8th house is area of which the ultimate expression in Chinese astrology is represented as the sign of Dragon, denoting altogetherness of nature and universality of human performance that unifies all the skills into a unique power that could be described as omnipotence or omniscience. The entrance of Saturn into the sign of Scorpio that naturally rules this process, signifies the urge for restructuring and control of power on a massive level, psychologically and actually. The ultimate aim of this 2.5-year-transit is learning the lesson of self-control and self-governance for the sake of preservation of our natural and actual power as well as governance of our natural and actual assets. The people with natural Saturn in Scorpio or 8th house, naturally possess the talent for control of one’s own energy and power. They have the natural ability preserve themselves somewhere deep inside and operate with the minimum of energy they allow themselves to invest into matters of relevance. However, it seems that they always possess more than they feel is on their disposal. The lesson this time is exactly to learn to manage one’s own energy from the perspective of wisdom for the sake of well-being and all the modern techniques of energetic self-regulation aim at self-solvent energetic capacity that is the base of a fulfilled life, in accordance to the Holistic principle. All this should result in financial state of well-being in the times of not only financial but energetic crisis, in the world where energy and information are the most expensive goods. Sexuality, as a modus of preservance of health and power gets into spotlight, demanding a conscious outlook on the issue and setting up of the rules one has to obey in order to have good quality of sexual life. Potential sexual disfunction on a more massive level due to discharged energetic power of the 8th house i.e. basic energetic reservoir of the psyche, may be issues to consider with enhanced attention and all the new-age techniques of self-preservation may come into spotlight and draw even more people that need a helping hand. Globally, the issue of restructuring of power, psychologically and actually in the following 2.5 years, implies to the necessity of imposing control over all these issues on both the individual and collective level. Cultures such as Israel or Japan, may be largely challenged to deal with these issues that may result in some particular approach or even new theories or new attitude. It is some sort of Karma, that’s for sure, with the necessity of reconsidering the matter of power restructuring, psychologically along with growing tendencies of self-improvement urge and actually in the sense of financial well-being.
Large turmoils within a psyche on the individual as well as on a massive level, represented by Uranus-Pluto square that require close attention by all means of self-improvement techniques, guided by Jupiter in Gemini, in charge for raising personal awareness, are altogether a new challenge of mankind to overcome all inner frustrations and pressure, starting from self-brooding and coping with all the fears, complexes or prejudice on the way to liberation. That is a first thing on to-do list and the only way of accomplishing fulfillment and control over one’s own life, represented by upcoming Saturn in Scorpio, because only when one learns to govern one’s own assets and resources, psychologically and actually, becomes capable of controlling one’s own life. On a more massive level, the urge for restructuring and control of energy may lead to new set of rules, new frames of mind control or resources exploitation. In one word – restructuring of power.
Namely, all concepts of power are coming into the spotlight in a way that the truth known by Scorpios that true power lies in the knowledge and wisdom, should motivate people to grasp the inner truth about themselves ,on the individual level, by raising personal awareness on the issues of vital importance for survival. It takes a conscious effort to awaken the inner forces of Eros, as the most powerful force of vital importance, and thus make affirmations of creativity and good versus the forces of tanatos and destruction. There is a thin line in the natural drive of Scorpio between the two, so that instead of natural forces running unbound, the control of personal power and the urge for gaining wisdom that is being born due to the healthiest fear ever and that is a fear of God, is the issue to deal with in the years to come. The true freedom is in respecting the rules one sets for oneself and the freedom of spirit and will is a gift from God. Why not make it real.
