Why Hasn’t Jupiter in Aries Shown up Yet?

Hey everyone, this is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Today we're going to talk about Jupiter in Aries again, and we're going to answer a specific question that I've been getting a whole bunch through social media. Some of my students have been asking me about this. The gist of the question is, hey, what's the deal? Jupiter's entered Aries. I thought it would be like rocket fuel. You know, we talked about Jupiter in Aries as this really dynamic benefic planet entering the cardinal fire sign, the first sign of the zodiac, a sign associated with spring and youth and birth. Like, where's the blastoff? Right? I was expecting it. It hasn't come yet. Why hasn't it come? When will it be?

So we're going to try to address that question today from a variety of different angles. I'm going to also talk a little bit about the three decans of Aries and how a planet transiting through a sign, especially a slower-moving one, will tell a story according to which subsection of the sign it is in the first 10 degrees, the second 10 degrees or the third 10 degrees so that we can also begin to understand Jupiter in Aries as a process. It's easy when making videos about Jupiter in Aries to kind of hype it up, right? But the truth is that you know when it first enters, sometimes you get a really big splash.

Often though, it's the overall process and looking back on it after the fact, you know, that will yield the most results; you'll really see the impact that Jupiter in Aries had, for example, by the time Jupiter enters Taurus. Unfortunately, it's hard sometimes, when you're in the midst of a transit, to really recognize or notice it. Anyway, I'm going to give you some tips for noticing how to notice Jupiter in Aries, as well as the kind of developmental arc that Jupiter in Aries might have, according to the three decans that travel through. And also the time when I think Jupiter in Aries will really pop, which has not yet happened. So that's what we're going to talk about today.

In the meantime, as always, don't forget to like and subscribe when you share comments and share your thoughts and reflections. It really helps everything grow. I also really love it. If you have a story rooted in one of the transits we're talking about that you use the hashtag grabbed, and then tell us your story, or email us grabbed at nightlight astrology.com. And tell us your story because I aggregate those and occasionally do storytelling episodes that are just priceless. So if you have one of those, feel free to share using that hashtag or the email address.

Don't forget also; we now have just like two more days left. We have Friday. And we have Saturday, New Year's Eve, to try and hit our goal, which is to reach 1608 backers and our annual Kickstarter by New Year's Eve midnight. So technically New Year's Day. When you donate, obviously, you can choose a reward. And those include all sorts of lectures and special talks that I do on the astrology of 2023 or your horoscope reading for 2023. This can also include huge discounts on all of my online courses, 50% off, and if you bundle four together, you get 75% off. We still have some of those packages left. So you can find the link to the Kickstarter in the description of this video in the comment section below. We've had a really big push the past couple of days.

We are now, as of the time I'm recording this, we are, you know, probably like 400 ish left to go 450, something like that. We can do that. That's doable in the last three days of the Kickstarter. Typically, we get everyone kind of like, oh yeah; I've been meaning to donate. And at the last minute, I will. So let's see if we can get there, guys. If we get there, we are going to be creating an amazing service for you for the community, which is the development of an affordable reading service that will allow people to get readings from some of my best and brightest graduates. There are 1000s of people that come through my programs. And I will be developing a staff of really talented individuals who need experience who need to start earning money as astrologers. And also, this will provide a service for people that will be affordable.

So, for example, when I started off as an astrologer in my first year, I did about 500 readings, but I did them all by donation just so that I could get experience before I set a standardized rate. And then, over time, like most astrologers, as you get more experience, your rates may rise incrementally as you go along. But the hard part for many astrologers who are talented who go through, you know, in-depth training programs like the one-year program, the two-year program, I have six years worth of programs that I teach. If you go through those programs, you're still like, where do I get experience? It's not like you can go and, you know, just most of the people have to build their clientele on their own.

So the idea here is to provide an opportunity for students to get experience and just start earning money. It's like opening an energetic valve to start having the experience of being an astrologer. It's very, very important. This is a service to students. This is also going to be a service to people who otherwise couldn't afford a reading, or the wait time is a year-long, or it's just out of your price range to get a reading from a professional astrologer that you like my wait time was a year, and my rates are fixed based on, you know, my level of experience.

So the point of this service is to make a reading service that is really high quality and affordable for people. Because most of the time, good, really good astrological readings are going to be a long wait, and they're going to be pricing some people out, I think that that ought to change. So that's why we're trying to reach this goal. If you donate, that's the big thing that you're helping us with at this point; the remaining goal that we have left is to meet that threshold of 1608 backers and create the service.

So again, when you do that, come and study in one of my classes, come and take one of my classes you get it 50% off; if you bundle a bunch together, you get up to 75% off my Roots and Spheres class. They are the moon circle that pairs the study of astrology, every moon cycle along with dieting, different herbal plants, and my wife and I guiding that session that starts in January. That's on sale through the Kickstarter. The readings and passages program is for people who have already started studying Hellenistic astrology but need live client work and chart practice. That class starts in January as well.

My Year One program, a year two program, and my horary program, all start in June and November of this year; you can join any of those you can use the coupons whenever you want. They never expire, you can transfer them or gift them, so they're really flexible. All right, thank you for letting me talk about the Kickstarter; really trying to bang the drum hard here as we come down the homestretch. Let's see if we can get there. And thank you so much to everyone who's already donated. I love doing this work. I live and breathe this work every single day of my life. And it's an honor to do it for you guys. It's a real privilege to have such a great audience. All right. Well, at any rate, so let's get into it.

The main complaint summarized is what gives? Jupiter in Aries is not delivering the goods; when is Jupiter in Aries going to deliver me some Jupiter in Aries heat. Now I'm ready for it. Why not? And I've heard this like enough that I was like, you know, that's interesting. I haven't experienced that. Like it's been very noticeable for me, and I'm not gonna go into it. I'm not quite ready to tell all of my personal Jupiter in Aries moments so far, but I feel like it's been very noticeable in my life right now.

So, but I have heard it enough from other people that I recognize that not everyone is experiencing it or is kind of like underwhelmed like, what the heck, I thought Jupiter in Aries is going to be this big thing. So let's just look and see. I want you to notice something. One is that Jupiter was already in Aries, and Jupiter was in Aries in 2022, earlier in the year. And so we've already spent a good deal of time on the degrees that Jupiter is currently in right now. And that may have something to do with it. Alright, let's look back at Jupiter in Aries. And its entrance into Aries last spring.

So this is Jupiter's entrance into Aries. So this is May 10, 2022. Alright, so, and then I just want you to notice like I'm just going to advance this along. So, on May 10, 2022. Jupiter enters Aries, its forward motion through the zodiac. Actually, I'll circle it so that you can see it. So it's right there. So it gets to about eight degrees, and it turns retrograde over the summer. And then it passes backward and eventually goes into late Pisces again at the end of October. Okay, so the first 10 degrees of Jupiter in Aries, we have gotten to know quite thoroughly already. And right now, if you look at what's going on, Jupiter is here we go. Jupiter is just at that zero-degree marker right now. And it doesn't actually cross outside of that eight-degree mark.

Let's just push this forward here. Not until about February 15 does it get into the ninth degree, where it is essentially in new territory. Now I'm not suggesting that, so that means you shouldn't be feeling anything whatsoever from Jupiter. But the reason that this is important is that Jupiter, any slow-moving planet when it's moving through a sign, even faster-moving planets, so it's easier to track or notice with slower ones, is going to tell us a story. And that story came from ancient astrologers and was often tracked according to the development of the planet through the three decans. The first decan, the second decan, and the third decan.

The decan is a division of all the signs of the zodiac into three parts of 10 degrees; each course is 30 degrees per sign. So you've got 10-degree sub-subsections, three of them per sign. Now each one had a variety of alchemical and magical images associated with them over time; they have been associated with different tarot cards, different planetary combinations, different teachings, and kind of mythic images.

And so I'm not suggesting that I have the skeleton key, and I perfectly understand the decans. There are people you know who spent a lot more time on them than I do. Certainly, one of the reasons I thought about doing this today is because I'm going on today, I'm also going on Spencer, if you guys know Spencer from Spencer Michaud from the Astrology of Sports podcast, I'm going on his Instagram live feed or whatever it is, or maybe it's his YouTube channel, I can't remember. And I am doing a talk on the new moon or the, Yeah, the New Moon in Capricorn. And so we're looking at the moon cycle, basically, that we're in right now. And he's big into the decans. And so I was thinking as I was trying to figure out how to talk about Jupiter in Aries. And why maybe we haven't seen it pop yet? I thought, well, you know, one thing that's very true is that the decans tell a story. And right now, we've kind of really already gotten to know that first decan of Aries and its story for a while. So I think that we're going to see a shift when Jupiter enters and leaves that first decan. I think we're gonna see a noticeable shift with Jupiter in Aries. Maybe to the extent that if you feel like in this, this past December around the solstice when Jupiter entered Aries, nothing sort of major happened.

It could be because we're essentially revisiting degrees that have already been visited twice once their direct motion wants to retrograde and now again through direct motion, all in the same decan. So in order to understand the first 10 degrees of Aries and what we've been dealing with, I want to read you something that comes from the only book on the decans that I've found that really clicks for me, which is called 36 Faces the History, astrology, and magic of the decans by one of my colleagues, Austin Copic, who is a regular on the astrology podcast with Chris Brennan. He often has come and spoke spoken to and given talks for my students on multiple occasions. And one time, he came and gave a talk on the decans which was which came from this book, and I really thought it was a wonderful talk.

So I ended up picking up a copy of the book. And it's a resource that I occasionally use, though not the biggest; I'm not a Decan aficionado by any stretch. So anyway, here is Aries one the first 10 degrees, and this is what Austen writes about it. When the Arabic sages started into the first decan of the zodiac and beckoned what was veiled to come forward, they saw a dark man with Crimson eyes, his hands clutching a battle axe and his manner furious. This figure was said to grant victory and war domination over one's enemies.

A half millennium before that, this decan was identified with the axe-wielding spirits chon tear, and all a famous I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that correctly. Five hundred years later, in his three books of occult philosophy, Agrippa describes the figure in nearly identical terms. A similarly vermilion figure stares out over a castle wall, and the two of wands and the Rider Waite Tarot its image in the form of the late 19th-century synchronization of the card with the second. The axe pictured in so many of the images is a weapon of obvious martial purpose, yet the axe menace conceals its role as a symbol and magical tool. The gory martial history of the acts need not be explained, but its function may need to be understood with more subtlety. The axe is the primordial splitter, the first and still best tool for creating two out of one life on all levels requires this division for growth, and the cell undergoes mitosis splitting itself. All cosmologies begin with this Sundering of the one.

The splitting of the one is a severance from the symbolic mother, the womb from which all things emerge in this decan what is motherly and unifying constricts development rather than furthering it. The child is only truly born as a separate individual when the umbilical cord has been severed. The axe is also a crucial tool in taming the environment. Trees become lumber beneath its blade, and the dynamic but unsympathetic profusion of nature is brought under the pattern of individual will. A man makes a cabin for himself in the wilderness. The axe is a tool of the first individual bravely severing himself from the Primordial Mother and building a distinct and individual life. This assertion of selfhood is diluted yang and, in principle, phallic, no matter the gender of who embodies it. The phallus in play here is a symbol of potency no matter who, no matter the gender, of who embodies it. The phallus in play here is a symbol of potency.

Yet really, its reality involves tremendous vulnerability, the same vulnerability that the lone individual faces in a sometimes hostile world. The acts may be the tool by which the individual liberates themselves from the collective, but it is also the cruel weapon of the Primordial Mother as castrator, the limiting force with which the warlike figures of the decan wrestle. This is the essence of this face, the individual young struggling out of the collective historically; many of the images associated with this decan have pictured a dark man. The first decan of the zodiac and the reckoning of many systems, the individual personality has not had time to develop; there is only being and doing; thus is the figure dark, for the spirit has not yet coalesced into a socialized personality, and the actions are as yet unfiltered.

There is a raw will here, savage yet naive, the tyrannical spirit of the infant. Yet it is important to note that the untamed nature of these drives is not intentionally cruel; it is merely the will pressing reality to conform with its pattern. Though fierce, the figures seen in this face are not always successful as theirs as an unsettled force, and some trials require the wits of tricksters rather than the sword arms of warriors. By engaging in contests of will, those who travel this decan may have to submit to those who beat them in this game and deed.

It is often the first lesson of the dominant personality to experience the other side of the do add they constantly recreate. There is a tendency in the second to try to do too much with force alone, not comprehending the subtle cycles of the world. Karmic Debts accumulate quickly, calling to the destroying mother to come, axe in hand. The raw assertion of an individual being here has several magical uses that may be tapped in order to sever contacts and break bonds, which no longer serve one might also direct this force to a portion of their environment that is out of control.

There is a power to bring subjective order to the world here to chop down trees to cut a path through the jungle, as demonstrated by some of the traditional lore in the decan; the raw power which burns here can also be turned on an enemy to dire effect. And the reds and blacks of this face lie the route of personal power, the untamed and unrestrained will, though necessary for all great works. Its nature is contrary to the civilized world; those born into the space and those who tap its power should both be wary of swatting flies with battle axes.

It's a good last line. So what I want to emphasize is so important about this and which I agree with fundamentally is that when a planet is going through a sign, the first portion of the sign is very different from the second portion or from the third portion, whether you're looking at it from the standpoint of the journey that it takes to the bounds, which are another subsection of degrees within the sign, or the fact that things start well in signs and tend toward entropy and more destructive qualities at the very ends of signs.

Whatever the case might be, if you're not feeling like, oh, wow, I thought Jupiter in Aries was really going to pack a punch, as it came back around this December, remember that it's already been through these degrees twice. So that's a huge thing that plays a very significant role in the way that you feel or notice or observe a planet, even if it's aspecting other planets in your chart because it's already done so twice.

So that's the first thing. The second thing is that Jupiter, what I like about what he's saying here in the first decan, and it gives you a way to think about it right, so the first decan of Aries has a lot to do with individuating. One way that you could easily understand this transit from last April was last May, sorry, May 10, through the end of October, is in what ways did I grow? In what ways did I have to assert myself in what ways that I have to sever, split, cut off, and individuate in a very primal, basic way?

Now there's one story I will tell you, which you already all know; there are others I'll keep to myself until I know I'm still in it, you know what I mean? So, one of them was, as Jupiter entered Aries and made some aspects in my chart, one of the individuating cutting of chords, acts that needed to happen for me was the departure from a religious community that I was a part of, which is a very Jupiter in Aries in the first decan kind of thing if that makes sense.

So look at your life and think to yourself, I'm in the process of a first decan and Aries process of individuation, of the severing of cutting of further defining myself. And this is a process that really is going to conclude in the next few months. So when does that conclude again about the end of February? I have it is about February 19 or 20th that Jupiter leaves that first decan and goes into the second decan. Now the second decan, in my opinion, is not its dynamic.

Let's just take a look. So you have not a lot of aspects going on from Jupiter to other planets the whole time. The one aspect is a conjunction from Venus in the early part of the second decan around the beginning of March. And then Venus separates, and Jupiter goes on its merry way. You have a new moon in Aries behind Jupiter around the right around the spring equinox or the Aries zero Aries point later in March. But you don't have anything like what's about to happen here.

So Mercury crosses Aries in the second decan. And so you've got Venus, a new moon prior to Jupiter. But these are still not like major, major aspects. But then things heat up when we get into the third decan once you get into the third decan, that's when things become really, really explosive. It's at that time that we get a synodic conjunction between Jupiter and the sun. So you have a conjunction between Jupiter and the sun around April 11. Then things get really spicy because that's kind of a rebirth moment for Jupiter in Aries. And Jupiter in Aries is now in sort of the final homestretch last decan of the sign, and I'm going to read you what the second and third decans are about as well. But after that, then things get really super interesting because then we have right after that, then we get into eclipse season.

Okay. And then, as eclipse season is going on, remember that Jupiter is slowly moving through Aries, and then it gets into that 29th degree of Aries. And I want you to see what's happening as it culminates at the very end of the sign of Aries. Notice Mars in its fall, the ruler of Jupiter in Aries coming into a square. As Jupiter is preparing to change signs, it will square Pluto, and then Mars will enter Leo and create a T square with the three planets. So interestingly, if I had to make a case for when you might feel Jupiter in Aries, that sort of its loudest and most powerful again, first, remember, it's a process consider that this first decan, so to speak. And these degrees that we're going through are not brand new. And so that might be a little bit about why, you know, I'm getting so many DMs from people and emails being like, well, what gives? Why don't I feel Jupiter in Aries a little bit more? Well, because it's a process and some of the most dynamic parts of the process seem to come during decans two and three, at least in terms of the remaining transit of Jupiter in Aries. There were some dynamic moments last summer as well in the first decan, but in terms of what you have left to deal with, decan one, two, and three, especially decan three, are where the party is at.

So if I had to stretch it out here, what I would say is that from, say, late February through mid-May, that is the most explosive time of Jupiter's transit through Aries that we have yet to experience, probably more dynamic than what we have seen recently, although I think a lot of people really felt the sun square to Jupiter at the winter solstice. So that was very brief.

So that's what I want to say about that. Now what I want to do is I want to show you how things are likely to progress from an archetypal standpoint in Aries decan two, or sometimes the decan is also called faces or decans.

So Aries two the crown. This is a royal face, for it is here that the sun's traditional degree of exultation is found. Here the individual struggles with their potential and what is truly royal inside them. The focal point of the second is the world that emanates from an individual. This reality field results from the qualities which they chose to embody the tarot cards syncretized with this decan. The Golden Dawn system is the three of wands whose title virtue offers a clue as to its meaning; all virtues or vices are habits.

Neither are generated in a day or left behind in a moment; they come to define not only character but the interaction of the character with the world around it. With the world around it, given time once virtues and vices come to define their lives. Indeed, the world remembers one for little elves, but these two; the practice of virtue advice, therefore, define a character luminous potential hardens in the scaffolding of practice like gold cast, stretched, and worked. Thus the potential becomes the royal regalia, the crown jewel of one's personal world; though the history of morality is overrun with lists of virtues and vices, their mixture in proportion within a given person is always unique. And from these endless admixtures arise a billion worlds. The figures of this face are always royal, for all emanate a world of their own making; though they may not understand the process by which they generated through contemplation of this face, we see the deep sovereignty all have over the nature of their world.

Though this face reveals profound truths about the process by which a personal world is generated, it does not speak to a particular type, for all realms proceed from the sovereign self, which radiates the complete mandala of Heavens, Hell's, and human realms. Though it is the self which generates these worlds, one does not abide in them alone. The world field generated draws those of light-vibration characters able to live out the stories written on the stage provided.

Those who intentionally generate their own world always find it stocked with refugees and settlers. Thus, those seen in this face are leaders, for they are followed; their actions and decisions are imitated. Their vices and virtues copied. Liber Hermetis names the ruler of the second Sabbath, one of the Hebrew God names used commonly in Kabbalah. I hope I said that correctly. It is generally translated as Lord of hosts, the attribution of this God named this decan a test the burdenship of leadership, the burden of leadership, which often falls upon the shoulders of the Creator, those who would create a world are responsible for the direction, those who reside within it, of those who reside, excuse me, those who would create a world that responsible for the direction those who reside within it.

Applied magically, this decan has tremendous power; it has the power to generate the world of your choosing and to be its sovereign; it is a key to creating pocket realities which do not obey the laws of the collective reality field in which they exist. It's interesting that in deccan one, we go from a kind of rudimentary raw cutting, splitting, and severing in order to be our own person, but that person is not yet sort of fully developed. In decan two, what I like about Austin's explanation is that it goes on to say that individuating comes the creation of a world and the responsibility for it, as well as the connection of what you create to the habits that you hold and your vices and virtues. That's remarkable.

It sort of feels like decan two, which, again, if we had to give you an exact timeline for decan two. So I'm gonna go back here. Decan two is going to be about February 20.

February 20 to April 4. So I just want you to imagine that, you know, take those dates February 20, April 4. And imagine now that we're moving into a phase where remember, Jupiter only has, there's that New Moon in Aries that comes in right around March 20 21st. Go back. Yeah, so it's the new moon in Aries is right about March 21. On just after the spring equinox. Mercury's going to conjoin Jupiter in the second decan; I think Venus does early in March as well. Let me just remember that, yes, in early March, Venus conjoined Jupiter.

So it's not like there's a ton of development while Jupiter's in that second decan. But you could think about late February through March as a time in which the continuation of those Jupiter in Aries themes individuating start to shift into vices, virtues, habits, and building a world sort of extending the individuation process into more of a world you inhabit. That is also, in some ways, its unique own thing as apart from the other, the rest of reality, sort of extending or expanding the process of individuation. But then it's decan three, where everything really takes off, and I thought this was this next part you guys are really gonna like. So check out what Austin has to say about part three, and this would be this decan runs from like around April 3 or fourth all the way into May when Jupiter enters Taurus. So that's going to be it enters Taurus, what about May 16? Okay, so you've got May 16. What did I say? The first one was April 4 to May 16.

So now this last part is very, very explosive. And part of that is because Jupiter will combust but then cazimi at the 21st degree on April 11. And then from that point on, you're getting the Jupiter Pluto Mars dynamic building, which then pops in about the middle of May as Jupiter is coming down the homestretch of the final decan. So to me, that is the part like April May when I think most people are gonna go, Oh, shit. You know, we've been dealing with Jupiter in Aries for like a year now. And it's been this whole process, and now I'm really seeing it. Because that's often what happens with slow-moving planets, you don't fully understand what they've been doing, what they've been teaching because you're in it, and then they hit that last part, and you're sort of reaping what's been sown.

Oftentimes you'll notice when a planet first enters or when it aspects planets in your chart are hits an important degree. But otherwise, it's as though it's a process that's playing out. And that's why I think sometimes following the decans can be a nice way of reminding yourself is there's a developmental process; we haven't hit part two of this process yet. It's all coming at the tail end. We spent a lot of it in part one, a very rudimentary form of individuating. Well, now it's going to expand right, and then we hit decan three, which is like the grand finale. So here it is.

Aries three the burning rose. In this face, we see the power of art to overcome hostility. This is the power of the dancer, the stand-up comedian, and a lecture to charm a hostile audience. Well, the first decan of Aries involves a focus on victory and competent, competitive, or hostile relationships, and the second is the establishment of conscious sovereignty over personal reality. The third decan scope extends outward in a more social direction, the spirit which established independence in the first decan in rulership, and the second here shines before many, setting fire to the hearts of all who bear witness.

This is the power of the spirit to unify and seduce, to motivate, and to bond those of confluent passions. The action of this decan which is according to one system, Venusian and another Jupiterian, is classically benefic; it requires the martial heat of the battlefield. A number of visions dance across the space, the performer stands before a hostile crowd, the sergeant crouches with his troops in a bunker bar while artillery rains down, and a hippie places a rose into the barrel of a loaded gun.

In all cases, that has the potential conflict which galvanizes this face is power to unify. There is a remarkable potency here to create a commonality of spirit, even in the most hostile conditions. Yet the bonds that form here often require that intensity to endure. The bond shared by military men, the celebrated spirit decays outside of wars pressures, and the audience members soon forget the performers who so moved them in loves battlefield once the friction and fire of the first conjunction with its terror inhalation have subsided, the lamp of raw passion burns low, a less volatile fuel is required for the flame to continue on.

In the 36 heirs of the zodiac, a fragmentary Hellenistic text, this face is given to Eros, ancestor of Cupid and deity of erotic desire. Well, some texts ascribe primordial origins to Eros. His attribution to this face more likely refers to his role as Aphrodite's troubling son Eros; arrows pierced the hearts of God and humans alike, setting up each aflame with desire. These love stories, like many seen in the space, did not all end in a harmonious union. Instead, from many arose disastrous dramas of passion over indulged. Arrows escapades make clear that the desire for unification is inflamed by separation, love by war, lust by forbiddance. With the flames of war so surges the heart. The difficulty for those who walk the territory these images and close is to understand when the passion which fuels a relationship is created wholly by the intensity of circumstance.

Peeking through the window of the space, we can see the lovers trapped in the second circle of Dante's Inferno, their union unable to exist outside the chaotic and destructive winds of their own passion. Yet the space offers no curse; one must simply understand the limitations of its power. There are peak experiences here inspiring unions amidst life's great struggles. Yet the one who walks the scenes misunderstands that these experiences do not promise anything of the future. And that fact is just part and parcel of their glory; the rose shines most brightly when it is on fire.

It is the burning rose, which exemplifies this decans power, embodied it grants the charisma to motivate and attract when its light is called toward a particular situation. Bonds are forged and spirits raised. Beautiful beautiful description. And one of the things that I think is super interesting about this is that there's the idea here of it's, it's almost like you can see the development of you're going in decan one, there's this feeling of severing, splitting individuating in a very basic, almost like baby step kind of way. It's a big step, but it's like, it's just the beginning.
In the second, there's this feeling of expanding the world that you took to create a world and for it to be rooted in your habits, your vices, and your virtues.

In the third, it's as if there's a conflagration; there's something transcendent, something being released, something that needs to burn, and you get to a point where passion is so intense will and the ego, and the individual realm of desire becomes so intense that it can burn you, but it's through that burn that you learn some of the most important lessons, and I suspect it is just that burn that transcendent, all-consuming, burn and whether that is rooted in our vices or virtues or ego, or the most generous spirit we have being consumed by something being lifted by some kind of transcendent flame is what we have in store for that April May period. And that's probably the period where people will go, oh, wow, this there's been a whole story for the past year with Jupiter in Aries.

So I think people ought to be patient for that reason. Let's reread one little thing he says that the 36 heirs of the zodiac have fragmentary Hellenistic texts; this face is given to arrows ancestor of Cupid, and deity of erotic desire. Erotic desire doesn't mean just sex; it could be that, like, certainly, the idea of becoming powerful and individuating can come with, with the appeal of power and the force of individual will often comes desire, and so that the natural conclusion of this is like, what's too much? Or what's too hot? Or what's overwhelming, or where have I become completely intoxicated, or maybe where I have transcended and lifted into something sort of holy and ecstatic beyond even my own personal will, something spiritual?

But the idea here that I want you to think about is of a flame rising up, and the image of the blazing rose at the last decan between March and April, as the sun is burning up Jupiter, and then they have this synodic conjunction. And then you get this as Jupiter finishes at that critical degree and immediately goes into a square with Pluto and Mars. And that's in the middle of May. So to me, I think that the lessons of Jupiter in Aries and the way that Jupiter in Aries wants to teach and grow us, so to speak, especially through that lens of Cardinal fire, you're going to notice it more intensely, in, you know, say late February through May, then you probably have already because the first 10 degrees is a little bit more basic, in a sense.

So anyway, I hope that answers the question and gives you some really fun things to look forward to and kind of wonder about, and I'd love to hear your comments or reflections on anything you've already experienced with Jupiter into Aries. I'd be fascinated to hear. Please use the hashtag grabbed or share a story with us by emailing us grabbed @nightlightastrology.com

Don't forget we're trying to get to 1608 backers. Can we get there? I think we can; I really do. I believe that we're not that far away. Let me just recheck here. Yeah, we've even had five or six donations since I started making this, so I know we can do it. We just need people who say I love this channel. I watch it regularly, once or twice a week, maybe your five-day-a-week person, maybe you're two-three times a month. But if it gives you something positive, if it helps you, if it grows you as an astrologer, please consider pitching in and supporting us. We really appreciate it, and thanks to everyone who's already donated, or that's what I've got for today. Hope you guys are having a good one. We'll see you again tomorrow. Bye
