[celestialstatus]

the full moon eclipse in taurus forces us to surrender control and give into the inevitability of change. eclipses are supercharged catalysts for transformations, higher lunations that move around chess pieces on the boards of our lives. this full moon eclipse is in conjunction with uranus, emphasising the element of unexpected change and shocking events that eclipses naturally bring. the taurean influence may force us to examine our definitions of worth, stability and control (find out which house this is going through to understand the areas this is happening for you). big shifts like this require endurance, open mindedness and trust that the change you experience is being beckoned by a higher force. with time you will see that the shockwaves rippling out into your life in the coming months were necessary for movement and growth. rest, release, reflect.

mars is in gemini⚡️

when mars, a planet of passion, will and action ingresses into juvenile and mercurial gemini, our sense of motivation seems to belong to our brains rather than our bodies. it may feel like whip-smart ideas zip to your minds surface at a faster, less even pace than usual, or that you are more drawn to entities that expand ways of thinking. gemini is infinitely curious, which has its positives but can also feel overwhelming at times. we may feel like our brains have reached full capacity and are swarming with so many ideas/thoughts that we can’t possibly grasp them. gemini is also something of a trickster or an illusionist, his undeniable sense of resourcefulness can imply deception. this means it’s also important now that we can navigate through the fog that gemini’s quick scheming can create by tuning into our inner compasses’. be wary of unfiltered gossip, people using big words to say small things and pickpockets! this is somewhat of a unique transit in that mars will be here for 7 months due to retrograde. ways you can channel the energy from the mars in gemini transit: do stream of consciousness writings, read more than you would normally, pay attention to what information you’re consuming so that you’re using this energy to your benefit rather than becoming scatterbrained, talk to yourself out loud if you’re finding it hard to wade through thoughts, keep your bag zipped up at all times, gossip a little but not too much;)

venus has moved into leo after time spent bathing in the warm waters of nostalgia minded cancer. venus sliding from one luminary to another gives us a sense of contrast… while the moon is shy and iridescent, the sun is central and loud. what has previously been kept in the subconscious’ shadow may now come into light. this is a time for bold romantic expression, playfulness in love and relationships, amplified creativity and dramatic affairs⭐️

what house is the venus in leo transit going through for you?

Venus has entered Taurus💌

After being in the sign of her detriment, Venus has finally come home to Taurus where she is more comfortable than ever. This transit encourages you to indulge your senses and literally stop and smell the flowers. Venus in taurus implores a slow, gentle approach to our day to day lives where we can meditate on the scent of the summer breeze and savour each bite of a meal. The lens through which we view the world is gleamed in “pure” beauty — pure in that it hones in on what around us is simple and natural. Going on walks, engaging with art, engaging with self care, writing, creating, buying or picking flowers, making home cooked meals, going on picnics and spending time in nature are all extra special during this time🌱

[celestialstatus]

Mars has returned home to fiery Aries❤️‍🔥

This transit may push you to the pursuit of action, alighting that sense of fire necessary to get the job done (whatever the “job” may be). Mars in Aries encourages us to follow the lead of our curiosity, skating through adventures insighted by intuition and fascination alone. We may find ourselves acting quicker than usual, as Mars nudges us to act fast on feeling, however, we need to keep in mind the consequences of said action and check ourselves before we go full swing. This is a wonderful time for spontaneity, embracing our animal side, strengthening our intuition and sparking new beginnings.

Dreamers of our Dreams

[celestialstatus]

It often feels like this sense of doom is crowded around mercury retrogrades, but I think these transits can be so healing. Let’s put an emphasis on the ‘RE’ in retrograde— REthink, REwind, REimagine, REflect, RElease. When our quick, inquisitive friend Mercury reverts backwards, we are granted with an opportunity to study the past and use it as material for growth. The ‘ex coming back’ narrative has some validity, but is it always a positive thing? past is past for a reason. If your ex does come back, maybe you can have a healing conversation that really allows you to release the past. Or you are reminded of why this person is no longer in your life. Mercury retrograde forces you to slow down and think everything thoroughly through. I’m not a huge fan of the mechanical ‘blips’ mercury rx can cause — like being cut off by more drivers than usual or spilling your coffee or whatever, but in a sense, those physical fuck ups can often feel like mercury reminding you to slow down. I liken planets going in retrograde to tarot cards coming up reversed— maybe the message feels more muddy, but the lesson is heavier in meaning. Favourite mercury retrograde activities include: journaling about the pasts influence the present, drunk calling the dreaded ex, rambling nonsense out loud more than usual, reading an old favourite book and writing down every scattered thought.

[celestialstatus]

the upcoming full moon eclipse in scorpio pushes you towards a transformation that has been looming under the surface. while eclipse energy can feel unsettling and, in my opinion, “twilight zone-y”, things will be much easier if you sink into the inevitable change incoming instead of trying to fight against it. do a releasing ritual if you feel called to, but i find that eclipses would rather have you sit still and allow them to catalyse the incoming transformation. sit and watch🌑

How the Jupiter in Aries transit will affect you based on your rising sign✨ (4/4)

10th house: (Cancer rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit is here to fuel your career related ambition and elevate your public presence. Perhaps you come closer to advancing in your desired field, or it may simply be about you reaching a decision about what world you want to work in in the future. You could come into the spotlight during this time and gain wider scaled public recognition for your talents and work. This could come in the form of your teachers/professors admiring your work amongst themselves, getting presented with an award of some kind or having your work be shown to the right person at the right time. You could have multiple employers actively pursuing you or more people becoming interested in your business and work. You may feel like your hard work is finally paying off and being recognised. You could gain validation from authority figures in your life at this time, and these people may morph into guiding pillars as you advance through your work.

11th house: (Gemini rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit may see an expanse in your social circles, friendships, community involvement and acquaintances. Perhaps your ability to mutate between circles is highlighted or you become more heavily involved with projects within your community. group activities and making associations could be key to fulfilling some long term goals of yours. maybe you find yourself networking and latch onto just the right person to help you progress with a long term plan, or you’re involvement with a local club/project leads you to some form of abundance. your mind may be focused on your dreams and aspirations for the long term— now is the time to outline a plan. You could be drawn to more alternative methods of thinking during this time, or adopt a uranian sense of curiosity, questioning the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of things. Reaching beyond your regular circle will serve you well during this time.

12th house: (Taurus rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit may have you expanding your definition of spirituality in proximity to the self. You may find yourself going inward, adopting a level of appreciation for the depth you hold. You may be more interested in spirituality and want to strengthen your connection to the Divine. This may be the time to buy a dream journal or sink into a meditative state— the symbols and ideas that float through your subconscious this time are likely to have psychic significance so take note. You could find an urge to volunteer or offer your charity to societally neglected groups/institutions during this time— maybe you spend time at a care home or develop a charitable relationship with a house-less person. This time may bring bountiful endings and the closing of cycles— wether that means fulfilling a long awaited dream or releasing a facet of the past in order to foster a new beginning. This is a wonderful time for healing, doing the inner work and letting yourself float up and away.

How the Jupiter in Aries transit will affect you based on your rising sign✨ (3/4)

7th house: (Libra rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit could expand relationships of all kinds. You may meet people during this time that will remain in your life for the long hall, wether it’s business associates, close friends or objects of long term romance. The relationships you form during this time can have a significant impact on your self-understanding. Partnerships can move to the next level, and that can mean many different things. For example, you could go into business with a long standing person in your life. Or you and your partner could move into together or get engaged/married. Signing contracts is favourable under this influence. Your taste in art and music may expand to previously uncharted territory, blowing up the size of your music library and inviting you to stumble across previously unknown art/artists. This is a lovely time for recognising the duality alive in every aspect of life and finding harmony in union.

8th house: (Virgo rising)

This transit may force you to acknowledge the depths of yourself you may ordinarily prefer to ignore or leave unacknowledged. Look into the deepest scars engraved into your being and run towards them— you’ll soon learn that there’s not such a huge discrepancy between darkness and light. Now is a time to embrace the metaphorical underworld. This transit could pull you to philosophise about the spiritual implication of death as well as sex. This is a favourable time to ask for things (loans, money, expenses) as other peoples resources will flow naturally towards you. Perhaps you gain a sizeable inheritance or miraculously save a bunch of money you were meant to pay towards a loan. You will be more open to exploring your sexuality and allowing any hidden desires to actualise which will ultimately strengthen your sense of self. Your interest in the occult could peak and you could inherit a tarot deck or other spiritual materials out of thin air. It feels like it all effortlessly flows towards you with a mere bat of the eyelids. This is a lovely time to nurture your inner darkness until it blooms into light.

9th house: (Leo rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit may grant you with a thirst for higher learning and the urge to expand your horizons. This could manifest literally, as you may be afforded a multitude of opportunities to travel long distances and explore foreign places that appear to be other worldly. Any trips you take at this time may feel spiritually impactful, and force you into introspection or simply provide you with a more ‘zoomed out’ perspective of the world that you’ll carry with you forever. Going some place else may provide you with an epiphany that becomes integral to your mode of being. This urge to expand your horizons could also come in the form of higher education— perhaps you’ve been thinking about applying for a course or returning to university— this transit is giving you a wink of encouragement. Your relationship to spirituality or religion may come into focus, perhaps you’ll gain a wider understanding of what religion/spirituality means to you or you’ll find yourself in those physical spaces. You may end up in a religious temple, curious to succumb to the rituals of others, or wind up in a chanting circle or spiritual bath-house. This is a wonderful time for (metaphorically) gazing upwards, following the trail of your curiosity when it comes to philosophy and abstract concepts which results in expanding the horizon of your mind.

How the Jupiter in Aries transit will affect you based on your rising sign✨ (2/4)

4th house: (Capricorn rising)

This transit affects your relationship to your roots, your sense of home and belonging. Perhaps you get the urge to re-vamp your space and take on extraneous home projects that will come to reflect your sense of self more accurately and strengthen your sense of belonging. Curiosity could peak about your past and your roots— maybe you get your DNA analysed to learn more about your lineage or spend time at your mum or grandmas house inquiring about their past lives and going through old family photos. You may find yourself analysing your past so as to understand it’s impact on your present. You could take on a more maternal role at this time, or crave maternal affection from any number of sources. This time gives you permission to embrace your inner domestic queen.

5th house: (Sagittarius rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit will put a spotlight on your romantic life, expanding all vessels of pleasure (art, love, creation). You could gain many suitors at this time and find yourself on a number of dates. While the fifth house is less promising of long term love and favours ‘fun’, all romantic adventures should strengthen your confidence and sense of self. You’re artistic abilities could expand, leading you to explore different artistic modes and styles— what was once stifled in expression is able to flow freely. Children could come into significance at this time, wether it’s having your own or feeling more connected to the children in your life. This is a time to embrace your inner child, the inquisitive artist that strives to create and love freely, with no concept of the meaning of ‘failure’, ‘wrong’, ‘rejection’ etc.

6th house: (Scorpio rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit may give you the fuel you require to succeed in your workplace. You could grow more comfortable and more capable when it comes to serving the needs of others— it could give you great satisfaction to pour an abundance of energy into your job and then leave it all behind as soon as your out of the door. You could receive a promotion or gain recognition in your line of work. Your health may come into focus at this time, and any areas of previous neglect will be focused on meticulously— taking care of yourself/self improvement tasks may be your most important job. You could get a new pet at this time or find yourself taking care of someone else’s— another equally satisfying endeavour under this transit. This is a time where day to day mundanities are suddenly gleamed in wonder and given great care.

[celestialstatus]

How Jupiter in Aries will affect you based on your rising sign✨ (1/4)

1st house: (Aries rising)

This jupiter in Aries transit will expand your sense of self. You may meditate on questions surrounding your sense of self, ‘who’ you really are and what makes up your identity. You may expand parts of yourself that have always been under the surface but never had the chance to be fully expressed. Your sense of autonomy and relationship to your body may come into focus, and you could find yourself paying more attention to what your body wants and needs. This period will see your intuition strengthen massively, your direct sense of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ will become louder and you’ll prove to yourself just how strong your instincts are. Perhaps you’ve held this idea of who you are inside but it’s external expression has been stifled, and now you find the perfect equilibrium of conveying your interior through your exterior being. It’s a time to shut out the outside noise and tune in to your interior compass. You’ll come to learn that all of the answers have and always will live inside of you. This is a lovely time of self exploration leading to a sharpened sense of identity.

2nd house: (Pisces rising)

This jupiter in Aries transit may grant you opportunities for monetary gain. You may be ‘handed’ (in one way or another) multiple avenues for financial success. Alternatively, it may be your self worth that expands under this transit, or increased self confidence and material gain go hand in hand. It’s possible that you are awoken to talents and skills you possess that you may have dismissed in the past. Maybe you’re a painter and you see no merit in all you create, you stash away your work and then one day a friend comes over, spots it, and then won’t shut up about how incredibly talented you are until you’re obliged to believe it. Being forced to recognise all you possess (literally and metaphorically) will ultimately welcome in more gains and abundance.

3rd house: (Aquarius rising)

This Jupiter in Aries transit has the power to expand many forms of communication for you. You may find you have the sudden urge to whizz through a stack of previously ignored books or feel inspired to write your own original pieces. Your relationship with your neighbors, siblings and cousins may strengthen at this time, and become more focal in your lives. You could adopt a new form of transportation like buying a car or bike. People may be more interested in what you have to say and you could find yourself taking command of a room with speech. This is a lovely time for local exploration (literally and metaphorically) and the flow of thoughts and ideas.

[celestialstatus]

today, our lucky friend Jupiter makes the leap from daze-ful pisces to fiery aries. the transition from pisces to aries is the transition from an illusive dream-state to the immediate presence, from ancient soul to curious infant, from dreaming to actualising. Jupiter being a generous planet of expansion and ‘luck’ moving into the charged warrior sign of aries signifies a sense of resurgence when it comes to our will, what motivates us, what fuels our desires. aries is insistent on action and movement, while pisces prefers to remain still in a dreamy state of longing and wondering. The move from pisces to aries encourages us to charge our aspirations into actions. the house the Jupiter in aries is transitting will give you more insight as to what area of life will be expanded through this time lasting from 10/05 to 29/10 until it re-enters Aries on 21/12.
