Jupiter enters Taurus starting 5/16/2023 – 5/25/2024. Jupiter will station to retrograde at 15 Taurus on September 4, 2023, and go station to direct on December 30, 2023.
The planet Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is considered to be the great benefactor offering abundance and growth. Jupiter enjoys providing lucky opportunities when well placed in a natal chart or making auspicious aspects by transit. Every twelve years you experience a Jupiter return; this is when the planet returns to the exact degree of Jupiter in your birth chart. I have provided at the end of this page a list of dates when Jupiter was in Taurus so that you can check to see if you are lucky enough to be having your Jupiter return!
On May 16, 2023, Jupiter will move into earthy and pleasure-seeking Taurus until May 25, 2024. Taurus is ruled by the goddess of love and beauty. Taurus is associated with materialism, wealth, sensual pleasures, and the desire for comfort and stability. When Jupiter transits the zodiac sign of Taurus we know that the transit will focus on the acquisition and expansion of wealth and resources, an interest in financial stability, and expanding career opportunities. Taurus a fixed earth sign is known to be resistant to change, inflexible, and very stubborn. Taurus also can be overindulgent, lazy, and materialistic. This transit works best when we enjoy simple pleasures, are grounded and practical about material concerns, and find a balance between work and pleasure.
While Jupiter is in Taurus it is a good time to invest in increasing your financial stability and security sensibly and conservatively. This is an excellent time to invest in yourself. Take a business or economics class. Start a savings account, create a business plan, and plan for your financial future. This transit succeeds with hard work and moderation. Avoid “get-rich schemes” and too-good-to-be-true business offers.
Jupiter’s shift into Taurus will bring good fortune for Earth signs ( Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and Water signs ( Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)!
