Jupiter in Libra: Inner and Outer Expansion

Jupiter has an expansive effect on us. In my chart, Jupiter is transiting Libra at 0° Lib 02′ and is beginning a journey that will last for approximately one year. The struggle of the last few years will give way to positive and productive opportunities bolstered by expansive and abundant energy. The material side of life should also improve with this year-long transit. And given the Libran influence a balanced approach will be taken.

Jupiter energies are wonderful for a positive self-image. With Jupiter transiting in the First House, influences surround self and our environment and energizes us to explore new ideas and projects. Jupiter encourages us to reach for all that we thought wasn’t possible, giving us the energy to become more. The wisdom and balance of Libra’s influence will help to keep us on track.

Astrologers everywhere are writing about Jupiter entering Libra. It takes approximately twelve years for Jupiter to come back around and it spends around a year in each house. When we think about expansion, it typically brings to mind something outside of us. But what if the expansion required is an inner one? Perhaps along with new ideas and projects that may bring us material gain, there is some inner work that can benefit by Jupiter’s expansive energies.

A shift occurred at the end of December, 2012. Some folks thought the Mayans were predicting the end of the world, but it was only an end to that particular calendar and it signified the end of an age, not the world itself. Humanity is moving into a more enlightened, aware state of mind, collective in nature, so if some don’t move in that direction, the rest will provide the impetus for them. A tipping point has been reached and there’s no going back to the old energy. Enlightenment is upon us and Jupiter’s expansive influence for the next year will help further this process.

The inner awakening that people are experiencing is happening all over the Earth. It’s on its own timetable and will happen irrespective of anyone who seeks to remain apart from its effects. We’re beginning to remember that we’re Source Energy, the driving force behind the bodies we inhabit. Many are experiencing a sense of unity or oneness with others, that we’re more than these separate bodies we appear to inhabit. And it’s this inner focus, this inner sense of things, that will propel us forward in creating a loving world that supports and sustains all of us.

It’s the work we do in alignment with our Source Presence that is felt by others, motivating them to do the same. We need to engage with others in a loving manner and leave behind the animosity that seems to coat everything now. Jupiter in Libra brings us not only the energies of expansion, but also balance, fairness, and integrity. Add to that the loving energy from Libra’s Venusian influence and it’s easy to see how positive changes are in store.

From a numerology perspective, Sep 9, 2016 results in 9, 9, 2016. Reduced further and we have 9, 9, 9. And no, it’s not a reference to that guy who ran for President in 2012. Instead, we have a triplicity at work. If we add the three nines together we get 27, which when added together gives us 9. So we’re back to the 9 influence again.

Nines are about completion, so three of them really lets us know that either we’re about to begin a new phase, or we really need to complete one. But in this case, I think the three 9’s suggest that we’re about to enter are new phase where we may in fact come to terms with old, disparate issues that have long plagued us. It also may indicate that we’re beginning a completely new path that will expand on earlier work or into something different. Either way, we’re going to feel compelled to become more than we were.

Or perhaps it’s that we simply remember who we are and then make the most of that awareness. Either way, Jupiter’s influence in Libra should make the next year an interesting one.

Blessings to all!
