Love Letters From Jupiter in Taurus
Love Letters From Jupiter in Taurus
May 16, 2023 – May 25, 2024
When Jupiter changes signs, we feel it. It’s a yearlong transit that lights up a new set of topics in the natal chart. In Taurus, a verdant and fecund sign, there’s an emphasis on resources, inner and outer. The longing to feed and be fed, to feel flush and comfortable, grows even larger with Jupiter’s influence.
Paying homage to Venus, Jupiter will find truth in solid pleasures and revel in the beauty that pulsates through an animate universe. And when we become inebriated from the bounty of the season, Zeus will lavishly offer pragmatic, earthy tools to replenish the horn of plenty.
Uranus, copresent in Taurus, will continue to be an influence that rocks our world, growing more vibrant as Jupiter conjoins Uranus in April 2024. Tasering the slightest hints of dogma into oblivion, expect eureka moments that prevent Jupiter from being lulled to sleep by Aphrodite’s comfortable abode. Given Jupiter’s functional whole sign sextile to Saturn in Pisces, hard work meets creative solutions that can coax even an intractable Bull.
So, what will Jupiter’s new fixed, earthy digs mean for you? We offer these playful, succulent Bites based on your Rising Sign.
To fully understand how this transit may affect you, you’ll need to consider the aspects Jupiter makes to other points and planets in your natal chart, planets ruled by Jupiter, whether you are a day or night chart, plus addition of resonate timing techniques. You can also look back to June 2011-2012 for more thematic information. If you need an assist, AO is offering a special 40-minute Jupiter in Taurus reading, for €50/$55.
You special, miraculous, unrepeatable, fragile, fearful, tender, lost, sparkling ruby emerald jewel, rainbow splendor person. It's up to you. - Joan Baez
Dear Aries Rising,
The corn is as high as the elephant’s eye in the land of good and plenty. Plump in the second house of value, worth, possessions, money, and self-sufficiency, I offer visions of prosperity. And though I am a Sky God, don’t expect pennies from heaven. Grab your shovel. Sharpen your pruners. Hard work brings the blessings of security, even as tectonic plates shift beneath your feet. Wealth grows when you root yourself in the economy of beauty, connection, and acting in accordance with your highest values.
In the highest,
Jupiter (AKA Zeus)
Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase. - Martin Luther King
Dear Taurus Rising,
I know you’re most comfortable when you put one hoof in front of the other. Slow and steady. Tortoise wins the race. But I’m here to tell you that I have the robust, lusty confidence of a young bull right now. Traversing your first house, in service to your domicile lord, Venus, I’m raring to provide you the benefits of vigor, strength, and self-confidence. Attracting bees to honey. But don’t get ahead of yourself. Take care of your body. Become a shapeshifter. Try new things that liberate your fixed ways, even if it doesn’t always make sense. But be mindful. When love overflows in all directions, hubris and over-indulgence follow.
Love,
Your devoted friend Juppy
I am rooted, but I flow. - Virginia Woolf, Orlando
Dear Gemini Rising,
I’m doing my best to move at top speed. It’s my thing. And I know your curious mind loves to be entertained. But even I feel the inertia of a twelfth house transit. The idea of a bed made of flower petals turns me on right now. Try it. There are untold riches available as you work to balance your dual nature. Let your altruism grow like a fertile garden, but find time to be one with the Earth, too. Who knows what you’ll dig up?
Your Guardian Angel,
Zeus
The stars are matter, we're matter, but it doesn't matter. - Captain Beefheart
Dear Cancer Rising,
As perfectly round as your charming lunar face are the pennies from heaven that I’m about to let rain down in your eleventh Place of Good Spirit. It is there that I rejoice as I endeavor to let your sweetest hopes and dreams come true. Gently whisper your three wishes, and then three times three more, because my love and generosity for you know no bounds. In Taurus, I adore you, oh Luna! Allow me to multiply your friends by the dozen. Support is likely to come in many different shapes and sizes. Opportunities abound! All I desire is for you to enjoy them like wildflowers and savor a fresh new spring.
Your loving friend,
Jup-Jup
Mediocrity is my biggest fear. I'm not afraid of total failure because I don't think that will happen. I'm not afraid of success because that beats the hell out of failure. It's being in the middle that scares me. - Robert Downey, Jr.
Dear Leo Rising,
On my arrival in your tenth house, where the public eye will capture my jovial presence, I will be wearing large purple sunglasses as my eyes need protection from your exquisite radiance. I’m here to channel your kingly light so the world can enjoy it. My task is to illuminate the stage where you so naturally belong. Behold, your unique creative power will finally be recognized for its superb brilliance! Hordes of fans will appear like mushrooms in the cornucopian soil left behind by hoof print after hoof print. Place your trust in me, and none of your rays will shine in vain.
Your most loyal fan,
Jupiter
It’s easy to stay grounded. The ground is very close. And we walk on it every day.” – Keanu Reeves
Dear Virgo Rising,
Proper analysis is cool. I prefer more lofty things like faith, trust, and a set of ethics I can live by. Perhaps, in your ninth house of diversity, culture, meaning-making, and pilgrimage, you’ll allow me to help you reach for the sky even as your feet plant firmly on the ground. New horizons await those who are willing to shake things up. Who are you, traveler? Invest in educational and spiritual paths that provide you more freedom than you could have ever calculated. Let yourself be surprised as your life force burrows toward new understandings.
Forever yours,
Zeus
Try as I might, I could not look at an overhead projection of a growth profit matrix and stay conscious. - Boris Johnson
Dear Libra Rising,
I know you love to bite your gleaming pearly whites into the fruits of your partner’s hard work. However, my greatest wish is for you to graciously fork out the abundance I’m about to bestow upon your eight house of shared resources. As you well know, child of benevolent Aphrodite, it’s more virtuous to give or yield something than to receive something. Your altruistic gestures will be gladly reciprocated! Let the power of gratitude take root within you and bring forth a robust tree of magnanimity.
Love,
Zeusie
But I think happiness springs from another source, a far deeper one that doesn't depend on will because it comes from love. - Henryk Sienkiewicz
Dear Scorpio Rising,
Hide in your dark dwelling as you wish, but know that people will find you. Let my warmth in your 7th house of relationships convince you to take strategic advantage of inviting more affluent people into your social circle. Yes, I stand in direct opposition to you, not to taunt you, but to facetiously stimulate you. What I offer is healthy competition, and, dare I say, I’m a worthy adversary. Behold your shapeshifting enemy, and see me make great gestures, alas in vain, in an attempt to deceive your sublime instincts. We both like games and risks, and here in Taurus, we do it on a proliferating foundation. Take on the challenge, and play the game so that we may both laugh, love, and learn!
Ready for battle,
The Zeus
P.S. I promise I won’t get you (too) drunk this time, and we’ll limit ourselves to mid-stakes (yeah, right, haha!)
Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine. - Bruce Lee
Dear Sagittarius Rising,
Good news! Open the sixth house door for me and let my holistic healing vibes saturate your awareness. Revealing the spiritual symbolism of your symptoms, I’ll help you understand what’s lurking at the root of your wounds. Your deep faith in me is vital! Sacrifice time for silent meditation, smell a flower every morning and consistently follow my newest herbal protocol. Trust that I can make whole whatever is broken, and before you know it, you’ll fall in love with your beautiful body once again.
Be well,
Dr. J.P. Ter
I would like to be Jupiter, and lie down in the firmament and make love to everybody. - Roberto Benigni
Dear Capricorn Rising,
I know, I know, it will take time for you to adapt to my presence in your fifth house guest room, where I’m about to clear the accumulated dust from your vulnerable romantic spot. I’ll let your sexy goatee grow into a wildly aphrodisiacal magnet. One hoof print at a time, firmly planted in voluptuous Venusian soil, petite sprouts of spontaneity and accidental fun will find the light. Rest assured that you’ll have plenty to work on because the limits of your creative horizon are about to discover infinity.
Artisanal hand-blown kiss,
Your Bye-bye-blues Zeus
It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane. - Philip K. Dick, Valis
Dear Aquarius Rising,
Come back to Earth, dear one. Ideological apparitions of the mind long for deep roots in the fourth house of home and family. Cloaked as hoofed sprites and flower fairies in this subterranean place, you’ll have to pay close attention to receive my blessings. In the spirit of shared responsibility, thatched roofs and mud floors keep things real. Together let’s dream of a future that welcomes the outcast in all of us. My ruler Venus demands it. Even the most fixed among you are moved to change when lightning strikes.
In Solidarity,
Zeus on the Loose
I don’t ask for much, I only want your trust, and you know it don’t come easy. - Ringo Starr
Dear Pisces Rising,
I’ve made this mandala for you. Sprinkled with fiddlehead ferns, apple blossoms, and copper pennies, enter with the sacredness you are. Holding space in the third house of ceremony, story, communication, and your near environment, how you show up in the world is important. Step slowly. Trust. Let love guide your every decision. Life is a robust temple when you stop to smell the roses. Here, here is a bouquet just for you. Whisper sweet nothings and sweeter everythings to the story that makes you whole. Like a mandala.
In Fullness,
Your Prince
Love this!
