Jupiter Trine Saturn – Profits Going Up and Stronger Values |
January 14 through January 28, 2008
Jupiter is the planet of good-luck, optimism, and expansion, and Saturn brings us discipline, family, and tradition. Trines are very positive in astrology, and aspects between Jupiter and Saturn usually last more than a year. Children born over the next two years may be somewhat materialistic. And, there may be problems with motivation, because they will usually find the easy way out. But, they will be trustworthy, and they will have strong family values.
The last time Jupiter and Saturn were trine was October 93 through September 94. The trine of 93/94 had three peaks occur where they were exactly 120 degrees apart. The first time was on October 12, 1993, and 3 days later on October 15, Nelson Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The second peak was on April 28, 1994. Richard Nixon died on April 23. And, the third peak was on August 28, 1994, the same day that Tiger Woods (at age 18) won the US Golf Amateur Championship. Jupiter and Saturn won’t be trine again until 2013.
Our present Jupiter and Saturn trine will continue through 2008, with 4 peaks. Today we will be looking at the second peak of this aspect, but I will return in August to discuss the third. Because we are looking at outer planets, we will find that they affect us more at a community level. Where this aspect is occurring in your transit chart will determine how it will affect you personally. Jupiter and Saturn will bring stronger family values to the forefront, just in time for the presidential elections here in the US. Jupiter is presently in transit in Sagittarius, and Saturn in Leo, fire signs. We may find our enthusiasm is tempered, but we will be looking for wise and just solutions for our communities. There could be a return to traditional religion, and we should see profits going up again. Jupiter will bring optimism, and Saturn will bring discipline, a very good combination. Jupiter in Sagittarius will want adventure, and Saturn in Leo will want to hold still. So, any corporate or government ventures will probably grow steadily, because they will exercise caution in the process.
Our second wave of the Jupiter-Saturn trine begins on January 14 and peaks on January 21. The only planet that will have any interaction with this aspect is the Moon, so unlike last time, this aspect will probably affect us much more on the governmental and corporate level. Profits should be steady and successful, and corporations will have farseeing visions. It would be a great time for long-term planning. Enthusiasm may be a bit more tempered, but in general people will be more trustworthy around this time.
Jupiter will range from 6 degrees to 9 degrees Capricorn, and Saturn in retrograde will travel from 8 to 7 degrees in Virgo. If you have any planets between 4 and 11 degrees in Pisces ,Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aries or Cancer, this aspect could be difficult. Earth signs and anyone with strong Saturn or Jupiter in their natal charts may find this aspect to be quite a blessing. If you would like more details on how Jupiter and Saturn will affect you personally, you can order a transit report.
