Subject: Jupiter in Taurus • Your Weekly Astrology Forecast!

Dear Stargazers,


With the exception of possible disruptions on Tuesday, the overall tone of the week is a positive one, and when Friday rolls around, it kicks off a chain of influences that bode well for a happy weekend. Just before it ends, Mercury stations direct!


Scroll on down for all the details, plus a preview of what Jupiter in Taurus is likely to mean for you - there's more to come about this important cycle in next week's newsletter!

ASTROLOGY FORECAST
MAY 8 - 14, 2023
All dates and times are given in EDT.


Monday, May 8. The day starts off on a positive note thanks to some cheerful energy from the transiting Sagittarius Moon, and you can expect this social, lighthearted influence to continue through most of the day. The only caveat is that if there is something on you to-do list that requires a concrete result, you do best to avoid taking action from 4:29 PM - 7:34 PM because the Moon will be void until it enters Capricorn.


Tuesday, May 9. Today's Sun-Uranus conjunction is likely to coincide with some kind of an interruption, surprising news or an unexpected event. Whether you respond with happy excitement or a bad case of rattled nerves will depend on if it's welcome news. Fortunately, the transiting Moon in Capricorn adds a backdrop of stability, and its positive connections to Saturn and Mercury will help you keep your wits about you and think on your feet.


Wednesday, May 10. If yesterday's energy threw you off course, today's influences will help you regain your footing. The overall influences today are favorable, and with a little self-motivation you could easily make up for any lost ground. Depending on your time zone, the void moon from 7:53 PM - 10:07 PM EST will give you time to catch your breath or ease into a good night's sleep.


Thursday, May 11. The transiting Moon in Aquarius favors group associations, which makes this a good day to seek out (or participate in) a professional or community groups with like-minded individuals. When it comes to your personal relationships, you're likely to prefer to keep things casual today, while more independent types may find they prefer their own company.


Friday, May 12. The potential for a romantic, financial or professional opportunity is strong today thanks to a helpful connection from Mercury to Venus and Saturn. With the transiting Moon in Aquarius all day, such opportunities could arise from a friendly introduction or a casual encounter.


Eclipse Trigger. From May 12 - 17, transiting Jupiter will be at 29° Aries, which means it will trigger (reactivate) the April 20 eclipse point and could coincide with an eclipse-related event. However, since Mercury will be retrograde from May 12 - May 14 and remains at the stationary degree until May 18, we'll have to wait and see if its influence affects the trigger.


Saturday, May 13. The transiting Moon in Pisces at 12:40 AM ushers in a gentle, compassionate and peaceful energy, but it's the true-blue relationship between Venus and Saturn that will make this the best day of the week for many of you. When Venus and Saturn are devoted to each other, relationships (of all types) usually flourish because both parties are ready to make a deeper commitment. Financially speaking, this Venus-Saturn trine favors long-term savings and investment plans.


Sunday, May 14. The week closes on a lovely note as the enchanting Pisces Moon charms Uranus, the Sun, Mars and Neptune to promote a continuous flow of positive energy throughout the day. For those who celebrate Mother's Day, this sentimental Moon could inspire a heightened sense of gratitude, and for those who are missing their Mom, perhaps a few tears. At 11:12 PM, Mercury stations direct. On May 31, it will emerge from the shadow and be back up to speed.

TRANSITING JUPITER IN TAURUS

May 16, 2023 - May 25, 2024

On May 16, Jupiter enters the Taurus, where it will focus its influence on second house matters, such as financial assets and tangible goods.


Since Jupiter is the planet of generosity, abundance and growth, you can expect it to bestow extensive financial blessings as it moves through the sign that rules money.


And as long as you have reasonable expectations about your share of its bounty, you won't be disappointed.


First and foremost, while Jupiter is in Taurus, the rich will get richer.


That's not to say that there won't be any benefit for the rest of us. While Jupiter is here, you can expect opportunities to increase your earnings and shore up your savings account. For some, it will be a salary increase as result of earning a promotion, changing your employer or taking on a second (or third) job.


Generally speaking, how an influence will play out in your life depends upon your present circumstances, so how your wallet experiences this cycle will depend to some extent on your current state of financial health.


It's also important to remember that the second house isn't just about accumulating money. It's also about spending it, while Jupiter is in Taurus it's a safe bet that everyone will be spending more because of inflation and rising interest rates.


That's already the case across the globe, and with Jupiter (inflation) in Taurus (tangible goods), we can expect this trend to continue. Everyone will pay more, but it will be one's personal finances that will decide if (and how much) it hurts.


Financial Extravagance


Jupiter's generosity is legendary, but so is its extravagance. If you routinely blow the monthly budget, seek our retail therapy when you're feeling down, buy things you never use and/or have difficulty living within your means, this cycle could seriously put you in the red.


And if you're someone who enjoys collecting things but not parting with any of them, be aware that Jupiter in Taurus can promote hoarding.


Financial Abundance


While Jupiter is here some of you could find yourself in a position to make a big ticket purchase, treat yourself to a luxury item or make a down-payment on a home. (Real property dwells in the 4th house but the cash deposit lives in the 2nd).


On a similar note, those of you who have money to invest will have an opportunity to increase your net worth by investing in financial products that are offering higher interest rates.


Getting Personal


So which life areas are being targeted for expansion, growth or excess in your life? They're revealed by the house Jupiter in Taurus will be visiting in your horoscope.


If you don't know where transiting Jupiter is in your chart, you can refer to the list below to find out which house it's visiting according to your rising sign (if you know it). If you don't know your rising sign, then refer to the list below according to your solar (sun-sign based) horoscope.


If your Sun sign is:


Aries, Jupiter is in your 2nd house (income, spending, personal values, self-esteem, tangible assets).

Taurus, Jupiter is in your 1st house (your physical body, attitude towards life).

Gemini, Jupiter is in your 12th house (spirituality, creativity, mental health, addictions).

Cancer, Jupiter is in your 11th house (groups, associations, hopes, casual friends, colleagues).
