The Sun – Jupiter get together in any sign is celebratory. This one feels powerful as Aries is the Sun’s sign of exaltation and Jupiter is a big fiery planet, ruling Sagittarius, but generally happy in the fire signs. Look out for the Aries themes of fresh starts and firsts, and add in the list of subjects ruled by Jupiter, traditionally known as the Greater Benefic.
So Libra is the sign of relationships, with both small r and big R, and this lunation swings the spotlight onto our love lives and own concerns, but also onto issues for those closest to us. Keep a close eye on anyone close to you who is going through wounding experiences in any sense and also keep your focus on healing, physical or emotional.
Anything linked to Jupiter’s concerns gets a huge tick – foreign travel, learning, legal matters or anything that will ultimately make your life bigger and better. In your relationships focus on giving and generosity, it will bounce back to you tenfold. Jupiter’s top principle is expansion, whether it’s your mind or your social circle or creating a better future.
