This is something I wanted to share with my audience. Right now, I find myself in a particular situation, one so familiar. Last week, I had $19 to my name, I was falling behind on bills, and I hadn’t had a full time job since July. I’m in danger of loosing everything, and it caused me to go into deep contemplation. I’ve been praying, meditating, and asking the Gods and Goddesses for guidance and answers.

I woke up to the fact that this is something that keeps repeating. I just went through this, well, it was almost 12 years ago now, but it seems like yesterday. And I just said to myself, “What the hell, my 40s are a repeat of my 20s.”

During my equinox ceremony, I turned over the top 4 cards off of a regular 52-card deck. The deck was shuffled well, so I was shocked to see that I drew 3 10s and a 4. I was so shocked that I drew 3 10s, that I didn’t even realize October 4th was coming up soon.

While I was asleep on the 4th of October, I had a dream, and I heard a voice say, “Jupiter Cycle.” I woke up immediately, wrote down Jupiter Cycle, and I went back to sleep. When I woke up it was around 7:30 AM, and it was October 4th.

Here’s what came to me that day.

Jupiter’s orbital cycle is roughly 12 years, that means Jupiter spends approximately 1 year in each zodiac sign. So, I started with my birth date, and I worked all the way up to 2024 charting Jupiter’s transit through the signs.

Right now, or that day, Jupiter was on the 14th degree of Taurus. In my birth chart, Jupiter is on the 7th degree of Virgo. The target area, or the area in focus that seemed to bring the most problems for me was when Jupiter passes through Aries and Taurus. Interestingly enough, Aries and Taurus are at the top of my chart. My MC, or midheaven is on the 17th degree Aries, and my 10th house is from that degree to the 24th degree of Taurus.

My placements in that area are Eris (Goddess of Strife and Discord) on the 15th degree of Aries, Ceres (Goddess of Sacred Law, Fertility, and Grain) on the 19th degree of Aries, and then Sedna on the 5th degree, Chiron on the 9th degree, and Vesta on the 10th degree all in Taurus.

Jupiter’s transit through this area, Aries and Taurus, began in 1987 for me. I began 2nd grade in September of that year, and one morning after my mother dropped me off at school, I was punched in my temple by a 7th grader. A very traumatic experience indeed, and Jupiter was in Aries at that time. In 1988, when Jupiter was in Taurus, we moved to a nicer neighborhood in a new town and changed schools. So, this is where it all began, and we can see the beginnings of cause and effect. Something happens and a response follows.

Next was 1999 and 2000. I just finished my first year of college in 1999, but in January of 2000, when Jupiter was in Taurus, I was in a horrific car accident. I was unconscious and needed to be cut out of my car. The people who saved me don’t even understand how I survived. That’s when my addiction to pain medication began.

Next was 2011 and 2012. In 2011, when Jupiter was in Aries, my girlfriend cheated on me, I moved out of her house, I was on unemployment, I claimed bankruptcy, lost all my money, and my vehicle was repossessed. In 2012, when Jupiter was in Taurus, I moved to Pennsylvania and began taking a bus to work.

The current transit is now, 2023 and 2024, and it’s starting all over again.

The first thing I want to say about this was that I asked to be shown what was going on, and I was. I didn’t realize this current period of strife actually took root when I was 7 years old, and unbeknownst to me, I’ve been stuck in this Jupiter cycle for my entire life.

The second thing is that we can no longer underestimate the position of Eris in our birth charts. Eris, the Goddess of discord and strife is quite powerful and he placement is definitely an indicator of possible hard times. Eris has an orbital period of 559 years.

The third thing is that because of my placements in Taurus in the 10th house, Chiron, Vesta, and Sedna, I can see that there’s definitely some type of healing that needs to take place. The 10th house deals with our careers and our reputations and standing with the public. So, the healing has to do with the shadow self and the inner child.

How people see me? That’s a 10th House issue, and one of my Chiron wounds involves the healing of that child, me! That scared little 2nd grader, only 7 years old, who was violently punched in the side of the head by a much older boy in front of all his classmates.

Jupiter is supposed to be the God of abundance, good fortune, and prosperity, and I thought for sure when he got to Taurus, the sign ruling the 2nd house of money and possessions, who would bring tons of money and possessions during that time, but he hasn’t. Jupiter’s transit through Aries and Taurus breaks me down to nothing and takes everything from me and he has been doing that sine 1987!

So, where do I go from here? I guess I’m supposed to heal before I start accumulating money. So, that’s where I’ll begin.

One thing I’m really happy about is that I was finally able to identify this cycle because even though Jupiter is in Virgo in my birth chart, his cycle as it corresponds to events taking place in my life, actually begins when he gets to Aries. Now that I’ve identified rock bottom, there’s only one way to go. Up!

How ironic is this. In the recent Moon Scope articles, I’ve been talking about this amazing fresh start we’re all in for, and I found mine.
