Curiosity, Sociability and Increase – a Peek at This Week

“Throughout time Jupiter has been associated with the principle of ‘divine preservation’ and ‘bountiful increase’, being known as the greater fortune planet…It has been long regarded as the patron of philosophers, theologians, moral leaders and crusaders and speculative thinkers of all kinds.” Stephen Arroyo

“The sign of Gemini is called the butterfly of the zodiac for he flits from one situation to another in order to gain growth through many varied experiences. It is the most versatile and adaptable of signs.” Isabel Hickey

This morning I was reading a piece by  the astrologer Steven Forrest. He wrote that when Jupiter is a strong influence in a chart by transit, “the toast always lands butter side up.” Jupiter has long been regarded as the  planet of good luck and good fortune and brings increase to whatever it touches.

Jupiter is a strong force in the sky this week, leaving his transit through the sign of Taurus and entering the sign of Gemini for a approximately a year long stay.

This ushers in  a busy week – with change and opportunity in the air.

The Sun and Venus also enter Gemini this week- the Sun on Monday the 20th and Venus on the 23rd. Gemini is a mutable sign, curious, mind-oriented and open to new ideas and alternate ways of thinking.  This transit, for a month or so, is a good time to gather information and consider new ideas and options that may not have been visible before.

Venus in Gemini brings a good time for socializing. It brings curiosity to the social and romantic spheres. People can be more outgoing, friendly, optimistic and communicative due to this  planet’s influence.

There is an objectivity to the sign of Gemini that can be very beneficial at this time.
