Jupiter in Pisces Transit: Abundant Blessings or Collective Insanity?
This highly anticipated transit of the greater benefic Jupiter into Pisces has been richly discussed within the astrological community over the past few months. It is happening on December 28, just before we step into 2022.
Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, optimism, and abundance. It is associated with the principles of growth, expansion, prosperity, public recognition, and fortunate circumstances. Jupiter rules over long distance foreign travel, wealth, higher education, judicial system, and religion. It is the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter takes around 1 year to travel through each sign, so it takes about 12 years to complete its full cycle.
Jupiter is the ruler of adventurous, fiery Sagittarius and co-ruler of dreamy Pisces, so its shift into its home sign of Pisces is a big deal.
Jupiter in Pisces is all about spiritual realm, overflowing creativity, unwavering faith and high hopes for the future. It is devoted to the well-being and spiritual healing of humanity.
The shadow side of this placement is over optimism, tendency to escape harsh reality through unhealthy avenues, such as drugs and alcohol abuse, unrealistic expectations and overreliance on miracle solutions. Religious righteousness and idealistic view of the world, triggered by this ingression, can lead to ideological conflicts and intolerance.
Brief Glimpse of Hope
We had a taste of Jupiter in Pisces from mid-May till late July 2021. There was a glimpse of hope then that the pandemic was finally over. Many countries started opening up their borders and lifting restrictions. We started to believe that getting back to normal was, at last, within our grasp.
Alas, it later turned out this was not the case. Our hopes of the future without pandemic were unceremoniously crushed when Jupiter ingressed back into Aquarius.
It got significantly worse around the time of the final Saturn – Uranus square of 2021 on Christmas Eve.
Finally Breaking free from Saturn…
We had Saturn co-present with Jupiter throughout Capricorn and then Aquarius. It’s been quite a while since Jupiter has been free of Saturn, holding it down, restraining and controlling its expansive nature.
We can all rejoice now – it’s finally breaking free from harsh Saturnian influences, as it leaves Aquarius for good.
Jupiter is hopeful, optimistic and expansive. It doesn’t vibe too well with restrictive, somber Saturn. Don’t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for Saturn. He is the ruler of the 3D world. Saturn is teaching us the hard work, overcoming obstacles and road blocks; developing resilience, required to keep going no matter how tough things get along the way. However, it has the tendency to hold down and restrict positive, optimistic influences of planets and planetary aspects when it comes in close contact with them. There is always a delay when it comes to Saturn. Very often, it leads to frustration and anger, which in turn can cause unnecessary tensions.
Who Will Jupiter in Pisces Transit Affect the Most?
It is vital to understand that ‘popular‘ astrology, which relies mainly on Sun signs, can’t provide a full spectrum of information for interpreting celestial events. It’s crucial to check where this transit falls in your uniquely designed Birth Chart. The house and any personal planets activated by this transit will play a significant role in your personal and professional life.
Generally speaking, water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) and earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) signs will receive the biggest blessings of this bountiful ingression. If you have your Sun, Moon, Ascendant or any other personal planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) in water or earth signs, you can expect a surge of good luck and abundance promised by this transit. Use this time wisely! Remember, Jupiter is a social, masculine planet. It requires taking inspired action to activate the blessings it is ushering in.
Be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture and see which houses are being activated in your Birth Chart by this transit. Very often, your Ascendant (or Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.

02 March 2022 – New Moon in Pisces conjuncts Jupiter in Pisces
12 April 2022 – exact Jupiter – Neptune conjunction
30 April 2022 – Venus conjuncts Jupiter around the time of Solar Eclipse in Taurus.
Venus is the ruler of this Eclipse. This Solar Eclipse is happening next to the planet of breakthroughs Uranus, which is a powerful yet totally unpredictable influence. Jupiter – Venus conjunction is also in close proximity to Neptune.
This energy is just lovely. Heightened fertility, forgotten dreams are coming true. The only issue with this magical alignment is the totally unpredictable nature of Eclipse, especially when Uranus is involved. Some astrologers believe in the negative nature of Eclipses and would argue that it can unfortunately disrupt what would have been totally wonderful otherwise. We shall wait and see on this one…
Jupiter – Neptune Conjunction: Abundant Blessings or Collective Insanity?
Jupiter – Neptune conjunction in Pisces is one of the most prominent planetary alignments of 2022. Exact conjunction is happening on April 12.
It is a major activation of Piscean energy on the collective level. It will be very watery for sure. This conjunction is bringing us some much needed emotional release and catharsis after the collective trauma we’ve endured over the past couple of years.
There will be a lot of tears. Allow yourself to grieve and properly heal any past wounds that might flare up at this time. This energy is initiating major spiritual healing. Unlike Pluto, who comes and unceremoniously destroys the old to clear up the space for the new, Jupiter – Neptune combo is all about compassion, forgiveness and universal love.
The downside of this alignment is a possible expansion of delusional, unrealistic hopes. We might develop a tendency to see the world through rose-colored glasses both on individual and collective level. The deep-seated need to search for greater truth and meaning will come to the surface.
Fake news, major deception in the media, distortion of reality might take the centre stage at this time.
Its physical manifestation can cause major floodings or other natural disasters connected with water.

Economy

It is worth noting that Neptune is connected with viruses, so hopefully it will not manifest into yet another major outbreak of the pandemic.
