Jupiter – Neptune Conjunction: Old Dream or New Reality?

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 few 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, which comes in and unceremoniously destroys the old to clear up the space for the new, Jupiter – Neptune combo is all about compassion, forgiveness and universal love.

This conjunction, however, has its own shadow side.

In my previous article on Jupiter’s ingression into Pisces I’ve asked the rhetorical question: will it manifest as abundant blessings or collective insanity?

I will not be drawing any specific conclusions here… Just think about how it has materialised in your world so far…

Introduction to Jupiter

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.

Brief Introduction to Neptune

Neptune is theplanet of ideals, intuition, spirituality, psychic powers, compassion and unconditional love. It is the domain of dreams and illusions.

It dissolves boundaries and connects us to the source.

Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. It brings the beauty to a higher, more spiritual level.

Neptune rules dreamy Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac.

Neptune rules the ocean. It governs rain, fog, and liquids of all kinds, including alcohol.

It also rules drugs and other unhealthy means of escapism.

Neptune is known as the Lord of Illusions. It makes us want to escape mundane, boring everyday reality to enter a dreamy, heavenly state.

Neptune is closely connected with self-deception and makes us view the world through rose-coloured glasses.

It can cause a lot of problems if badly aspected in one’s chart.

The most productive way to deal with its shadow side is through healthy means of escapism.  Creativity, music, films are all ruled by Neptune.

Since Neptune ingressed into Pisces back in 2011 there has been an increasing wave of interest in all things magical and mystical (astrology, tarot, reiki, etc).

There has been also an explosion of weird conspiracy theories and misinformation which resonates with Neptune’s shadow side.

Jupiter – Neptune Conjunction: What to expect?

The Arts

A major surge in projects in music and film industry is highly anticipated. Maybe we will have some new ground-breaking reality TV shows?

The last Jupiter – Neptune conjunction launched the entire 3D movie craze. The movie Avatar premiered when Jupiter was together with Neptune in Aquarius.

The rise of virtual reality is also possible during this time.

This alignment is absolutely amazing for starting any creative project. 

Super auspicious time for all the creatives out there!

Faith and Spirituality

Neptune dissolves boundaries and activates our desire to follow the higher calling, spirituality, and mysticism. This may cause emergence of new cults and spiritual communities.

Neptune – Jupiter conjunction is closely connected with our dreams and aspirations. ‘Dream big’ is the motto of this combo!

We may also experience a surge of spiritual awakening on the collective level.

Adopting  a spiritual practice that resonates with your inner self the most is highly recommended at this time.

It can really help cope with ever-changing outer environment of the turbulent times we are now living in.

Economy

Unfortunately, oil prices may go up even further since Jupiter-Neptune conjunction sextiles Uranus in Taurus.

There is a danger of even higher inflation and things being overvalued.

It is important to be cautious when it comes to financial investments (crypto currencies, NFTs, etc).

To cut a long story short – don’t believe the hype!

Especially when it comes to ventures that appear too good to be true. There is a great chance that they are!

Relationships

Discernment is the key word when it comes to navigating dreamy waters of Jupiter – Neptune conjunction in Pisces.

If you are single, there is a great chance of meeting someone dreamy. Just make sure you are not too trusting. Same as with financial investments, use your discernment!

This influence is also supported by numerology.

The year 2022 is number 6, which is connected with the planet of love, Venus. Venus is also the ruler of the North Node in Taurus, which is connected with our destiny.

Overall, there is a great chance for you to finally meet your soul mate this year! 

This Jupiter-Neptune conjunction can certainly bless us with the fairy tale ending. 

Shadow Side of the Jupiter – Neptune Conjunction

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 an individual and collective level.

Fake news, major deception in the media, distortion of reality might take the centre stage at this time.

This powerful energy can be literally intoxicating.

There is a great chance of overdoing the good thing. We can feel ungrounded. 

Over indulgence and substance abuse can escalate at this time.

There might be a lack of boundaries. Neptune dissolves structures and Jupiter expands everything it touches.

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

Its physical manifestation can cause major floodings or other natural disasters connected with water. 

The Cosmic Takeaway

This once-in-a-lifetime planetary alignment will have a major impact on all of us, both on an individual and collective level.

This rare conjunction can make our old dreams come true and also create a new reality.

It can bestow magical blessings but also spread the fog of distorted perception of the world around us.

We are being asked to channel this energy through creativity and practical spirituality.

Keeping both feet on the ground, practicing discernment and keeping the faith alive are the key steps towards the new path that is abundantly promised by these two major cosmic players.

Stay mindful, hopeful and connected to Source. The possibilities are truly endless…
