It’s no surprise that Jupiter—
the largest planet in our solar system—
has a BIG personality.
Considered the “Great Benefic” in
traditional astrology, Jupiter represents
abundance, luck, and expansion.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS FOR CONSTELLATION CLUB MEMBERS ONLY. DO NOT DUPLICATE OR SHARE.
In tarot, Jupiter is associated with the Wheel
of Fortune card, which perfectly captures
this gigantic planet’s gambling spirit.
Jupiter is the Las Vegas of the cosmos: It’s
decadent, excessive, and certainly not afraid
to take a few risks.
However, too many hours spent gambling
may yield some troubling returns. Since
Jupiter’s nature is to expand whatever it
touches, it can magnify darkness, as well.

Mythology
In Roman mythology, Jupiter is known as the King of the Gods. He is also the God of the
Sky and Thunder, known as Zeus in Greek mythology.
Prior to Jupiter’s reign, his father—Saturn—was King of the Gods. Saturn had several
children with Ops, but with each passing day, became increasingly paranoid and tyrannical.
Under the threat of being overthrown by one of his children, Saturn began to consume his
babies. Ops raised one child in secret, Jupiter. Once Jupiter was fully grown, he forced
Saturn to regurgitate his children (Neptune, Pluto, Juno, Ceres, and Vesta). Thereafter,
Jupiter and his siblings banded together to overthrow Saturn.
Jupiter declared war on Saturn and the Titans, eventually defeating and imprisoning them.
After the fall of Saturn and the Titans, Jupiter and his brothers, Neptune and Pluto, divided
the world into three parts. Neptune became God of the Sea, Pluto became God of the
Underworld, and Jupiter became God of the Heavens, claiming the title of King of the Gods.

Jupiter’s Orbit
It takes Jupiter about 12 years to
move across all twelve signs of the
zodiac, and it dwells in each sign
for approximately 13 months.

Endings: Jupiter in Taurus
Jupiter’s movement into Gemini marks the end of our Jupiter
in Taurus period. We won’t experience Jupiter in Taurus
again for another ~12 years!
Jupiter’s transit through sensual, slow-moving Taurus drew
our attention to matters of the material world. Its 12-month
transit invited us to reevaluate our relationship to finances,
amplify our ability to cultivate groundedness and pleasure,
and root further into our values. Collectively, Jupiter in
Taurus brought climate justice, wealth disparity, and the
Land Back movement to the forefront.

Jupiter in Gemini
Jupiter leaves Taurus on May 25, 2024, to enter dynamic, communicative Gemini.
Jupiter in Gemini aims to cultivate growth and abundance through social
connection, dialogue, and adaptability. It has a keen understanding of matters of
the mind thanks to Gemini’s airy nature. It strives to collect, process, and share as
much information as it can in order to expand its horizons.
Jupiter is in detriment in Gemini, which means there’s an inherent tension
between Jupiter’s larger-than-life nature and Gemini’s interest in the social
dynamics of the here and now. This tension is neither good nor bad; it’s simply
something that must be negotiated over the next 12-months. Jupiter in Gemini
can be both inspiring and deceptive, which means we’ll need to hone our critical
thinking skills to discern fact from fiction while this transit is afoot.

Jupiter in Gemini
Collectively, Jupiter in Gemini will shift the ways in which we, as a global society,
package and disseminate information. We’re likely to experience some major
developments or pivots related to social media, news outlets, and political
campaigns. Since we’re finding ourselves in an incredibly fraught election year, be
mindful of misinformation and disinformation, especially on your social platforms.
On a personal level, Jupiter in Gemini will encourage you to embody the archetype
of the perpetual student. It’s a great transit for learning, writing, and storytelling.
Moreover, it invites you to tune in to your thought patterns and friendships—which
are serving you, and which do you need to release? It can be challenging to
distinguish anxiety from intuition and stay grounded during this transit, so make
sure to safeguard your sensual self-care practices as you navigate the next year.

What does it mean to be
ruled by Jupiter?
If you’re ruled by Jupiter, that means your Ascendant is in Sagittarius (or, in traditional
astrology, Pisces). Generally, being ruled by Jupiter means you’re a lifelong learner! You’re on a
mission to gain wisdom and cultivate connection. You need freedom to explore. At the same
time, the placement of Jupiter in your natal chart will shape and specify these themes.
You’ll want to locate where Jupiter falls in your birth chart. The condition of Jupiter in your
chart will provide you with more insight into how your Ascendant frames your life.
When interpreting your natal Jupiter, consider the following:
1. The zodiac sign Jupiter falls in
2. The house Jupiter falls in
3. Aspects to Jupiter

Jupiter Return
Although the Saturn Return is one of the most notable cyclical occurrences
(another, of course, being your Solar Return, also known as your birthday),
Jupiter’s return is also significant.
This phenomenon occurs every ~12 years when Jupiter in the sky aligns
with its position in your birth chart.
Your own Jupiter Return fosters positive growth, so this is a time to
embrace unabashed bravery. The universe will reward your fearlessness.
If you were born when Jupiter was in Gemini, this upcoming planetary
motion will activate your Jupiter Return.

Jupiter Return
DO embrace opportunities
DO get out of your comfort zone
DO follow your dreams
DON’T get caught up in expectations
DON’T resist change
DON’T close yourself off from your potential

Jupiter through the Houses
Regardless of whether you're experiencing your Jupiter Return,
Jupiter's movement through Gemini will activate a specific
area of your birth chart, which can be identified as the
house(s) in your chart that contain the sign of Gemini.

Regardless, of Jupiter's
placement in your individual
birth chart, Jupiter's movement
through Gemini (a.k.a. transit)
will impact a specific house in
your chart, thus illuminating a
range of potential themes that
may emerge throughout the
transit.

Let’s locate the sign of Gemini
in Willow Smith’s chart.
Locate the Gemini symbol
on the outer edge of
Willow Smith’s birth chart.
Note: We recommend using the
TimePassages app or software for this
exercise, as it clearly labels the birth chart.
Find the corresponding
yellow band linked to
the Gemini symbol.
That’s this whole area.
Note: We recommend using the
TimePassages app or software for this
exercise, as it clearly labels the birth chart.
Identify the houses
associated with that
yellow band.
The sign of Gemini
falls in Willow Smith’s
12th and 1st Houses.
Note: We recommend using the
TimePassages app or software for this
exercise, as it clearly labels the birth chart.
Note that the zodiac bands
do not always align with
the divisions of the houses.
In Willow Smith’s chart, notice how
the yellow band representing the
sign of Gemini reaches into both
the 12th House and the 1st House.
In the Placidus house system, the
zodiac signs are not evenly
distributed throughout the houses.
As you interpret your chart in
Placidus, remember that
House ≠ Sign.
Note: I recommend using the
TimePassages app or software for this
exercise, as it clearly labels the birth chart.
Note that the zodiac bands
do not always align with
the divisions of the houses.
In Willow Smith’s chart, we see
10° Gemini labeling the line
between the 12th and 1st Houses. 12th House
This is called a house cusp.
House Cusp
This means that 0-9° Gemini falls 1st House
in the 12th House, and 10-29°
Gemini falls in the 1st House.
Note: I recommend using the
TimePassages app or software for this
exercise, as it clearly labels the birth chart.
Note that the zodiac bands
do not always align with
the divisions of the houses.
Keep this in mind as you interpret
your own birth chart! If you need
help, don’t hesitate to reach out 12th House
on Discord or Mighty Networks :)
House Cusp
1st House
Note: I recommend using the
TimePassages app or software for this
exercise, as it clearly labels the birth chart.
As Jupiter moves from 0° to 29°
Gemini, it will transit this entire
portion of Willow Smith’s birth chart,
first illuminating the 12th House,
then crossing over the 1st House cusp
and moving through the 1st House.
Note: We recommend using the
TimePassages app or software for this
exercise, as it clearly labels the birth chart.
Jupiter Through the Houses
Now, find where 0°–29° Gemini activates
your chart. That’s where you’ll be able to
nurture growth and abundance during
Jupiter’s journey through Gemini.

Jupiter Aspects
Use an ephemeris (check the Transits PDF for a refresher!) to
discover when Jupiter will be making important soft and
hard aspects to your birth chart.
These will be notable moments, as they only occur every
~12 years due to Jupiter's leisurely orbit.
Mark those dates on your calendar.

In your birth chart, note
which planets and points are
in Gemini. Jupiter will be
making conjunctions with
these placements.
Willow Smith has:
· Jupiter at 9° Gemini
· Ascendent at 10° Gemini
Transiting Jupiter in Gemini will

Interpreting Jupiter
Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches. As such, Jupiter is a catalyst
of growth and abundance, but also excess and indulgence.
Jupiter can bring forth expansive opportunities, inspire us to
explore the world and accumulate wisdom, and encourage us to take
advantage of the splendors life offers (read: Jupiter can party hard!).
In your birth chart, Jupiter will emphasize the topics of the house
it’s transiting, along with the planets or points it makes contact with
along the way.

Example: Barbra Streisand
Barbra Streisand has her natal Jupiter
at 19° Gemini in her 3rd House. Using
an ephemeris, we can see that she will
experience her exact Jupiter Return on
September 10, 2024.
Forming a square to her Venus at 17°
Pisces and her North-South Node axis
at 12° Pisces-Virgo, we might expect
her Jupiter Return to bring forth a
burst of creative inspiration, a turning
point in her career, or a recognition of
her legacy.
During her most recent Jupiter Return
from 2012-2013, she embarked on her
successful “Barbra Live” tour across
North America and Europe.
Example: Brooke Shields
Not only does Brooke Shields have her
natal Jupiter in Gemini, but she also
has her Sun, North Node, Moon
Midheaven, and Venus in Gemini!
With so much Gemini energy at the
most visible point in her birth chart,
we can anticipate that her Jupiter
Return, along with the conjunctions
that will be formed to her various natal
placements, will bring about some
major developments related to her
passions, career, and legacy.
Notably, during her first Jupiter Return
at age 12, she received her breakout
role as the lead in Pretty Baby, which
sparked much controversy, as the
public raised concerns about child
pornography and sexual abuse.
