Expansive Jupiter began to move forward again on April 7, after nearly four months. Plans and projects that have been on the back burner since early December 2014 may now start to flourish.
If you have felt like you’ve been treading water, or that one area of life has been demanding a lot with little result, you may find Jupiter’s change in direction helps you create momentum. Personally, I’ve had welcome experiences around health, my dear kittys and work (all 6th House topics for this Pisces rising!).
When such a large planet begins to move forward again, many areas of life that have been on hold or stuck can feel re-energised. It’s as if your spirit responds to the call of the cosmos.
Since Jupiter is about faith, truth and purpose, goals or dreams to do with being authentic or simply doing more of what makes your heart sing are likely to feel refreshed. These concepts will act like guideposts in the coming months. When you resonate with something – an experience, person or opportunity – in such a way that feels like it touches your spirit, let that be your clue to say yes, even if logistics seem tricky.
Your may experience new motivation or a desire to try something you’d previously felt afraid of or nervous about. The skies offer encouragement, confidence and a little daring now. If you could make manifest one dream in your heart, what would it be?

Jupiter will be in Leo until August. Between now and then Jupiter will cover almost two thirds of Leo, giving you a fantastic boost to power forward around a big, bright or high powered dream. You may be blessed with second chances, especially for missed opportunities in the first part of 2015, or a new offer may arrive.

Jupiter’s Cycle
Jupiter spends about 12 months in each sign, circling the Zodiac (and the Sky!) once every 12 years. This means Jupiter’s sign and themes, and the way Jupiter triggers your chart, highlights a fresh focus for each 12 month period.
Most Jupiter ‘years’ won’t coincide with calendar years. For instance, the Jupiter in Leo year began in July 2014 and continues until August 2015. Within this timeframe, you will probably notice specific themes or a collection of issues that become important or a bigger focus.

Like everyone else with a Pisces rising, or Pisces ascendant, I am currently experiencing Jupiter in Leo in my 6th House, which is associated with health, pets and daily work routines.
This weekend I tried my first green smoothie (partly motivated by this fun video and delicious looking drink!). I took cat #2 in for her annual physical, which she mostly passed with flying colours (and only needs a little ointment to fix a small concern).
Cat #1 is fully healed from all her ailments of earlier in the year too, which we just got confirmation of following final tests at the end of last week. As I write this, the morning sun streams through my office windows and my two cats who get along the least (tabby cat Merlin and tuxedo cat Smudge) are lying contentedly, each in their own puddle of sunshine, enjoying the heat and oblivious to – or finally calm about – the presence of each other. These are two cats who in the beginning, when smelling each other, would hiss and swipe, so this feels like a massive win.
I also took a day last week to spruce up the Feng Shui around the house, updating colours, ditching clutter and adding beauty. It’s not so much that Feng Shui is astrology, but the idea of making adjustments at an auspicious time always adds a little more charge to the experience – and the possible results. Already life feels in better flow, and it was a lovely synchronicity to do this as Jupiter reorganised its schedule.
So far for me, Jupiter in Leo is bringing a little welcome progress on health goals, happy news about the kittys and a general sense of refocus and new excitement about regular work opportunities. (All 6th House topics!)
