Those song lyrics, by Train, keep running through my head as I contemplate some of the upcoming aspects.
“Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow, hey, hey, hey….”
Mostly because this upcoming series of aspects to Jupiter in Virgo reminds me to remind you that there truly is room to grow.
First Mars, then Venus will conjunct, or join with, Jupiter in Virgo. As they do, it’s like they get touched by drops of Jupiter which we can then all access in new ways.
Jupiter in Virgo is a muted form of Jupiter – a hard working, productive, grow through efficiency kind of Jupiter, but it is still Jupiter, the giving planet, underneath Virgo’s diligence and attention to detail.
On Saturday and Sunday, October 16 and 17, Mars joins with Jupiter at 14 Virgo. The following week, Sunday, October 25 and Monday, October 26, Venus joins Jupiter at 15 Virgo. Pluto at 13 Capricorn is closely involved too.
Mars/Jupiter is an interesting one, combining the planet of cuts and sharpness, Mars, with one all about progress and expansion (Jupiter). You may need to cut away from the past or matters that drag you down to encourage growth, a little like the necessary pruning of one’s roses before bedding the garden down for winter.
Venus/Jupiter is a kind of goodness, or mercy, albeit muted since neither Venus nor Jupiter is at their best in Virgo. Sweet connections or generous offerings are likely, especially when offered in the service of others, and without personal ambition.
As Mars and Venus visit with Jupiter in Virgo, you’ll get a chance to experience more of what Jupiter in Virgo is about for you. It will activate the house area of your chart ruled by Virgo, and will help bring new possibilities around those house topics to the fore for you.
For us all, it’s a chance to take a (well planned) leap of faith, to organise a matter that holds great meaning for you and to generally walk your talk more often.
What will Jupiter in Virgo trigger for you?
And if you need a soundtrack for these aspects, here’s Train singing ‘Drops of Jupiter’
