The Jupiter Return:
A Path to Prosperity
This is my 3rd Jupiter Return, as it takes
Jupiter approximately 12 years to return to the same degree of the zodiac as it
was when one was born. Jupiter is the
first of two ‘social planets’…positioned between the ‘personal planets’ and ‘generational
planets’. The Social Planets show us our
specialty in our societal groups and teach us how to hone our interests into skill
sets for the purpose of interacting with our community. When we go through our Jupiter Returns, we
are expanding our horizons and following our bliss. It is a very lucky influence…and often
inclines experiences of being in the right place at the right time with the
right people. People enter your life or
come into prominence in your life experience at this time that act as angels or
blessings. In my experience of my 2nd
Jupiter Return I became pregnant with my firstborn, Alyrica Rayven. Soon after,
I moved back to Omaha (where I now live) and became re-acquainted with an old
friend who is now my husband, Michael.
Both have been significant blessings in my life since.
Jupiter’s call leads you to your unique version of
prosperity in this life. The position of
Jupiter at your birth can show you your most expansive path toward soul growth
and enlightenment. Whether Jupiter is
direct or retrograde shows you if the quest is more of an outward or inward
exploration. The house position shows
you in what area of life Jupiter’s lessons will focus. The aspects Jupiter was making when you were
born show other energies at play on your enlightenment path. The sign shows you
the type of quest you are to undertake as you explore these lessons. And the specific degree Jupiter was in when
you were born gives clues to the experiences and skills that you will explore
and expand upon on this quest.
I was born when Jupiter was Retrograde in the 8th
degree of Scorpio, which resides in my 6th House of Health and Daily
Service. Jupiter was in harmonious
aspects with Venus (my guiding planet) and the asteroids of Juno and Psyche
when I was born…and also in a dynamic square with Vesta. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is ‘a calm
lake bathed in moonlight’. With the
retrograde influence, mine is an inward quest for prosperity. With the watery imagery of the lake, the
connection with the moon, as well as the depths of the water sign of Scorpio, this
is a quest through my inner feelings and emotions. There is great depth in this realm of my
personality, though (on the surface) I am often calm, peaceful, and still
enough to reflect higher inspiration from what illuminates my feeling nature…or,
at least, this is how I’ve learned to hone those skills so far. I was not always able to achieve such
emotional calm. It was, and continues to
be, a significant part of my growth in this life. But greater understanding of my own feeling
nature has brought me the skill set that has enabled me to pursue my sacred
work, which has brought prosperity into my life and also the lives of those I
serve. Jupiter’s influence in my life is
explored through healing work (6th House) related to spiritual love
and service in relationships for friends and community (Jupiter trine 11th
House Venus in Pisces), commitment and responsibilities in marriage as well as female
empowerment lessons (Jupiter sextile 9th House Juno in Capricorn), creative
focus through mind and soul alignment (Jupiter sextile 5th House
Psyche in Virgo), and dynamic changes in my sacred work as a Priestess of Gaia
(Jupiter square 10th House Vesta in Aquarius). All of these explorations have deepened this
year for me, and my path ahead is clearer than ever now.
In this 3rd Jupiter Return, the call of Venus’s
influence in my life is palpable. Right
now, Venus in Scorpio is closing in on a conjunction with Jupiter (exact at
2:05am CST on November 13th) where they meet at this 8th
degree of Scorpio. Venusian Healing has
been an integral part of my enlightenment path, especially since my 2nd
Venus Return…and this year really feels like I’m activating her medicine in a
greater way. Jupiter Returns oftentimes
coincide with taking workshops and classes to improve your skills and expand
upon your interests (which I have been doing all year). This year I have deepened my shamanic
practice by becoming a Mesa Carrier and exploring my soul lineage through the
teachings of the Q’ero people of the Peruvian Andes, harnessed the power of my
inner shakti through tantric dance, dedicated myself to celebrate more with
ceremony and learn from elders at each full moon, and have been learning more
about sound healing through ParaTan mantra practice. The Jupiter Return is a time to immerse
yourself in your passions and expand your skill set to open you up to new
opportunities to shine. You find
yourself becoming more visible within your community and feeling lucky to be
alive at this place and time, no matter the struggles that growth may
bring. Though it has not been my
experience this time, travel is often associated with this time as well as a
way to expand your horizons and experience.
Just today, I arrived at ParaTan to learn and practice the
Kali Mantra…and something quite extraordinary (and personal) happened with each
of us together. We went overtime because
a deep sharing between us happened…leaving us wide open and grateful to be in
the presence of each other at that time.
These sacred sharings amongst people in my community have been happening
at nearly every gathering, class, or workshop I’ve been attending this year…things
that are not planned, just spontaneous sharings that end up being the exact
thing that one or more of us needed to hear to shift something inside of us and
liberate our life force energy. In this
Scorpio energy, such sharings are truly moving and deeply cathartic.
What Jupiter has taught me thus far is that prosperity is a
seed that grows from inside each of us…one which we must appreciate, cultivate,
and care for with all we learn and experience in life. Only then can it fully blossom in our
awareness and branch out into our lives externally. Gratitude for the blessings you were born
with and the blessings that follow is the stuff that feeds that healthy growth
from deep in our own soil. Love is the
water that nourishes that growth. And
trust is the light that encourages that prosperity to grow upwards and
outwards, generously giving and receiving in balance with the world around
us.
Love and Gratitude,
Felina Lune Kavi
