Jupiter has been retrograde since March 4, 2006 and will now go direct on July 6, 2006 Hooray!! Those who have any planets or Ascendant, Midheaven at 18 Scorpio (opposite sun sign: 18 Taurus) are going to hit the lottery--figuratively speaking, when it goes direct on July 6, 2006.

Those going on vacation at this time will have a wonderful time, even if there are delays, thanks to Mercury going retrograde two days earlier...but look to guardian angel Jupiter to ensure upgrades and problem solving to make this trip one to remember in the best of ways!

Those most affected by this lucky transit were born in the sign Scorpio between November 8th through November 13th, with the luckiest day being November 11th! By opposite sign, Taurus, those born between May 6th through May 12th, with May 9th, the luckiest day, will benefit greatly as well.

Mercury, the trickster of travel, is going retrograde on July 4th (talk about putting a damper on fireworks...) Still, Jupiter is going to help. Call it a crack of light shining through the darkness. And right now, we can use all the help we can get. Everyone is going to benefit in business from this heavenly cornucopia up in our sky. The stock market has fallen into a black hole of late, but take heart! It will resurge with Jupiter for direct and business will go over 11,000 for the rest of the summer and into the fall of 2006, as a result. Business people will have a cautious optimism to celebrate in early August, 2006 (after Mercury is direct). And in the sky right now, transiting Jupiter is going direct.

Jupiter rules a sense of well being, of being ageless, living forever, being immortal, and people are going to want to PARTY, being optimistic and happy, despite the pall of war hanging over the world.

WHO IS MOST AFFECTED BY THIS?

Jupiter goes retrograde at 18 Scorpio (and by opposite sign, 18 Taurus ). Scorpio sun sign people most affected were born November 7th through November 14th with those born on November 11th, receiving the bulk of the retrograde energy from this planet. In opposite sign,Taurus , those born May 5th through May 12th, with those born on May 9th, receiving the full energy from this planet, are directly affected.

If you have a natal Jupiter retrograde, then this is a great time for you! You are in your element and will make out quite well during this time frame, March 4, 2006 through July 6, 2006! Many opportunities and good "dharma" are coming your way, so be prepared! You will be showered with gifts, grace, pay raises, opportunities in general, so this is good news!

COSMIC LOTTO WINNERS: SCORPIO and TAURUS!

Every Scorpio in the world is going to feel the 'ejection seat release' on Jupiter turning direct on July 6th--that oughta be a party in itself. If you Scorpio and Taurus people have felt like the weight of the world which has been on your shoulders for months, and are getting irritable about it....hang on. Right now things are really bearing down right now just before Jupiter turns direct...but hang in there! Help is on the way, I promise. You're feeling the cosmic weight of Jupiter turning stationary direct. Feeling depressed? Feeling pessimistic? Blue? Hopeless? No wonder.

Well, buck up Scorpio and Taurus, things are going to turn from night to day for you real fast on the 6th of July! Get ready to party, to gallop free, to feel the loads dissolving from your hunched up, straining shoulders. Come out of the cellar. Walk out into the bright sunlight, face it and absorb the heat of the far away sun, because new hope, idealism and joy abound within you and around you.

Those who have had any planets or Ascendant around 18 degrees (opposite Taurus), you are going to be feeling the most RELIEF. You will feel like someone let you out of prison. All the blocks, the walls, the hurdles that have been thrown in front of you and stopped you from any forward motion, are now going to be removed--big time, so be ready for the gates opening with a huge WHOOSH comes July 6, 2006. With Jupiter retrograde, money has been TIGHT to nonexistent for many of us. If you tried to find a job, you didn't. If you tried to get a loan, you couldn't. If you tried to expand your business, it failed. If you tried to do any type of expansion on any level, it did not occur. It couldn't with Jupiter retrograde. But with Jupiter going DIRECT... all that is about to change! Consider Jupiter the fairy of good fortune and watch the fairy dust get sprinkled all over you and MAGIC! Good things are going to happen!

JUPITER GOING DIRECT

This doesn't happen very often, but Scorpio's/Taurus and its close to a Full Moon (that occurs on July 10,2006) and this means doors of opportunity are going to explode open for you--so be aware and take advantage of the opportunities coming your way. The moon rules our emotions. Jupiter rules exaggeration, bounty, a river running wild without any dams, banks or boundaries. The Full Moon releases all the pent up emotions like a balloon fizzling out of air. This is good because this Jupiter going direct is tremendously successful for many people who have been waiting in the wings for many months--even years--and now, you get your rewards, money, fame and success.

For some, this will be a day of huge emotional breakthroughs and deeper awareness of themselves. Some will utilize this "aha" as a positive thing and move toward health. Others will not. It is a free will choice. The stars impel. They do not compel.

This will be a day of very, very focused, intense emotions for everyone around the world. How we handle our feelings is up to us; but it's going to be a boiler out there, folks--so deal with others carefully and try to extend understanding instead of judgment whenever possible.

JUPITER'S SHADOW PERIOD WHEN GOOD THINGS START TO HAPPEN...

Three weeks before Jupiter goes direct, we start getting some positive fairy dust being pranged in our direction in the best of ways! From June 15, 2006 through July 6, 2006, we are in the 'shadow' of Jupiter turning direct. This is when the goody bags start to be doled out, so be standing in line to get yours if you've been a good little girl or boy!

WRITERS AND PUBLISHERS CELEBRATE!

If you happen to be in the writing business, this is a highly fortunate time people in this career field. A manuscript that was returned by an editor for rewrite, will be bought! If you have an idea at this time, pitch it to an agent or editor--they will be open to it. Book sales will climb; although with Mercury retrograde....not as much as anyone would like, unfortunately... but, your book will not bomb! It might not make the New York Times Bestseller list, but it will make the USA Today Bestsellers list! So, get ready to hear some good news from an editor or publishing house if you've had an idea or proposal sitting on their desk--the word is coming NOW. And it will make you positively giddy with good news!

THE POSITIVE SIDE OF JUPITER

Let's look at some keywords for Jupiter so we can all understand what it means for this planet to go direct and shower us with his incredible, boundless fairy dust that is bound to catalyze us. Jupiter is:

Generosity--to ourselves as well as others.

Optimistic--no matter how down you've been, no matter how dark it has been, HOPE is now back in the picture in your mental outlook. Where once there was pessimism and dark clouds, the sun's rays will poke through and you will, once again, have that immortal optimism to pump you up, support you and push you out there once again. And this time, you will be successful.

Cosmopolitan--no one is more broadminded and lacking prejudice than a Jupiter person. They are not "little minded" like so many others. They are world travelers, world-minded, and world-connected as no other planet. This is about understanding at the deepest levels about our world family connection. And those who have Jupiter at 18 Scorpio (opposite Taurus) will "get it". Jupiter does not see skin color, religion or country of origin. To Jupiter people, we are all one. We are all related. And the only way we will survive is with this cosmopolitan attitude. With the war in Iraq, we are going to learn that suffering, death and inhumanity affects ALL of us, friend and foe alike.

THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF JUPITER

Because people are learning about the "light" and "heavy" energy of every planet and sign, Jupiter does not escape this, and neither do we. A person who is not enlightened or is here this lifetime to learn a particular lesson, may have one of the following (or more) attributes of a Jupiter gone to the dark side:

Exaggeration--or, outright lying. Unfortunately, this particular item is stronger than normal this time because Mercury goes retrograde two days earlier, so lies are out there and so are the liars--beware. People who tell "tall tales" but don't tell you they are telling them. Stretching the truth. Building empires in the clouds with a sand base. Painting an ephemeral, optimistic picture with feet of clay. You get the picture.

Pompous--Jupiterians who are smug, arrogant and think they are better than everyone else are really very little people with shrinking self-esteem who are truly afraid to be found out. Knowing that, we can forgive them and not buy into or connect with their belittling energy. These people like to criticize others, cut them down, bring them down a peg, or in some way, destroy them because they want to be like them, but with their lack of solid self-esteem, they never will be.

Excessive--Yes, in just about every way, including one's waist line and girth. Obesity strikes, big time. They eat more food, more wine, more desserts, more of -- well, of everything. Jupiter out of control means excess. It can also mean over proliferation of cells and cellular multiplication out of control which spells tumors (benign as well as malignant).

Judgmental--No one does this better than a Jupiterian person, sadly. Just because they might have power, position, money or political gain, doesn't mean they need to treat the rest of us like dirt. But they do.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GO 'DIRECT'?

How many of you have met barriers, walls, delays, hurdles, blocks and stoppage on something you wanted to do since mid-August of last year and it's been stuck in neutral and is going nowhere? Well, many of us. The good news is that all this stuff is going to dissolve on July 6th and the flood gates of opportunity will begin. With Scorpio at the helm, it means we are going to sign on the bottom line, form new relationships--both personal and business-wise. Teamwork is in the air. Working together for a common goal is coming together in a blinding rush of energy and intensity.

Decisions that have long been put off, put on the back burner of delayed for whatever reason, will be MADE--NOW. It doesn't matter whether it was a court of law, a business opportunity, a new job, a move to another state or country, it will all start moving--finally, with Jupiter going direct.

The best way I can put Jupiter retrograde is first, picture a thoroughbred horse with a jockey on it, at the starting gate. With Jupiter retrograde, no one's gates fly open at the buzzer--they are all stuck at the starting gate! With Jupiter going direct, the gates not only fly open, but the thoroughbreds are off and running--hard--down that oval track. And so will you be, too.

If you've been having a rotten year since March, 2006 and it hasn't lifted--it will soon--on July 6, 2006. Jupiter is now going to give all of us who have been staggering under a lot of loads mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually, a gift. You are going to feel better and better with each passing day after July 6th. Each morning, you'll wake up feeling a little more hope, a little more optimism until, finally...Summer has just arrived and you're going to be ready to rock n' roll with a party mode that will even surprise even the most staid person!

Our sense of humor is going to return! Our dreams and visions will, once more, start being fulfilled like Santa filling our socks as they hang on the fireplace mantle. Everyone is going to get goodies and gifts from this Jupiter going direct. Everyone. It is just a question of how large or small your gift will be. If you have been of service to others, yours will be a nice gift bag from the Cosmos, so be expecting it.
