While the Sun won’t return to Leo to begin your birthday month and new solar year until Thursday, Venus has not only already moved through, but three weeks after his return to begin a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion, Jupiter is making his presence felt. Jupiter has returned to open new doors and over the next 12 months, help you lay down the foundations for major new beginnings and the path that the future will take. It is also this week that as was the case when Venus moved through, Jupiter is facing pushback from Pluto, the planet of change and transformation on the other side of the sky. While this might create some tension or pressure, it is just new growth coming up against old roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. That this comes just as Jupiter’s friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in an adventurous part of your chart peaks is giving you the confidence to see this as part of the journey that you are embarking on. Whenever we try and make big changes, we are going to be challenged, for the status quo has a powerful suction.
