Jupiter Neptune Conjunction
Expansive Jupiter will be conjuncting idealistic Neptune
from the end of May through mid July 2009 and the world
will get another booster shot when they align one more time
in December 2009. These conjunctions occur every 13 years
and coincide with new trends of social or spiritual
expansion. Jupiter can also exaggerate and Neptune can
disappoint so there is the danger of inflation,
over-production, over-idealization and self-deceit from
expecting too much. But ultimately this cycle leads to
positive results even if we have to readjust our dreams and
goals.
This Jupiter-Neptune conjunction falls in the
community-minded, humanistic sign of Aquarius, which begins
to describe the tone of the next 13 years. Neptune has been
in Aquarius since 1998 through 2011, as it transits about
every 165 years. Jupiter has a 12-year cycle and entered
Aquarius January 2009 through January 2010. Therefore the
signs of this significant new cycle has been surfacing
since President Obama took office in January as he called
for social and economic changes that many around the world
have embraced. Obama also has an Aquarius Rising, the
rising sign indicating how a person projects themselves to
others.
The last time the world experienced Jupiter-Neptune
conjunctions in Aquarius were 1843, 1677, 1511, 1345 or
about every 166 years. During these previous social
Aquarius cycles we have seen (1843) the rise of
abolitionists prior to the US Civil War, (1677) the
over-extended Spanish Empire weakening, (1511) the first
African slaves are imported to the New World in Cuba,
(1345) the Black Plague that started 10 years earlier in
China is now spreading worldwide brought to Europe by
traveling merchants.
How Jupiter-Neptune will express itself depends on the
house sector in your individual horoscope. It will be at 26
degrees of Aquarius and if you know where it falls in your
chart would indicate the best insights but where it falls
in relationship to Aquarius in general, will also provide
useful information.
The dangers of the Jupiter Neptune cycle are exaggerated
expectations and not dealing with reality in an honest and
pragmatic manner. Even if you set yourself up for
disappointment the affects should be temporary for most so
that you can readjust and begin to move forwards again with
more realistic expectations. The following is a list of the
promises and possibilities that the Jupiter Neptune can
attract into your life. Just remember not to forget your
common sense when dealing with the many opportunities.
