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.
