Today, March 25, 2024 around 10 am PDT, Jupiter left its “Shadow Zone” and now moves into the future. What does this mean?
First, for those who don’t know the term, a planet’s “Shadow Zone” is the span of degrees between the point it goes stationary retrograde back to where it goes stationary direct. When a planet which was retrograde goes direct, it moves across the same span of degrees it did when retrograde. That is the Shadow Zone.
Jupiter went SRX at 16 Taurus on September 4, 2023, the day after Venus went stationary direct at 13 Leo after its Summer retrograde. Jupiter then retrograded back to 6 Taurus, where it went direct December 30. Recall this was Mercury’s exact SRX and SD span in April and May 2023, so Jupiter expanded those themes to houses and planets where we have Sagittarius and Pisces.
It’s now racing forward and is leaving the boundary of its shadow zone at 16 Taurus. As Jupiter, the adventurous Magician-Shamanic Guide who opens wider views and truths is now speeding up, we can expect all things related to Jupiter to speed up as well for the next 2+ months.
As Jupiter moves through the rest of Taurus, it will conjunct Uranus in a few weeks at 22 Taurus and launch a new 13 year era related to the “white dove flying over troubled waters” theme of 22 Taurus. This promises a “new time, a new way, and a new day” for those of us who have had faith and determination while making the passage out of the old world in 2023 into a new world of 2024. As Jupiter leaves its Shadow Zone, it now can bring us confidence as we approach the new knowledge and understanding to come when Jupiter enters Gemini in late May.
During the time Jupiter races through the last half of Taurus, it’ll be conjuncted by the Sun at 29 Taurus, followed by Venus conjunct Jupiter at 30 Taurus on May 23 just before the World Teacher Full Moon at 3 Gemini/Sagittarius. Mercury will eventually conjunct Jupiter at 3 Gemini in early June, so we’re on the threshold of the last inner planet conjunctions with Jupiter in Taurus for many years. Mars will eventually conjunct Jupiter at 17 Gemini in August during the intense storm created by Jupiter square Saturn, Jupiter sesquisquare Pluto, and Saturn semisquare Pluto. That shows tremendous friction being set into motion by Mars in mid-August!
So enjoy the quickened pace, which should help many areas of our lives move forward in fine style, especially in the Sagittarius and Pisces sectors, plus any sectors ruled by planets we have in those signs. We got a vision of the structures of the future when Jupiter was in Capricorn and visions of the great global future when Jupiter was in Aquarius. We deepened and expanded our feeling-awareness when Jupiter was in Pisces, said goodbye to many potential futures, and then got a huge leap forward when Jupiter flamed on in Aries. We’d experienced Jupiter in Taurus since May 2023, and now move forward into Gemini.
By late April we’ll know we’re in a new era wherever we have 22 Taurus in our chart. By June will have an explosion of ideas which are core to depth comprehension of cycles and ideals in-the-becoming. Follow the breadcrumbs through the forest to a new life and a new view.
