Good morning, friends!
Well, today is very exciting! Jupiter enters Taurus today and in this post, we are going to talk about what the planet Jupiter represents, what the transition from the last decan of Aries to the first decan of Taurus symbolizes using the correlating tarot cards; a little bit about Jupiter squaring Pluto and Mars upon his ingress, and finally horoscopes for all 12 Sun or Rising signs.
Okay, let’s get into…the astrology
The last time that Jupiter was in Taurus was in June of 2011- June of 2012. So, as we go over the themes of what to expect with this transit, you can also be looking back to that time period to reflect on how the archetype played out for you back then, as well.
The only major aspect to perfect today is Jupiter’s ingress into Taurus which will happen at 1:19 pm ET. Below is the ingress chart cast for Washington, D.C.
You can see Jupiter at the top right of the chart, at 00° Taurus 00’. Upon his ingress, he will be co-present with the North Node, Mercury, Uranus, and the Sun.
The Midheaven (MC)1 of the chart is also in Taurus at 29°17’ conjoined to the fixed star Alcyone2, of the Pleiades constellation, also known as the Weeping Sisters.
Upon Jupiter’s ingress into Taurus, he will immediately engage in a partile square to Pluto in Aquarius which will be exact on May 17, 2023.
Mars is at 27° of Cancer upon Jupiter’s ingress and so he is also engaging in an opposition to Pluto and applying to square Jupiter as well. Mars will perfect the opposition to Pluto on May 20, and then the square to Jupiter on May 23, 2023, so we have this dynamic T-Square energy that is building up from Jupiter’s ingress on the 16th all the way until the end of the Month when Mars leaves the engagement range.
It is a HUGE day for astrologers! This is one of the biggest transits of the year.
So, we’re going to break all of this down a bit more…
What does Jupiter represent?
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth, abundance, hope, and broad vision and whichever house he will be traversing for the next year will point to the areas of your life where great blessings, good fortune, and redemption may occur.
Jupiter takes about 12 years to go around the Sun and as such, he spends about 10-12 months in each sign. He is the largest planet in our Solar System and has 95 known moons!
Jupiter’s time in Taurus may start with a bang! since he will be forming that square to Pluto and Mars shortly after entering the sign. Jupiter, Pluto, and Mars all together can signify something massive, something nuclear, and something forceful—literally or figuratively.
Jupiter in Aries has been about pioneering, trail-blazing, executing our sovereignty, and expanding our identities as individuals and as a society.
Jupiter in Taurus will be about our staying power, what we are building, creating, and nurturing. What we started in Aries, we now have to tend in Taurus and Jupiter can give us the opportunity to have the resources, the energy, and the vision to do so.
Jupiter’s Transition From Aries to Taurus As Symbolized By The Tarot
Each sign is made up of 30 degrees. Within each sign, there are three Minor Arcana cards that correlate to that sign: one to each “decan.” A “decan” is a 10-degree segment of a zodiac sign. Within each sign, there are three decans because there are three 10-degree divisions.
The three Aries decans correlate to the Two, Three, and Four of Wands in the Tarot pictured below.
The Two, Three, and Four of Wands symbolize inspired choices, overseeing commerce, starting a new adventure, and commencement: the celebration of the end of the achievement of a goal and the simultaneous beginning of a new chapter or a new direction.
Jupiter went into the last degree of Aries on May 12th, 2023, which just happened to also be the degree in which the Hybrid Solar Eclipse happened. So there could be a major feeling of commencement occurring with Jupiter’s ingress into Taurus. Something has been achieved, completed, or reached its natural end and now something new is beginning, starting, or taking the natural next step in the process.
The Four of Wands also correlates to Venus in Aries, a pioneering, independent, force that initiates and takes action.
Venus is the goddess of love and has to do with relationships, love, beauty, pleasures, sexuality, sensuality, and things of tangible value, like money, jewels, and fine art.
Aries is a cardinal sign meaning that it begins things, initiates, and deals with fast, acute, and impulsive situations and behaviors. It’s also a fire sign which signifies passion, enthusiasm, and things that are motivated by the spirit within.
When Venus is in Aries she is in the opposite sign to her home sign of Libra and so she may feel a little lost, distant, and out of sync with her true nature. She’s in the domicile of Mars, the god of war, anger, strife, and aggressive action, which are all very opposite to Venusian qualities, and thus she may feel more impulsive, aggressive, and extroverted.
So, there’s also this fiery goddess energy of Venus that we are leaving as Jupiter leaves the final degree of Aries to enter Taurus, which is a Venus-ruled sign. And Venus right now is in the exaltation of Jupiter, which is Cancer, and so they will enter into a very beneficial mutual reception—where they can give each other ample support.
Jupiter will ingress into the sign of Taurus on May 16, 2023, and then station retrograde on September 3, 2023, at 15°Tarurus 34’ and travel back to 05°Taurus 34’ and then station direct on December 30, 2023, finishing his time in Taurus on May 25, 2024, when he will leave Taurus and ingress into Gemini. Here is a graphic that I made of Jupiter’s time in Taurus over the next year.
The three decans of Taurus correlate to the Five, Six, and Seven of Pentacles in the Tarot which have to do with feeling in need and suffering, being able to share your wealth, and working hard toward a long-term goal.
The first card in the set is the Five of Pentacles and this card has a lot to do with feeling sorry for yourself and not noticing the resources that are right next to you. With Jupiter coming into this space, I feel like this is an indication of blessings in the form of help from others, gifts, and reinforcements that are coming, in whatever area of life this is for you.
This card also correlates with Mercury in Taurus, which he is currently in and just finished his retrograde.
Mercury is the messenger, the planet that is said to move between worlds, rising as the evening and morning star, multiple times per year. He governs communication, thinking, and transport.
In Taurus, Mercury focuses his attention on that which we are building, creating, and composing. Connecting all the dots so that we may thrive, flourish, and take root in our environments. A plant is only as healthy as the soil it is planted in, right? So, too are humans…they are only as healthy as their environment, so Mercury in Taurus communicates with the environment by gardening, nurturing relationships, and being sensual and passionate.
Horoscopes For All 12 Signs
Now let’s talk about the things we can expect for each of the 12 signs. This will make the most sense if you read your rising sign. If you do not know your rising sign, you can cast your chart for free online at many websites, here are a few of my favorites: CafeAstrology.com, Astro.com, and Astro-seek.com.
Aries
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your second house of money and possessions, so this could indicate a wonderful boost in fortune! You could experience an increase in wealth, money, or possessions. You could also learn a new skill, as the second house is also about skills that you use to support yourself. This is a big opportunity to invest in your powers of self-sufficiency and with Jupiter in your court, the sky is the limit!
Taurus
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your first house of self, health, identity, and personality. You may enjoy some blessings to your looks, or you may feel energetically on top of the world. Your identity could expand in some way that makes you really happy.

This is a huge opportunity for nurturing who you are and who you are becoming.
Gemini
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your twelfth house of self-undoing, solitude, confinement, and hidden enemies. Having Jupiter enter this house for the next year could be a major blessing and offer a redemptive quality. Since this is the house of our subconscious programs this next year you could see some real shifts as you rework a part of who you are to be more of who you’ve always wanted to be. This could be like shedding an old destructive habit and putting a new healthy habit in its place. This is a big opportunity for spiritual growth that can change your life for the better.
Cancer
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your eleventh house of friends, allies, hopes, and wishes and could indicate a friendship, network, or group that you are a part of growing and assuming a more influential role in your life. It could also mean a raise at work, winning some money, or receiving fortunate blessings from friends. This is a huge opportunity for stoking the fires of friendship and tending to the new and old friends that are important to you.
Leo

Virgo
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your ninth house of religion, belief systems, long-distance travel, foreigners, and higher education. You could expand your mind by learning about a new belief system or philosophy that intrigues you. Maybe you are even going to become more interested in Astrology! You may go on a lot of long-distance trips that nurture and expand your vision for life in some way. You could start a new educational program and invest in yourself. This is a really nice opportunity for pleasurable travel, expanding your heart and mind, and learning new things!
Libra
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your eighth house of shared resources, other people’s money, soul contracts, and investments. You could inherit a large sum of money or your partner could come into some money or investments. There could be good fortune in investing or wealth-creating opportunities with others. Your soul bonds that you share with people, like your family or your spouse, may get a boost of good energy that nourishes the bonds making them closer and more joyous. This is a great time to invest in the people you love and your legacy.
Scorpio
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your seventh house of relationships and legal partnerships. You could fall in love or if you are already in a relationship this could be a boost in your sensuality with your partner. There could be blessings with your business partnerships; you could get the deals you want or win the battle for something you’ve been working hard for. If you’re dealing with court drama, the judge could rule in your favor. This is a huge opportunity to share affection and dreams with your partner and focus more on the simple pleasures of life.
Sagittarius
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your sixth house of health issues, stress, and pets. This could actually be a really great blessing in that Jupiter brings positive, optimistic energy that renews hope and joy. So if you’ve been dealing with health issues or stress of some kind, Jupiter going through this house could indicate things getting better! This could also be a time when your pets are doing better and enjoying life more. If your pet has been having health concerns, this transit may signify things going in a new direction. This is a big opportunity to use the powerfully healing properties of Jupiter’s optimism and faith to help you handle stress.
Capricorn
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your fifth house of children, pregnancy, romance, recreational activities, and your creative expression. This transit could represent an abundance of creative energy and output. If you are trying for a baby, this could be a very fortuitous time to conceive. If you already have children, then maybe this is a time when you are expanding the fun and joyful pastimes that you have with them, making many fond memories over the year. Jupiter going through your fifth house of romance can also indicate a fun romantic experience could be on the horizon for you. This is an opportunity to be joyful, expressive, and optimistic in regard to children, romance, and what you do for fun.
Aquarius
Jupiter in Taurus will be in your fourth house of home, family, roots, and in traditional astrology the father. You could be expanding your home in some way or expanding your family. Maybe there’s a birth or a wedding and you are welcoming in new members. You could also move and go to a new place and this could be a joyous event that feels lucky.

Your daily route could get very busy and expand and grow for some reason. Maybe you have a new item to add to your routine that has you driving a lot more than usual. You might take a new course online or at your local community center that is rewarding. Perhaps your style of communication becomes bigger and better and your ability to write, tell stories, or communicate your ideas gets easier during this transit.

The Midheaven (MC) of the chart represents the most public point and when there are planets or stars close to the Midheaven, those planets or stars are culminating, coming to their highest journeys in the sky.
The fixed star Alcyone, according to Bernadette Brady in her book, Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars, has to do with “a very strong desire to seek inner knowledge” and was also associated with vision problems such as “blindness.” (Brady, 1998) With Alcyone conjoined to the Midheaven and very close to the Sun, who is at 25°Taurus, there definitely could be a feeling of “being blinded by the light,” going on. Something will become so clear with this transit that it is undeniably obvious.
On the flip side, the caution says Brady of Alcyone is allowing that “spiritual vision” to “turn judgemental and ruthless.” So, this star conjunct the Midheaven may bring greater vision and insight, but at the same time a rash, judgemental, and narrow-minded focus to something, making one “blind to the obvious.”
John Frawley, in the Horary Textbook, says of Alcyone, “This is the main star in the cluster that is the Pleiades, or the Weeping Sisters. Weeping is the main idea here: there will be regret; things will not turn out well. Like all star clusters, the Pleiades afflict the eyesight, so this may be an indication that whoever’s significator is on Alcyone cannot see clearly, or is deluded.” (Frawley, 2014, 127-128)
What this last bit tells me is that the Sun, the planet who is closest to Alcyone, who represents public figures, leaders, the President, Prime Minister, or King of a country, or any prominent authority figure, will be unable to see whatever is clearly evident.
So, this is an interesting feature of Jupiter’s ingress into Taurus that I thought was worth mentioning.
