Spring Forward, Fall Back

Jupiter is in the astrological news this week. Thursday Jupiter in Cancer ends a five-month retrograde (since November 2013). Jupiter is the personality-building helper (ruler) of Sagittarius. Jupiter is also the heart of the Aquarian Age. Receiving and distributing Ray 2 (Love/Wisdom) from a star in the Big Dipper, Jupiter at first expands us. Everything grows bigger. Then Jupiter blends dualities – head and heart, thinking and loving, above and below. The result is Wisdom.

In astrology charts, Jupiter manifests abundance and harmony. Jupiter is the Lord of Wisdom in Sagittarius, the Lord of Love in Pisces. At this time in world history, as the Aquarian Age unfolds daily, Jupiter, streaming forth from the heart of the Sun, is offering humanity unlimited gifts, opportunities and blessings that build the new world. Jupiter is blending the vast dualities within humanity. This fusion and blending at first creates great chaos and conflict. We are being led away from materialism and directed toward a “spiritual materiality,” an eventual state of oneness, stability and integration. Jupiter awakens us to the fact that “love underlies all happenings of all times.” A concept at first puzzling.

In personal and national horoscopes, Jupiter reveals spiritual purpose and develops Ray 2 (Love/Wisdom). When Jupiter is retrograde, the love/wisdom becomes known. We discover many things about ourselves. When Jupiter is direct, we put our love, wisdom and discoveries into action—altruistic, humanitarian, restoring life, changing the world around us—humanity’s task in the Age of Aquarius.

Sunday morning, 2am, Daylight Saving Time begins. We turn our clocks forward. “Spring forward and Fall back.” That’s how to remember.
