Vedic info (sidereal not tropical) from James Kelleher:
On November 20, 2021, Jupiter will enter Aquarius. This is a good thing for Jupiter, and a good thing for the rest of us as well. Since late March of 2020, Jupiter has been flirting with the sign of Capricorn. By virtue of going back and forth between retrograde and direct motion, Jupiter has been in Capricorn three times since March of 2020. Now it will finally pull away from its sign of debilitation and begin to regain its expansive energy.
As many of you know, in 2010, I helped my teacher, Sadguru Sivanandamurthy, to put on an international conference on mundane astrology (the astrology of the world) in India. At that conference, Sivanandamurthy predicted that, in 2020, dharma would be at a low point. In the Vedic tradition, dharma is the inherent nature of reality. It is the cosmic law that is at the basis of right behavior and social order. Jupiter is the planet that signifies dharma. It is weak in Capricorn, and has also been in a conjunction with Saturn, off and on, during the past couple of years. As a result, Sivanandamurthy predicted that there would be a world crisis in 2020.
Certainly, Sivanandamurthy’s prediction has taken place right on schedule. On the other hand, Jupiter’s entry into Aquarius should begin a slow process of increasing Jupiter’s beneficent energy. While it is in Aquarius, between November 20, 2021 and April 13, 2022, we should start to see signs of greater freedom in groups and a greater optimism in the mood of the masses. On April 13, 2022, Jupiter will enter Pisces and remain there for one year. Pisces is Jupiter’s home sign, so during that year, even more progress should be experienced.
Jupiter was briefly in Aquarius between April and September, but it only managed to cover the first eight degrees of Aquarius before going retrograde on June 12th. On November 20, however, Jupiter will begin a transit of Aquarius that be direct from start to finish. Now that’s how I spell astrological relief!
