Jupiter
Expansion. Travel. Higher learning. The places life gets bigger. Jupiter transits often feel optimistic, sometimes excessive.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion. Whatever Jupiter touches grows. Travel, higher education, foreign cultures, religious or philosophical questions, luck — all classical Jupiter territory. Modern astrology emphasises growth and possibility as the through-line.
Jupiter is slow. He moves about a sign per year, so his sign at any moment sets a longer-running theme. Jupiter in Aries amplified bold solo ventures; Jupiter in Taurus shifts emphasis to slow, sensual abundance.
In AIstra's forecasts Jupiter usually appears when the long-term backdrop matters, or when a faster planet aspects him exactly. Jupiter square Saturn: the famous expand-versus-consolidate dilemma. Jupiter trine Mercury: a good week for big-picture thinking. The trap with Jupiter is excess — too much of a good thing — which she flags when an aspect amplifies it.
