Jupiter Stationary amplifies the qualities of the sign it is transiting. Jupiter in Gemini expresses as a curious, enthusiastic, sometimes chaotic energy. Gemini is an air sign, and with this station the winds are blowing – both metaphorically and literally - in a swirling, ever-moving kaleidoscope. Ideas emerge and disappear, often before they are even recognized. There is constant movement – thoughts, experiences, and things emerge and fade away quickly. It feels like things are spinning out of control.
In some cases, they are. There is a quote from Mark Zuckerberg – “Move fast and break things.” Certainly, this applies to Jupiter stationary in Gemini. Gemini always moves fast – that’s part of the charm of this friendly, enthusiastic and curious sign. And, lying in its shadow, is a tendency to lose control of the narrative and get caught up in the spin cycle. An out-of-control spin cycle is inevitably going to break down and that is the energy of this present moment.
Added to the experience is the station of Pluto – planet of death and rebirth. Pluto is moving through Capricorn for the last time and will turn direct on October 11. The energy of the Lord of the Underworld is very strong at this time and his death eyes are trained on the structures of society.
In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Jupiter is Horus, the Young King. Gemini is allied with The Sphinx. The solution during this time is to step away and connect with energies from the Great Above. If the pressure feels unbearable – manifesting as anxiety and a sense of doom – use the breath (a Gemini tool) to find your center. There are times when the winds of change are greater than our own plans. This is one of them.
