00:00:55:13 – 00:01:20:02
Christopher
Now, Jupiter in astrology is the planet of good fortune and higher purpose. And as you can imagine, that makes Jupiter a pretty popular planet in astrology. Jupiter passes through every one of the 12 zodiac signs for the period of one year, which makes everyone sort of clap with joy and smile with glee in anticipation of when's it my turn?
00:01:20:05 – 00:01:48:12
Christopher
When Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and higher purpose, will be traveling through my zodiac side. Well, that lucky zodiac sign since May 25th has been Gemini's, and Gemini has been experiencing an uptick in fortune since May 25th of this year. And so this is a wonderful feeling. People often feel like, oh, all these things are going to go my way and things are going to turn out wonderfully.
00:01:48:14 – 00:02:14:15
Christopher
And for the most part, they do. But Gemini isn't the only zodiac sign that's been experiencing the uptick in fortune with Jupiter passing through it. Other zodiac signs have been experiencing it as well. Some signs, like for instance, the Earth signs like Libra and Aquarius have been feeling just as fortunate and have seen wonderful gains in their lives, as have the fire signs.
00:02:14:17 – 00:02:39:00
Christopher
But signs like the water signs, like perhaps cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and even Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. It's been a little bit more sketchy, shall we say. They they might have experienced an uptick in fortune, but they're not quite sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. The results might have been mixed, or maybe even some of these water and earth signs are wondering.
00:02:39:06 – 00:02:58:05
Christopher
Well, I guess I felt something, improve in my life, and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what. All right, so fortune isn't always something that we recognize when it comes into our lives. Sometimes we can say, oh, that's a good thing, and that's wonderful. Like, I don't know. I want a lottery ticket.
00:02:58:05 – 00:03:20:21
Christopher
This is great. Okay. And so we recognize good fortune when it shows up. At other times, fortune might show up as a cautionary tale, having protected us from a bad decision. And now that we've been protected from the decision, we've moved on to another predicament. You know, or fortune can even be something that shows up. But it's not what we were looking for.
00:03:20:22 – 00:03:42:17
Christopher
It's not what we were expecting. So we're kind of like, man, you know, I don't know if I really care about this or not. And sometimes it takes a loved one or a friend to point out. Listen, this was like a lucky break or. Listen, this really turned out well for you in the end. So it always takes, each one of us a little time to adjust to good fortune showing up.
00:03:42:21 – 00:04:03:18
Christopher
And as I said, if you're born under the zodiac sign of Gemini, you would have, experienced and recognized it, along if you were as well as if you were born under, air fire signs. But for the earth and water signs, it might have taken a little bit more time to figure out what exactly, was going in your direction.
00:04:03:20 – 00:04:35:05
Christopher
Now, one of the things that happens when a planet is traveling through a sign, inevitably, at some point, that planet is going to turn retrograde. Most of us are pretty familiar with what a retrograde means. I mean, Mercury retrograde is is is pretty famous. Okay. Mercury retrograde, we know, is a period of time, to, not sign a contract or to not, shake hands on a deal, because things might go south and things might turn out horribly.
00:04:35:06 – 00:05:02:12
Christopher
Mercury retrograde is famous for things like your coffeemaker breaking down or trouble with your transmission, or maybe, losing all of your computer files for some mysterious reason. So there's usually technical glitches during the period of time that Mercury is retrograde. And because Mercury has to do with transactions buying and selling. That's where the warning that one often hears about Mercury retrograde don't buy or sell during this period of time.
00:05:02:16 – 00:05:25:16
Christopher
That's where it comes from. Because Mercury is not only the planet of the mind, but it's also the planet of buying and selling. This is why we refer to Mercury as a transactional planet. So when Mercury is behaving itself, okay, that means moving forward in the sky. Transactions are going off. Well, you sign contracts and treaties.
00:05:25:16 – 00:05:47:11
Christopher
This is a wonderful thing. You explain your side of things, and people understand exactly what you're talking about. Your car behaves in your coffee maker is promptly making your coffee. Whenever you push that little button in the morning. But when Mercury is backwards, as I said, this is when there's a cosmic monkey wrench that's been thrown into the smooth, undertakings of your day to day life.
00:05:47:13 – 00:06:12:13
Christopher
So a retrograde basically refers to a backwards motion in the sky that's based on a planetary orbit. An optical illusion, than it is the planet actually moving backwards. Because as the planet moves backwards, we'd all be in a lot of trouble. But, that's basically what it refers to. The easiest way to think of a retrograde is the period of time when the planet is moving backwards in the sky.
00:06:12:15 – 00:06:34:11
Christopher
This is when the planet is, behaving in the opposite manner that it does when it's moving forward. Venus moving forward, for instance, is associated to, love and beauty because it's named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. So matches come together. Things are really beautiful. You go out dining and you have a wonderful meal.
00:06:34:13 – 00:07:01:14
Christopher
Venus, when she's retrograde and moving backwards in the sky. That's often associated to a lot of breakups, a lot of trouble in relationships. It's it's, associated to to poor, if not unsatisfactory, culinary experiences. You know, it's the things that give you. Delights aren't so delightful. When Venus is moving backwards in the sky. So when Jupiter is moving backwards in the sky, does this mean that.
00:07:01:16 – 00:07:23:10
Christopher
Well, if it's the planet of, good fortune, does that mean, like, you're going to be suffering from misfortune? Bad luck? Is that what is what's going to be going on? Is this when, if you won the lottery, you find out that it was all a fake or, you go through the money or there's all these, money, problems as a result.
00:07:23:10 – 00:07:52:00
Christopher
Like, think of what winning the lottery does to people's tax returns, things like that. You know, this can be a period of time when one might be like, you know, am I going through an unlucky patch? Am I going through a period of time of misfortune? That's not really how Jupiter works. When it turns retrograde. When it turns retrograde, there is this feeling of a change in the wind.
00:07:52:02 – 00:08:13:04
Christopher
Okay. Think of a sailing boat. Right? You. You open up the sail, the wind is at your back. It fills the sail, and your boat goes flying across the lake, you know, and you're like, hello, hello to other people in row boats who are like, oh, your your skiff is moving so speedily. Hello, hello. And you're like, anyway, I'm off.
00:08:13:04 – 00:08:35:08
Christopher
Okay. So so the wind is, you say, oh and you're, you're sailing rapidly across the lake or a body of water. And that would be analogous to what you're experience in your life. There's, there's this feeling of an opportunity having worked out or having gotten a break or something come your way. And, this is a good thing or wonderful thing, but it doesn't leave you stationary.
00:08:35:08 – 00:08:59:02
Christopher
We're talking about Jupiter here. Jupiter is, you know, planet associated with the wind. You know, it fills your sails. So there's a momentum of good fortune. You go flying off, you know, in a direction. And this is a wonderful thing. You, you you, you hope it lasts forever. You never want it to end. This, this this wonderful, wind of fortune, winds of fortune that have failed to sail.
00:08:59:03 – 00:09:28:10
Christopher
So when Jupiter slows to station retrograde and then begins to turn retrograde, it goes back over, the area of sky that it just crossed, okay. When it was moving tracks, there's this feeling that the winds have changed and that you've come to a standstill. You've come to, what they call a dead calm at sea where your vessel is not moving and you're not feeling like you're getting anywhere with it, you know?
00:09:28:10 – 00:09:52:12
Christopher
And so this can bring up a feeling of like, well, was I foolish to have believed in this? You know, was I naive? Was I gullible? You know, I can't believe that I was on a roll. And good fortune has left me. You know, now, for some people, their relationship to good fortune is pretty much that, you know, that, things were going my way.
00:09:52:14 – 00:10:12:05
Christopher
Now they're not going my way. And you know what? Easy come, easy go. You win some, you lose some. I'll move on to something else, you know? And it's very easy. They they, you know, they, they can be even good humored about, you know, things having slowed down and come to a standstill and, and a feeling of maybe I should hop off this, bus.
00:10:12:05 – 00:10:37:18
Christopher
It's not getting me where I want to go. All right? And, and and so they they move on. It's it's no real big deal. But for others of us who loved that feeling of exhilaration, you know, we loved where we were going. We loved the way that our horizons had been broadened. We we loved what that opportunity had given us.
00:10:37:21 – 00:11:05:11
Christopher
We love having met a certain someone, maybe romantically or or someone who kind of, like, changed our lives, changed our thinking. You know, maybe it's a teacher or mentor or or just a good, new good friend. You know, we love what that was, and we miss that the momentum has slowed, come to a standstill. We miss the wind that had filled our sales, and we don't want it to have gone away.
00:11:05:13 – 00:11:38:08
Christopher
You know? And so what do we do? Do we throw up our hands and say, well, that's it, or easy come, easy go? Or do we pursue what was available before, you know, didn't New life path open up? You know, in the weeks following May 25th, in which you saw yourself going in a new direction in which you were going in a new direction, and now the path has become overgrown, the path has become difficult to follow.
00:11:38:10 – 00:12:14:22
Christopher
Maybe three paths have branched off in different directions. Maybe it's completely covered by fall leaves and you have no idea where you are. Where are you going? This is when you decide if you want to persevere or not. This is when you want to decide if you want to pursue or not. Maybe you you met someone who was the love of your life, and then you found out they were involved in another relationship or, they had just gone bankrupt or they were going through a divorce or, you know, there were these complications that came in and complications that said, you know, it might be a better idea of passing on this, you
00:12:14:22 – 00:12:45:19
Christopher
know, and you decided, no, this is the love of my life. This someone that I really care about. I'm going to pursue this. This is what's called a leap of faith, okay? Jupiter is the planet of what we believe. You know, it's good fortune, it's higher purpose, but it's also what we believe that may be, an institutional belief, you know, like a doctrine or belief.
00:12:45:19 – 00:13:19:23
Christopher
A particular religion associated to a house of worship. Or it might be belief in terms of an alternative belief, an alternative spiritual belief, maybe one that's on the margins or isn't particularly popular. Maybe, it's a belief that people are good. Maybe it's a belief in ethics. Maybe it's a moral belief. You know, these are the things that Jupiter rules over these things that we're not going to get something tangible back for having believed in this, but it is connected to a higher purpose.
00:13:19:23 – 00:13:49:12
Christopher
It lifts our eyes. It lifts our sights out of our day to day transactional lives. And it makes us see things on a larger scale, in a bigger picture. It brings out hope. It brings out yearning. It brings out an optimism. It brings out a faith which can often be a very hard thing to describe outside of more, religious or poetic wording.
00:13:49:14 – 00:14:19:06
Christopher
So here with this Jupiter retrograde, with this, do you believe, which is really the question that the Jupiter retrograde is posing? Do you believe in this new path? Do you believe in this? Oh, do you believe in this opportunity? Okay. It's not do I believe in myself? It's. Do I believe in the workings of a universe or a god or a life force or whatever that's larger than me.
00:14:19:08 – 00:14:44:23
Christopher
That that, that was working in my life in a recognizable way has now departed. And do I believe still do I still want to pursue this path? This is the leap of faith. Where you where you leap into the dark. You you leap into the void. You have no idea whether this is going to work out or not.
00:14:45:01 – 00:15:02:13
Christopher
You want it to. You hope it. Well, you know, but there's no guarantee, you know, if you turn to friends or coworkers or people that you know in your life, loved ones, they may say, this is really silly, this is ridiculous. This is like, I can't believe you're going to see this person. They're getting out of a divorce.
00:15:02:13 – 00:15:22:21
Christopher
Don't you know that? Like, that's like the worst time to see someone or I can't believe that you're going to leave your job and what you're doing, and and you're going to pursue basket weaving. You know, it's, you know, what's come over you. What what what, how can you be so gullible? How can you be so naive?
00:15:22:21 – 00:15:50:02
Christopher
How can you walk out on these things that once meant so much to you? You know, beliefs aren't always congregational. You know, sometimes they're very solitary affairs. And during a Jupiter retrograde, it does become very solitary because Jupiter's asking you, do you believe? You know? And if you're like, I want to believe Jupiter will be like, not good enough.
00:15:50:04 – 00:16:05:19
Christopher
Do you believe, are you going to take that leap of faith? And that is going to be your story, your life story for the next four months, during the period of time that Jupiter is retrograde.

And now back to the episode.
00:16:31:00 – 00:16:57:16
Christopher
So what if you're born under the zodiac sign of Aries? How is this Jupiter retrograde in Gemini going to impact you? Well, when Jupiter entered Gemini on May 25th of this year, you might have been introduced to a new crowd, a new group of people to fraternize with, to hang out with. This might have been a result of a change in your relationship status.
00:16:57:18 – 00:17:21:03
Christopher
This might have been a change in your neighborhood. This might have been a change in your workplace. A revolving of the colleagues that you work with. A change in the staffing, the rank. Maybe new workers came in. Maybe you were the new worker who came in. So Jupiter in Gemini changed or altered the social landscape for you?
00:17:21:05 – 00:17:39:03
Christopher
A result of this would have been you feeling like you were connecting with people who really get you. Okay, that that you didn't have to try to explain your ideas. Everyone was like, oh, my God, I know exactly what you're talking about, you know? And they may be added things to it like, but what if we did this or that?
00:17:39:03 – 00:18:00:02
Christopher
Wouldn't that be so cool? And you're like, oh my God, that's so cool. You know that that might have been a result. Or maybe you began fraternizing with a group of people who really got where you're coming from. Maybe you've gone through a painful experience, a difficult time, and you were meeting people who had also gone through similar experiences.
00:18:00:04 – 00:18:16:20
Christopher
And instead of them giving you pep talks to get over it or whatever, they were like, that must have been really hard. That must have been really difficult. And you might have felt for the first time that you could really unburden yourself, or maybe you'd gone through difficult times, and the last thing you wanted to do was talk about a difficult times.
00:18:16:20 – 00:18:35:17
Christopher
You met, people were like, that's cool, I'm down with that. Let's like, go out and have fun. So. So Jupiter going into Gemini would have changed the social landscape of your life. You might have been recognized, by by a new group of people in a way that you hadn't been recognized by the old ones who had gotten used to you, you know.
00:18:35:17 – 00:18:56:19
Christopher
So so they saw you with fresh eyes and they valued you in a new and different ways. And you might have felt since May, like, I'm really on a roll here. This is really great. I don't have to explain myself or if I don't want to talk about myself, I'm not dealing with someone who's confronting me about it, dealing with someone who's like, okay, that's cool, let's chill.
00:18:56:19 – 00:19:24:21
Christopher
Let's let's hang out. You know? So this is a wonderful thing. You might have also been praised for your talents and abilities and skills and opinions that might also have come as a result of Jupiter in Gemini. Gemini is a very conversational sign. All right, so when Jupiter turns retrograde on October 9th, it's a little bit like the champagne the morning after all.
00:19:24:21 – 00:19:43:03
Christopher
Right. So when you when you open up a bottle of champagne, it's wonderful. It smells great. It's effervescent. You pour it into classes, people get on, they feel luxurious. All right. But let's say there is a bottle of champagne that made it to the morning after or whatever. And it's not effervescent. It doesn't taste like it did before.
00:19:43:05 – 00:20:07:15
Christopher
It's kind of like something you use in mimosas now or mixed with something, but. But it's not what it what it was. And that's kind of what I'm trying to describe here. A little bit of the feeling of the honeymoon being over, that the effervescent effervescence isn't as bubbly, the excitement of being with new people isn't as, as animating as it was before.
00:20:07:17 – 00:20:38:24
Christopher
I'm not saying that things have become old hat, but things have become familiar. You know, it's not what it was before. And so there's a loss of momentum. There's a loss of, you know, excitement, anticipation of, like, going and meeting with, with with your new friends again and what may start to happen is that the nature of the fraternity of, of of keeping company with this, group of people, the nature of it may be changing.
00:20:39:01 – 00:20:59:16
Christopher
It's a little bit, actually. It's a bit like falling in love with someone and being infatuated with them. They can do no wrong. And then there comes a period of time when the infatuation ends and you can see the things that are wrong. And you might be wondering, what are you doing with this person? Or can I go back to where we were before?
00:20:59:20 – 00:21:22:21
Christopher
Okay, this is what's kind of going on right, right now or will be going on. And so you may feel like, well, I feel taken for granted again. I feel like I'm not recognized or seen again or or, you know, this, it just doesn't have the thrill that it, that it once had. And so maybe, maybe that's it.
00:21:22:23 – 00:21:43:24
Christopher
Maybe that's all there, all there is to this sort of a situation. What's happening here with the Jupiter retrograde is Jupiter's asking you, do you believe in these people? Do you believe in these friendships because it can't always stay first date. You know, or high school prom, you know, for the entire friendship, things are going to come up.
00:21:44:04 – 00:22:03:19
Christopher
The friend may not be there for you in the way that they were there for you before. They may take things for granted and in a way that you felt, you know, you were being looked at, you know, really freshly, they may even say things that are a little bit off, maybe a little bit cutting, maybe a little bit irritated.
00:22:03:21 – 00:22:25:15
Christopher
You know, you may feel like, you know, am I getting on their nerves or something like this? So what this is really about is like, you've entered into a new play area and you've you've been accepted, but you're not the new fresh energy that you were before. And how are you as an Aries going to react to that?
00:22:25:17 – 00:22:53:12
Christopher
You know, are you going to be like, you know, I'm still as fresh and fun as I was before, or are you going to get Marcy about it, or are you going to be, you know, like loudly complaining like, well, I used to be the fresh, you know, face that was before, you know, now you or can you perhaps even relax into it, you know, or or can you, you know, if you're seeing sides of people that you hadn't seen before, are they appealing or they like to turn off?
00:22:53:14 – 00:23:14:01
Christopher
And if they're a off, was this a mistake to fraternize with this group of people, or are you being asked to take these friendships to a deeper level? So this is what you're going to be struggling with at first, you may feel like you don't really belong. You're not really quite sure. Or maybe this was an infatuation you woke up from.
00:23:14:03 – 00:23:34:20
Christopher
But over the time of this Jupiter retrograde, I think, which is four months, I think you're going to see sides of people that might not have that kind of track to what you first fell in love with, but at the same time make them more human. You know, they it's the golden idol that's got clay feet. You know, you're going to see the clay feet.
00:23:34:22 – 00:23:56:16
Christopher
And what's your reaction going to be to the clay feet? Clay feet. I want nothing to do with you. Or like clay feet. You're only human like I am only human, you know? So this is what's going on. So I don't think the idea is to abandon this new group of people. It may even get a little threatening, because there might be a new face that gets introduced and you might feel like old hat, you know?
00:23:56:16 – 00:24:19:18
Christopher
So this is really about asking, do you feel like you belong? Because a lot of times, you know, we think other people are responsible for us feeling like we belong, but sometimes it's up to us to feel like we belong. Sometimes it's up to us to take off the coat and take off the shoes and sit down and make ourselves at home for a while.
00:24:19:20 – 00:24:47:18
Christopher
Instead of entering into a room with the coat and the shoes still on, giving the impression to everyone that you're not here to stay. So these are the kind of ideas that I want you to mull over as Jupiter is turning retrograde in Gemini and think, you know, and to ask yourself, you know, does belonging have to also do with me, me extending myself in such a way to, to belong or to to to keep this company with this group of people?
00:24:47:20 – 00:25:06:15
Christopher
That's something that I think that you're going to be dealing with for the next four months. And I also feel like it's something that you could find very enlightening. Now let's go ahead and talk about the zodiac sign of Taurus and what Jupiter entering the zodiac sign of Gemini, what kind of impact that it would have had on you.
00:25:06:15 – 00:25:34:09
Christopher
If you're a Taurus now, Jupiter entering Gemini means that it entered that part of your solo chart, which has to do with finances. And because Jupiter is a planet that believes in making things bigger and better, you might have experienced, your finances taking on a sort of bigger and better proportion. That might be an uptick in customers and uptick in clients.
00:25:34:11 – 00:25:54:05
Christopher
There might have been, rush on the things that you're selling, or you might have found yourself suddenly in demand and demand, and that may be connected with an influx of finances that's been coming into your life since May 25th. Now, we often think that good fortune is a wonderful thing that comes into our lives. And isn't this great?
00:25:54:05 – 00:26:24:20
Christopher
I can't believe my good fortune. But one of the questions that's always been asked about good fortune for centuries now is, does good fortune make you a better person? Right. We have seen many instances in which good fortune has not made someone a better person. In fact, good fortune has actually brought out some of their bad habits or not such appealing sides.
00:26:24:22 – 00:27:03:04
Christopher
So what I want you to ask yourself, as Jupiter turns retrograde, it turns backwards on October 9th. And you're feeling, you know, very swelled. You know, the sails are full of your good fortune. And as it turns backwards, that might be associated to a drop in momentum. You know, you might, experience a drop in revenue or finances that are coming into your life, and that might be something that causes you great anxiety, but you may also experience people not being as into your good fortune as they were before.
00:27:03:06 – 00:27:23:16
Christopher
You know, maybe as the good fortune was coming in and there was an uptick in customers, clients and, and, and an improvement in revenue, people were like really, really excited, you know, and they're like, that's so great. I'm so happy for you. That's great. But maybe good fortune has brought out some not so appealing habits or sides of you.
00:27:23:22 – 00:27:46:21
Christopher
Like, how are you handling your good fortune? Has Jupiter in Gemini made you too bossy? Jupiter in Gemini made you too grabby. Has Jupiter in Gemini made you too full of yourself? You know, like I'm the one who's paying these paying the bills here and, So I expect you to do exactly what I say when I say it, you know?
00:27:46:21 – 00:28:12:10
Christopher
Is it brought out those, parts of you what you want to do when, you're experiencing good fortune in your life like this, is you want to stay humble. All right. Because humility actually is always a good thing. But it's especially good when when you're going through an upturn in fortunes in your life. But what you also want to do is share.
00:28:12:12 – 00:28:38:14
Christopher
You want to share the spoils, the fruits of your victory. Now, sharing is always a bit of a touchy word for people born under Taurus. They don't share very well. The Taureans are very turf oriented. And they are associated with the word mind, you know, and, and they don't really share. Now, that doesn't mean that they hold back.
00:28:38:16 – 00:29:05:05
Christopher
It means that basically they'll go and get something for someone else, but they're not going to give away what it is that they had. The Jupiter in Gemini could make you a little bit on the well, why should I give this away? I've I've done this myself. I've worked really hard. I'm experiencing, you know, this good fortune, you know, and and I would say, well, do you really want to become the next Jeff Bezos, you know?
00:29:05:10 – 00:29:49:12
Christopher
Or do you want to become the next Elon Musk? People who are known for their philanthropy and giving. All right. So, you know, the money might look good when you hear about it, but when you see what it's term them into anyhow, what you might consider doing is, sharing what you've gained, sharing the rewards that you've gained, sharing with people who helped you to get there, sharing with people who, worked very hard to to for you, to get you up to where you are, maybe even sharing with people who had nothing to do with with what's come into your life.
00:29:49:14 – 00:30:16:17
Christopher
But giving back. Jupiter is very much a planet associated with paying it forward, you know, paying for it. Like if there's a good deed done for you, paying that forward to someone else with no, expectation of reciprocity or being rewarded in turn. And this is a wonderful thing. This is how Jupiter really spreads its benevolence in the world.
00:30:16:19 – 00:30:54:19
Christopher
But on a practical level, on a practical level, let's think of, I don't know, lions in the wild. All right. When a lion takes down a gazelle and eats it, and the whole pride, you know, engages in it, well, lions kind of make a point of also leaving behind some of the carcass, for other animals to come and have, you know, and and it's done because it creates and it's done because when the animals circling are looking for their piece of meat or whatever, if it's been done on a regular basis, they know that once the lions leave, they can get that piece of meat.
00:30:54:19 – 00:31:22:12
Christopher
And that's good. So they're not like snapping at the, at the heels all the time. So if you do that, if you share some of your benevolence or your benefits, the good things that have happened to you, it's it's not only a good thing to do, but it also keeps the hyenas away. It keeps the hyenas from snapping at your heels and allows you to enjoy the good fortune that has come into your life.
00:31:22:14 – 00:31:49:05
Christopher
Now, if you're born under the zodiac sign of Gemini, and Jupiter has been in your sign since since May 25th, I would imagine that you have seen things, you know, gone in a wonderful direction for you. Again, I don't mean to say that everyone's going to win a lottery ticket when they have Jupiter going through their sign. The benefits might be big and they also might be small and modest.
00:31:49:07 – 00:32:20:12
Christopher
What's nice is there are benefits. What's nice is that there are good things coming into your life. This is always a really lovely and pleasant thing. Another factor to Jupiter that I want to share with you is that we know that Jupiter is the planet of good fortune and higher purpose. Jupiter is also the protector planet. It comes from Greek mythology, where Jupiter, who's based on the Greek god Zeus, was the protector of the polis.
00:32:20:12 – 00:32:46:02
Christopher
He was the protector of the Greek city state. All right, if you if you fell under his protection and benevolence, you didn't have to worry about enemies coming in and destroying your city and running away with all of your things. I mean, Jupiter was kind of like this enormous shield, all right. And, the planet Jupiter in our solar system does the same exact thing.
00:32:46:04 – 00:33:17:24
Christopher
It is, the largest planet in our solar system. And because it's the largest planet in our solar system, it takes all the hits. As I like to say, it takes all the hits from the meteors and the asteroids and the space debris that come tumbling down, you know, into our solar system from Lord knows where, you know, and they're drawn into the, the gravitational pull of, of Jupiter, and they smash against Jupiter and it takes the hits it, it defends US planets inside the orbit of Jupiter.
00:33:18:01 – 00:33:48:01
Christopher
And it's like this marvelous, shield. This this, this orb, this dome of protection. And so, you know, and of course, it begs the question, If Jupiter weren't there, you know, would we, like, exist and probably not, because those would all be hitting us and instead. So Jupiter has that same function in an astrological chart. It is a planet of patronage, a planet of sponsorship, but also a planet of protection.
00:33:48:03 – 00:34:12:00
Christopher
When Jupiter turns retrograde, it slows the momentum of good fortune coming into your life. It also removes the protection. All right, now you might be like, oh my goodness, you know, this is, What a horrible thing no one is to come out of retrograde again. Comes out of retrograde on February 4th, 2025. But you know and you my protection.
00:34:12:02 – 00:34:41:04
Christopher
But by removing the protection, Jupiter is asking if you can stand on your own two feet. Okay, are you in a position where you can stand on your own two feet? Think of cubs. Chicks? Baby animals. Okay, there's a period of time when they are protected by their parents. They're protected by their pride. They are protected in the nest.
00:34:41:06 – 00:35:04:01
Christopher
And they grow and they foster. And Jupiter is a planet of growth, you know, it fosters growth. Jupiter. This is what it does. But then it reaches a point where that chick needs to leave the nest, so to speak. Right. And so and so that's what Jupiter's kind of doing. It's kind of it's kind of removing its protection.
00:35:04:03 – 00:35:25:23
Christopher
It's removing its parental orb that it put down around you. And it's saying it's time for you to fly. Now, if you've ever watched one of those nature shows, you know, the chicks don't suddenly like spring wings and go flying. You know, more often than not, they take leaps of faith. They jump, they fall, they tumble out.
00:35:26:04 – 00:35:46:24
Christopher
They kind of look like, tennis balls falling out of, out of a bag. They fall out of the nest. And, you know, their bodies are, constructed in such a way that they don't go splat, that they, you know, sort of, you know, come floating or have floating down to the ground or whatever. And it's time to live their life.
00:35:47:01 – 00:36:11:17
Christopher
What Jupiter is doing is that it's saying, I've given you the support I've given you this protection. I'm now removing it. You're going to stand on your own for about four months here, you know. Then I'm going to come back and and help you out. It's going to be there for you. But now I've removed this and I want to see how fit you are to do this, you know, how much have you, matured?
00:36:11:20 – 00:36:39:10
Christopher
How much have you grown as a person? You know, sometimes when good fortune comes into your life, it can make you very complacent. And you don't grow as a person, you know? Sometimes, good fortune is can help you grow as a person if you're partnering with good fortune. You know, if you're saying, okay, I got this break, I got this scholarship, I got this, you know, means to move to the next level.
00:36:39:12 – 00:37:02:14
Christopher
And so I'm going to bring what I can do to the next level as well. I'm growing with my fortune. I'm investing in my good fortune by investing my time, my energy. I'm not just sort of like taking it and asking, what's the universe going to do for me? Type of thing. So that's why Jupiter's removing this, this this protection to see how well you do on your own.
00:37:02:16 – 00:37:27:23
Christopher
Now, you can not leave the nest. Okay? You you can decide not to leave the nest. You can decide just to sort of wait out the next four months and go back to what your life was before. When Jupiter resumes its journey through your sign. Or you can sort of see how well you do on your own, and you can see how how much you believe in your judgment.
00:37:28:00 – 00:37:51:19
Christopher
You know, Jupiter is a plant planet associated with judges and judgment. Do you trust your own judgment on something that might be something to really keep in mind over the next four months, and you can't trust your judgment on something if you're always checking in with other people, you know you have to. You have to commit to the judgment that that that you're making, and you have to see how that works out.
00:37:51:21 – 00:38:18:24
Christopher
And that's really, I think, the best way to address the next four months. Commit to that. And I think you'll be very happy with what you see, about your life and about yourself. When Jupiter comes out of retrograde on February 4th, 2025. Now, for people born under cancer, this Jupiter in Gemini has been really kind of fascinating for you.
00:38:19:01 – 00:38:56:16
Christopher
It's, I see the good fortune and the growth more as being perhaps internal and psychological, maybe even spiritual, than I do in it being external or, or being, associated to, circumstances in your life. Jupiter, as I have mentioned before, in some of the other song descriptions, Jupiter is a planet of growth, you know, there's a word that that astrologers will often use, which is it's the planet of expansion.
00:38:56:18 – 00:39:17:17
Christopher
I will tell you that that never really worked for me because it was like expansion. Like that, like expanding waistline, like what's expanding here. And then that would be like growth. Well, what kind of growth is taking place here? Like a like a mold growing on my face or something. Like what kind of growth are we? Are we talking about?
00:39:17:19 – 00:39:50:07
Christopher
There is a maturity growing in terms of maturity is very much associated with Jupiter. Okay. Sort of coming into one's own. And that's my feeling of the way that Jupiter and Gemini has been working in your astrological chart. We kind of think that we transition from a child to an adult once. Okay? And that's called adolescence. Okay?
00:39:50:07 – 00:40:13:18
Christopher
You, you you make that transition from a kid and go through adolescence and, and then you're a young adult and then you're an adult. And we do that once and and typically in, in social rituals here. It's the idea that, you know, you start as a toddler and go to school and you meet other kids and, and then it's time for you to leave the nest and find your own way.
00:40:13:18 – 00:40:34:12
Christopher
And that's kind of like, really frightening and hard and, and things like that. But. And your family is supportive of you anyway. But you, you make your way out of the world. You establish yourself and, you know, start your own home, start your own career. You're an adult. Okay, that's kind of like the typical archetypal motif of that.
00:40:34:14 – 00:41:13:11
Christopher
We don't do that just once. Okay. We might do that once physically, you know, like physically you go through adolescence once and, that's we might do it physically, but we don't do that psychologically. Right. And so what I see happening is that there's been a lot of, I guess, what would be called nowadays personal growth. Since Jupiter entered, Gemini on May 25th, certainly, a lot of psychological or spiritual growth for you, as a cancer, has this been associated to good things?
00:41:13:13 – 00:41:42:22
Christopher
Not necessarily. Gemini some forms, the same sextile to cancer. It, it sits beside cancer in a very sort of what's considered a weak spot, a blind spot in an astrological chart. And it's also been traveling through the solar 12th house. So this might have been a time that's been associated with loss. You know, this might have been a time that's been associated with separation or saying goodbye.
00:41:42:24 – 00:42:11:14
Christopher
And so there may be, you know, a very powerful or strong emotional response. Now, the separation could just be like, you know, my best friend just moved to another state. I'm going to miss him. You know, it can be that. Or it could be something that's much more, painful. But what may have happened is that you might have found yourself longing to go back again.
00:42:11:16 – 00:42:31:01
Christopher
You know, you might have found yourself longing to go back to being a kid again, or longing to go back to your friendship again, or. Or a relationship that's over again, or longing to go back to a job that's over again, you know? Just can I return? Can I just make everything go back to the way that it was?
00:42:31:03 – 00:43:06:20
Christopher
Or it may be a feeling that your reactions to changes in your professional status or your relationship status or your emotional state, your emotional state that these changes maybe, perhaps losses have brought out a younger you. You know, and maybe you've responded with an infantile rage. Maybe you've responded with a child's helplessness, maybe you've responded, feeling like, I can't take this.
00:43:06:20 – 00:43:34:06
Christopher
I'm not big enough for this. I'm not grown up enough for this. You know, I'm not ready for this. I'm not prepared for this. Why? Why am I being asked, you know, to to grow in this way? Why does growth have to be associated with loss or with pain or difficulty? And so this may be how you're starting off this Jupiter retrograde.
00:43:34:08 – 00:44:00:07
Christopher
In Gemini. Now, I would imagine there's still a Jupiter in aspect in terms of like the light at the end of the tunnel, this loss and this feeling of just like, I don't know if I can live without this or I don't know whether I'm outfitted to go further may also be associated with something that's sort of standing on the other side waving to you.
00:44:00:08 – 00:44:26:10
Christopher
Okay. It's, what am I trying to communicate? Some sort of cosmic carrot is being dangled in front of you. All right, there's an opportunity. There's somewhere where you want to go, and and and, and and it's being used to sort of get you to leave your kennel or to leave your safe space. And you're not quite sure if you can do it.
00:44:26:12 – 00:44:49:11
Christopher
So there's still this dangling carrot, but you have to leave your safe space. It puts me in mind of, those nature shows where they reintroduce animals to the wild, you know? And one might be just chuckles. I think they were reintroducing wolves to the wild. You know, they brought the truck out and, you know, it was covered with tarps and things like this.
00:44:49:11 – 00:45:04:23
Christopher
And and they opened up the tarps and, and there's this beautiful view of Yosemite, you know, or something like that, you know, like, like if you were a wolf, you would want to go bounding out, you know, it's, you know, it's the air smells fresh or whatever. And this is great. The wolves weren't having any of it, okay.
00:45:05:00 – 00:45:26:16
Christopher
They were not interested. And, they were staying inside the truck and, and it was like, you know, and everyone's, like, both return to nature. This is, you know, this is where your instincts are going to sing and click in and, they weren't having any of it. They were hanging out in the back of the truck.
00:45:26:18 – 00:45:47:24
Christopher
And I think it took them hours. Maybe it took evening and following and maybe the following morning. Whatever. Before the wolves sniffed, you know, and came to the end of the truck and, and kind of like jumped on out, and, and kind of like loped along and found their way. That's kind of where I see you concerned right now.
00:45:48:00 – 00:46:24:07
Christopher
It's like you can't go back. You have to come out of the safe space you're feeling. You know, maybe like, I don't know if I'm up to this, you know, you you may be feeling very childlike or adolescent, you know, in terms of helplessness or reaction or something like that. And Jupiter is kind of like nudging you to leave the truck to go back out into the world, you know, and and it's doing it also with dangling a carrot on the other side, you know, so that you have to go and, and do that.
00:46:24:09 – 00:47:09:00
Christopher
So you're getting some sort of extra cosmic help here. But what I want to say to you is you have four months of Jupiter retrograde. All right. So you've got four months to sniff the air in the back of the truck, you know, and see if that's what you really want to do. But I feel given, you know, if you're given your time and if you're given your space to do this, not only will you eventually do it, but you'll find that this is a direction in life that you're going in, which you're going to feel very enlivened and very fulfilled and very happy with the path that you have chosen for yourself.
00:47:09:02 – 00:47:36:07
Christopher
If you're a Leo, then Jupiter in Gemini has brought some really wonderful things for you. I mean, it's brought in breaks, it's brought in opportunities. It's, opened up, ways that you can move yourself further, higher in your life. Okay. It's it's been very promoted and it's been also very supportive of that, promote of energy that's going on.
00:47:36:09 – 00:48:10:21
Christopher
That's because Jupiter in Gemini forms the sextile to Leo and, because Gemini comes before Leo in the zodiac. Remember that, Gemini is associated to late May, June, and that's earlier in the calendar year than Leo, which is late July to August. So that's why we say it comes earlier than, than Leo. That means that Jupiter is behind you in the sextile, which means that this is a supportive sextile that's taking place.
00:48:10:23 – 00:48:40:08
Christopher
Okay? It's gently behind you and moving you forward in your life, but are you moving forward under your own steam now? What Jupiter has probably also done is that it's probably introduced mentors, coaches, people who see something in you that's unique, different. That's very talented. People who want to, make introductions for you. They want to promote you.
00:48:40:10 – 00:49:01:04
Christopher
They may be people who are like, you know what? I have a friend who's very influential. Let me introduce you to her. Or, you know, I think you're really terrific. Let me introduce you to someone who could really coach you or hone your abilities. Your talents and your skills. Or. This is a wonderful, idea. I think it's a big moneymaker.
00:49:01:10 – 00:49:22:21
Christopher
I can't do anything with it. But let me put you in contact with a company that can. I think they're really going to go for what? You're what? You're pitching that sort of a thing. So there's a bit of a community or other people coming around. So. So coming around to your side of doing things to support you and what you're doing.
00:49:22:23 – 00:49:46:22
Christopher
So it's not purely leonine in that performing way, you know, where you step out on the stage and you know, you sing or you perform and the crowd goes crazy and that it's not that you're working in conjunction with other people to promote yourself, okay? Other people are opening the doors, other people are coaching you, other people are guiding you.
00:49:47:02 – 00:50:10:06
Christopher
Other people are giving you advice. And this this is wonderful. You know, you may feel very much like, you know, Audrey Hepburn and and, My Fair Lady, you know, after she's met, the professor, Henry Higgins, you know, where she's been cultivated and trained, and now she can present herself and society, you know, sort of thing.
00:50:10:08 – 00:50:42:19
Christopher
Now, what's happening is that Jupiter is turning retrograde on October 9th, and it's going to remove that support of energy. Okay, maybe the patrons aren't as available as they were before. Maybe the coach is saying to you, I've taught you everything I can do for you. You need to be on your own right now. Maybe someone who's been a mentor, feels like, you know, you're ready to really make your own way here.
00:50:42:21 – 00:51:00:13
Christopher
So there's going to be this feeling of a removal of support. You know, before, people were, like, believing in you and praising you and going on about these things and really showing you tips and how you could do things. And now they're not going to be doing that. Now. It's not because they're picking up their toys and leaving the sandbox.
00:51:00:15 – 00:51:30:12
Christopher
They're not going to be doing that because you need to go the next distance. Okay. Here. And so with this Jupiter retrograde, which lasts for months, it gives you it's kind of the word that comes to mind is really marinating. And it's marinating in the juices of everything you've learned. It's marinating in the juices of everything you've absorbed.
00:51:30:14 – 00:52:03:13
Christopher
Think of like a mentor. Let's take that as an idea. Let's say someone is teaching you writing and, you were writing and it was great, but you're still doing it with the mentors voice or the mentors guidance or the mentors approval. You weren't doing it for yourself yet. Okay, so so this Jupiter retrograde is almost like the removal of the training wheels from a bike where you need to ride on your own, but you're not quite ready for riding on your own yet.
00:52:03:13 – 00:52:38:01
Christopher
That's going to be February. This is more about absorbing and taking in what you've what you've gained. All right, so this is more of an absorbing and the juices, absorption of the experiences. And then as you absorb this, it's not imitating. It's finding the way that and finding your voice, finding the way that you would do this, you know, you can work under the tutelage of someone who's creative.
00:52:38:01 – 00:53:14:10
Christopher
You can work under the tutelage of someone who's athletic. But in the end, you're singing the song. In the end, you're kicking the soccer ball. All right. So you're going to do it in your own style, your own way, in your own body, in your own place. So this may be a period of time where you're absorbing, but also practicing what it is that you do and prepping, prepping for when Jupiter, turns direct again in February, which might actually be more associated to your debut than than the now.
00:53:14:12 – 00:53:37:07
Christopher
So don't kind of like be the lead singer looking around for the backup singers behind you. All right. Like trust in your own voice. Or as, Shirley Partridge says in the first episode of The Partridge Family, when when the kids are going to sing and the curtain comes up and they're like, petrified, she's like, close your eyes, kids, and imagine yourself back in the garage.
00:53:37:09 – 00:54:04:17
Christopher
And they do. And they imagine themselves that their instruments back in the garage, they open their eyes and they can play their first performance. Okay. It's it's it's like that. Okay? It's like you closing your eyes and reconnecting to why you're doing what you're doing, how you're doing what you're doing. Let that lead you forward, because now you're your best guide, and you're embodying what it is that you do.
00:54:04:19 – 00:54:28:07
Christopher
Let that lead you forward. And this leap of faith is going to feel more like, a hop, skip and a jump. For those of you born under Virgo, Jupiter happens to be at a very prominent place in your stellar horoscope. When I think of this, you know it's a Jupiter is very much going to be associated with accomplishment here.
00:54:28:07 – 00:54:59:11
Christopher
It's going to be associated with status. Your status may have improved in your life since, of May, 25th of this year. But you may also have realized a goal you may have gotten something that you wanted, might have been a promotion, a raise, some sort of raising of status in your life. And so the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Jupiter in this place for you, Virgo, is be careful what you wish for, because it might just come true.
00:54:59:13 – 00:55:19:09
Christopher
Now, that's usually shared with people as a cautionary tale. You know, a sort of like, you know, you better watch out. You know, you get, you know, better watch out for what you wish for because it might happen. And and there's almost a kind of warning feeling to, to that. And I kind of want to shift and change that a little bit for you.
00:55:19:09 – 00:55:45:14
Christopher
As I describe Jupiter turning retrograde in Gemini, it looks like you have accomplished something. It looks like you have, achieved something that's been very, very important to you. And with Jupiter, turning retrograde in the sky, it might be more along the lines of a dawning realization. I want to share with you a very quick story, if I may.
00:55:45:16 – 00:56:05:06
Christopher
My husband is the artistic director of a ballet company, and I remember that a number of years ago, he promoted, dancer to a principal dancer. She got there, she got principal dancer, which in a ballet company is like, the best thing you can get. It's like the highest thing. And she had aspired for this for a long time.
00:56:05:06 – 00:56:33:02
Christopher
She'd trained for this for a long time. She'd worked for this for a long time, you know, and she was very, very happy about this. And, and he was happy that she was a principal, you know? So it was like mutual happiness for everyone all around. But what she began to notice, you know, when she would look at the rehearsal schedules and things like that is that she didn't get as much rehearsal time, as the corps de ballet did.
00:56:33:06 – 00:56:54:24
Christopher
Corps de ballet is the group of female dancers that, you know, have to work as a group, an ensemble. It's not quite like synchronized swimming, but it's close and in tutus. Okay, that's probably a good way to think of it. The ballerina stands out and does all these beautiful things. She wasn't getting as much time as the corps de ballet was getting.
00:56:54:24 – 00:57:19:03
Christopher
She wasn't getting as much time, in the studios with with other people as the demi soloists were getting. In fact, her time had gotten a lot shorter, and it got a lot more intense, you know? And so she was starting to feel a lot of this pressure. It was kind of like, well, I thought that when I became principal dancer, you would be paying attention just to me.
00:57:19:03 – 00:57:47:17
Christopher
And so she actually sat down and she had that conversation with him. She was like, I became principal. I thought you'd be giving me all this time and attention. And he said to her, I value you as a principal dancer. I think you're doing wonderfully as a principal dancer. But when you become a principal dancer, the understanding is you don't need that kind of time and attention.
00:57:47:19 – 00:58:25:10
Christopher
You're going to do it yourself. You know, you don't need to be coaxed into taking ballet class. You don't need to, develop technique and things like this. You are drawing on your experience and your expertise. And so what it is, is that you get shorter time because we can rely on you more. You know, we know that you will have done this work on your own, that you will have figured out, how are you going to dance this so that when you come in for your rehearsal time, it's more refining what you've brought to the, performance or what you've brought to the rehearsal.
00:58:25:14 – 00:58:52:05
Christopher
More refining and more attention on specifics and on details. His point was, really, you don't need the timing attention that to ballet needs. You don't need the time and attention and support that demi soloists and soloists need, because they're on a lower level than you. They expectation is that now that you've reached this, you're self sufficient. You can do that on your own.
00:58:52:07 – 00:59:10:05
Christopher
And she said, but I feel like all this pressure and it's like, yeah, that's the point of being, principal ballet ballerina, that there is going to be a lot of pressure on you, and there's also going to be the additional pressure on you to be a role model for everyone else. So you don't get to lose your temper.
00:59:10:05 – 00:59:31:18
Christopher
You don't get to not show up. You don't get to misbehave. And he shared with her. And that's part of the reason, a big part of the reason why I chose you as principal. I know that you could be a good role model for everyone else, and I know that you're not going to waste our time with his events, and that you're going to be focused on what what it is that you do.
00:59:31:20 – 00:59:49:08
Christopher
And she said, you know, I feel all of this pressure kind of like more pressure than I did before. And he said, and I think you're going to be great. I believe in you. I think you're going to be an amazing principal dancer. And it was a little rocky, you know, when she stepped up to the plate in this position.
00:59:49:08 – 01:00:17:22
Christopher
But she flourished. She was absolutely wonderful. And and this is what the Jupiter retrograde is going to do. It's going to be this realization that it's all kind of on me right now where I don't get the time that that that other people get with things that that there are greater expectations made of me. But because Jupiter has been in this part of your chart since May 25th, you're going to find that you're more than ready to step up to the plate.
01:00:17:24 – 01:00:43:07
Christopher
You're going to find that in the most beautiful way that you will be rising to the occasion of yourself. If you're born into the zodiac sign of Libra, then Jupiter entering Gemini on May 25th has been a wonderful thing for you. I mean, think about it. The world, the world has changed in so many ways since Jupiter entered the zodiac sign of Gemini.
01:00:43:08 – 01:01:10:15
Christopher
May 25th. Gemini has an air sign just like Libra, so that creates a trine. In astrology, the energy of one sign is transmitted to another sign because they are of like element. So what you would have felt with Jupiter in this training position to your zodiac sign is really a brave new world. You know, your your horizons have broadened.
01:01:10:17 – 01:01:41:04
Christopher
You're looking at a whole different outlook than you were looking at before. You're feeling the excitement and the wonder of of entering into totally new territory, and you're feeling like this is the right thing to do. You're feeling like this. Like, I am so ready for this, and I'm really, really looking forward to this. But at the same time, developments are unfolding at such a hectic pace that you're going to find that you are racing to keep up with them.
01:01:41:06 – 01:02:02:17
Christopher
Okay. That, that that, all of a sudden you're expected to be here, there and everywhere, all, all at once and you're racing to keep up with these developments that are unfolding. And this is a wonderful thing. It's a wonderful thing because you have developments that are unfolding and they're lovely to see. It's a wonderful thing also because it's keeping your mind busy.
01:02:02:19 – 01:02:30:09
Christopher
You don't have time to really think, reflect or question what it is that you're doing. The momentum of Jupiter and the good fortune and the higher purpose that is brought into your life. The momentum is pushing you forward. So when Jupiter turns retrograde on October 9th, you're going to feel that the momentum is slowing. The winds of change that filled your sail have changed direction, and that you're beginning to slow down.
01:02:30:14 – 01:02:56:20
Christopher
You're even beginning to stall. And there may be this feeling of, am I going to get just in reach of what I want, but not get what I want? And this might be a very big question. You know, you may be like, no, no, winds of change can't change direction. I'm just within reach of what I want and I need to push through.
01:02:56:22 – 01:03:19:03
Christopher
And this may be a period of time in which, no, you're not going to be able to push through in the way that you wanted to push through. And so there might be a feeling of like, maybe I was foolish to believe that I had this kind of fortune. Maybe I was foolish to believe that I could do what it is that I wanted to do.
01:03:19:05 – 01:03:49:22
Christopher
Maybe I'm going to be an also ran. Maybe I'm going to come in second place or third place or or runner up. You know, it's it's it can almost even fill you with the sense of panic. This is one of those times when you want to really draw upon the grace of your ruling planet, Venus. Venus was named after the Roman, goddess of love and beauty, and she's the ruler of Libra.
01:03:49:24 – 01:04:18:07
Christopher
And, Venus is really, as I said, it's love and peace. But the big thing that makes Venus, Venus, is that she doesn't go after things. She kind of waits for things to come to her. Venus and Mars. We're used to thinking of them as a pair and and that they are a pair of opposites. You know, the big image that comes to mind is men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
01:04:18:07 – 01:04:53:17
Christopher
And so, you know, they they pair, they get together. But they're opposites in other ways as well. Mars is a planet that wants to get what it wants, okay? It's going to drive. It's going to power through. It's going to go after what it wants to the exclusion of everyone else or anyone else's interests. Venus is always taking into account other people's interests, and Venus is always taking into account different ways of getting what it is that she wants.
01:04:53:19 – 01:05:12:19
Christopher
Think of a dinner party for a moment here right? Mars at a dinner party is going to, you know, if Mars sees the salt and it kind of like wants the salt which is across the table, and everyone's continuing with their conversation and things like that, Mars is going to be like, no excuse. Man's going to reach over and grab the salt and put it and begin salting away.
01:05:12:19 – 01:05:32:19
Christopher
You know, like if Mars sees what it wants, it goes and grabs it gets it does what it wants to do with it. That's it. Venus. Maybe Venus needs the salt. Venus will turn. Well, we'll move closer to a dinner companion and say, Charles, Charles, would you mind passing me the salt? And Charles would be like, oh, absolutely.
01:05:32:23 – 01:05:49:05
Christopher
You know, ready? Could you pass the salt and Ray's like, I'll pass it along through Louise. Louise, could you pass this to Venus over there? Louise is like a word. And, William, could you pass this over to, Charles? And Charles is like. Thank you, William. And then Venus, here's your salt. And she's like, oh, thank you.
01:05:49:05 – 01:06:17:05
Christopher
Or or perhaps Venus. I could salt your food for you. And Venus is like, oh, would you, Charles? Thank you. Okay. So so Venus doesn't go after what she wants. Venus gets other people to go after what she want. So that may be part of what you're doing here with Jupiter changing direction. You may be asking other people to help you to accomplish, what you need to get to where it is that you want to go.
01:06:17:07 – 01:06:43:03
Christopher
That may be a part of what the next four months would bring. The other thing is, Venus may be slowing down to say grace under pressure. Libra, you've been so caught up with all these new things and wanting to get where you want to go, and Venus is maybe even saying, you've gotten a little Marci. So what I want you to do Libra, is back off.
01:06:43:05 – 01:07:13:00
Christopher
Know that you're supposed to get to where it is that you need to be. Believe in that. Believe in your goal. Believe in your destination, and sit back and let it come to you. Okay, so and that might be for a variety of different reasons. Maybe things have gotten so clogged or congealed or unmasked or things have gotten overly complicated, or everyone's talking at once, whatever.
01:07:13:02 – 01:07:45:13
Christopher
But this last part of the journey to get where you want to go isn't going to be based on you powering through to get it. Libra. It's going to be based on you. Stopping what you're doing and waiting for it to come to you. This is a tremendous request of belief, and as I've said earlier, Jupiter is a planet very much associated with belief.
01:07:45:15 – 01:08:15:04
Christopher
But this is you. What do they say? Putting it out there in the universe. Right? This is you putting it out there in the universe, putting out your vision, your aspiration, your dream, your request. You're just putting it out there in the universe, sitting and waiting and seeing how the universe passes it to Ray, to Wilma, to Beverly, to Charles, and how it ultimately ends up with you.
01:08:15:06 – 01:08:39:15
Christopher
That is what I think Jupiter Retrograde is asking of you in the next four months. And that is the stance that I want you to take. Grace under pressure, patience, and waiting for the thing that you want to come to you. If you're born into the zodiac sign of Scorpio, Jupiter will be turning retrograde at a very sensitive angle of your stellar horoscope.
01:08:39:17 – 01:09:06:21
Christopher
This is the part of the solar chart that deals with money that you owe other people, or that other people owe you. It can also deal with your spending habits as well. As a Scorpio, you're very much focused on money, okay? As as a zodiac sign, you're the opposite side to Taurus. Taurus is always you know, thinking about money and Scorpios are thinking about money as well.
01:09:06:23 – 01:09:28:06
Christopher
But for Scorpio, money is more of an emotional security issue. Okay? It's more like, I have to have X amount of money in the bank in order to sleep at night, okay? Or you see money in terms of a relationship of when it rewards you or when it punishes you. You know, if you're going through a good time, money's rewarding you.
01:09:28:06 – 01:09:46:18
Christopher
That means you're you've been a good person, you know, or you're on the right path or you're doing the right things. And then when you're going through a period of time where money is tight or difficult, that means you've done something wrong. And and now you're being punished by, I don't know, the money gods or something along those lines.
01:09:46:20 – 01:10:11:03
Christopher
With Jupiter turning retrograde in Gemini, you might have gone through a period of time since May 21st in which you were making more money, or you were making more headway, or you were feeling, you know, the first time in a long time, like you could really relax, you know, that you could really, you know, look at the things in your life and say, these are things in my life that are here that I enjoy.
01:10:11:07 – 01:10:45:11
Christopher
They're luxurious, you know, Scorpios are secret, luxurious, luxury loving, people, that, everyone thinks is like Libra and other signs like that, like Libra, Leo. But Scorpios, they, they love their luxury when they're, like, focused on getting the best of the best. It is beyond the best of the best. And so you might have enjoyed this kind of, financial peace, this financial Eden, you know, where things were going wonderfully.
01:10:45:11 – 01:11:09:21
Christopher
And you've just been so happy, you know, and so relaxed. So when Jupiter turns retrograde here, it's going to send a bit of a chill down your spine all of a sudden. Ends aren't meeting, you know, you're not meeting your your goals that you have set up for yourself. You don't have the bank balance that makes you feel comfortable.
01:11:09:23 – 01:11:33:10
Christopher
So you may be feeling a little bit panicky. Okay. And that's because the Jupiter retrograde is usually a slowing down of momentum when it comes to good fortune and a change in the direction of the winds of change, where they're no longer filling your sail. But they've gone in another direction altogether, and you may be feeling a bit adrift or left and dry.
01:11:33:11 – 01:11:58:09
Christopher
Now this could start a pattern of behavior in you where you start blaming yourself, where you start. You know I was a fool to to become complacent. I was a fool to believe that this good fortune would last forever. You know, I brought this down on me because I was too smug. I was too comfortable. I was too, you know, happy, you know?
01:11:58:09 – 01:12:24:03
Christopher
And so Scorpios twisted. Now Scorpios can have a sort of grasshopper or. And real relationship to finances. Okay. With Scorpios, it's kind of one or the other. They either they're either going through there and at the same time okay. So so it's one or the other at the same time. So so Scorpios can be going through their grasshopper mode, which is like eating everything you know and spending and, and loving all the thing.
01:12:24:03 – 01:12:49:14
Christopher
You know, I can't live without that. You know, and spending, spending all these sorts of things. And then the money changes. It's not coming in like it used to. And then they go into full and okay, it's folks. Okay. We have to like, you know, cut down the budget, get rid of excess fat, fire these people, or get rid of these expenses, tighten the budget and and become industrious and focused and things like that.
01:12:49:14 – 01:13:13:03
Christopher
So, so so it can be extreme. Scorpio could be a bit extreme. And it it can be a bit extreme. But I think Jupiter retrograde is asking you to do is to relax. There are going to be times in your life in which things are flowing in, and it's comfortable, and you get to enjoy yourself and there going to be times in your life in which, okay, it's not coming in like it used to.
01:13:13:05 – 01:13:41:20
Christopher
And that's not meant to punish you. That's not meant to give you a bad time. So Jupiter in Gemini, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini is asking you to relax, take it, take a more laid back approach about financial fluctuations in your life. Jupiter in Gemini is also asking you to be a little bit more Taurus in your approach to money.
01:13:41:22 – 01:14:03:17
Christopher
Taurus. The reason Taurus is so successful with money is because money is Mars. As far as a Taurus is concerned, it's just numbers, you know? And you just just have to work out the right equations and and not make careless mistakes, you know, and work hard. And there you go. And that's great. Of all the Earth signs, Taurus really has the most optimistic view of money.
01:14:03:19 – 01:14:22:12
Christopher
And that's because it's a spring sign. It comes earlier in the year than Virgo and and Capricorn do. It hasn't been given the time to get anxious about what could be last. Taurus is pretty matter of fact about finances. And that's what Jupiter turning retrograde in Gemini is getting you to do. It's asking you to become more Taurean.
01:14:22:14 – 01:14:53:05
Christopher
You know, to think of money as math, that it's just adding up the numbers and that it doesn't have to take this emotional toll on you. It's going to be a leap of faith. As a Scorpio. It's going to be like, you know, because Scorpios are kind of like, you know, those people who fly on airplanes who think that their psychic wills keeping the plane aloft, you know, that's the way they are about money, that it's like, you know, my focus and concentration is keeping things aloft.
01:14:53:07 – 01:15:35:06
Christopher
And I think by adopting a more relaxed view about finances, believing in finances, you know, putting your faith and finances, you'll come to see that that's the way finances have always worked in your life, and that you don't need the extra psychological berating of yourself that you're better at managing money that you thought, and that you could relax into this and you can step away from this relationship of reward and punishment to something which is pretty meat and potatoes, like the way that money circulates in your life.
01:15:35:08 – 01:16:04:00
Christopher
If you're born under the astrological sign of Sagittarius, then you already know that Jupiter is your ruling planet. The ruling planet, to me, is the planet that rules your birthday sign, your sun sign, and a ruling planet acts as your patron saint, your corporate sponsor, your den mother, and your life coach all wrapped up into one. After the sun and the moon, I will look a lot at how the ruling planet is doing in an astrological chart.
01:16:04:02 – 01:16:25:03
Christopher
When I read for someone, is it traveling through a bumpy patch of sky, or is it traveling through something which is lush and lovely, your ruling planet being, the planet of good fortune and higher purpose? Your ruling planet is always working for you, okay? It's always doing the best job that it can do to come through for you.
01:16:25:05 – 01:16:50:18
Christopher
And with you. Jupiter is doing the best job that it can do to come through for you to give you the good fortune and that sense of higher purpose and that protection, that sponsorship and that guardianship. So when your ruling planet Jupiter turns backwards in the sky, that doesn't mean you're going to be pelted with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
01:16:50:20 – 01:17:18:21
Christopher
What it means is that sense that you were getting somewhere has now slowed down. Okay. You don't have the same feeling of momentum that you had before. Moreover, Jupiter is as far away from you under zodiacal wheel that it could possibly be. It's in your opposite sign, the sign of Gemini. So Jupiter is not really in your corner.
01:17:18:23 – 01:17:35:08
Christopher
You know, Jupiter is kind of like the friend on the other side of the subway. Rails who came in through a different entrance is like, hi. And you're like, hi. And like, I'm getting on a train going in this direction. They're like, I'm getting on a train going that direction, you know, we'll figure out how to meet later on.
01:17:35:08 – 01:17:56:20
Christopher
You know, that's what Jupiter is trying to do, is trying to like it sees you, but it's not near you. It's also moving through that part of your solar chart that has to do with relationships. So the fortune that's coming into your life right now may be a little bit hard for you to register. Why is that a good thing?
01:17:56:22 – 01:18:23:02
Christopher
Hey, one of the things that might be manifesting is there might have been a recent change in your relationship status in perhaps like maybe the last six months or something along those lines, that there's been a change in relationship status. Maybe, you were in a relationship and now you're separated. Maybe that separation took place because you both agreed it was the right thing to do for both of you.
01:18:23:04 – 01:18:47:20
Christopher
Maybe that separation between you and your partner is a product of circumstances. Maybe your partner was called away by certain responsibilities, duties or obligations and can't be as available for you as they once were. So there's a period of time in which this person's going to be away. So there could be that kind of separation that's taking place.
01:18:47:22 – 01:19:19:14
Christopher
If you're not in a partnership or separated from a partnership, retrogrades can often be periods of time where someone from our past is reintroduced into our life. And you may hear from someone that you used to see in a relationship. You may hear from someone that you always wanted to see, in a relationship, and suddenly they're back in your life, you know, and you're really not sure where the two of you stand with one another, like, is this person interested?
01:19:19:14 – 01:19:45:10
Christopher
Or they do they just need a friend? Or were they feeling nostalgic one day? So Jupiter retrograde in your opposite sign is going to introduce spaces in your togetherness now, those spaces in your togetherness aren't supposed to be filled with, okay, it's going to be for months until I see this person again or okay, this person's back in my life and I don't know what it is.
01:19:45:10 – 01:20:12:16
Christopher
So we're just going to be friends and that's it. It's not supposed to be filled with you labeling what what what is supposed to be happening in the relationship. The spaces are there for you to feel what it's like to be in a relationship or budding relationship with someone in which it's not defined. You know, it's not, you know, we're going to see each other 24, seven things like that.
01:20:12:18 – 01:20:45:01
Christopher
And to sort of wear that for a little while, you might be entering into a relationship in which both you and the other person aren't sure of what the next steps are going to be. So instead of feeling like this person is going away, or they're going to forget about you, Jupiter is asking you to have faith in this bond, to faith in this relationship, to allow for this interlude of time when you're not together, when you're not close.
01:20:45:03 – 01:21:06:14
Christopher
Now, they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that might be the result of it. But another result might be like, it's not going to fit. You know, we're in different places now. This is allowed me to see it or this person's coming into my life, and we're not picking up from where we were when we knew each other years ago.
01:21:06:16 – 01:21:32:03
Christopher
We're figuring out who we are right now in our present day lives, you know, so you can meet someone from the past. And it's great that you have shared history and familiarity. But a lot of things have happened between then and now, and you sort of have to get to know each other all over again. And the Jupiter retrograde may be affording you the time and the space to do this.
01:21:32:05 – 01:22:11:13
Christopher
So when Jupiter comes out of retrograde four months from now, you will have spent a lot of time with yourself. And this is a wonderful thing, because sagittarians have a tendency to sort of go looking for what they want in life and faraway places or exotic locations. And with you having spent time with yourself in, in or out relationship, this has made you kind of really reconnect with what you want in a relationship, and that you may find yourself being much clearer about who you are and what you want.
01:22:11:15 – 01:22:47:10
Christopher
And you may find that what you thought you had to go looking for somewhere else was carried inside you all along. It's kind of like Dorothy at the end of The Wizard of Oz when she says, next time I go, looking for my heart's desire, I won't go looking any further than my own backyard. And I think that that's what you're willing plan is doing by by removing the object of your affections for a period of time, you're going to really learn to judge for yourself how much you really want this person to be in your life.
01:22:47:12 – 01:23:09:22
Christopher
If you're born under Capricorn, then Jupiter, having entered the zodiac sign of Gemini, has made your life more hectic. There's been an uptick in clients. There's been an uptick in orders. There's a lot of work that you're having to do right now, but it's work that you really enjoy. Maybe it's a new job. Maybe it's a new, status.
01:23:09:24 – 01:23:39:08
Christopher
Maybe it's a new place where you find yourself. And this is very exciting. Capricorns love to work. And the only thing better than Capricorn working is working at a job that they really love. So I would imagine that that's very much what's going on with you. I think that when Jupiter turns retrograde or reverses direction, you may start to question how much faith you have in the work that you're doing.
01:23:39:10 – 01:24:03:13
Christopher
Okay, now, this isn't like, am I good at this? That's not going to be what you're asking yourself. You're you're good at it. You're flourishing. You're doing very well. But it may be a question more like, do I believe in what it is that I'm doing? Okay. Because sometimes Jupiter can bring opportunities that are really wonderful, and we follow those opportunities because they're wonderful.
01:24:03:15 – 01:24:26:05
Christopher
But they weren't opportunities that we chose. They weren't opportunities, perhaps, that we really wanted. They might have been golden opportunities that we felt that we couldn't pass up and that we had to go and do. So. With Jupiter turning retrograde, it's going to be getting you to question, what do you really want this? Do you really believe in this?
01:24:26:07 – 01:24:49:23
Christopher
And what's going to make it sort of, exasperating is that you're doing so well. All right. So you're going to have part of you saying you're crazy. Of course you want this. There's uptick in customers. There's money coming in. This is great. This is what you wanted. You know, and then you're going to have another part questioning yourself, saying, but did you want this?
01:24:50:00 – 01:25:16:15
Christopher
If you had a choice of staying with this or going with something else, would you really stay with this? You know, if you had another opportunity that came in, would you stay with what you have or would you move after that other opportunity? And so this is really kind of a question of faith and a question of fidelity to what it is that you're doing.
01:25:16:17 – 01:25:37:23
Christopher
And this is where you're going to be for the next four months. Now, the distractions are very real. You know, nothing is more distracting than a busy schedule. You know, nothing gets us to procrastinate and delay and put off those things that we know we should be making decisions about, like a busy schedule. You know, I'm too busy to think about this.
01:25:37:23 – 01:25:59:22
Christopher
I'm too busy to, you know, deal with this concern. And so you're going to be living with that busy schedule, but you're going to be living with that nagging doubt, that nagging question of whether this is something that you really want or not. What I want you to do is kind of get Gemini here. Gemini, which is the zodiac sign of the twins.
01:25:59:22 – 01:26:24:16
Christopher
Okay? It's often described as duality, you know, but it can be like sign of the twins. And it's two people who look like. But they're really different. All right. So it's like our minds, we have a bicameral mind, right? We've got a left and a right hemisphere. So what I want you to do is kind of like live in a split focus place for the next four months, do the work, you know, and enjoy it.
01:26:24:16 – 01:26:48:14
Christopher
Do it to your best of your ability. You're going to do it to the best of your ability because it's going to feel very thriving and very wonderful. But then, on the other hand, ask yourself, do you really want this? Do you really have faith in this? If something else came along, would you take that instead? And I know you Capricorns out there are going to be like, what an impossible thing, Christopher.
01:26:48:14 – 01:27:16:02
Christopher
What's the horrible thing for you to make us ask of ourselves? But but it's it's not meant to reinforce your conviction. It's not meant to reinforce your faith. It's meant to keep the door open. It's meant to keep the alternative of the option open. Capricorns don't like options and alternatives, okay? That there is a mountain to climb, and they want that one.
01:27:16:02 – 01:27:31:13
Christopher
Pass up the mountain. And usually it's going to be the most, most difficult path ever, right? But Gemini does. Gemini is all about options. Gemini is all about I could do this, I could do that. What if I did this? What if I did that? It would lead to that. It would lead to this. Okay, Gemini is all about that.
01:27:31:15 – 01:28:03:02
Christopher
All right. So by keeping that in mind, what what's going to happen is that you're going to find yourself really answering that question for yourself. Do you really like the work that you are doing right now or do you like it because you have to do it? At the end of the four months, you're going to find some sort of like extraordinary coming together, melding together of this, that the whole point of the retrograde Capricorn is that you don't have the answer now.
01:28:03:02 – 01:28:31:18
Christopher
Okay. And so the challenge of the Gemini is to keep an open mind until you do, you know, to embrace exploration and discovery until you do so, trust that in four months you will have this answer, but it will manifest in your life in a very appealing way. And also you will have found a way to integrate work that you love to do with, with your love of work.
01:28:31:18 – 01:29:00:14
Christopher
Okay, you will have found your way to integrate those things and to really discover, thrive and flourish in a situation that's going to make you think, wow, you know, I have never had this before in my life, and this is such a wonderful and fantastic thing. And the reason it is that is because it really is as wonderful and fantastic as it looks and feels.
01:29:00:16 – 01:29:26:11
Christopher
If you're born under Aquarius, then Jupiter's entrance into the zodiac sign of Gemini on May 25th was a wonderful thing. Gemini is an air sign just like Aquarius, which means that it forms a trine which means that the energy of one sign is transmitted to another sign because they share the same element. So I said before, the element that you two have in common is air.
01:29:26:13 – 01:29:57:04
Christopher
Air, the element of relationship, the element of people, and the element of ingenuity. So with this trine that has taken place, what Jupiter and Gemini has really done is it's reconnected you to your heart. Right? One would think it reconnected you to your mind, you know, because air can be very cerebral, but my feeling, my read of the planets is that it's reconnected you to your heart.
01:29:57:06 – 01:30:19:17
Christopher
So it might have reconnected you to your heart and what you feel in a relationship. This could be a romantic relationship. This could be a creative collaboration. This could be someone you work with or partner with in some sort of way. You're feeling excited about this person again. You're feeling excited about the two of you working together or living together or loving one another.
01:30:19:21 – 01:30:51:24
Christopher
You're feeling really excited about that again. Maybe there was a dark time. Maybe there was a rough time. Maybe. Maybe you felt like you were in a rut. But Jupiter in Gemini has revived. It's revitalized. This connection. And I'm not going to rule out family members either. You know, there might have been a family member that, you know, you didn't have to be on the outs with the person, but maybe you were doing automatic pilot or, you know, you were just doing perfunctory phone calls or texts or something along those lines.
01:30:52:01 – 01:31:16:20
Christopher
And, or maybe this was a family member who's always going through problems and you're there to help them solve them. What happened with Jupiter going into Gemini is that it's reconnected you again in your heart bond. It's not about the problem, the crisis. It's not about, you know, being duty bound to connect. It's about really feeling and excitement of of of being members of the same family again.
01:31:16:20 – 01:31:45:17
Christopher
Or and that is going to relate to different relationships in different contexts and different capacities. What you may also feel during this period of time is a reconnection to a creative endeavor to a project. So something you really believe in and you might have had things happen that have given you green flags, positive signals. You know, we all, you know, want to believe in a creative project or a creative endeavor.
01:31:45:19 – 01:32:07:00
Christopher
And we work really hard at it. But but there's no guarantee that it's going to be successful or that that it's going to soar or that it's going to be something. But in these past few months, you've been getting a lot of positive encouragement from Jupiter to go ahead with a creative project or an enterprise or an endeavor, and you're feeling very happy about this.
01:32:07:00 – 01:32:33:16
Christopher
You're feeling very bold and you're feeling very confident. So when Jupiter turns retrograde like it will on October 9th, when Jupiter turns retrograde in the sky, there's going to be a slowing down of momentum with this. And and and it can be something which, well, you know, pretty much being an Aquarius and you're born under Saturn. So there's a slowing down in momentum.
01:32:33:18 – 01:32:52:24
Christopher
You're good with it. Capricorns and Aquarians are always fine with slowing down and momentum. Okay. They'll be like, oh, I guess this is plateauing again. And okay, that's fine. I'm cool with it. We'll see where it goes. You know, other signs are like, no, no, I've got to keep things going. But, you know, the Saturn road signs are like, whatever, we'll see how it works out.
01:32:52:24 – 01:33:26:12
Christopher
Or, you know, maybe it's not going to work out this time. It won't work out next time. So you may be sort of feeling those things, but but I don't think it's going to be so easy for you to go into that mindset that I just shared with you. All right. Typically you would go Saturn with it, which is okay, it's not it's time or it's a plateau or whatever, but I think you're going to find yourself really wanting this to work out, and you're going to find yourself really wanting this to come through.
01:33:26:14 – 01:33:50:13
Christopher
All right. You're going to find yourself perhaps even curiously, personally invested. That's a good thing for you. That's a really good thing for you, Aquarius. You have a tendency, being an air sign, being ruled by Uranus. That's your modern ruler. Saturn is your traditional one. You have a tendency to sort of do remote viewing when it comes to yourself.
01:33:50:14 – 01:34:19:06
Christopher
Okay, you you have this tendency to sort of be on the outside looking in, okay. Looking at you, outsider removed in some way. And this Jupiter retrograde is really going to bring about a personal investment, and it's going to bring about a call for a personal investment. And you might find yourself surprised by how personally invested you are in wanting things to work out.
01:34:19:08 – 01:34:40:11
Christopher
And that's going to bring up belief, okay. Which is something that's very important to you. Aquarius is more about convictions. Do you have the courage of your convictions, or are you going to stand by your principles? Belief is more ideological, perhaps in some ways for an Aquarius than it is that fervor for like a Sagittarius. So it's going to bring up that fervor.
01:34:40:11 – 01:35:01:20
Christopher
It's going to bring out that that feeling of, I really want this to be I really want this to work out. And so it's going to summon a personal belief. You're going to have skin in the game, as they say, with this. And I think that you're going to find yourself perplexed by this, maybe even troubled by it.
01:35:01:22 – 01:35:33:01
Christopher
But this is absolutely the way you need to go between now and, February fifth, when Jupiter comes out of retrograde and you may find this journey to be, as I said, bewildering and curious. But at the same time very empowering and also very exciting. If you're born into Pisces, then your ruling planet Jupiter has been moving through the part of your solar chart that has to do with home hearth and setting down roots.
01:35:33:03 – 01:35:54:10
Christopher
And so, since the period of time that Jupiter entered the zodiac sign of Gemini on May 25th, you might have relocated, you might have moved. There might have been some sort of change in the way that your home is set up. Maybe you, welcomed a new member to the family. Maybe you welcomed a new two legged member to the family.
01:35:54:12 – 01:36:14:05
Christopher
Or maybe you welcomed a new four legged member to the family. Or a member of the family with fins and feathers. Who knows? But there has been some sort of change in your home. You might have moved or relocated. You might have done this with the idea of things would be better if I did this. All I have to do is move and relocate.
01:36:14:08 – 01:36:35:07
Christopher
This is going to be a better place for me to live. This is going to be a better, job. And so I had to move and relocate. You've, you've you've literally gone to the side of the fence where the grass is always greener. Okay. And this is probably what took place. In a since, the May 25th period when Jupiter entered your sign.
01:36:35:09 – 01:37:09:18
Christopher
But now that you're on the other side of the fence from the one that you from the side that you were on back in May, the greener grass side of the fence, you may find yourself asking, is that all there is? I'd love that song by Peggy Lee. I don't know if you're familiar with it. She asks to, you know, she she, she'll sing a verse where she talks about how she always wanted to go to the circus, and her and her father took her to the circus, and they go to the circus, and she sees the acrobats and the clowns and and the horses and things like this.
01:37:09:18 – 01:37:29:01
Christopher
And you really think that she's going to rhapsodies and be all sorts of happy about this? But she lists off all of the things that she's she's seen at the circus, and then she follows it with the line, is that all there is to a circus? So you may be feeling in a way, is that all there is to a move?
01:37:29:01 – 01:38:00:18
Christopher
Is that all there is to relocation? Is that all there is to a new member of the family? Is that all there is to getting something that I yearned for, to getting something that I want? Pisces is a zodiac sign that's very much about yearning for something, longing for something. And it's usually something it doesn't have. Okay, if Sagittarius, which is a Jupiter ruled sign, falls in love with long distances.
01:38:00:24 – 01:38:29:02
Christopher
Pisces, which is the other Jupiter ruled sign, is falling in love with things that it can never have. All right. And so? So that's there. Your friends know this. Your loved ones know this. People you work with know this. You know they know that you're always pining away for something that you can't possibly have. Because the whole point of pining away is that wonderful experience of hope and longing and pining away.
01:38:29:04 – 01:38:56:14
Christopher
You know, it's bittersweet. It's melancholic, it hurts your heart. It pains your soul. But. But there's an ecstasy to the agony. There's there's. There's an ecstasy to wanting something that you cannot have, you know. And if you've ever seen those films or read those books or watch those plays, they leave you with such a marvelous sense of profundity at the end of it.
01:38:56:16 – 01:39:23:09
Christopher
What Jupiter retrograde on October 9th is going to do is that it's going to bring that disillusionment. It's going to bring that. Is that all there is? It's going to bring that feeling of like, okay, I know what this is like, but a little bit like Aquarius. It's not going to allow you to go back into your familiar pattern.
01:39:23:11 – 01:39:43:20
Christopher
It's not going to allow you to throw the fish back into the sea. I mean, you can it's a free world. You can throw the fish back into the sea, you know? And the Pisces motto is there's plenty of fish in the sea, but you're going to find yourself. You could find yourself reluctant. You're going to find yourself wondering, do I really want to do that?
01:39:43:20 – 01:40:16:15
Christopher
Or can I really do that again? Or maybe I'm just sick and tired of doing that again. And this is good because with the Jupiter retrograde is getting you to do is to pause and to reflect and to absorb. You are so used to being in a relationship with things you can't have that it's very hard for you to be in a relationship with things you can have, and sometimes you can take that as a disappointment or disillusionment.
01:40:16:17 – 01:40:42:22
Christopher
What Jupiter is asking you to do is to give this a chance. You know, you may be in a new home, a new home, set up a new home environment, new member of the family. You may have that habitual piscean reaction of like, is that all there is to okay, but give it a chance. Let yourself see if you grow to it.
01:40:42:24 – 01:41:12:05
Christopher
What's the idea? If it grows on you, let yourself see if it grows on you. Because you may find in this period of time that Jupiter is moving backwards in the sky, that it does, you know, you may find yourself actually beginning to, like, beginning to relish, beginning to enjoy. Usually liking and relishing and enjoying with Pisces is done in states of ecstasy and exhilaration.
01:41:12:07 – 01:41:32:08
Christopher
You know, transports was a 19th century term for us. You know, I was I was besieged with the transports. I was transported away. You know. So here Gemini is such a day to day sign. It's such a conversational sign. It's such a, you know, you could meet someone on your way to the market and you have a conversation or whatever sign.
01:41:32:10 – 01:42:05:20
Christopher
It's very much a sign that deals with your day to day. And Pisces is very much not that okay. It's the supernatural, the otherworldly. You know, there's a horizon beyond the blue horizon. So Jupiter in Gemini brings you back into your day to day stay here in your day to day, and you may find for months from now that you like where you are, that you relish where you are, that you might have.
01:42:05:20 – 01:42:20:01
Christopher
And don't say it very loudly. You might have just found what you were looking for. Again. Jupiter comes out of retrograde on February 5th, 2024.
