J
upiter Moving Into Capricorn
Transiting Jupiter takes just under 12 years to complete its orbit around the Sun, spending just under one year in each of the 12 signs of the zodiac. For the last year, Jupiter has been moving through the sign of Sagittarius.
On December 2, 2019, transiting Jupiter moves into the sign of Capricorn, where he will remain until December 19, 2020.
Hence, a Jupiter Cycle is 12 years. Jupiter takes 12 years to transit your birth chart, spending approximately one year in each house. For this reason, Jupiter is a good planet for us to monitor because his cycle, 12 years, is manageable for us to get our arms around, unlike the 30 year cycle of Saturn or the 248 years for Pluto.
Looking to past cycles of Jupiter, we look back 12 years. Jupiter last passed through the sign of Capricorn in 2008 and then in 1996, 1984, 1972 and 1960 before that.
In 1960, while Jupiter passed through Capricorn, Saturn was also passing through the sign of Capricorn at the same time! Yes, Jupiter and Saturn meet up in Capricorn every 60 years. You could say that 2020’s meeting of Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn is a once in a lifetime astrological event impacting your world!

Professor Saturn and Professor Jupiter
As “Professor Saturn”, Saturn’s job is to bring tests, big tests, heavy tests. His goal is to determine IF you have been effective in making the practical efforts that result in building “structures” that work in the real world. Saturn does not care about possibilities or theories. He cares about “reality”.
His manner is blunt and simple. “Did you pass or fail?” He is not subtle, nor does he engage in a question and answer session to help you to figure out what to do next.

As “Professor Jupiter”, Jupiter’s job is to bring inspiration, opportunities and rewards. His goal is to illuminate possibilities for the future. Jupiter wants you to feel better, he wants you to do better.
The key to embracing Jupiter is to pay attention to the inspirations or opportunities he is providing. The messages Jupiter sends are messages to carefully consider and see how they fit into your plans for the future. Jupiter wants you to be inspired about your future and new possibilities, but he also wants you to do something about it.

Saturn and Jupiter in Capricorn
As Jupiter is preparing to enter Capricorn, Saturn has already been there for the past 2 years.
Looking back, from December 2017 and throughout 2018, Saturn brought his “heavy tests” to the first 10 degrees of Capricorn as he moved retrograde and spent a lot of time specifically from 2 to 8 degrees of Capricorn. When a planet moves retrograde over a degree in the zodiac, it means he will interact with that degree three times.
Over this period in 2018, we lost Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain who each had their Sun powerfully impacted by transiting Saturn. Maybe you know others, or even yourself, who were impacted by this heavy energy during 2018. If it feels safe for you, you might want to look back and think how you experienced that time or to look at your chart and see what planets you have at those degrees. Why?
Jupiter will soon bring his healing energy to these degrees as he enters Capricorn and will impact those same degrees from December 2, 2019 to January 6, 2020. A short window of time to bring your awareness forward if your chart is impacted.
Saturn In Capricorn
Sticking with Saturn for now, in 2019, Saturn extended his test to planets from 10 to 20 degrees of Capricorn, traveling over them 3 times while he was retrograde.
Looking ahead, in 2020, Saturn will complete his efforts in Capricorn by testing 20 to 29 degrees of Capricorn three times.
At one point in the Fall of 2020, Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter will all be together in Capricorn! More to come on that next year.
It is helpful to remember that Saturn does not seem to care if you feel tired, beat up or defeated by his tests. He only cares about the actual progress you make in the world. He wants that you trust yourself enough that you can confidently act as your own authorit
y!
Sometimes we make Saturn out to be so heavy and we avoid him because we have created an image of burden, restriction and limitation for him.
He can be that.
But, mostly, just like the story Wolfram often shares about The Three Little Pigs: Saturn wants for you that life be like that of the Third Little Pig and be warm, comfortable, and safe.
In this way, you learn to
trust yourself
and live free from fear.
This simply means that you can
depend on yourself to take care of
your world:
your needs, your finances, your home,
your career, and your family.
Jupiter In Capricorn
For the next 13 months, Jupiter will follow Saturn through Capricorn. If you passed Saturn’s tests, then Jupiter will bring rewards for your efforts or new opportunities for the future.
If you struggled during Saturn’s tests, then Jupiter will bring new support, new possibilities, healing, inspirations and opportunities that serve to guide you to your future – your dharma.
If Saturn has beat you down,
let Jupiter help you up and
re-invigorate you!
The first step with Jupiter is to be aware of the inspirations and opportunities he brings.
Importantly, if you have planets or angles between 1 and 16 Capricorn, Jupiter will conjunct these degrees only one time between December 2019 and mid-February 2020. This two-month period is an important time for awareness of your journey and the new potentials that Jupiter might bring.
Alternatively, Jupiter will pass over 17 to 27 Capricorn 3 times from mid-February to December 2020. If you have planets at these degrees, you will experience three times when new potentials might come forward.
This ten-month period can be a period of sustained inspiration and progress and you embrace Jupiter’s inspiration.
