Shamanic Astrology sees Jupiter as the primary spiritual path (Yoga) or Dharma for achieving your current
life goals. Said another way, when we take action aligned with the archetypal energies of our natal Jupiter it
is the quickest way to further our soul’s purpose. Additional factors for clues about your personal Jupiter
and the intention it describes on your natal chart, include the House Position of Jupiter, and what other
planets may be conjunct Jupiter. What is presented here is focused on finding the sign Jupiter was in at the
time you were born (with brief sign descriptions below) and also locating your next Jupiter return an
important cycle of initiation that happens about every 12 years.
The Jupiter Return is the high point of the 12 year Jupiter cycle offering renewal of vision and re-alignment
with your soul’s purpose. The Jupiter return can be affected by other personal cycles you may be
experiencing and it is also affected by your intent to work with these energies to maximize the gifts of this
recurring Timing.
