Transiting Jupiter Sextile Natal Mars

Transiting Jupiter can have a profound effect while making a sextile to your natal Mars.  The timing usually lasts about 6 to 8 weeks depending on whether Jupiter moves into its retrograde cycle. 

Transiting Jupiter Sextile Natal Mars

Currently (August 2024) Transiting Jupiter will move into retrograde on October 8, 2024, and it will be at 21° in the sign of Gemini.  Its stationary period is about one day.  This stationary period is very intense for those who have a planet at this degree, especially those that have major aspects within 1-3° direct from the natal chart to this position. 

Jupiter’s influence, while in retrograde, will last many months and those affected will feel its intensity when it crosses the degrees of influence in their personal natal chart.

We are discussing the sextile in this post, but the trine is also similar to the effects of the sextile, and both are energies we hope and wait for.  The sextile implies opportunities that will be presented and that we need to act to take advantage of.  The sextile is a positive aspect and indicates openings and prospects for when things might flow in a more constructive manner.

Jupiter is the most opportunistic planet in Astrology. Jupiter provides growth, expansion, good luck, rewarding experiences and allows things to move forward.  When applied to challenging situations like someone experiencing a fatal disease or illness with no prospect of recovery, it can also indicate the ending of situations pushing things ahead so that no further suffering takes place.

With Transiting Jupiter Sextile Mars, we have a great push to advance in some manner, depending on the houses involved in our chart.  The houses are areas of life, and this will be where these energies are initiated.  Wherever Mars is located in the Natal Chart, this will be the area which offers opportunities for growth and expansion. 

If, for example, Mars is tied to the MC (midheaven), this will suggest that opportunities in abundance may lie within the scope of your career or ties in with your objectives and path in life.  Your status may change and this flows in a smoother manner. With the sextile, however, you must take advantage of the energies at hand, or they may not manifest in the manner that they could if you were to push for results.

If Jupiter is travelling through your 11th house and it makes a Sextile to your Mars/MC’s position, you may receive help from groups or from friends to make things happen.  If Jupiter is travelling through the 12th house and still making this sextile to your Mars/MC, assistance may come from unknown sources, or you may receive help from the subconscious or other realms of influence.  This may be hidden from you or perhaps you do not know about this energy or where it has come from.

Transiting Jupiter Sextile Natal Mars is an aspect of great expansive, beneficial energy. It is an energy, however, that you must work with.  The benefit will not simply fall in your lap. Take advantage if this transit is affecting your chart.

A professional Astrologer can help you understand the potential with this aspect and other aspects forming angles within the natal chart.

JUPITER SQUARE NATAL SATURN

Jupiter Square Natal Saturn

Although this post is about the transit of Jupiter to your natal Saturn, we would like to point out that transiting Jupiter is also currently square Transiting Saturn around August 19, 2024. This current transiting aspect will be similar in energy to the information in this post but will change dynamically when you take into consideration the houses involved in your chart.

While Jupiter tends to exaggerate and expand whatever it touches, Saturn tends to add responsibility and indicates hard work. When these two planets come together, growth and expansion along with added responsibility will take hold.  In many cases, this has to do with your occupation although, again, much will depend on the houses involved if this is in your chart.

If you are born with this square aspect in your natal chart, you can expect that when it becomes active through transits or progressions, your responsibilities and obligation are likely to increase.  You may find that there is more work for you to do and perhaps you will not get recognition for your efforts. Alternatively, perhaps you are getting noticed for your hard work but not seeing an income increase which is reflective of your hard work.  You may just be working harder or taking on more responsibilities. Although you may not reap the rewards for your hard work and disciplined effort at this time, you may find that as you continue working diligently towards your objectives, you will get notice by your superiors at some point in the future.  Saturn tends to delay things, but Jupiter often promises rewards eventually.

Squares are challenging aspects but because of their intrusive behavior, they force us into action.  On some level, we need to find a resolution to these difficulties, and we tend to work hard to resolve any problems that might be presented to us. 

Jupiter pushes us toward expansion and brings good luck and growth with our objectives, while Saturn tends to delay or restrict things.  Part of us wants to move forward and work towards our objectives while another part of us says that things are okay the way they are, and all that hard work may not be worth the effort.  There is a real push and pull, both at the same time. 

Saturn will cause us to worry and be anxious. Saturn can cause concern and doubt that what we are trying to do will never work in our favour.  There may be obstacles which stand in the way of progress, and there will not be any short cuts in reaching our final destination. This is actually a good thing because missing steps when Saturn is part of the process never work in our favour. 

Jupiter brings good luck, fortunate conditions, good timing and opportunities that might not otherwise present themselves to us.  When Jupiter is involved, this is the time to make plans to advance our objectives as things will usually flow more steadily and the potential for success is increased.  However, with Saturn being part of the process, as mentioned, you can expect some worries and anxiety over your objectives and a concern for failure. We should not listen to these thoughts however as the potential for growth and good luck is in place under this aspect. Move beyond doubt and push through.

With Jupiter square Natal Saturn, we can make things happen but expect some delays along the way.  Your peers or those in authority will likely notice your effort and rewards come to those that wait. Eventually the rewards will not be obscured by the concerns that might plague our journey as we advance.

2024 ASPECTS FOR SUN IN VIRGO

Again, happy solar return to our Virgo readers. Here is our link for our 2024 information on Sun in Virgo.

2024 Sun in Virgo

Much of what we are writing about will depend on which degree the Sun in Virgo is in the birth chart and which houses are involved.  It is important to have a look at the potential provided in the natal chart to understand the outcome of the transits that we will speak about. 

Transiting Neptune and transiting Saturn are both in Pisces which makes them in opposition to those with their Virgo Sun within the same degrees currently occupied by these two powerful outer planets. 

Oppositions are considered challenging and often involve other people.  In many cases, our plans are disrupted because of these individuals, and we must find a way to deal with or get past their influence.  In most cases when other people are making suggestions, we should listen to their advice. In some cases, their advice will be very helpful and in other cases, they may cause a hinderance.  We must learn to work with both depending on what is being proposed.

Neptune in the case of oppositions to the Sun (currently in August, 2024 Neptune is at 29° Pisces) suggests that you may not be able to see things clearly or do not have a clear understanding of what is taking place.  There may be some vagueness to your goals and aspirations because people seem to be feeding you wrong information or information that does not jive with your plans.  Depending on how long this has been in play in your chart and the houses involved, this may have been going on for a long time or you may have felt it coming for some time now. 

Saturn on the other hand (Saturn is currently at 17° Pisces and in retrograde) will be in its retrograde cycle until mid-November, 2024. Saturn works more favorably when in retrograde than when it is direct.  There will still be delays and some obstacles in the way at this time but with hard work and a well-organized effort, you can accomplish much during this phase.  Your superiors may be of assistance, but things may not move ahead as quickly as you might wish they would.  Things seem to move too slowly but there likely is a logical reason for this if you were to take a closer look. 

Your objectives, and on a more personal level, your inner self is going through a time when things will shift.  It will likely be some time before you get a real feel for which direction life is taking you.  You may be doing some inner reflection and will make significant changes at this time but be patient and listen to advice. When you make up your mind as to which direction to follow, the door will open. You are currently learning about yourself and will make changes as time passes.

The 2024 aspects for Sun in Virgo signify a vagueness with your goals with delays and obstacles all likely coming from others. Be patient. Change is coming, both inward and outward. Happy solar return to our Virgo readers.
