Saturn Transits to Jupiter

When Saturn transits natal Jupiter the need for security and achievement influences your plans for the future and your need for self-improvement and a deeper sense of meaning. Saturn represents the structures and limitations of your life, and what you need to do in order to be true to yourself and build the life you want.

When Saturn transits natal Jupiter it provides an opportunity to examine your ambitions and plans for the future and how you intend to achieve them. Jupiter is about growth and the future, while Saturn is the opposite, so when Saturn forms a hard angle to Jupiter it can stop progress in its tracks, deflate hopeful bubbles, and generally put a spanner in the works of whatever you’re trying to achieve.

There’s a kind of push and pull between the two planets which can either be helpful or restrictive depending on what you’re trying to do. You may feel very restless and impatient, but if you’re willing to do the work, you’ll have the discipline to create new structures in your life that will produce sustained growth into the future. It all depends on your goals and how realistic your plans are.

These transits can coincide with changes in your career. The hard angles can cause problems because you want to grow and expand and improve your life but Saturn restricts your options. You may feel inhibited from moving forward, or trapped in a situation beyond your control and incapable of making the changes you need.

This may feel frustrating and depressing and you may feel lots of hostility towards authority and the social injustices in the world. But how you deal with this is important. When you can’t do what you want, don’t assume it’s all gone wrong. For example, if you lose your job or have some other difficulty at this time, it may turn out to be a good thing in the long run.

Now is the time to stop doing things that are unnecessary and focus on what works. This is easier to do with the sextile and trine and you should be able to expand in a way that won’t cause problems further down the line. You can find the right balance between caution and optimism, and this helps you to make positive changes without disrupting the status quo.

Possibilities with Saturn transiting Jupiter:

Change of job or residence
Expanding a business
Disciplined work towards a realistic goal
Saving or investing for the future

Watch out for:

Downturn in financial status
Oppressive circumstances
Burning bridges in a fit of anger

Ultimately, this time is about discovering what your soul needs and how it wants to operate in the world. So if you find every door is closed, it may be that you’re knocking on the wrong ones. These transits often signify a period of readjustment after having expanded too far in the past or into the wrong areas.

Turn inwards to discover a new direction and be patient as you rethink what you’re doing. Don’t be in a hurry to make big changes. Let go of anything in your life that isn’t working and accept the reality check that Saturn offers.
