Jupiter has been showing up in my life with incredible synchronicities. Traveling at a speed of 47,051 km per hour, it orbits the sun about once every 11.86 years (Earth perspective). Therefore, messages, insights and wisdom provided by Jupiterian energy may take a while to fully realize and integrate! Reflecting back on these 12-year cycles can be a magical and eye-opening thing to do.
The first time life made me aware of it was in May 2022 when I coincidentally found myself on top of the Montserrat in Catalunya, where I stood once before 12 years ago — almost to the day — during a school excursion.
This visit was very different to the first: a series of prayers & rituals. Guided by the winds and the feminine force, demonized by churches and society for ages. And in an incredible way, the bridge of time was mending my own path…
12 years previously, that very feminine force was influencing me in ways that were hard to manage, and I was both playing with and shaming it… 12 years ago — Jupiter in opposition to my natal Jupiter — life was testing me. The next opposition in 2022. This time, I came to test myself, loaded with awareness of symbolism and deeper meaning of everything that this place entailed. A second moment of playing with this energy… this time with awakened powers... this time with consciousness... and this time the old shame was heard, understood, embraced and healed.
Yet again, in June 2024 I find myself in a moment of Jupiter-culmination of surprises. This time, Jupiter already passed the point of opposition and is instead residing in the place where social encounters, humanitarian matters and physical resources combine in my chart.
Before I share about what happened this time, let’s take a moment to travel back 12 years ago into my psyche. I was just graduating from the German school system and wondering what to do with my life. The Aquarius Sun in me always knew I wanted to make the world somehow a better place. Back then, my scope was limited to the world of companies and offices (what my father lived out) and so I saw myself helping workers in companies to feel better, implementing sustainability and improving well-being in people’s lives. My goal was “to influence those who have influence”.
Now back to the more recent month of June in 2024.
I received an unexpected invitation to offer tarot readings at a company’s summer party, at a hip location in Berlin, where I live. The unexpected part was not the Tarot request, but the name of the company, which was the location’s client. A huge international company… very well-known, and VERY influential.
I realized two things.
First, I was, in a weird way, doing EXACTLY what my self from the past had dreamed of. I was able to “influence those who have influence”. The very people who shape and infuse this company with their ideas, mindsets, and
emotions. I was requested for emotional guidance and was able to discuss so many topics with so many people during that event. Ranging from personal relationship struggles, all the way to complex and delicate work-related questions around contracts, AI development and moral values.
I was astonished how many people were actually interested in a reading, and saw the beautiful diversity of the employees! Their dreams, visions and emotions beyond work life… but also their motivation for the job (or career changes). It connected me to the world of HUMANS that make up life. Something I often say, and yet it is easy to forget and underestimate what this means. Our economies, markets and systems are made by humans, governed and executed by humans, and every single individual human has a story, a life, a heart. I feel very much ‘at home’ in this part of social exchange. Much more ‘at home’ than I ever have in any office or service-job that I had worked before. Even though I gave readings for so many hours and was tired of speaking and ready to fall into bed, I was filled with a feeling of deep fulfillment at the end of the night. The kind of fulfillment that tells you: This is the right path.
The second thing I realized is, that this experience is also mending worlds between me and my siblings. Three of three siblings in the tech-industry and one of them working at EXACTLY the company for whose summer-fest I gave the tarot readings. I felt like finally my way of living was receiving a place in their world. The part of me that felt like the outsider/the misunderstood/the judged one in their presence was able to find a bit more peace now. I was reminded that worlds are never separate. That life is in development. That we are just all working from the sides we choose, but ultimately there is a place in the middle where we can meet. A point to which deeper human desires find their way. An urge for improvement, safety, love and belonging.
My natal Jupiter is in House 3, the house of siblings.
Overall, I am mesmerized once more by how much BIGGER and WIDER the perspective is that Jupiter’s scope entails. I would have never imagined my intentions from 12 years ago to unfold themselves into this situation, yet in some way, I am living exactly what I always wanted to do. Just very, very differently than I had foreseen.
I feel life not as a string of random events, but an intricately woven fabric of dimensions, potentials, causes and effects…
…which seem to support the very natal chart we are born with.
This is just one of many stories in my life supporting this feeling.
I have enough of them to believe in it fully.
And every day, I discover something more.
What will the next 12 years bring?
Setting the intentions today, may bring wonders in the future!
