Jupiter in Aquarius

April 5 – September 14, 2021

November 20, 2021 – April 13 2022

Jupiter will enter Aquarius on April 5th. It takes Jupiter about a year to complete its transit through a sign, so when it moves, it’s a big deal in astrology. Jupiter is the planet of abundance, knowledge, children, truth, and dharma. When it transits through a new sign, it casts its beneficent energy on everything that sign signifies.

On the other hand, Jupiter has been moving in and out of Capricorn over the past year, and Capricorn is Jupiter’s sign of debilitation. For this reason, in 2010, my teacher, Sadguru Sivananda Murthy, predicted that 2020 would be a time when the world would experience a crisis and when dharma (truth) would be at its lowest level.

That certainly took place. Our world, during the past year, has been a place of chaos and a place where discerning the truth has been very difficult.

In my mid-year predictions presentation, I mapped out the transit of Jupiter with respect to the virus. I said that the transit of Jupiter in Capricorn has been a reliable indicator for the Covid pandemic. I pointed out that when Jupiter entered Capricorn in

March of 2020, the virus began to spike. When it retrograded out of Capricorn, at the end of June, 2020, the virus subsided and restrictions seemed to ease. I predicted that when Jupiter once again would enter Capricorn, on November 19, 2020, the virus would spike again. Since then, new variants have become problematic, and Europe has developed a new wave of infections.

On April 5, 2021, Jupiter will leave Capricorn and enter Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of groups of people, so over the course of this one-year transit, we should find people starting to be more comfortable smaller social settings, and over time, becoming more comfortable in groups. At the moment, the virus is very active in Europe, but that will probably begin to change as various countries act to stem the tide of infections and improve vaccine protocols.

Jupiter will be transiting Aquarius until April 13, 2022. However, during the period from September 14 – November 20, 2021, Jupiter will once again retrograde into Capricorn briefly. That transit is likely to reiterate some of the Covid issues. One possibility might be the need to address variants of the virus with booster vaccinations. Whatever the issues might be, the period is short, suggesting that we will deal with the problems relatively quickly.

From November 20, 2021 – April 13, 2022, Jupiter will again be transiting Aquarius, finally free of the constraining influence of Capricorn, and the world will receive another leg up in its struggle against the virus.

In the big picture, I will repeat what I said in February of 2020, in my World Predictions presentation, just after the virus began. I said that the Coronavirus pandemic will still be a problem until about August of 2022, based on the 2020 Gregorian new year chart that I discussed in that presentation. The pandemic is also tracking the transit of Saturn in Capricorn, which started in January of 2020 and ends in January of 2023. So we will probably be dealing with issues related to the pandemic in one way or another until the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.

That said, the astrological factors suggest constant improvement, and one of the biggest and most positive influences is Jupiter’s movement into Aquarius beginning on April 5th. It represents a period where the world population, in general, will start to feel more confident and free to interact with each other. Remember, April 5th is only the beginning point of the transit. It will take about a year to develop more fully, but we should start to see signs of the virus abating in the next few months, probably as a result of more and more people getting the vaccine.

Here is a brief description of how the transit of Jupiter in Aquarius might affect you, based on the house Jupiter is transiting in your horoscope. Remember, we use a different zodiac in Vedic astrology, so you have to look at the birth date ranges for each of the Sun signs carefully. If you happen to know your Vedic Moon sign, Lagna (Ascendant) or Arudha Lagna, then you can read the results for those signs as well. If you happen to know all of those signs, you could potentially read the predictions given for four signs. That may seem confusing, but each of the descriptions reflects a different angle on the transit of Jupiter and will tend to manifest in its own way.
