Hello, Friends and Readers…back again with Jupiter transiting in Aquarius through the houses. Read yesterday’s post for the overview. I will try to get a few houses done each day and then start on Saturn in Aquarius…

The 2nd house is the natural Taurus house. It represents possessions, talents, and resources under your personal control. It is the house that rules auctions and buying bulk in wholesale transactions. Yes, it symbolizes money but it is more than money. It can be tools, musical instruments, art supplies…and all kinds of materials that people use in their hobbies — wood, stone, plants, leather — these are some of the Taurus things. While Taurus things may play a role, it’s the Aquarius 2nd that we’re going to focus on.

If you have CAPRICORN rising, then Jupiter in your 2nd house will usually expand your income and your resources. While it could be a raise at work, it may not be that obvious. Networking with people, maybe friends, can alert you to a side job which grows in importance in your life. The 2nd house is not just money; it can be tools and all kinds of material things that can help you expand your income. Looking at the Aquarius energy, I would have to emphasize computers and smart phones as important resources. It could be something like a 3D printer. It could be a computer that cuts metal into designs, or prints custom wallpaper. The point is if there’s something you love to do on the side, consider investing in the tools to build a side business of your own. Drones would be Aquarius, since this sign rules aviation. Maybe you like to build things.

The one caviat is don’t go overboard. Remember Jupiter is only negative through excess. If you buy every dremel attachment available, you may regret it later. There are some tricky transits this January and February, including Mercury retro 1/30 to 2/20/21. So do your research and be a bit cautious. Building up cash reserves for training, seminars, workshops, etc. might be the way to proceed later, so pace yourself !!

I will share one example of excess. In 2009, with Jupiter on my Sun in January, I went a little crazy. I loved sewing and felt sure I was going to be doing a lot of it. So I stocked up on fabric. Then lace, trim, thread, elastic, and patterns. I found all of these in bulk lots at a reasonable price. I went to the fabric store one day because I needed 4 buttons, a certain kind. I was outraged at the price, it was like $7 or 8 dollars for 4 buttons. That’s when I went to the extreme. I started buying bulk lots of buttons on Ebay. I bought more buttons than I could ever use in 3 lifetimes, and you can’t take it with you — HA HA :))

Sooo… here’s what happened…I still do custom sewing and I use the fabric to make gifts, too. Did it become a side business? No, still more of a hobby. The buttons are still here — I’ve used some of them. BIG mistake on my part to buy so many. Sometimes I give them as gifts to other people who like to sew. I should probably sell some of them but I’m still learning how to use the smart phone that would make it possible.

If you have SAGITTARIUS rising, then Jupiter in Aquarius will be transiting through your 3rd house — the natural Gemini house. So let’s look at the general meanings of the 3rd house first. The 3rd house is siblings, nieces and nephews and cousins. The 3rd is local or regional travel, and also the neighborhood where you live. Jupiter rules the natural 9th which is learning that expands the mind. The 3rd is technical training that concentrates the mind, and it is also kindergarten through high school.

One possibility is taking college classes of a technical nature. Workshops or seminars can lead to new friendships. Your neighborhood may expand. This could be new construction, but also something like a neighborhood association, or even a casual but very friendly group of neighbors who work well together —potlucks, yard sales, trading daycare, etc. That would have to be later after the virus is tamed.

People with this transit usually get happy news about or through a sibling. More joy in the family. It’s the best transit to buy a new or used car, but since Saturn is also in Aquarius for the next couple years, you better be sure you want to keep the car for a long time. Consider buying an extended warranty or service contract. It’s a very bad sign if one of the computers in the car fails and has to be replaced. A client who is very knowledgeable about cars told me that once one computer fails there can be a cascading effect and others break, too. Not a happy scenario.

If you live in a condo, you may find yourself more involved with the condo association. Or maybe some nice neighbors move in and there’s a more positive and considerate energy around you.

One thing about the 3rd house…if you are going to spend time and money on school, licensing, or some kind of certification, then make sure you want to follow through and put it to good use. If you are employed in a career with a continuing ed mandate, then choose carefully how to fulfill that requirement. Make it count !!

Jupiter in the 3rd could bring you luck with local contests. Sign up for raffles, to win a car, or to win a vacation. There can be more travel in your life, short trips, but fun. Just think how wonderful it will be when the virus is tamed and your friends can come visit you for a weekend and vice versa !! Since Saturn is also in Aquarius, there could be jobs that involve travel or delivery services, but the Jupiter influence brings luck and more happiness. Just remember to allow extra time in traffic and when Mercury is retrograde.

Well, folks, I’ll post this and try to get back to you manana. Best wishes, Jenae
