Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:
As July gets underway, Jupiter, newly in Leo since June 29/30 is in the spotlight. Its orbital periods are an average of 11.86 years, yet due to its slightly elliptical orbit, it can take as little as 11 months or as much as 13 to complete its transit through a sign. While in Leo, the duration is just shy of 13 months, and it will enter Virgo on July 26, 2027.
Jupiter is deemed a Fire Element planet and is, accordingly, the ruling planet for philosophical, metaphysical, truth and principle-oriented Fire Sign Sagittarius. It should be noted that psychologically speaking, Sagittarius is more fully symbolic of socially conditioned beliefs and self-honesty, beyond all other notions of what is deemed to be ‘the truth’.
When Jupiter transits through another Fire Element Sign, whether its own, or Aries or Leo, its expression tends to be amplified. So, through Leo, it will increase the general emphasis on what constitutes higher truths beyond beliefs and convictions.
With the Lunar South Node about to enter Leo later this month, where it will undergo its next 18-month cycle, there will be a counter pull to the otherwise natural desire associated with Leo to gain attention. It will have the effect of unravelling habitual patterns, attitudes, and assumptions or dogmas that are pushed onto others without deeper consideration of their genuine truth.
A transit of a planet through any sign has many sub-stages as well, since each Sign can be understood to contain the entire Zodiac within it. This is not common knowledge, but is a core feature of Holism, or the paradigm within which Astrology exists.
Holism is the paradigm of nature, actually. Modern physics, especially that of Quantum Physics, has come to this clear realization, and mathematics and biology especially, as with the way in which the expression of the natural world reveals rhythmic patterns at every scale. Chemistry too yet reveals this symmetrical principle and innate intelligence, as well as with the intricate way in which DNA is formed.
Yet other branches of science have yet to catch up and remain restricted by the mechanistic model associated with the materialistic paradigm, and continue to assert notions of chance and randomness as source causes of life. This intellectual rigidity is just another one of the many ways that fundamentalism becomes established in the minds of people in many areas of society.
In short, Holism reveals intelligence at the very essence of life, and it therefore extends itself to deeper considerations that even transcend science, converging with both philosophical and metaphysical perspectives. After all, when the evidence of life transcends the limitations of mechanistic materialism, we are left to endeavor to understand it from different perspectives, and this is where Holism comes to the fore. As the story goes, it is the most ancient paradigm.
While any planet transiting any sign hosts myriad levels of influence and, subsequently, interpretation, the emphasis of Jupiter in Leo does at least include the question of origins, in part because Leo in Astrology is ruled by the Sun itself. Interestingly, we actually ‘live in the Sun’, in its energy field which encompasses the entire ‘solar system’.
While there is much to say about this principle of Holism, we can bring the focus down to more basic levels for practical application, as with how its transit through Leo is generally destined to influence each Zodiac Sign, which correctly understood, represent the respective divisions of a circle, the symbol of spheres and cycles.
PS: The Zodiacal Constellations are the projection of the divided circle or cycle. The fact that there are multiple systems of Astrology each hosting ‘different Zodiacs’ is testimony to this fact, yet the literalism of popular notions that the centaur Sagittarius, for example, was ‘discovered’ along the plane of the ecliptic, as opposed to representing a projection of a mythological figure, offers an example of popular assumptions supported by wide-eyed credulity and then defended by rationalized logic and then broadcasted on ‘tel-a-vision’ anchoring the conviction forevermore by susceptible viewers. As the world turns…
