All About Jupiter
Jupiter is one two Social Planets (the other being Saturn) Social Planets  are further from the earth and the last ones that can be seen with the naked eye. For this reason they move slower and so transits of these planets don't occur as often as the Personal Planets. Social Planets represent themes with which we are confronted with in life but which rise above the individual experience. That is not to say, however, they the energies of the Social planets don't have a personal meaning in our charts.
Jupiter's mantra is I Expand and it represents potential, talent, and luck as well as areas of ease where you can grow, and expand. Some keywords associated with Jupiter include but are not limited to the following: ​expansion, abundance, chance, cheerful, education, faith, gambling, growth, hope, luck, optimism, philosophy, religion, truth-seeker, success, wisdom, benevolent, broad-minded, generous, sporting, jovial, big.
General Jupiter in Pisces - I Grow Compassion
When Jupiter (I expand) is in Pisces (I Believe) people are generally more sensitive, compassionate, introverted, romantic, artistic, and creative.  This is a good time to let go of negative patterns of thought and behavior. Spirituality becomes more important under this transit and people are more willing to push past the boundaries of what holds them back. They are also more sympathetic and understanding of others  and are more willing to help them - but only in such a way that they do not draw too much (if any) attention to themselves. When Jupiter is in Pisces you can see an increase in anonymous acts of charity.
The house that Jupiter in Pisces is transiting in your birth chart represents the area of life in which you will feel this transit most strongly.
  • If your rising sign is Aries, Pisces is your 12th House
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Pisces is your 11th House
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Pisces is your 10th House
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Pisces is your 9th House
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Pisces is your 8th House
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Pisces is your 7th House
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Pisces is your 6th House
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Pisces is your 5th House
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Pisces is your 4th House
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Pisces is your 3rd House
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Pisces is your 2nd House
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Pisces is your 1st House
Example
Jupiter + Pisces + The 5th House
I Grow + I Believe + Love, Children, and Creative
When Jupiter is in Pisces and the 5th house of love, children, and creativity you become more in touch with your inner child. Imagination, intuition, and creativity increase and you are inspired to create something, express yourself, and have fun. You are more willing to be push past a natural tendency to be introverted so that you can be more sociable. This could be a a time when you meet someone special in terms of love and romance.
Aspects
Aspects, or relationships between planets is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be examined. Looking at my own chart, Jupiter at 0° Pisces is making soft aspects to my Natal Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Ascendant; and a hard aspect to my natal Neptune. Soft aspects represents areas of ease and comfort whereas hard aspects represent difficulties to overcome. All of these aspects deserve to be examined further, but for the purpose of this entry I am going to focus on the tightest aspects. Remember the closer, or tighter, and aspect is to exact the stronger and more powerful it is believed to be.
Although it is separating (or moving further away) the tightest aspect in my chart for this transit is transit Jupiter Sextile my Natal Moon. Under this aspect opportunities to do more and be more are presented to you. This could be the beginning of BIG things in your life and you can expand your horizons now. You're more persuasive now and can really rally other people to get behind you and help you with your dreams and goals.

Sun in Capricorn

 


Sun in Capricorn

Whole Houses

Sun in Capricorn (General)
The Sun enters Capricorn tonight announcing heralding the Winter Solstice and therefore the beginning of Winter.  Perhaps it should not surprise you, dear reader, then that when the Sun enters Capricorn people become colder - both figuratively and literally. With another year almost behind them, people may feel older, and more responsible. They may settle into a more practical mood or mindset and turn their attention and interest to their financial affairs, set new responsibilities for themselves, and become more determined.
As you can see from the chart above The Sun and Jupiter are about 4 degrees apart and therefore applying a conjunction between the two planets.  The expansive energy of Jupiter amplifies the confidence, creativity, and power of the Sun. For the short time this aspect is active, people may feel more confident and so this is also a good time to start something new or to accept new opportunities and make the best of them.
Where Capricorn falls in your chart is the area of life where the ingress of the Sun in Capricorn will most be felt.
  • If your rising sign is Aries, Capricorn is your 10th House.
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Capricorn is your 9th House.
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Capricorn is your 8th House.
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Capricorn is your 7th House.
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Capricorn is your 6th House.
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Capricorn is your 5th House.
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Capricorn is your 4th House.
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Capricorn is your 3rd House.
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Capricorn is your 2nd House.
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Capricorn is your 1st House.
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Capricorn is your 12th house.
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Capricorn is your 11th House.
Example
The Sun + Capricorn + 3rd House
With the Sun in Capricorn and the third house of communication, siblings, and short journeys you become more disciplined and responsible in  the way in which you communicate with others.  Your mind if more active and overflowing with thoughts and ideas and that energy of Capricorn helps you to sort through them in a more systematic and disciplined manner.
The Aspects, or relationship between planets is another dimensions of astrological interpretation that is to be considered. I've already touched upon the aspects in the transit chart above, however, one should also look at the aspects between the planets in the transit chart and those in one's birth chart. For example, The Sun in 0° Capricorn is applying an opposition to Saturn in 3° Cancer.
Saturn is called the Great Teacher and when he touches another point or position in your chart you are presented with a lesson designed to help you grow, mature and evolve. Unfortunately, these lessons often come in the form of some kind of challenge or difficulty that we must overcome. When the Transit Sun makes an opposition to Natal Saturn you experience blockages and obstacles that present a blow to your ego. This is a time to strive for making better decisions an living more responsibly.

Venus Retrograde in 26° Capricorn

 



Venus Retrograde 12/19/21 2:36 AM Whole Houses 
Venus Retrograde (General) 
Venus stations retrograde approximately once every 18 months and it usually last for about 40 days. Those things ruled by Venus, such as money and love, are affected by Venus Retrograde.
  • Love - When Venus stations retrograde, we tend to see couples break up, and in some cases get back together. We also tend to see ex-lovers come back into our lives. Venus Retrograde is a good time for us to evaluate our relationships. This usually occurs so that one or both parties can get closure, not necessarily so that they can reconcile.
  • Money & Values - Venus has sway over those things that we value, so when Venus stations retrograde this is also a good time to review our values. We also need to reevaluate our relationship to money. How important it is to us and what we are willing to do to get it.
  • Taurus and Libra - Because Venus rules both Taurus and Libra, those born under this sign may have a much more difficult time navigating Venus Retrograde.
Venus Retrograde in 26° Capricorn (General)
With Venus Retrograde occurring int he public sector of the chart, people become much more concerned about how they are perceived by others. They may question their own worth and how they leverage their worth (labor) to make money for themselves. Some people may (re)discover their passion for their career or job. This is a good time to (re)define one's goals and aspirations, getting a clear picture of your expectations and what you want in terms of money and love.
Any workplace romances can sour now, and it is possible that a past workplace relationship can come back to haunt you as well.
Venus Retrograde and You 
Where Capricorn falls in your natal chart is the area of life where Venus in Capricorn will most be felt.
  • If your rising sign is Aries, Capricorn is your 10th house.
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Capricorn is your 9th house.
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Capricorn is your 8th house.
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Capricorn is your 7th house.
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Capricorn is your 6th house.
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Capricorn is your 5th house.
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Capricorn is your 4th house
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Capricorn is your 3rd house.
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Capricorn is your 2nd house.
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Capricorn is your 1st house.
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Capricorn is your 12th house.
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Capricorn is your 11th house.
Example 
Venus Retrograde in Capricorn and the 3rd House 
The third house rules communication. When Venus stations retrograde in Capricorn and the 3rd house, you can expect issues related to communication as they pertain to your work, income, or relationships. During this period, you may question whether the people you involve yourself with on a daily basis are worth the effort or a waste of time that add nothing of value to your life.
Aspects
Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, in my own chart, Venus Retrograde at 26° Capricorn is separating a conjunction to my Natal Jupiter at 02° Aquarius. This is a weak aspect because the orb is so wide, and it is separating - meaning the planets are moving farther apart. Under this aspect you can generally see your social network growing, however since Venus is retrograde, it can manifest as reviewing how you social with others to bring you pleasure and friendship.
How will Venus Retrograde manifest for you?
