Summer officially begins on May 11 when the big planet Jupiter enters the fiery sign of Aries, where it will remain until October 28. The planet of wisdom and expansion has been in Pisces, the big ocean where all of human history washes up, for the first block of 2022. Jupiter in Pisces has sparked a return from seclusion to communion, melting the ice of hardened sentiments, dreams, and possibilities. We were nearly swamped in a tidal wave of hyper-empathy and then detachment as a result of the Piscean connection. But, one way or another, we’re the only ones we’ve got.
As Jupiter enters Aries for a summer vacation, we crawl out of the ocean (or the vacuum) and return to dry land, and the direction of our own two feet. Jupiter promotes action and kicks off the new decade in earnest while in the sign of originality, drive, and new beginnings. What does this transition from global to personal signal imply for you, from watery entanglement to fiery courage? What effect do retrogrades have on Jupiter’s progress? To meet this epic transit in full gallop, read our Jupiter in Aries 2022 guide below.

JUPITER BASICS
Jupiter, as the greatest planet in our solar system, shines with light, power, and synthesis wherever it goes. If the sun rules your horoscope, Jupiter represents your highest self: the Jedi in tune with the Force, the Avatar mastering the four elements, the One who can freeze bullets with his palm. Jupiter opens a door to advancement through travel, research, and experience wherever it sits in your horoscope.
Because Jupiter spends about a year in each sign, its transits aid in elucidating bigger cultural shifts without becoming too massive (Uranus) or generational (Saturn) (Pluto). Jupiter has broken the bounds of awareness in true Piscean manner for its early 2022 tour, bringing up the past (And Just Like That), pushing ecstasy to disenchantment (Euphoria), and twisting time (Severance) (Everything Everywhere All At Once). Pisces is the zodiac’s final sign, the source wall at the universe’s edge, and the synthesis point for all lessons learnt. Jupiter’s visit has brought us to a point of saturation, where the last twelve years of human evolution have been merged, subverted, and cannibalized. It’s all postmodern, overstimulating, and draining.
JUPITER IN ARIES 2022
But, just as Pisces is about to completely disconnect us from reality, Aries arrives to save the day. Spring is heralded by the first sign of the zodiac, which ushers in a flurry of sexual and creative energy. Aries breaks the chord that connects us to the one awareness and returns us to our bodies. Sarah Michelle Gellar, warrior princess Lucy Lawless, spy girly Jennifer Garner, and bona fide romantic Sarah Jessica Parker are all members of the Aries pantheon. To be clear, this is the sign of the hero, the star, the one who responds to a greater calling.
Jupiter’s transit through Pisces has ushered in doomsday predictions for climate change and worldwide strife; it’s become cliche to lament the end of the world. Jupiter in Aries will bring us new heroes, artists, and visionaries who would rather build a better world than grumble about the one we have. Aries is the sign of war, and its highest frequency produces combustive fire through conflict and confrontation. Saturn’s current transit through Aquarius has entrapped us in a culture echo chamber fueled by isolation and misunderstanding. The ram can’t be stopped as it pushes forward, and it doesn’t give a damn who gets insulted. For proof, go no farther than Aries classics like Lil Nas X, Quentin Tarantino, and Camille Paglia.
Clearly, the current cultural order needs to be restructured. Despite the fact that the new decade is only two years old, its growth has been severely stifled for obvious reasons. Jupiter in Aries jolts us out from our communal slumber and sets us on our separate ways. The era of reacting to the reality and then virtue signaling about it has passed us by. Jupiter in Pisces has unveiled the globalized social media’s corruptions and distortions. When you’re born under the sign of Aries, the planet of wisdom encourages you to develop your own unique point of view, to stop commenting and start creating. The only thing that made me, or any of us, exceptional was that no one in all of history would ever perceive the universe exactly the same way any of us saw it, writes Grant Morrison in Supergods. What, regardless of the repercussions, calls to you and only you?
Jupiter last passed over Aries in 2010 and 2011, marking the start of yet another cultural pause, this time a stagnant transition following the financial disaster that razed the Bush era’s old world order. Of course, two fire sign champions, incapable of nuance, snatched the reigns and raced ahead: Sagittarius Nicki Minaj’s world-dominating debut Pink Friday and Aries Lady Gaga’s raw, batsh*t magnum opus Born this Way. But, while the queens were stealing the show in a transition year, the decade’s great artists were busy preparing the future: Lena Dunham, an indie darling at the time, was filming her new series Girls; Marvel was preparing to put all six of its Avengers in one film for the first time; and Charli XCX, Grimes, Azealia Banks, Lana Del Rey, and Frank Ocean were preparing their first great works, largely in secret. When Jupiter entered Taurus in 2012, it would bring all of this to a head.
Consider this summer, followed by Jupiter’s dip into Aries in early 2023, as a moment of new creative participation. The world is in a state of confusion, and it need your unique talent, knowledge, or experiences to bring it back to life. Don’t worry about the benefits of your work just yet: Aries doesn’t have time to think about the payday. Action, combustion, and anything that thrills or motivates you are the focus. When Jupiter enters Taurus next year, you’ll be releasing something new into the world and changing the cultural conversation forward. Stop whining about it. Begin by doing.
RETROGRADES AND KEY DATES
Jupiter will be in Aries from May 11 to October 28, however it will only be direct (not retrograde) from May 11 to July 28. Consider the months of May, June, and July to be the most adventurous. Jupiter enjoys new experiences, so plan any travels, courses, or training that will broaden your horizons. Meanwhile, Aries thrives on touch, so accept all invitations, attend all parties, and show up for all dates. Each new conquest is fueled by a new effect. Bravery is a virtue that will be rewarded.
Jupiter is retrograde in Aries from July 28 to October 28, when it will return to Piscean waters and start its straight journey on November 28. When this retrograde starts, you’ll probably notice a lull in the ferocity of the previous months. Consider this a reassessment, especially once Jupiter enters Pisces and you can integrate any new ideas or motives into the wider scheme. On December 21, Jupiter will return to Aries, where it will stay until May 16, 2023. This is your time in the studio to think about what you want to do next.
Of fact, even when Jupiter is unbound in Aries, other planets, such as Mercury (May 10June 2 and again September 10 through October 2) and Saturn (June 4October 23), will be trapped in their own reverse revolutions. This summer, like the last, promises to be perplexing, with many starts and stops, false starts, and dreams dashed. Jupiter, on the other hand, gets expertise via all types of experience, and what you learn in the transitions, or silent periods, will help you stay on track. Don’t question your calling or get off the horse. Cherish every lesson and relish the solitude. The new decade is barely getting started. Why put a halt to it now?
What is the duration of Jupiter’s stay in Aries?
Jupiter enters Aries on May 10, 2022, and stays there until October 28, 2022. It will make a one-time appearance from December 20, 2022, through May 16, 2023.
What are the zodiac signs associated with Jupiter?
The sun (Sol) and the moon, the major bearers of light and heat, were assigned to Leo and Cancer, respectively, since the months when the sun moved through these signs (in ancient times) were the hottest and had the longest days.
Saturn, on the other hand, was given the rulership over Aquarius and Capricorn, the signs opposite Leo and Cancer, respectively, because it was the most distant (and thus “coldest”) of the planets known to ancients.
The signs on either side of Aquarius and Capricorn (Pisces and Sagittarius) were assigned to Jupiter, the next farthest away, and Mars, the next in order, was given the following two (Aries and Scorpio).
Mercury was thought to dominate the two signs on either side of Leo and Cancer (Virgo and Gemini) because it never appeared more than one sign from the Sun in either direction, and Venus was deemed to rule Libra and Taurus because it never appeared more than two signs from the Sun in either way.
The discovery of planets outside of the geocentric field of vision in modern times created a quandary for astrologers, which was eventually resolved by a consensus declaring Uranus to be Aquarius’ ruling planet, while Neptune was assigned to Pisces, and Pluto, the higher octave of Mars, was assigned to Scorpio.
To provide place for new dignities, certain modern authorities employ the concept of “night rulerships.” The day ruler of Aquarius was set to Uranus, while the night ruler was set to Saturn. Similarly, Neptune ruled the day in Pisces, leaving Jupiter to govern the night, while Pluto ruled the day in Scorpio, leaving Mars to dominate the night. This idea was most likely derived from the concept of an astrological cult, but it was the only surviving trace of the group in current times. Unfortunately, these modern recommendations were not taken into account in the intricate old theology of essential dignities, although the concept was immensely popular.
The employment of twin rulerships in this manner was referred to as “co-rulership.” Some astrologers believed that the new co-rulers were primary rulers of the signs with which they were associated, and that if that was the case, two other planets, one linked to Libra or Taurus and the other to Virgo or Gemini, might be waiting to be discovered, removing the need for dual rulership of a sign. Ceres has been mentioned as the ruler of Virgo or Taurus, despite the fact that its standing in astrology has yet to be definitively determined. It is the ruling planet of Virgo for some modern astrologers, especially many European astrologers, based on observations of its involvement in synastry charts. Ceres was awarded rulership of Virgo by the generation of astrologers who first encountered it in the early 19th century following its discovery, before it was demoted to an asteroid in the middle of the 19th century. It is the ruling planet of Taurus, along with Venus, according to a minority of astrologers. It’s possible that it has nothing to do with any sign, but in any case, it’s virtually certainly related to the Earth element.
Which planet bestows good fortune for Aries?
Fiery Aries’ fierce and passionate energy comes from Mars. This is what drives them to be the pack’s leaders. Aries has the bravery to be a warrior in life since it is a planet of sex, drive, determination, and energy. Aries is fueled by Mars’ aggressive and impulsive energy, which propels them to be an unstoppable force and build the life they want.
What does Jupiter’s position in Aries imply?
Jupiter’s position in Aries is a potent one for this massive planet. People born under the Cardinal Fire zodiac sign have the most luck when they take the lead and jump into the spotlight. When individuals take action and grasp the day rather than waiting for others to do it for them, they are able to find success and opportunity. The world bends more easily to their will when they choose to innovate, encourage others, and demonstrate courage. These people have a tendency to think large, to recognize when it’s appropriate to take risks, and to create their own opportunities. You shine brightly when the Sun is in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius.
In astrology, where is Jupiter now?
Despite a disastrous end to the previous year, the year 2022 ushers in a new horizon of possibilities. Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and expansion, has returned to Pisces, where it will dominate for the majority of the year, as of December 28, 2021. Even if the year begins with a Venus retrograde and ends with a Mercury retrograde in mid-January, the sensation of restricted freedom cannot persist indefinitely. Every floodgate is blown open when Jupiter unleashes the force of Pisces, causing a downpour of consciousness, creativity, and imagination. Regardless of how bleak the current outlook, 2022 has the seeds of creativity and fruition, of realizing aspirations and uniting with romantic, spiritual, and fantasy objectives.
From December 28, 2021, to May 11, 2022, Jupiter swims across Pisces, and then again from October 28 to December 21, 2022. Jupiter will spend the summer in Aries, from May 11 to October 28, focusing on themes of independence, drive, desire, and embodiment. Jupiter moves retrograde from July 28 to November 23, causing a halt or review of its progress. The first seven months of the year, through mid-summer, are good for working with the planet of light and synthesis. Read our Jupiter in Pisces guide for more information on how to take advantage of the year’s biggest awakening.
Mercury and Venus, the planets nearest to the sun, move through the zodiac at a frantic rate, completing the twelve-sign tale in a year and initiating personal changes and advancements as they go. Saturn and Pluto, for example, move within one sign for several years at a period, signaling epochs and generational transitions for the entire population. Jupiter falls in the middle, taking roughly twelve years to complete a full revolution in your horoscope at a rate of about one sign per year.
Jupiter is called after the god-king who sent lightning bolts of insight from the skies and traveled freely among his human people, seeking coital pleasures and adventure without bounds. It’s showtime everywhere the planet goes, with a great cosmic spotlight on a certain place in your horoscope. Jupiter, like Pisces, rules Sagittarius, a sign obsessed with learning and self-improvement, and as its emissary, Jupiter absorbs experiences and synthesizes them into wisdom. Wherever Jupiter goes, it delivers results, clarity, and momentum.
JUPITER IN AQUARIUS
Jupiter has been collaborating with Saturn in Aquarius, a sign concerned with new modalities, technologies, and worldwide progress, from December 20, 2020 until December 28, 2021. On a public level, Jupiter has accelerated the distribution of vaccines, knowledge, and new technology in an effort to bring us up to speed with the existing world order and the coming decade. Jupiter has provided new platforms and frameworks for artistic expression, interpersonal functionality, and tailored healing on a personal basis. Jupiter, in a sign of creativity, has aided you in developing your own vision of how you wish to work and live.
JUPITER IN PISCES
Remember back in May of 2021, when everyone you knew had received their second vaccine and restaurants were starting to reopen, when witnessing your favorite drag queen live for the first time was no longer a pipe dream but a reality? Remember the first time you went back to the beach after a long winter in the dungeon and the doldrums? That was Jupiter’s summer peek in Pisces, which lasted from May 13 to July 29, 2021, before the great planet had to return to its Aquarian duties.
This year follows a similar pattern, with Jupiter going direct in Pisces, spending the summer in Aries, and then returning to Pisces in the fall and winter. Finally, Jupiter has returned to its proper place in the zodiac, the deep ocean, where all of our lessons, hardships, and joys have filtered in and combined to create something new. There are no bounds, no restrictions, and no reservations in Piscean consciousness. The Dune spice orgy and the big communion begin when Jupiter returns here. All of the coping methods, spiritual tools, artistic diversions, and odd conversations begin to converge after so much time feeling stuck and limited. You can start a new community or a new selfhood right now. You may start making your aspirations a reality.
It all culminates in April, when a whopping five planets enter Pisces, and Jupiter and Neptune, the sign’s rulers, realign for the first time in 50 years in their undersea kingdom. It’s Sofia Coppola season, which means it’s time to throw yourself headlong into the idyll, engage in your artistic activities, and open all doors to higher consciousness. You’re just another female in a sweater in the city, but during Jupiter in Pisces season, you’re a holy vessel.
JUPITER IN ARIES
Jupiter enters Aries, the sign of independence, energy, and velocity, on May 11th. Jupiter will give us a glimpse into 2023 and beyond from now until October 28, when the society turns from witchy to vampiric. We get to hammer it harder as the atmosphere moves from Blood Orange to Megan Thee Stallion, from diaphanous to low-rise. While Jupiter in Pisces takes us into the realms of the unknown via the cinematic imagination, Aries reintroduces us to our bodies and the immediate sensations of action and desire. You’ll have nearly a year to embrace an enterprising attitude and take initiative in love and career when Jupiter returns for a longer stay in 2023. This is a sneak peek, a chance to sit in the driver’s seat of your dreams.
WORKING WITH RETROGRADES
Jupiter enters Aries on July 28 and moves backwards into Pisces on October 28, only to return to direct motion from November 23 to December 21. It’ll be back on track in Aries for the last week of the year, ushering us into a daring 2023. The first five months of the year, as well as the brief December gateway, are great for tapping into Piscean creativity. Set your goals for May, June, and July, and make sure you’re firing on all cylinders.
The retrograde period, which runs from July 28 to November 23, does not mean that your dreams will fade or that the celebration will come to an end. Consider this retrograde more of a review, an opportunity to integrate and, better yet, finetune the lessons learned in the first half of the year. Jupiter, like Zeus, is prone to acting without much accountability, rushing forward at a rate it can’t entirely control. A retrograde provides an opportunity to double-check that the changes are permanent. Saturn will enter Pisces in 2023, giving structure to the changes Jupiter has brought about in your life. Expansion necessitates contraction. Allow yourself time to swim upstream and assess how far you’ve come and where you’re headed next. You have the solar system’s largest planet behind you. It will be worthwhile.
When does Jupiter pass through the 7th house?
Marriages, long-term relationships, and other types of partnerships take place in the 7th house. This is the ‘other’ house, and others are jolly (a term borrowed from Jupiter), receptive, cooperative, and generally desire your best during this time.
When did Jupiter make his entrance into Scorpio?
Jupiter enters Scorpio for a complete year on October 10th, and you’re golden. The sun and Jupiter collide on October 26th, a day when timing, hard work, and good fortune all come together.
When did Jupiter enter the zodiac sign of Pisces?
On December 28, Jupiter, the planet of luck, will enter Pisces, its all-time favorite sign. Madi Murphy, co-founder of The Cosmic RX and The Cosmic Revolution, said, “This is one of the most defining and most anticipated astrological occurrences of 2022.”
