Uranus says: Come to the comic table and eat. Like the Grail table, if we are living our deepest values, we will be nurtured by the food we desire most.


These four energies work together to show us we can make new choices about our lives. That's a good story to start this year off right.


Jupiter moved into the sign of Aquarius yesterday, January 5th. On the 11th day of Christmas, Jupiter makes his appearance as the archetypal Santa Claus, bringing expansive possibilities and visions to the 11th sign of Aquarius.


After a year working with Capricorn's energies, Jupiter leaves behind the decay of our social structures. Our infrastructure is breaking down, our economic structures are tottering, and our national moral fabric is in shreds. Jupiter seems to have had a rare old time in Capricorn! Jupiter expands anything it touches, for good or ill.


Now Jupiter takes on Aquarius, the age of high ideals, world unity and technological advances. Jung said that the age of the water bearer would be an age when the contents of the collective unconscious are poured out for humanity to see and deal with.


So what do we know about the biggest planet in our solar system. In mythology, Jupiter is curious, he constantly pushes his energy into unknown territory. He is the King of the Gods. Zeus, Jupiter's Greek counterpart, spends quite a bit of his time seducing maidens and goddesses. He is attracted to feelings and intuitions, to passion and love. His attributes are the thunderbolt and the aegis.


The aegis was Zeus' protective shield and was either borrowed from or given to his daughter Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. Zeus is said to have used the skin of the goat Amalthea (aigis "goat-skin") which suckled him in Crete, as a shield when he went forth to do battle against the titans. This goat goddess was symbolized by 'Amalthea's horn' which is the cornucopia, the symbol of inexhaustible riches. So Zeus is protected by the source of inexhaustible riches. To be "under someone's aegis" means doing something under protection of a powerful, knowledgeable, or benevolent source. So getting in touch with your 'inner Jupiter' might be a good idea for all of us.


Which takes us back to Jupiter in Aquarius. That curious, protective, lucky, expansive, all powerful energy is going to explore Aquarius from top to bottom this next year. Aquarius is the sign of humanity, of equality and diversity, of community as well as globalism, of innovation and societal reform. As a fixed air sign, Aquarius is the home of humanity's ideals and spiritual destiny. The possibilities are endless and the sky's the limit when Jupiter moves into Aquarius.
