The word “chance” is one of the most beloved words to people. Everyone is looking for their chance in life. Their chance to succeed. The chance as just a good coincidence. To be at the right place in the right time.
In this article I will focus on the issue about chances in our lives. Do we manage to capture them, how can we recognize them. We all want to succeed at something. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Why do you want to succeed? Have you ever asked yourselves this question? I'll give you one possible answer. Success is in direct relation to our own self awareness in terms of significance. For the fact that we are somewhere and we are needed by someone for something. Success is always connected with others. A successful jump that an athlete makes, has no meaning unless it is compared with the jump of another athlete.
When I’m watching people around me I can’t stop asking myself why is someone trying to be a financier, provided that he has no talent for finance and economics? And how this man wants to have a chance to be seen? Even if he gets one, he can not take advantage of it. Rather he fails.
A month ago I visited the hairdressers’ salon of a woman who has proven to be a hairdresser with golden hands. She decided to open her own salon. Naturally she hired people to work and she is pulled back to the position of "boss and manager." I was completely disappointed. She turned from an extremely good hairdresser, into an incompetent boss. Which is a hit on her success as a whole. Instead of getting the service which I visited the salon for - her golden hands - I got disappointment that made me not want to use the services of this salon ever again. Even if the owner is a first-class hairdresser. What's the point of her talent when she threw it all away and she’s not using it?
I hope you understand my direction of thought.
Even if I sound a bit heretical (in the face of the modern world which is full of anger), every person is given many chances for success in one form or another. Chances are directly dependent on our ability to create. They are necessary for us to show our talents and abilities. And nothing more.
Jupiter present in every horoscope. In previous articles I emphasized the importance of Jupiter in the development of the human world and society as a whole, its importance as a driving power of man in general. This is the planet whose symbolism is associated with the opportunities, with the chances that life gives us.
But the most important thing, I want to say is that the chances that we get can be realized only if they are related to those abilities of ours that we have in the form of talent. And usually the greatest chances always come at times when we have no choice. When everything we face, appears to be the only possible path.
Every astrologer in defining the possibilities for success of a man always relies on what’s given in the personal horoscope. What is the benchmark of our success and what is its peak which we can achieve. Yes, it is romantic to live with the dream that we can be the greatest. But the reality is often harsh and sooner or later we have to land.
Our chances for success come to life through the movement of Jupiter over the years. Planets never stop their travel. And when they move they form various connections with other planets in the individual horoscope, they affect different areas of life. I will briefly mention that Jupiter travels around the zodiac in 12 years. And its average stay in a zodiac sign is 1 year. Which means that every year a different area in our life is intensified. It is exactly then that we get a chance for development, expansion, success.
Here I want to emphasize very strongly that Jupiter as a planet in our solar system does not have any real influence. None! This planet (and all the others) are not the reason for this or that event. Planets are symbols. They are the language through which we receive information about the conditions in which we are placed. For our inner motives to a moment. It is not the planets that make us do something. Rather, they are only "translate" for us in plain language what we intend to do.
The passing of Jupiter through the homes in the individual horoscope is particularly important in terms of opportunities we receive in life. The movement of this planet shows in what area of life an opportunity comes to change something, to improve it, to expand it. Where our social activity is targeted at, where we show initiative. What our plans are related to, our ideas, our aspirations. Our desire for realization in these life areas that are affected by Jupiter in its motion are especially intensified.
What are the highlights of this twelve-year transition of Jupiter through the individual horoscope?
When we talk about social, professional and public success, our strive towards this is magnified when Jupiter affects the 9th, 10th and 11th home from the individual horoscope. And also when it passes through our solar and lunar sign – the zodiac signs, in which the Sun and Moon are located in individual horoscope.
These are the brightest moments in life. Of course we can not expect that in all these situations we will get real results. Very often we grab the possibility quite involuntarily and spontaneously, we make a step imperceptibly even to ourselves. And years later we realize that this was a time when we got our chance.
When Jupiter passes over the Sun:
It makes a man brighter, more visible. He is filled with optimism and confidence. He feels a great desire to make something of himself in some way, to stand out. The physical endurance enhances and the body is charged with energy.
During this transition we can get the opportunity to start something new. To launch a new type of personal appearance. To star realizing what the Sun symbolizes in the horoscope. In this relation it is good to know which area of the individual horoscope Sun and Jupiter are related to. Each planet, except for its main natural meaning is "responsible" for something special. For example, if the Sun in individual horoscope is responsible particularly for finance, we have to also add this specificity. Therefore, in the transition over the solar sign, Jupiter will activate not only the above mentioned opportunities, but it will also affect our financial condition as it will cause changes to it (both with a positive and with a negative sign sometimes). In order to enable us to develop precisely in this direction.
In this transit not always there are external events and definitive change in the circumstances of life. Rather, this is kind of start to "liberate" some part of our personal energy to put it into circulation.
When Jupiter passes over the moon
This is my favorite transit. There is no other like it. It is always associated with external events. It always brings something new in life that changes our existential existence - a new job (or at least a new post), a new residence, a new partner (or parting with an old one), children. Somehow this transit is much more important than the transit of Jupiter over the Sun, as it is always accompanied by external events that change almost completely our way of life. For it we should also take into account for what else are the moon and Jupiter responsible for in the individual horoscope.
Our emotional world is changing beyond recognition, and usually this is a very turbulent year. We somehow lose our stability in one place to find it somewhere else. It is often accompanied by lack of mental and emotional balance. But it always gives us the opportunity to bring the necessary changes in our life. Especially in our instinctive-emotional world and personal life.
When Jupiter passes through the ninth house of the horoscope:
This is our biggest chance to acquire new knowledge to improve ourselves at something. To open new horizons for ourselves. In this transit everything that comes to us in the form of information, training, knowledge, experience, is something that could give us a chance to succeed in making the best of ourselves. This house most completely represents our purpose, it satisfies our sense of purpose in life. Here's our motivation, our "inner voice", which knows best where we should go.
When Jupiter passes through the 10th house of the horoscope:
Most astrologers fall into a "wow" effect when they see this transit. Yes, but not always. I noticed that the transition of Jupiter through the 10th house can be among of the most unstable periods. During the year, when this happens, there are created conditions to get our best chances for social fulfillment in life. But this happens in two ways.
One is associated with a sense of complete frustration, which turns into a very strong incentive to seek other areas in which to pursue success. A good example of this is a politician who fails precisely in this "brilliant" transition of Jupiter through the home related to publicity, career and professional success. The passing of Jupiter through the 10th house carries failure as a chance to turn in another direction.
The second way is related to the sense of adequacy. It is in this case precisely come recognition and success in its purest form. This is the time when proposals come, the opportunity comes to get on the highest possible peak for us. To demonstrate our superiority, to take our rightful place, to start a new career.
When Jupiter passes through the 11th house of the horoscope:
This house in the horoscope is associated with the implementation of our greatest desires. And precisely that passage of Jupiter through it, gives us such an opportunity. During the year in which this transition takes place, the social life is renewed. We get a chance to change our environment, to acquire new contacts which will later be useful to us in order to make our dreams come true.
I associate this transition with the possibilities in life more than any other, because there is nothing better than making your dreams come true, fulfilling some desires of ours and gaining new ones. Desire is the most powerful incentive for each person. It is the spark in man. There is nothing better than wanting something with a passion, with deep passion. And nothing sweeter than finding yourself face to face with your dream come true.
Of course it also important how Jupiter "relates" with the various planets of our horoscope and what "company" it does this with. It is important whether the transition of Jupiter over the sun or through the 10th house happens along with the transition of Saturn at a disadvantageous position to the sun (10th house respectively). I will give one example, since it is difficult to elaborate on this issue more closely.
In the year 2000 a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn took place in the sign Taurus. For all who have the Sun in this sign the year 2000 was a year of opportunities. The simultaneous passage of both planets symbolizes - "We are together. Together we give you a chance. Grab it."
After 10 years - in 2010 and part of 2011 - the opposition of Jupiter and Saturn takes place. Jupiter is moving through the sign Aries, and Saturn – through the sign Libra. For those who have Sun in Aries this is an year of opportunity. But this time, Saturn is in opposition and it may hinder their implementation or even not to give any chance at all. The two planets are "dancing". Jupiter gives the chance, but Saturn does not agree with everything. And who will prevail depends only the condition of Jupiter and Saturn in the individual horoscope - whether Jupiter will surrender over the limits of Saturn, or Saturn will bless the expansion of Jupiter.
At the end of this article I will write a few words on how to recognize the times in which life gives us a chance and opportunities. I guess it will sound illogical to you, but these are precisely those moments when we feel that we have no choice and we simply take the path. The only possible one.
