Luck, blessings, and expansion planet Jupiter, moving retrograde since July 28, 2022, has just dipped back into late Pisces. Jupiter throws the cosmic spotlight on one of the most complex and karmic areas of the zodiac - the final degrees of the entire zodiac, 28 and 29 degrees Pisces - from October 27 to December 20, 2022. Jupiter will station direct on November 23 at 28 degrees Pisces, re-entering Aries on December 20.
What follows is information that was first presented in a patron article on May 13, 2021 and then published on the public blog on December 21, 2021. I've updated it a little for this final dip of big, bold Jupiter in the sign of the fishies:
Jupiter in Pisces: Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual Wisdom, and Spiritual Law Put into Action in the Material World
During the transit of Jupiter through Pisces, we’re coming into new understanding as far as how to apply our spiritual principles and energy in the day-to-day world in the most effective and needed ways. Much of this will involve work that is invisible to most people. We’re acting as airy, invisible sylphs, flowing through even the toughest of situations and the tightest of tight spots by drawing on our unerring spiritual source and applying its guidance in the world.
Jupiter is a planet related to ethics, morals, and worldly experiences. We’re applying our own sense of right and wrong in this world, doubling down on a path of spiritual and energetic integrity, come what may.
Some tricky situations pertaining to this path may be all up in our faces during Jupiter in Pisces, as this planet has a tendency to blow things up to epic proportions.
The navigation of this transit could involve the translation and application of complex psychic/spiritual impressions, or it could be as simple as getting out of our own way and going with the flow.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and comes with some very complex conditions. This ingress and transit will highlight suffering on Planet Earth, but they also indicate a direct source of spiritual wisdom, truth, and knowledge that can be drawn on to keep our spirits bolstered and buoyed as we traverse the often suffering-filled human condition.
Those who live by an active spiritual philosophy in their day-to-day lives may experience relative ease under this transit. There may be renewed recognition of the wisdom (Jupiter) of living according to spiritual principles (Pisces), even in a highly materially-focused world. Those with a strong grasp of spiritual principles, applied successfully in the worldly life, may find themselves in the sweet spot during this transit with their particular wisdom playing a crucial role in some clutch moments.
If we have stubbornly clung to what we feel is right - to our spiritual and energetic integrity - in an ongoing way, Jupiter could provide considerable expansion, development, and blessings. If not, we get a chance to come into this spiritual and energetic integrity in new ways, defining these things and living them according to our own principles.
Jupiter transiting Pisces indicates a period of time when the world is thirsty for the spiritual, the otherworldly, the mystery and magic of the unseen energy underlying it all. A reason. A purpose.
Under this transit, the world is thirsty for a sense of the bigger spiritual picture and the broader spiritual meaning of our existence on this Earth. People are looking to put their trials and tribulations into broader spiritual context, particularly the trials and tribulations experienced during 2020 and 2021 so far. We’re asking ourselves the big questions, the questions human beings with exceptional awareness have asked for thousands and thousands of years. This connects us with those who have come before.
Jupiter, the half-human, half-horse centaur, is an explorer and a searcher. It wants to experience, and it wants to know. In Pisces, people are searching for spiritual truth, wisdom, and knowledge. They’re searching for transcendence and for spiritual faith that can carry them through times of tremendous challenge when there do not seem to be any immediate or easy answers to our problems.
This is also a dangerous time, however, a time when the human spirit can be ensnared, diverted, distracted, or hoodwinked by those playing the Spiritually Wise Figurehead or Super Renegade Truthteller cards.
After [2.5+ years] of global psychological warfare with no end in sight, with people’s empathy and survival fears being played like violins, we’re in a collectively weakened state. Our spiritual and psychic health are a little tattered, a little worse for wear. In certain instances, this is extreme understatement.
Enforced isolation (Pisces) has taken its toll on the social animals that are human beings. The lack of natural energy flow has left people feeling constricted with painful energy blocks in their physical bodies. The financial and security-based terror that has been created by forcing people out of work is truly monstrous, eroding, cruel.
It’s in these weakened states and in these emotionally-shredding times that charlatans, fakes, and slippery-tongued scheisters can slip in, appearing to provide some type of spiritual sustenance, support, or solution that is actually pure smoke and mirrors, nothing more than a confusing, energy-wasting diversion. Falling for it weakens people further.
Jupiter in Pisces is a bit of an Old Soul placement. Because Jupiter enlarges both blessings and pitfalls, we get an expanded view of the path of the Old Souls, the sensitives, and the Piscean/Neptunian types of Earth. Artists or addicts, poets or profiteers, healers or snake oil salesmen, spiritual guides or charlatans - Jupiter throws a spotlight on it all, on the whole kit and caboodle, for better or worse.
It’s a bit cliché, but intense suffering brings us closer to God, to spirit, to the immaterial element of ourselves, our lives, and our world. We transcend or rise above the difficulties of the human condition, inviting this spiritual levity simply because it’s too hard to do anything else. We place our attention on something beyond the material, beyond the day-to-day grind, because it’s just too much to carry otherwise.
We didn’t create the collective problems on Planet Earth, and we can’t take on full responsibility for them as if they are our own personal burdens. People could be itching to martyr themselves under this transit, but the truly wise will pull up on the reins before a situation of detrimental self-sacrifice is created.
We’re creating a new expression for Pisces, an expression of Pisces for the Aquarian Era, and detrimental self-sacrifice is highly outdated, to say the least.
Jupiter in Pisces shows us how everything is connected, how each piece is part of the larger whole.
The reach of art is in the spotlight with Jupiter transiting Pisces. The truth and beauty expressed through art can touch people 20, 200, 2,000, or 20,000 years after that art is produced. Art forms through the ages can show us that the realities of the human condition, the lows and highs, the suffering and triumphs, have not been all that different, regardless of the generation or era in which we live. The themes developed and questions raised through art echo, echo, echo through the ages, connecting us at the heart.
Jupiter is a planet related to the 9th house, the house of publishing, so literature from the past could be particularly illuminating during this transit - reading words written centuries or millennia in the past and being amazed to see our own thoughts, our own experiences, reflected back to us.
Under transiting Jupiter in Pisces, the most expansive and buoyant path involves living by natural law, spiritual law, or God’s law (whichever name you prefer), especially when the laws of the power establishment contravene these forms of law.
Spiritual (Pisces) freedom (Jupiter) is a major theme of the transit. The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions, however, and the concept of spiritual freedom – especially applied in the everyday world - can mean very different things to different people. Spiritual truth can be hard to pin down, especially how to apply it in a world that often seems to have rejected the spiritual element of life altogether. The full spiritual truth involves looking at painful blind spots (personal and collective), including the ways in which people have been hoodwinked and fooled historically, cyclically, time and time again, by the greedy and power hungry. The ways we’ve been fooled in love and romance is another big theme of this transit.
Jupiter takes about 12 years to make one full pass through the zodiac, spending about
one year in each sign.

There are etheric echoes, echoes, echoes coming to us from previous Jupiter in Pisces transits, and simultaneously, events that occur during the current transit send ripples ahead to future transits. Threads are being plucked that connect us to spiritual cycles we may have been unaware of or semi-conscious of prior to the application of the Cosmic Spotlight in Pisces.
The house or houses where Pisces lies in your natal chart and Secondary Progressed
chart indicate an area of mysterious expansion and growth during the year of Jupiter in
Pisces.
The transit of Jupiter in Pisces could highlight or intensify:
- Spiritual faith, purpose, meaning, or gifts
- The importance of living by spiritual/ethical principles and truth, even when this causes material-world discomfort
- The importance of living by natural law, spiritual law, or God’s law, especially when the laws of the power establishment contravene this
- Psychic attunement to nature, to the non-material realms, and to other people
- Extrasensory perception, clairvoyance, claircognizance, prophetic dreams, divination, receiving messages from nature, animals, or other avenues
- The healing arts
- Emotional and physical sensitivity
- The understanding that everything is connected at a spiritual or energetic level; what affects one, affects all – eventually; everything and everyone matters; nothing and no one is expendable
- Acceptance of things that can’t be proven quantitatively
- Spiritual wisdom being passed through the generations in a mysterious fashion, almost through osmosis
- Inner knowing and drawing from the spiritual source
- Situations where we must surrender and “go with the flow”
- The grieving process, including processing old grief that was put on hold in the past
- Forgiveness
- Compassion
- Blaming, scapegoating, and the use of sacrificial lambs
- Charlatanism, pseudo-spiritual fakery, smoke and mirrors, illusions,
delusions, addictions, escapism, victimization
Under transiting Saturn in Aquarius (initial ingress March 21, 2020), there have been harsh restrictions (Saturn) placed on community events, friendships, and the gathering of those of like mind (Aquarius). There has been a concerted attempt to separate and divide people.
The spiritual (Pisces) truth (Jupiter) of the matter is that we cannot, ultimately, be separated. We cannot be cut off from the source of life and love, no matter how harsh our material conditions are made to be. The energy of our hearts and of our spirits can reach around the world, regardless of physical proximity. We can touch the hearts and souls of others with a supportive word, with a work of art, or with our simple attention and presence. The underlying spiritual and energetic connection among living things cannot be broken or compartmentalized, no matter how intensely that illusion is being played.
The transit of Jupiter in Pisces provides a healing balm to be placed on these artificial fractures and on points of extreme isolation and disconnect. We can create and maintain energetic connection, unseen connection, even when physically apart.
Spiritual truth and spiritual faith are in the spotlight during the transit of Jupiter in Pisces, and these things will be tested in practical ways as taskmaster Saturn brings up the rear in the sign of the fishies (March 8, 2023 to February 14, 2026). Spiritual principles aren’t worth much if they don’t stand up to real world pressure, and Saturn transiting Pisces will certainly provide those pressures.
[With transiting Jupiter in Pisces and Saturn in Aquarius], there is a layered effect with the two signs, and we’re receiving new knowledge about the successful transition of the astrological eras.
Some of these themes were discussed in a patron article from December 8, 2020, “The Aquarius Stellium of 2021 as the Centre of a Continuum: Drawing on Ripples from 60 Years in the Past and Sending Ripples 60 Years into the Future”
“Science is now beginning to “prove” what has been understood in Earth’s spiritual databank of knowledge for thousands of years. At the very basic building block level of matter, everything is energy. (Loving energy at that! Though that’s my own addition, not from science.)
Everything has an energy field, including human beings. These energy fields are not separate or isolated. They are constantly influencing and affecting each other, and the interplay of these energy fields has far-reaching, cascading ripple effects that are not always predictable.
Ultimately, energy is energy, and these fields all belong to the same energy, the same whole. The influence of an individual’s energy field has far-reaching and cascading ripple effects within the whole. What a person says or does has an effect in the surrounding environment, certainly, but even the person’s presence, the addition of the energy of that person, has an effect. The experiences of the human condition and the emotions crystallized through those experiences are also energy. This energy is passed through the generations and becomes innate wisdom or intuition.
Pisces for the Aquarian Era says: If one person’s version of progress harms another person, that is not true and rightful progress. If the group’s version of progress harms other people, that is not true and rightful progress. No true progress can be achieved by steamrolling people or by sacrificing their lives or best interests.
Because the sign of Aquarius can more easily detach itself from emotion and from the emotion of others than Pisces can (is this possible at all for Pisces?), it is easier for strongly Aquarian individuals or groups to plow forward with “progress” that is actually destructive and detrimental to at least a portion of life on the planet.
With Piscean awareness, it follows that what is destructive and detrimental to some is actually destructive and detrimental to all, to the whole of life, even if this is not immediately apparent on the material level.
It can be quite easy for Aquarius to disregard those being harmed as anomalies, as hindrances to progress, or as eroding to the collective good. A willingness to sacrifice these “anomalies” for the theoretical good of the group is a very dangerous place to be. Plowing ahead into the astrological Aquarian Era and creating “progress” by severing or detaching from Piscean qualities and wisdom will produce a dangerously imbalanced and dysfunctional situation…
It would be quite easy to hitch our wagons to the Jupiter engine of “unceasing expansion, growth, and largesse.” But there is, of course, no such thing as unceasing growth or expansion on Earth. We can’t forget that the engine of restriction, limitation, and grinding karmic lessons [Saturn] is coming behind, slowly but surely and much less glamourously…
There is a danger of the enforced rule of intellect and intellectuals over people with other forms of intelligence, including practical, emotional, or extrasensory.
Intellectual arrogance is one of the less desirable qualities of Aquarius, and it’s quite easy in this state to disregard, mock, or sever other forms of intelligence and awareness to the point that dangerously imbalanced and skewed conditions are created. Anyone who studies astrology, for example, will be well aware of the intense mockery and disgust directed at it by those who fancy themselves “scientific and rational.”
Aquarius is the sign of the humanitarian, but it’s also the sign of the eugenicist. The dangers of supremacist or elitist thinking are always concerns with this sign, and we must be cautious not to allow this to seep in, especially in ways made invisible by widespread social acceptance.
Because Aquarius likes to classify things scientifically, there is a danger that some lives or lifestyles could be classified as lesser than, as distasteful, as unnecessary, or as a hindrance to group progress and “the collective good.”
Science works with theories. It is always asking new questions and is never completely “settled,” but those wielding science as a weapon often use it as if it is absolute, unquestionable, beyond reproach.
Pisces knows there are things that exist beyond the provable scientific paradigm.
The story of Atlantis (legend or reality) shows us that we’ve been at a similar precipice before where man-made science and technology have erroneously been made infallible Gods. This created catastrophe and the end of the civilization of Atlantis.
So as we build stronger Aquarian energy and principles into the very fabric and
foundation of our world, we are also acknowledging and working with Piscean energy
and principles as equally important. We are looking to create the right harmony
between science and spirit, the rational and the emotional, the explainable and the
mysterious, the five physical senses and the extrasensory...
It’s important that we not only understand the lessons of the Piscean Era – both personal and collective - but that we accurately and effectively apply what we’ve learned.
Pisces is the sign of the victim and the scapegoat. It’s the sign relating to problems that are kept invisible, that are glossed over, and that are considered shameful. Pisces is the sign where all unsolved and unresolved problems from the first 11 zodiac signs are hidden away, pushed off and pushed off until they cannot be pushed off any further…
Pisces is the end of the zodiac line. It’s where the piper must be paid, one way or another.
The very difficult problems of Pisces, seemingly having no distinct beginning and no distinct end, are most often collective problems playing out in the lives and the psychic spaces of individuals. The sensitives of the planet get more than their fair share of these collective problems to live out in their individual lives, a valiant soul-level attempt to draw collective attention to the issues. These are the people who are often considered to have “bad luck,” to be born under ill-fated stars, or to be “bringing it on themselves.”
Again, though, the roots of the problems dealt with in Pisces, including mental health, addictions, and poverty, are most often connected to collective or systemic problems that require group awareness and action to solve…
Saturn is a planet that makes things concrete. It brings things out into the material world where we can see them and work with them. Saturn will transit Pisces from March 8, 2023 to February 14, 2026. You see, this will be a “paying of the piper” time. The problems that are so easy to ignore, to push off, to make invisible, to blame others for (Pisces) will be coming out into our concrete, material world (Saturn). Saturn is one of the most karmic planets. Pisces is one of the most karmic signs, again, most often relating to what is actually collective karma – individuals getting caught up in the consequences of how things have been done on a societal, group, or collective level.
Saturn transiting Pisces indicates that we’ll be challenged by a massive psychic backwash, and we must proactively work through things now to alleviate its impact. This is why it’s so important to pinpoint and understand the harming dynamics, to get to the roots of the systemic dysfunction causing mass harm, right now, right as we begin this shift.
Jupiter shines its big, bold light on the signs of Aquarius and Pisces in 2021 and 2022, but if we don’t look at the bad with the good, as Saturn brings up the rear, our lessons (individual, collective, or both) will be that much more severe.”
The desire for spiritual truth and for the ability to live freely by our own beliefs and principles (including by non-spiritual or atheist beliefs) is enhanced under the transit of Jupiter in Pisces.
This desire for spiritual or energetic freedom has burned in the hearts and souls of people for as long as human civilization has existed. To break the chains of externalized rule, and certainly authoritarian rule, has been a prime goal of much of humanity through the ages, and we get a glowing chance to advance things on this front in 2021/22.
Spiritual power and abilities are The Great Levelers. They don’t cost a single penny. Spiritual status is most often not reflected in material world status. Often, they seem to have an inverse relationship. The poetic philosophical nature of the homeless. The sublime and otherworldly artistic abilities of the addicted or mentally ill. The quiet wisdom, humility, and compassion of service workers.
During Jupiter in Pisces, the importance of spiritual status, knowledge, and ability is expanded, enlarged. Communication with the unseen realms is enhanced. Those in our lineages (spiritual and physical) are communicating with us. They’re sending their love to us. They’re providing extra illumination of some of the collective blind spots that have gotten us into trouble, generation after generation. We’re not free until we’re all free. The work we’re doing in the material realm, in the land of the living, works to free the spirits who suffered so much here. Our redemption is their redemption. Our freedom is their freedom. Our justice is their justice.
In other words, those who have gone before us have a vested interest in our success and will do what they can to assist this success. The assistance available to us from the spiritual or otherworldly realms is expanded, broadened, deepened under Jupiter in Pisces. There’s a joyful clamouring of entities coming to our aid. There’s honour in assisting us on the material plane, from a clearer vantage point on the other side, with the understanding that could only come after passing beyond the material realm.
The historical lies and half-truths of the power establishment and the (often obscured) long-term damage done by those lies and half-truths are two areas Jupiter will be illuminating during the transit of Pisces. This could run the gamut from the lies that have started wars to the lies that have poisoned people with government-approved corporate products - and everything in between. We can take the personal burdens, unfairly placed upon the people, and put them back where they belong – with the liars; the orchestrators; the power hungry; the unscrupulous; the scammers; the pure, greedy materialists, both then and now.
It’s been the same story, you see, playing out cyclically through history…
The Jupiter in Pisces transit indicates a time when the magic and mystery that underpin life on this planet come to the forefront in a big way. We’re drawing directly from the ancient source, from the source of all wisdom and knowledge, all beauty and truth, all love.
The Seer, the Healer, the Dreamer, the Artist, and the Mystic are prominent archetypal flavours for Jupiter in Pisces. Abilities that have been kept hidden or suppressed are now given freer rein. These abilities are needed now, so let them flow through you. Let this work be acknowledged.
People may be coming into newfound knowledge about their abilities and about their spiritual context during this transit – where they fit into the spiritual lineages, how their own abilities and experiences echo through time, space, and location.
Those who have been doing this type of work on the downlow may receive some type of advancement or expansion, a deepening into what we intrinsically know and what to do with it in the world.
With Jupiter in Pisces, we more clearly see the beautiful latticework of etheric connections that hold us and support us on this Earth, and we more clearly see our own place within this latticework. The expanded understanding of our spiritual context on Earth, available during Jupiter in Pisces, allows us to be more effective in the application of our spiritual principles in the material world.
During Jupiter in Pisces, we gain a broader understanding of what we’re really doing here on this planet. The rich spiritwork and soulwork usually kept invisible beneath material plane happenings now come under the Cosmic Spotlight, illuminated in new and enriching ways.
Don’t be afraid to step into your full status and position as a person of extraordinary sensitivity and ability. Feel the honour of this position, of this passed-down understanding, of these mystic gifts that were born into you and now flow through you. Feel the love and support coming to you from the other side, from those whose freedom is tied up with your own.
The truth (Jupiter) about our spiritual lineages (Pisces) is coming out in the open at a time when we are spiritually under attack by nefarious and anti-human forces. The illumination of truth about our spiritual lineages unravels many tight knots, solves many mysteries, and produces many awe-inspiring moments. We live as free spiritual beings in physical human form, no matter what our material conditions.
During Jupiter in Pisces, we make ourselves known as free spiritual beings. We uncloak our abilities and our birth-right powers. We take our personal stands and fill ourselves to the brim with the loving spirit. We revel in the delightful magic and mystery of this life, despite its considerable hardships. The veil between spiritual and material is thinner, altogether dropped at times, providing glimpses of a more harmonized way of living and being. Spiritual gifts are being revealed or expanded upon during this transit, and it is our great honour to receive and then channel these gifts into the world around us.
During Jupiter in Pisces, it’s the small graces, the humble graces, that get us through, and we’re paying these small graces forward – a word of support, a compassionate smile, a helping hand – at just the right moment, when they’re needed most.
Jupiter in Pisces is big love. It’s big love for this life, poured directly from our hearts out into the world around us. Tapping into it helps us soar beyond the weighty trials and tribulations of Earth.
Jupiter in Pisces is the big love that, in the end, makes it all worth it – every brutally, beautifully difficult moment of this life on this planet. Jupiter in Pisces is the big love that makes us smile and give a little wink and say, “Yeah. And I’d do it all again, too.”
During Jupiter in Pisces, share your big love with this world in the ways that only you can. Let it out there to do its thing. Keep the ephemeral beauty of this life firmly in mind. Time is always short, no matter if you live 100 years on this Earth. Live as if every loving gesture matters – because it does. The love we leave behind lives on long after our time in the physical world is up.
