How you grow
You grow by thinking differently and connecting with others who share your ideals. Groups, causes, networks and new technology can all expand your world. Astrologers say your confidence grows when you trust your own independent view, even when it runs against the crowd. Your growth often comes from experiments: trying a new way and seeing what happens.
Where luck finds you
Luck tends to come through friends, groups, networks and unusual ideas. Astrologers associate Jupiter in Aquarius with good fortune in science, technology, social causes and any collective effort, and with opportunities that arrive through a friend of a friend. Being part of a community that shares your vision is often where your best chances appear.
Beliefs and learning
Your beliefs are humanitarian and open-minded. You value freedom, equality and reason, and you may be drawn to ideas about how society could work better. You learn best when you can question and explore independently. Astrologers say your philosophy is broad enough to include very different people, as long as they respect each other’s freedom.
Generosity and excess
You are generous toward causes, groups and people who need a fair chance. The excess side is detachment or stubborn idealism: caring about humanity in general more easily than about the person in front of you, or holding on to a theory after the facts have changed. Jupiter enlarges Aquarius’ independence. Astrologers suggest balancing your vision with warmth.
In relationships
In relationships you value friendship, equality and plenty of personal space. You are drawn to partners with original minds and you respect their independence as much as your own. Astrologers say your relationships deepen when you share ideals and when you let warmth show alongside your openness.
Your Jupiter return in Aquarius
When Jupiter returns to Aquarius, astrologers expect a season of new friendships, group projects and fresh ideas about the future. It is often a good time to join a community, support a cause or set a long-term goal that reflects your values.
How long Jupiter stays in Aquarius
Jupiter takes just under 12 years to circle the zodiac, so it comes back to Aquarius about every 12 years and spends about a year there. Between 1940 and 2040 it makes 8 complete passages through Aquarius. Each passage keeps Jupiter in Aquarius for between 289 and 379 days in total, usually about 377. Four passages are split into separate stays, because Jupiter turned retrograde near the edge of the sign and crossed it more than once. The next passage begins on Apr 12, 2032. Everyone born during the same passage has Jupiter in Aquarius, so its house and aspects in your own chart, shown by the birth chart calculator, add the personal detail.
Your Jupiter return seasons
Your Jupiter return happens each time Jupiter comes back to the degree it held at your birth, so it always falls during a later passage through Aquarius: around ages 12, 24, 36, 47, 59, 71 and 83. The table pairs each passage with the next one, your first Jupiter return season. The Jupiter return calculator gives the exact dates of every return for your birth date.
