28 Apr A Comprehensive Guide to Jupiter Entering Aries
by Tiffany Harelik, MA, RYT
Jupiter moves into Aries on May 10th to October 28, 2022 (and again December 20, 2022 to May 16, 2023). Jupiter transited Aries last in 2010 and 2011.
Jupiter magnifies, enlargens and grows. It brings optimism, big eyes, and faith. Astrologer Stephen Arroyo refers to the positive Jupiter traits at progress, prosperity, and potential. On the down swing, Jupiter can influence laziness, weight gain, and a tendency to be overly lost. When it moves into Aries on May 10th, we will see the ‘Self” highlighted in media, at work, and at home.
Jupiter in Aries reminds us: The life you live is your example to the world. Where do you want to take initiative? What kind of leader are you being to your family and friends? Jupiter in Aries tends to super-size the “self”. When we can’t find a win-win, maybe it’s time to find a win-lose.
The cosmic magnifying glass (Jupiter) is on you (Aries). Do you want to keep a running list in your journal? Journal Prompts: Where have I been selfish, self-centered, self-righteous, self-loathing, self-seeking? Where have I been too selfless? Where could I be more selfless? What are the symptoms of growing pains? What am I ready to say yes to? Our decisions article has some great prompts too!
Jupiter in Aries favors ultimate growing experiences. But we will also see the darker side of Aries magnified in the news. Selfishness, self-seeking, and self-centered behaviors may rear their heads (for healing). We will see more competition with each other, in the supply chain, and even in nature. As we embrace Jupiter moving into Aries, now more than ever should we celebrate personal growth. Look how far you’ve come!
But how does all of this affect you personally? Let’s take a walk through the houses to find out. First, you’ll need a copy of your birth chart. Second, find where Aries is in the chart – which house (or houses)? Note: we are not concerned with where your natal Jupiter is. We want to know where Jupiter in today’s Skies hits your chart.
Jupiter in Aries through the houses.
1st house
We also call the first house the Ascendant, or Rising sign. So if you have Aries rising, you’re in the right spot. When Jupiter crosses over from your 12th into your 1st house you have been undergoing a period of inner reflection and you’re ready to come out and shine. This transit can give you energy for ‘self’: self-improvement, becoming the star of the show, personal expression, etc. You may move, travel abroad, or do something really big for the first time. In his book Exploring the Astrological Key to Jupiter, Stephen Arroyo says that Jupiter crossed John Lennon’s first house when he came “to the USA for the first time to appear on national TV on the “Ed Sullivan Show”. This experience opened new international horizons for the Beatles and vastly amplified their fame.”
What to work on when Jupiter is in your 1st house: Your identity. Take proper measures to secure your identity, and be aware of how you want to show up in the world. You are your own lucky star. Be aware that weight gain is a common characteristic of Jupiter in the 1st as well.
2nd house
Money, honey. Get ready for a financial blessing or a big investment. On the positive side, Jupiter in the 2nd is indicative of a financial windfall. The boss doubles your salary, you receive a big influx of cash, or something of large value is gifted to you. Abundance. On the negative side, remember that Jupiter expands what is. If you’re in financial troubles at the moment, it could be time to move through a bankruptcy or experience a big financial loss. The antidote here is to remain neutral. Jupiter likes long-term goals. Aries won’t let you give up.

3rd house

Embrace your inner home-body. The fourth house rules the home, deep-seated family patterns, and where you find comfort. You may be interested in remodeling your home or moving to a bigger house with more land. You might be considering expanding or blending your family. You may just need some comfort food and more nights ‘in’. Woody Allen is an example of Jupiter in the 4th in Arroyo’s book: “Throughout his many films, he has made light of (Jupiter) old fears and anxieties (fourth house). He has emphasized privacy and the ned of a full life over mere fame, as, for example, when he sent word that he could not be at the Academy Awards ceremony when he won the Oscar for Annie Hall because that was his regular night to play clarinet in a local band.”

Self-purification and the refinement of their skills and abilities afford them a greater sense of well-being and satisfaction.” Maybe it’s time to let your heart for service shine. Big growth and abundance are available for all when you do. In addition to service, the Virgo connection with this house brings in other elements that will be magnified: routines, details, manners, and health.
