Jupiter in Capricorn  2008

December 19, 2007 - January 6, 2009
Key words: time to be practical

Jupiter will be leaving Sagittarius and entering Capricorn in December 19 2007.  It will stay in Capricorn until January of 2009.
Jupiter stays in a sign for 12 - 13 months.

Capricorn is practicality, rationality and hardheadedness. It tells to us to be respectable, follow the rules, and learn from the past.  
2008 is all about manifesting and materializing your visions

Jupiter is the planet of luck, expansion, optimism and growth. This is your Midas touch so make a wish. Think ahead though,
about what you want to do over the next 12 years and where you want to be at the end of it.

In the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit Jupiter is called "guru" or teacher. This fits its association with the higher mind,
philosophy, truth and religion. Perhaps Jupiter's good fortune derives from the capacity to give us a larger view in which to see the
world.

There are rewards during this time if you make careful plans and stick to them.  Capricorn is persistence that will assist us to
overcome obstacles when the goals and methods of how to reach them are clear to us.  Any advances forward during this time are
more at a regular pace.  When it was in Sagittarius, there were great leaps forward and unfortunately some dramatic crashes.

Jupiter will also bring in opportunities for you.  Stay alert and seize those golden moments. The opportunities that will occur will
depend on where Jupiter is transiting in your chart.  Passively waiting for luck to knock on your door is not the way Jupiter works.
You need to be proactive. Start by looking for opportunities will prompt the Universe assist you

Jupiter is the gambler so do not be afraid to take risks. The more you leave your comfort zone, the greater your results

On a spiritual level, Jupiter in Capricorn brings new awareness of our role in the universe. Capricorn (along with Cancer) is called
the Gates of Heaven, where souls enter and leave the earthly realms.  Jupiter is also the planet of faith. It brings a sense of
optimism from knowing that greater forces are at work to support you on your path.

On the disadvantage of Jupiter, it is the planet of expansion.  It can be the expansion of our own waistline or seeing things clearly
due to denial.   Jupiter rules optimism and Capricorn is the realist and these energies can clash. At times, you may get
discouraged or impatient to see results. Do not give up. Keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground. Take time to
dream and plan. However, if you are stuck in a rut, watch out! Jupiter can act as a minor explosive device that blasts you out of
your rut onto a new path or perspective. One door is closing just as another is opening.

The expansiveness and optimism of Jupiter are restrained in Capricorn where speculation is limited to ideas that can actually be
turned into reality. This may put a hindrance damper on fantasies, schemes and dreams that entertain the mind but distract from
earthbound reality. Capricorn wants measurable results and will be especially skeptical about unproven concepts
