Jupiter in Pisces: Do You Still Believe in the Future?

Today is the last day of 2021. Two days ago, on December 29, Jupiter officially entered the constellation of Pisces. Jupiter, also known as the "year star", its seat change has always been an annual eye-catching event.

Pisces is the guardian sign of Jupiter in classical astrology, and this time, Jupiter finally broke free of Saturn's shackles and came to its own territory, able to maximize its power. Jupiter is about the planet of luck and hope. This time Jupiter's seat change is undoubtedly good news for people who have experienced disappointment and blows in the past two years.

Two days ago, I read a 2021 reading report produced by GQ, and there was a very poignant paragraph in the article, saying that in 2021, on the second-hand book trading platform, the books with "depression" as the label were highly concerned, and the books with the word "future" as the label, the sales have dropped significantly, it seems that everyone no longer cares about the "future", or feels that there is no future to speak of.

This is very different from a few years ago. I think one of the beliefs that our generation has gotten from childhood in education is that "tomorrow will be better." For a not long time, things seemed to be really like this, although it was not perfect, but it did see progress. It wasn't until these two years that I had to admit that tomorrow wouldn't necessarily be better. Tomorrow may be stagnant compared to today, or it may even be a regression.

Some of this idea comes from the epidemic, but not all of it. However, it is around 2020, when the earth and earth are in Capricorn, that the whole era and people's thinking have changed dramatically. Viruses, isolation, closures, the great shock of some industries and the destruction of others... Looking back at the past at such a moment, we will find that the period full of expectations for the future is actually a very short happy moment in history. And history, or life, is inherently unsatisfactory, more, where are so many happy and satisfying things?

Lost to the end, isn't it? But maybe the opportunity to bottom out has also come? The age of the Earth-Hell Capricorn washed away the overly optimistic hope and said to us, "Admit it, the world is so cruel!" "Capricorn is like a cold winter night, which makes people have to wake up and see all kinds of impermanence and powerlessness. And now, jupiter into Pisces, and with Neptune, may be saying: Now that reality is clear, it is time to add a small flame to the pyre called "Dream".

Whether it is Jupiter or Neptune, it is a planet that emphasizes the future and dreams, and is not satisfied with the present. Jupiter wants us to stand a little higher, to see farther, to lead life with ideals and goals; while Neptune is not satisfied with material reality, it pursues dreams and beliefs at a higher level, and it will constantly ask you, what is really valuable to you? Is the direction you are going in the same direction as your dreams, or is it the opposite?

These are some big problems that sometimes seem too distant and illusory. But if we don't look a little farther, we may really be trapped in the present moment and afraid to push the boundaries of our lives. This is saturn's limitation, and it is also the meaning of the existence of Jupiter and Neptune.

Jupiter's law is "faith is spirit." The so-called auspicious star is not naturally bringing abundance and good luck, but when you believe in yourself and do your best to work hard for what you believe in and protect, you can resonate with the energy of Jupiter, and your path will be smoother.

When Jupiter and Neptune meet in Pisces, social optimism and the ability to dream will be revived. On a personal level, these two planets will show us confidence in the future and the possibility of growth.

What is confidence in the future?

Maybe: I know life is hard and not so much joy, but I also have valuable things I can do and I'm working on.

Maybe it's: I know that there are all kinds of misfortunes in life, and I can't change the reality, but I can change my own thoughts; when the ideas change, maybe there will be changes in reality.

Maybe it is: life is very short, so we must try our best to live, since we have come to this world, do not settle for being an ordinary soul.

And in the process of such belief and effort, "happiness" will also come unexpectedly. The joy that Jupiter brings is different from the "pleasure of enjoyment" of Venus, which is the gift of meaning to us.

Another year has passed, maybe it's an ordinary year, maybe it's a thrilling year. But no matter what, in the time that passes, there is our confidence and persistence.

In 2022, may more beautiful things happen.

Happy New Year!
