Jupiter in Leo - The Gambler's Lucky Star

What is the best use of our time? Now that computers have given us access to more information than we can absorb in a hundred lifetimes, the real problem emerges - where should we be putting our attention?? Even though we have access now to all the answers there simply isn't enough time to sort through all the questions! Thus comes the big question we look to astrology to answer:

 Where should we be focusing our attention to get the most out of each day's possibilities?

When we know what the planets are doing we can get some pretty strong clues as to where our opportunities lie:

This month the Sun and Mars are in Aries, the sign of beginnings. Like spring itself, this placement is energizing every possibility for brand new start ups. So right off we know the best use of our focus now is going to be on recognizing opportunities to open new doors.

Mercury, the planet of communication is drifting in Pisces confusing clear communication but encouraging listening to hunches and intuition.

Venus - strong in Taurus - is manifesting beauty in all it's possible forms.

Jupiter is in Leo creating a bit of flair and flash.

Taken together I decided the aspects showed today was not the time to be rigidly sticking to rules and procedures. Rather it seemed today folks would be rewarded for getting out of old routines, taking risks and appreciating the good things nature has to offer.

Now before we imagine this means today's the day to quit our jobs and run off to join the circus, we should also consider that Saturn is retrograde this spring at the first degrees of Sagittarius. Having the planet of responsibility and slow growth retrograde means delays will almost surely be part of launching any new adventure and indeed, it may be that the best adventures don't carry major expectations.

Still with Jupiter prominent my partner and I thought we might take some small risks and so off we went to check out the local gambling casino!

Now I am not much one for gambling - I have Jupiter in my 12th house of hidden matters which on a good day acts like a secret guardian angel protecting me but the 12th is also the house of "self-undoing" and having the planet of expansion here also warns I can get in trouble if I indulge the Jupiterian tendency to overdo. However, because the planets seemed to be promising this was a good time to get out (Sun and Mars in Aries), follow feelings and hunches (Mercury in Pisces) and maybe be somewhere there might be some color and flash (Venus in Taurus and Jupiter in Leo), I decided not to worry about Saturn and hit the road!

Well it was a lovely drive - full of beauty (Venus in Taurus) and through a part of Mendocino County I'd never seen before (Mars in Aries = New adventures). We even did a bit of Saturn slowing down as 12 magnificent wild turkeys fanned their tails and strutted their stuff for us (Jupiter in Leo putting on a show!) But ultimately Saturn The Squelch put an end to our fantasy of easy riches when we got into the casino and found it just sort of dark and stuffy with none of the party feeling the signs advertised. I played the slots and was up $5 briefly but then the tide turned and I quickly recognized Saturn wasn't going to let m be a big winner today. We started to slide backwards and decided to leave the casino after only a short time. We came home with only a little less than we started.

What do we learn from this? I think I was shown once again that one of the hardest things in using astrology is to be willing to listen to the stars, to recognize when the stars are not favoring what we want to do - and to follow their guidance rather than our own wishful thinking. The planets this week are great for beauty and adventure but I tried to twist that into meaning winning money when the true highlight of the day turned out to be just what the planets promised: a ride in the country exploring new sights topped off with a beautiful parade of turkeys - and all for free!

Thanks for reading and call soon,

Rosada

P.S.

Something to look forward to :

Venus will be squaring Jupiter all week. If we can resist more gambling and wild spending sprees this pairing could be very supportive for getting a beauty makeover and re-decorating. Within Saturn's bounds of good sense, of course!
