The Sagittarius Sun will oppose Jupiter, retrograde through Gemini, as Sunday transitions into Monday. This year’s opposition of the two largest objects in the solar system will encourage you to open up as never before. Opening your mind to include ideas and your heart to include others remains important, but a broader imperative now beckons. This year, the Sun’s opposition to Jupiter is asking you to open up and include yourself in an exchange beyond the material and the self.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is obvious that all beings exchange material. Every atom in your body was once in another body. It is less obvious that you can choose to include yourself in an intangible exchange on a wide scale.<\/p>\n

Consciousness is intangible. Yet, without it, there would be no awareness of anything, tangible or otherwise. In astrology, the solar is consciousness. That’s because the Sun is the first principal without which the solar system could not exist. Also, the awareness implied by words such as ‘day’ and ‘light’ is inseparable from and has its ultimate source in the Sun. Finally, like the Sun, consciousness unites all earthly beings through mutual and simultaneous experience.<\/p>\n

Among earthly beings, we humans have an extraordinary capacity to manipulate consciousness. That capacity can be useful to create distinctions, such as the lines on a map. Somewhere along the line, however, such partitions became our reality, separating us from each other and from the Earth. The trend has gone so far as to make us nearly unconscious of anything but self, almost incapable of opening up except to take in. The Sun-Jupiter opposition now developing is a symbolically opportune time for you to revive a conscious capacity to open up and be included.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jupiter by itself is about opening up with the purpose of taking in. When you open your mouth to ingest nourishment, or your arms to embrace somebody, that’s Jupiter, manifesting in your life. Jupiter retrograde in Gemini symbolizes another side of it, a contemplation of how to practice that manifestation to a greater effect than simply taking things in to your self. That’s because intellectual Gemini is on the opposite side of the zodiac from Sagittarius, where Jupiter rules and Sun currently resides. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Every annual tour of Sagittarius by the Sun represents a chance to contemplate greater things, and not just because of the Jovian rulership. Sagittarius contains the center of our galaxy and a distant source of incalculable gravity called the Great Attractor. The Galactic Core’s position relative to the Sun and the Great Attractor’s gravity relative to our galaxy correspond to the Sun’s central position and gravity in the solar system, but on a much greater scale. <\/p>\n

As big and central as the Sun is to us, it reflects and is part of something much bigger and more widespread. The particulars of the Sun-Jupiter opposition this weekend ask you to open up and reflect on the possibility that the same is true of your consciousness.<\/p>\n

While it is challenging to be conscious of being conscious, it is not impossible. It is very much like the Sun moving through Jupiter’s dominion only to see Jupiter looking back from the other side. If there is anything to astrology, this is the time and place for you look at yourself the same way, both as capable of greater manifestation, and as reflected on a wider scale. The question is whether you are willing to accept what it means. <\/p>\n

This time around, the Sun opposed to Jupiter asks whether you can open up to include the fragile, mortal and material center of your consciousness in something bigger and more widespread, and whether you are open to exchange being yourself for being itself. The planets are in place, the choice is yours.<\/p>\n
