Jupiter In Aries - 2010
by Kaye Shinker

Typically, Jupiter transits a sign on the average for about 12 months, and on the average we experience Jupiter changing signs about once a year.   However, 2010 is one of those rare years where we will experience Jupiter changing signs many times.   

We begin the year with Jupiter in the last few degrees of Aquarius.  By January 19, Jupiter enters the zodiac sign of Pisces and remains there until June.  Jupiter's beginning transit through Pisces is swift, ending on June 6, 2010.

Then Jupiter enters the zodiac sign of Aries and transits direct through 3 degrees of Aries on July 23 at 8:03 am EDT.  It is then that Jupiter begins a retrograde period, appearing to move backwards in the sky for about 5 1/2 months.

On September 9, 2010 Jupiter re-enters the zodiac sign of Pisces. Jupiter's second transit through Pisces in 2010 ends on January 22, 2011 when it re-enters the zodiac sign of Aries on January 22, 2011

Jupiter In Aries

Jupiter is in Aries from June 6 through September 9, 2010, and returns to Pisces.  Jupiter re-enters Aries on January 22, 2011 through June 4, 2011 and then moves onto Taurus.

Jupiter during this period of time will expand all things Aries.  There will be an abundant supply of hats, hair grooming products, eyeglasses, and dental supplies; raw materials, machinery, and precision instruments. Usually Jupiter in Aries produces a surplus of iron ore, steel, and engines.  Scrap metal is in abundant supply so try to clean up the yard and sell your scrap metal before June.  The sign Aries rules quite a few industries several lists are found throughout the Textbooks for Financial Astrology.

Jupiter in Aries - Market Trends

Jupiter transiting Aries is generally good for the overall markets.  During the past 60 years Jupiter has transited Aries five times.  Four out of the past five times the Market has gone up.  Below I show the statistics for the DOW's industrial index of 30 stocks and the NASDAQ's index for 100 stocks. These averages give an overall picture of markets.

To illustrate how the markets have reacted to the stocks that represent metals, I chose two, Alcoa and Nucor. Both companies rely on metals as a raw material to manufacture their products.  The example stock Alcoa was in business throughout the 20th century.  The stock's price increased during each transit of Jupiter through Aries.  Nucor has only been in business since 1958 and the company manufactures stainless steel from raw materials as well as scrap metal.  Their price increased during the past three Jupiter transits of Aries

Jupiter in Aries - Economic Trends

Since Jupiter entered Aries in 1975, we have been in the paradigm shift from the Industrial Revolution to the Technology Revolution.  Since 1975 we have added various electronic components to every sector of our lives. Electronic gadgets control our lighting, heating, transportation, and entertainment.  Jupiter will be conjunct Uranus on June 8, 2010 and the shift to technology will become a vivid reality.

Jupiter in Aries usually ends limited wars.  During the later part of the 20th Century, governments trended toward conservative as taxpayers expected their governments to lower taxes.  Inventors, as a result, were able to find the capital to bring their inventions to market.

Jupiter in Aries Rewards the Inventor

During the next twelve months we can expect exciting new inventions to emerge from garages around the world.

This is a time when individual creativity is rewarded.  Since the internet is an inexpensive way to bring new ideas to the attention of the public investors will need to read everything available/ The most dramatic change will emerge from new sources for energy as well as ways to generate homemade electricity.

Jupiter in Aries also rewards creative designers.  Wearable art is the fashion and hats will be required to finish the design.  Colors favored by fashion are gun metal gray and silver.

The fire signs including Aries seem to attract Natural Disasters.  With Jupiter transiting the fire sign Aries the natural disasters are usually severe and costly.
