Jupiter in Taurus
Jupiter's transit through Taurus, June 4, 2011- June 11, 2012

Jupiter in Taurus
Four quick months in Aries and Jupiter is ready to slow down and give the economy a rest.  The markets slow down and the traders take a vacation.  The economy consolidates and builds very slowly.  Supply meets demand and new inventions begin their marketing campaigns.  Wars that are underway continue to be fought.

Jupiter begins his transit of Taurus June 4, 2011 and leaves June 11, 2012.  

Jupiter

The planet Jupiter’s synodic cycle is about 12 years.   A Jupiter day is about 10 hours.  The planet is a ball of gas with swirling clouds that produce intense colors including Jupiter's great Red spot.  Smaller spots appear from time to time.  Jupiter has four main rings and at last count 63 moons.  Four of his moons are visible with binoculars or a backyard telescope.  The space probe Voyager recorded the weird sounds or radio waves emited by Jupiter.

The Greek name for Jupiter is Zeus. Zeus ruled Mount Olympus with his extended family and many children. Greek and Roman mythology has a multitude of stories concerning the antics of Jupiter.  He was belived to control the weather, including rainfall.  His counterpart among the Nordic gods was Thor the God of Thunder and Thurday is Jupiter’s day.

Financial astrologers have observed over time that Jupiter expands the supply of things ruled by the sign he transits.  Therefore a larger supply of something will tend to bring down the price of the item.  Companies who supply the product/service will experience thinner profit margins.

Taurus

The zodiac sign of Taurus is about money, banks, financial institutions. It is about earning money, and accumulating it.  People will accumulate cash and seek ways to make safe investments.  Banks will have a large supply of cash and will need to find unique products to lend it.  In the Textbook for Financial Astrology you will find a list of items and sectors ruled by Taurus.

Recent experience with Wall Street bankers has start-up companies wary of public financing.  New types of venture capital options will appear throughout the world giving clever entreprenuers a variety of ways to finance their inventions.

During the year of Jupiter’s transit through Taurus the supply of beans, corn and cattle will increase.  Farmers will have plenty to sell and therefore the price for these commodities will decrease.  Farms will earn fewer dollars and have less disposable income. Grocery stores will be required to discount these items therefore squeezing their margins.

Beauty supplies and costume jewelry will be in abundant supply as fashion trends change.  Around the world the baby boom of WWII is retiring and their demand for fashion items will decrease and therefore the supply will increase.

The supply of copper will increase as the demand for it as a building material decreases.

Jupiter’s transit through Taurus puts an emphsis on the desire of the individual to earn money. People will have a positive ‘can do’ attitude concerning their talents and ability.  They will insist on spending money on beautiful things and refuse to buy junk.

Sliced Bread

The greatest invention “since sliced bread” happened during the 1928 transit of Jupiter through Taurus.  The story of inventions through the 20th Century when Jupiter transited through Taurus trend toward the practical but some were just plain fun.  Since Jupiter transited Taurus during World Wars One and Two, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, machines for battle were invented.

One of the methods for finding a stock with a chance of increasing in price is to see if their IPO can expect a Jupiter return.   Another is to find an IPO with a Sun or Moon in the same Sign that Jupiter will transit.

This list will give you a place to start when looking for companies that have a chance to outperform the markets during 2011-12.    In the Textbook for Financial Astrology I explain how to analyze an astrological chart in order to determine whether the company will perform during the month and year ahead.   Astrological Investing suggests that you check the Incorporation and IPO chart from the astrological point of view before you invest your time/money in a specific equity.  After you check their astrological charts then it is time to look at the technical analysis.
