Jupiter is in Aquarius from December 19th, 2020 until May 13th, 2021, and then again from July 28th, 2021 until December 29th, 2021.
Jupiter re-enters Aquarius on July 29th, 2021.
To understand what Jupiter in Aquarius wants from us, let’s analyze the transit step-by-step so that the bigger picture can emerge:
- Jupiter
- Aquarius
- Jupiter in Aquarius
- Jupiter and Saturn conjunction in Aquarius
Jupiter – Growth, Faith, Beliefs
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has the magical quality of expanding everything it touches. Without Jupiter, there would be no growth and no expansion.
Jupiter is also the planet of consensus and coherence – Jupiter connects the dots to find a greater and more meaningful whole.
Jupiter doesn’t like ambiguity and helps us stay focused on our goals, so that we don’t get side-tracked.
Jupiter is the planet of justice, morals, and what everyone agrees on. We all agree on some basic principles, such as human rights, or that we need health and education to function as a society.
Jupiter doesn’t operate like Mars. Jupiter doesn’t try to force you into doing something against your will – Jupiter tries to convince you. And if you have a valid point to raise, Jupiter will take this into consideration to come up with an even better ‘formula’.
Jupiter promotes a sense of inner coherence, and when things feel ‘right’, faith naturally emerges.
Even when the whole world seems to go against you, Jupiter gives you that inner faith that things will eventually work out.
When you operate from your Jupiter mindset, you attract exactly those circumstances that will help you achieve your goals.
Jupiter also rules our beliefs. Beliefs are the most powerful force in the universe. Our beliefs encompass our religious choices, our political views, and our lifestyle.
These beliefs govern our lives, and our results and accomplishments (Saturn) are a direct consequence of these beliefs.
When we have healthy Jupiter beliefs (a consequence of having done the honest, Mars work), these beliefs are a natural extension of ourselves and how we can contribute to the greater good of society.
Having sound beliefs is not enough. There comes a time when we move from theory (Jupiter) to practice (Saturn) and take a risk.
And it is Jupiter’s task to drive this final push. At this level, we don’t know yet how we are going to make it. But unless we try, we will never find out.
Aquarius – Freedom
When Jupiter is in Aquarius, the Jupiter qualities we described above: growth, faith, beliefs will follow Aquarius’ agenda.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. Uranus is one of the 3 outer planets: Neptune is the ocean, Pluto the underworld, and Uranus, the sky.
All these outer planets help us move beyond our earthly experience and merge with something greater than ourselves.
Neptune is the mermaid that seduces us into the primordial water, so that we eliminate any separation, and merge into oneness. We are a drop of water in the sea, and the sea is a drop of water, we are at one with everything.
Pluto does the same thing by stripping away anything that is false and can no longer sustain growth.
Pluto works in a more brutal way, much like splitting the atom, again and again, so that it can find the primordial source of energy and creation. And when we get to the center, to the soul of everything, we become one with the power generator of the universe.
Uranus works differently. Uranus connects us with these higher realms by lifting us up. Unlike Neptune (we “fall” in love) or Pluto (we surrender to a higher force, to find our own personal power), Uranus has an upward movement.
Uranus lights a spark of light inside us. With Uranus, we feel elated, excited and electric.
“Let there be light”, sometimes all it takes is to turn the light on, and we can see. Everything is 0’s and 1’s, and the revelations that Uranus brings are like lightning – they instantaneously come to us when we tune into the higher frequencies of the skies.
Uranus has the highest affinity with Aquarius, because Aquarius is a collective, air sign. In the air, in that light uplifting space, anything is possible.
And in the Uranian ethereal space, we find Aquarian keywords: network, friendships, inclusion, sovereignty, autonomy, hopes, dreams, and innovation.
What does friendship have to do with innovation? What does sovereignty have to do with our hopes and dreams? These keywords may seem to have little in common – but not if we find the common denominator.
Aquarius is a fixed, air sign, so it looks for routes and connections (fixed) in the space of infinite possibilities (Air). Aquarius is the invisible ties that keep us connected, and hold our society together.
Airplanes have predefined routes to fly. The internet is built on connected networks. Innovation emerges when people have frameworks to exchange ideas and create something even greater together. When we look after each other, the world is a better place to live in.
In Aquarius’ invisible web, we can jump over the cliff and do pretty much what we want, because we know we are loved and looked after. And when we feel accepted and we know there is a network of support that ‘has our back’, this is when we can finally be free.
Jupiter In Aquarius – The Sky’s The Limit
Jupiter and Aquarius have a lot of things in common. Freedom. Exploration. Wisdom. Big picture. Hopes and dreams.
Jupiter in Aquarius’ motto can well be “the sky’s the limit” which pretty much means there is no limit, and that there is nothing that can prevent us from achieving our potential.
Jupiter in Aquarius invites us to take a big leap of faith so that we can find that place where we truly belong, where we don’t have to feel alone and disconnected ever again.
Jupiter in Aquarius asks us to go after our dreams. There may be thousands of reasons why we could fail, but unless we BELIEVE and give it a try, nothing will ever happen.
Jupiter in Aquarius is as excited as Jupiter in Sagittarius, as experienced as Jupiter in Capricorn, but also agile, flexible and ready to co-create with the universe.
With Jupiter in Aquarius, you want to dare to fly, to say yes to the irresistible pull of freedom.
You may not know ‘how’ to get there, or what you’ll find on the other side. There’s one thing we can be sure of, however, Aquarius’ promise of freedom and liberation is something worth pursuing.
Jupiter And Saturn In Aquarius – Learning To Fly
Jupiter is not alone in Aquarius – it shares the sign with Saturn.
Jupiter and Saturn’s energies may feel contradictory, but perhaps a better word is complementary. To architect grand things that don’t only look grand, but can also stand the test of time, we need both Jupiter and Saturn, in the ‘right’ balance.
Think of Jupiter and Saturn as a tire of a car. If the tire is too inflated, it can explode, and if there’s not enough air, it wears and eventually gets damaged. That’s why we want to find a balance between expansion and contraction, and the Jupiter-Saturn duo will help us do that.
Jupiter alone may get too excited and forget to put on his seatbelt. But thanks to Saturn, enthusiasm meets experience. You don’t have to jump over a cliff for a brief experience of freedom. You can get a pilot license and do what you love for the rest of your life.
Remember, Aquarius is an Air sign. Unlike Capricorn, an Earth sign, with Aquarius there are no operating procedures, or “HOW TOs”, so you’ll have to learn on-the-fly.
The good thing is that change is not a traumatic experience, or at least it doesn’t have to be. Change is usually preceded by a pull, or a call to do things differently – even if we’re totally inexperienced and may not even know where we’re going.
We call this pull “intuition” and Jupiter’s intuition will always guide us in the right direction.
Pink Floyd said it best in “Learning to fly”:
“The sole intention is learning to fly / Condition grounded, but determined to try”
Change is a condition of life. Change is always ‘good’ because stagnation means death, and movement means life. Change follows when we have outgrown the “old paradigm”, and instinctively feel that there is a better way forward.
With Jupiter in Aquarius, the pull to find a different direction is just stronger than the comfort of doing what we’ve always been doing.
In the new Air era, we will all learn how to fly.

Wow,this is the best explanation i have ever heard since jupiter/Saturn theme came on the board…Thank you and God bless you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 2021.
And how will Saturn/Jupiter in Aquarius affect Virgo sun?
How will Saturn/Jupiter in Aquarius affect Virgo sun ?
This is so cool, I started a blog this year based on Learning to Fly…tongue tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit…
Another great article. The Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 0 deg Aquarius will be forming an exact square to my natal Neptune at 0 deg Scorpio in 10th house.
How the conjunction will affect Aquarius?
The Universe is guiding us. We desperately need to change course. The Arctic amplification manifests before our eyes. And there is a saying: “what happens in the Arctic, doesn’t stay in the Arctic”. We have to act now. We have procrastinated for too long.
Change is coming. Either we choose to stay in fear and be ruled like little infants, or we choose to change our way of life and become adults; free and autonomous.
What are the steps to become true autonomous human beings?
First of all, you have to start thinking for yourself. You can’t be an autonomous being, if you blindly except (or reject) what you are being told. This means taking the trouble and effort of thinking things through to the very end. You have to ask yourself questions and ponder over it. Reading about the subject. Turn off the TV.
Secondly, you have to stand on your own two feet. If you are dependent on what other people think or what they give or take (including money), you are not a free being. The governments of the world dole out free money like there is no tomorrow, bribing everyone, but this comes with a heavy price. The price being slavery and stagnation. There is no free lunch in the Universe. You have to participate fully to receive the tremendous gifts the Universe has to give.
Thirdly, you have to investigate your conscious and unconscious mind. Meditation, dream journaling and analysis, reading about psychology and spiritual reality. Jesus said: “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you”. To find this hidden treasure, you need to dig.
You cannot possibly do this by your ego faculties alone. You need to humble yourself and pray to God to help you and show you the way. If you are serious in your requests, you will not receive a stone. The answers will surely come.
This is strong medicine, but it is the only way to become autonomous.
“The sole intention is learning to fly / Condition grounded, but determined to try”.
I wish you all an exhilarating Solstice and liberating Christmas.
How is “the air way”?
