Transit
Jupiter square your Sun.
Jupiter square your Sun: growth with friction, where the opportunity and the overreach arrive together and you have to tell them apart.

The mechanics
What's happening
Jupiter square your Sun
Jupiter expands whatever it touches: it enlarges, opens, over-promises and pays out. It brings opportunity, confidence and growth, and the risk of too much. Your Sun is your identity and vitality: who you are becoming and the center the rest of the chart organizes around.
A square puts the transiting planet ninety degrees from your natal point: the two drives cross at right angles, and the friction forces a change. Squares are the transits that make things happen, usually through a problem. Here the transiting Jupiter makes a square to your natal Sun, so Jupiter's drive meets your Sun at that angle. Jupiter runs a twelve-year cycle, so this contact repeats every twelve years at the same angle.
The tell
What it feels like
- You want more than you can hold and reach for it anyway.
- Confidence runs ahead of competence for a few weeks.
- An authority, a budget or a body tells you to slow down.

How long it lasts
Brace, or build?
Jupiter takes about a year per sign, so a transit to one point lasts a few weeks on a single pass, or up to nine months when the retrograde loop brings three passes. The felt window is roughly a month either side of each exact pass.
The move
What to do with it
Somewhere to go
Grow on purpose rather than on appetite. Take the bigger job, but read the contract. The square pays out when expansion is given a structure.
