This Week's Game-Changing Astrological Transit Hasn't Happened In Over A Decade

Jupiter's transit into Aries will have us looking toward the future this week, but Mercury retrograde could leave us stuck in the past. Here's how to navigate this tricky push-and-pull energy, from the AstroTwins.

What's new, innovative, and never been tried before? No, that's not a riddle. But it's where our collective focus shifts for the next five and a half months.

This enterprising cycle is all about breaking barriers, developing new philosophies, and candidly calling things like we see them. With everyone's gambling instincts red hot, there's a danger of leaping without looking. Leadership grabs and diva duels could leave jaws on the ground (and power structures in tatters). For best results, take the initiative in all areas of life, but play fair! It's hard to be patient with process and protocol now, but avoid rushing to the finish line. After October 28, Jupiter backs into Pisces again, then returns to Aries for another lap, from December 20, 2022, to May 16, 2023. Until then, see if you can stop ruminating on the past or fixating on the future, and just "be here now."

Expect friction in peer partnerships and do your best to avoid getting roped into taking sides. Triple-check your words before posting, sending, or signing anything. Since Gemini rules transportation, try to hold off on purchasing anything with wheels until early June. Got an unfinished manuscript, podcast, or workshop idea? Blow off the dust: This is an excellent time to take a deeper look and make revisions. On May 22, the buzzy planet backs into reality-checker Taurus, throwing everyone's sense of security into a bit of a tailspin. Budgets, schedules, and relationship rules will demand keenness and clarity. Assume nothing and try to stay nimble—even while everyone around you is stubbornly digging in their heels!
