Weekly Horoscope

PROTECTION WHEN YOU NEED IT

Jupiter in Capricorn gets a bad rap. That’s because the planet of good fortune and higher purpose is said to be in its “fall” in Capricorn. Often described as conformist, dull, and compromised, a Capricorn Jupiter’s good fortune is seen as barely adequate; its higher purpose bound up in the pursuit of security. It all looks rather humdrum until a crisis arrives. Suddenly those things that were taken for granted (like a can of Lysol disinfectant spray) take on the gleam of priceless riches. But Jupiter in Capricorn is so much more – especially as it conjoins Pluto, the planet of ordeals and the transformations that arise from them – on April 4. Jupiter in Capricorn stands for the institutions that do not fail, the corporations that deliver, and the supply chains that won’t be depleted or broken. But most of all Jupiter in Capricorn stands for the foundations that a society is built on. This is what’s being broken down and transformed by Pluto and we all know that whatever society that’s reborn will be very different from the one that was laid low, yet for now: Jupiter (as always) provides protection when you need it.
