Transit Jupiter Sesquisquare Natal Moon

Emotional Overwhelm

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Jupiter Sesquisquare Moon transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore your feelings or bottle them up. This transit can stir up emotions, so it’s better to talk things out rather than keep everything inside.
• Try not to overreact or take things too personally. It’s easy to get moody or sensitive now, but feelings might be bigger than the actual problem.
• Avoid making big decisions based purely on your mood. Give yourself time before you commit to anything major.
• Don’t overindulge in comfort foods, spending, or distractions to escape stress. It’s tempting, but it won’t really solve anything.
• Stay away from drama, especially with family or close friends. Fights or misunderstandings can blow up easily.
• Try not to over-promise or commit to more than you can handle, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed.
• Don’t dismiss your need for rest or downtime. You might need more self-care now.
• Avoid holding grudges or dwelling on negative memories. Letting go is tough but healthier overall.
• Don’t expect people to automatically understand what you need. If you want support, you’ll have to let others know directly.

Do During This Transit

• Pay extra attention to your moods and emotions- you might feel things more strongly right now.
• Talk about your feelings with someone you trust; it’s a great time to open up and get support.
• Stick to healthy routines, especially when it comes to eating and sleeping.
• Try not to overdo things- watch out for emotional overeating, overspending, or giving too much.
• Look at what makes you feel secure and safe. Are you getting enough comfort and self-care?
• Practice patience if family stuff gets dramatic or intense.
• Think about what you want to change emotionally or personally- this transit can help you spot old patterns that need updating.
• Meditation, journaling, or quiet time alone can really help you make sense of what you’re feeling.
• Keep your expectations realistic. Big promises from yourself or others might not pan out the way you hope.
• Reach out for positive support, whether that’s friends, family, or even just your favorite comfort activities.

What’s interesting about this transit?

Alright, so Jupiter sesquisquare (that’s a 135-degree angle, by the way) to your natal Moon is one of those transits that doesn’t get as much attention as the big classics, but the older astrology books have some pretty quirky things to say about it. Here are a few interesting and not-so-obvious interpretations:

• Some medieval astrologers called this transit “the feast of plenty… but with spilled wine.” They believed it brings opportunities that seem really big at first, but often get a little messy or out of hand if you’re not careful.
• From old Italian texts, it’s described as “the guest who comes to your house at midnight,” hinting at unexpected emotional surges or events when you’re least prepared- think sudden bursts of feelings or surprise visits from people you haven’t heard from in ages.
• A few Renaissance astrologers associated the Jupiter sesquisquare Moon with “overfed desires.” Basically, they said it can make your emotional needs feel bigger than usual, but you might overindulge or not know when enough is enough.
• Arab astrologers noted that this transit could signal “the contest of mothers,” which sounds strange, but it referred to family drama or power plays in the home, sometimes with mother figures or older women.
• Old lunar almanacs suggested “rich but fleeting dreams may come, yet illusions of safety too”- meaning you might feel safe and optimistic, but sometimes that optimism makes you overlook realistic boundaries.

Experiencing This Transit

So, when Jupiter forms a sesquisquare to your natal Moon, it’s kind of a tug-of-war between big, expansive Jupiter and your personal, emotional Moon. It’s not a super harsh aspect, but it’s a bit tense and asks you to stretch and grow, usually in the emotional department. You might feel like your emotions are extra, everything feels a little larger than life, or suddenly you want more- more comfort, more connection, more everything. But sometimes, this “more” can swing too far and tip things off balance.

Challenges during this transit

• Overdoing Emotional Reactions: You might find yourself getting worked up over things that wouldn’t normally bother you. Maybe someone says something offhand, and suddenly you’re way more upset than usual.
• Sudden Family Drama: Arguments or misunderstandings at home could crop up out of nowhere. Little issues can get blown up fast, especially if people are feeling sensitive.
• Overindulgence: You might deal with comfort eating, retail therapy, or just going a little overboard trying to chase happiness when small pleasures would have been enough.
• Restlessness or Discontent: It’s easy to feel like whatever you have isn’t quite enough. Maybe your living space doesn’t feel as nice, or you notice every little thing that could be better.
• Promising Too Much: You could end up promising to help everyone or to be there for friends and family, only to realize later that you’re stretched way too thin.

Opportunities during this transit

• Personal Growth: This is a great time to notice what you really want emotionally. If something feels off or out of balance, you have a chance to make changes for the better.
• Reconnect With Family: Even if there’s some drama, there’s also a chance to clear the air and understand each other better. Sometimes, disagreements actually help everyone get closer in the long run.
• Big Emotional Insights: Your dreams and feelings might be extra vivid. Pay attention- your gut instincts are likely telling you something important.
• Learning Generosity: Jupiter brings out the generous side of people. If you share with others (just not too much!), it can bring a real sense of fulfillment.
• Adventure in Little Things: If you’re willing to get out of your comfort zone and try something new- maybe a new food, meeting new people, or just shaking up your routine- it can break up any emotional rut and bring in positive energy.
