Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t bite off more than you can chew- avoid taking on huge projects or making big promises you can’t keep.
• Try not to ignore the lessons from your past. Now isn’t the best time to repeat old mistakes just because you’re feeling extra confident.
• Avoid making big life decisions just to impress others or get their approval. Focus on what feels right for you.
• Don’t rush into new opportunities without really thinking them through. Double check the details first.
• Try not to be stubborn about your beliefs or goals. This transit can make you think you’re always right- be open to advice.

• Don’t ignore signs that something isn’t working just because you’re optimistic. Listen to your intuition.
• Avoid comparing your journey to others, or thinking you should be further ahead. Growth takes time.

Do During This Transit

• Stay open to new experiences: This transit can bring unexpected opportunities, so say yes to things out of your comfort zone.
• Reflect on your life path: Jupiter wants you to grow, and the North Node points to your destiny. Take time to think about where you’re headed and if you’re happy with your direction.

• Take calculated risks: If something feels exciting but a little scary, consider going for it. Sometimes you have to make bold moves to grow.
• Watch for overconfidence: Jupiter can make you feel invincible, but don’t bite off more than you can chew. Stay optimistic, but also realistic.
• Connect with mentors: Seek advice from people who’ve been where you want to go. Someone’s words could really light your way now.
• Explore your beliefs: This transit is great for questioning your worldview. Maybe you’re ready to see things a new way or let go of old limiting beliefs.
• Accept temporary discomfort: Sometimes you’ve gotta deal with some friction before you get to the good stuff. Growth isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.
• Practice gratitude: When things feel confusing or tough, remember what’s already going well in your life. This helps keep you grounded.
• Set intentions for your future: Now’s a good time to get clear on what you really want. Write it down and start making a plan!

What’s interesting about this transit?

If you dig into the older or more obscure astrology texts, Jupiter square the natal North Node actually has some pretty quirky interpretations. Here are some you might not see every day:

• The “False Prophet” Aspect: Medieval Persian astrologers would sometimes call this the aspect of the “erring teacher” or “false prophet.” They said there’s a risk of following the wrong mentor, or accidentally becoming one yourself- giving advice that feels wise, but leads off track.
• Crossroad of Excess: Some Renaissance astrologers said this square is like standing at a crossroads where every sign points to “More!” More travel, more risk, more indulgence- basically, way too much of a good thing can steer you off your life’s path.
• Fortune’s Reversal: In ancient Hellenistic texts, Jupiter in a tense square often meant trouble with “benefactors”- people who want to help you might unknowingly get in the way, or their help doesn’t turn out so lucky.
• Unwilling Growth: Some traditional Indian astrology sources point out that spiritual lessons show up in uncomfortable ways; this square can force philosophical lessons before you’re ready or willing to learn them.
• Charity Gone Wrong: Old English fables mention this aspect in the charts of people who tried to be generous- like helping too much and ending up drained or misused, because the direction of giving was misguided (classic square energy).

Experiencing This Transit

So, what’s it actually like when Jupiter in the sky makes a square to your North Node? It’s like the universe turns up the “opportunity” dial, but everything comes with a twist. You might feel a sudden push, urge, or even FOMO about big life choices, growth, or destiny-level stuff- except there’s this underlying tension: you’re not quite sure if it’s the right thing, or if you’re just supposed to be growing for the sake of growing.

Challenges during this transit

• Saying Yes Too Much: You might find yourself agreeing to big projects or adventures just because they sound exciting, even if they don’t fit what you’ve actually been working toward. For example, maybe you get invited to join a new program or job offer, and it feels huge- but secretly, it distracts you from your real goals.
• Mismatched Guidance: There could be people giving lots of advice, or mentors popping up. It’s tempting to follow them, but there’s a risk they’re not aligned with where you really want to go. This can leave you feeling less sure about your path, or even misdirected.
• Overpromising, Under-delivering: With Jupiter involved, it’s easy to overestimate your capacity. You might promise people (or yourself) that you’ll accomplish huge things, but quickly get overwhelmed.
• Philosophical Confusion: Sometimes, your beliefs or vision for your life can clash with what actually feels right deep down. This tension can make you feel like you’re supposed to change directions, but you’re not sure which way is “meant to be.”
• Risks That Backfire: Jupiter squares can push you towards leaps of faith. Some may be premature: like moving to a new city on a whim, or investing too much in something that sounds amazing but isn’t practical for you right now.

Opportunities during this transit

• Fresh Perspectives: When the “wise guys” come knocking, sometimes you do hear something that helps you see your life path in a new light. Old beliefs that are keeping you stuck might get shaken up, helping you get unstuck.
• Testing Your True North: The friction from this transit can actually help you see what isn’t right for you. By trying out lots of doors, you find which ones are obviously wrong, and get clearer about what’s right.
• Big Leaps Forward: If you’ve been holding back, Jupiter’s expansive vibe could help you take a risk you do need to take. Every opportunity might not be perfect, but one or two could fast-track you onto your real path.
• Learning to Say No: Overcommitting teaches you really quickly where your limits are, and how to honor them. By the end of this transit, you’re likely to have a better sense of what you can handle, and what you actually want.
• New People, New Paths: Interactions with totally different kinds of people may open you up to connections or ideas you wouldn’t have touched before. Even if it’s awkward at first, these encounters might unlock cool new directions.
