Transit Lab: Jupiter Conjunct IC
I heard a rumor a few days ago that my favorite product at my favorite grocery store might be discontinued soon.
Over the following day or so I realized that I deeply desired to fill my entire freezer full of this particular product. I don’t usually have spurts of irrational desires, but I was amused. I decided to go with it, just to see what would happen. I mean, I just knew that I’d be happy if I did this.
A friend just pointed out that it’s Jupiter conjunct IC - stocking up at home. And it’s in Capricorn - my freezer as a site of abundance.
I’m also revisiting family memories and my relationship with my heritage, past life memories, and mourning the loss of my father and the evaporation of a significant relationship. And then there are friendships that have ended.
The point of this transit I’m seeing as clearing out, or at least processing, old things. Whatever stuff I’ve kept around in my foundation (4th house) that’s really just debris needs to go.
While Jupiter certainly presents opportunities for growth & expansion, outmoded things have to be cleared away in order for new growth to occur - for there to be room for new things to take shape and, ultimately, root.
So, don’t expect every Jupiter transit to be carefree. But understand that some things will need to go before you can even recognize the great opportunities that Jupiter can bring.
Since my friend pointed out the link between my freezer-filling urge and this transit, I’ve decided to just fill the whole thing, instead of this couple of bags at a time. To just go for it, which is what Jupiter asks us to do when making the rounds in our charts.
(I admit that I’m just hoping there’s more to this transit than a full freezer…)

I really enjoyed this post. I have capricorn @ 25 degrees on my IC, and I am currently living in a shelter for single moms.[My baby is 9 months old]I also lost my mother suddenly in April of this year. I’m wokring, and saving, but I feel as though I am going no where! It’s really frustrating!
