Mercury conjunct Jupiter

[28 MARCH 2023]

This meet-up of Mercury and Jupiter comes in the first sign of the zodiac, and arguably one of the boldest, Aries. Masculine and fiery, The Ram is a sign in which new things are started, the self is improved upon, and action is taken to physically manifest these bold new ideas. Jupiter likes Aries, and in its stay here, we experience a collective Spring-like optimism. Being the planet influencing what our faith looks like, Jupiter’s transit provides us with a confident sense of faith to support us taking those aforementioned actions with courage, excitement, and spirit!

The Mercury and Jupiter conjunction, which happens about once a year, offers us a shift in our mental state. Our thought processes and manner of speech become infused with the vigor of Jupiter's conviction, enabling us to communicate more effectively and willingly. Occurring in Aries, a masculine and stimulated sign, this transit supports our feelings of self-assuredness and excitement, focusing on initiating things that are relevant to thought and speech.

As we share our grand ideas and creative thoughts, we do feel supported and stable. The challenging side to this energy is the potential for over-assertiveness or unrealistic grandeur. In fiery Aries, our minds are energized and ambitious, focusing on creation and progress- This can easily lead to a hyper-fixation towards control or other self-serving behavior if the fire is not being monitored and tended to.

So we find ways to harness this energy healthily, so we can innovate and excel while still supporting others and sharing our ambitious vibes.
