Whatever the effects of my forthcoming Saturn opposition, the most immediate influence comes from transiting Jupiter that will enter Aries on December 21st, pretty much coinciding with the solstice. Thereafter it will soon pass over all my planets in Aries according to the following schedule:
- contacts natal Mercury on January 9th 2023
- contacts natal Mars-Venus on February 17th 2023
- contacts natal Sun on March 5th 2023
- contacts transiting Chiron on March 12th 2023 (in 14°23')
- contacts natal Ascendant on April 26th 2023
- turns stationary retrograde in 15°34' of Taurus on September 4th 2023
Despite turning retrograde in September, Jupiter will not reenter Aries during its current cycle so really its influence is fairly fleeting, from now up till early May of next year. Of course, it's already been in Aries earlier in 2022. To be specific:
- entered Aries on May 11th 2022
- contacted natal Mercury on May 23rd 2022
- stationed in 8°42' Aries on July 28th 2022
- contacted natal Mercury on October 8th 2022
- left Aries on October 29th 2022
The main effect during the year seems to have been my visit to the Kampung in Sumatra in July when the planet stationed near my natal Mars-Venus. This was my first significant journey outside of Jakarta since returning permanently at the start of 2020. I don't see the planet as having a major impact in 2023, although it is an opportunity for personal growth.
