For centuries, Western astrologers have believed that the movements of the planet Jupiter relate to ideas of expansion, philosophy, bold wisdom and flamboyant power—traits of the deity known to the Romans as Jupiter.

Traditionally male, he was adopted from the Ancient Greek idea of Zeus, who was also a version of Odin (a Norse god) and related to gods from other cultures such as the ancient Egyptian sun god Ammon and Indra, Hindu god of the gods, heavens and lightning.

Around once a year, the planet Jupiter, with all its collective meanings, moves into a different zodiac sign. This year, Jupiter will enter Taurus from May 16, 2023 to May 25, 2024.

Taurus operates in the physical realm and is traditionally the sign of the bull. Jupiter spent the last few

months in Aries, where it inspired us. When it arrives in Taurus, we will want to create and build those new ideas. Taurus also likes to celebrate our values, traditions and steadfast devotion. Because Jupiter will not find itself in Taurus for another 12 years, this is an astrological moment where foundational principles are laid for the decade to come. Jupiter in Taurus suggests a new cycle of growth, giving and receiving.

Depending on where Taurus is found in your astrological birth chart, this can have different effects in your life. Individually, we can assume that new attitudes relating to our wealth, sensuality, and physical body are on the horizon. Collectively, it’s a moment to bring change in how we connect to the physical world, our distribution of wealth and likely some institutional traditions.

To help you understand how this may affect you personally, some words of wisdom based on your sun and rising signs are below. And to get your physical body dancing, here is a cosmic mixtape of songs that embody Taurus ideals or that debuted while Jupiter was in Taurus.
