Jupiter + Libra

A very good essay by astrologer Eric Francis: What the World Needs Now is Jupiter in Libra
is well-worth a read. I've always admired Mr Francis's style, since I first encountered his astrologising long ago and far away, when he sometimes would stand-in at vacation times for the late Jonathan Cainer in his newspaper column and website. He'd also show up occasionally on Astro-chat, Jonathan Cainer's once very lively message board.

In the linked essay Mr Francis tells of some personal luck he attributes to Jupiter and its position, during a past transit. I have a few Jupiter-related tales of my own - some are told in a 2009 post, Of Jupiter, Aquarius and Me. None of those tales relates to Jupiter in Libra though Here's one nearer to that mark:-

Back in 2004 I reached culmination of my struggle through the red-tape of UK/USA immigration laws. It was late August 2004 when I eventually received the required visa. Detail of the story to that point is at a post: Engraved on my Heart. In late September 2004 Jupiter had moved into Libra, as it has done this month.

Late September 2004 also brought the sale of the house I'd inherited from my parents, then spent a lot to modernise it, and lived in it for five years. I got a very, very good price for the house, far more than I'd ever contemplated. Completion date was around a month later. My new husband and I travelled to the USA on 24/25 October 2004, when Jupiter was at 6 Libra in exact trine to my Aquarius Sun!

At this stage in 2016, with Jupiter heading for a trine to natal Sun, once again, I'm awaiting long delayed news of a windfall coming to me, and several of my cousins, following the death of a cousin in England, two years ago. He died intestate, leaving cousins as his next of kin. Distribution of his estate has been delayed for two years, so far, due to complexities involved. Perhaps Jupiter's return to Libra will be the trigger for some definite news on this matter. While Jupiter in Libra will almost certainly not affect all the cousins in similar ways, it might be ringing bells for me. In both examples related to Jupiter/Libra transits, 2004 and 2016, money matters involved linked to inheritances. My natal Sun is in 8th house, a house said to relate to inheritances,legacies and wills (among other things). Sometimes astrology turns out to be highly pertinent!
