Jupiter Combust in Gemini ~ Flying close to the Sun

Jupiter, a planet of expansion and belief, is combusted by the Sun in Gemini from June 9th to July 10th, 2024.

Combustion arises when a planet moves close to the Sun and is effectively burnt up in its glare. Jupiter and the Sun are planetary friends and together give the promise of adventure and support, but now is not the time to over-expand or trust luck. Both these planets are known for a confident and spontaneous attitude, but flying too close to the Sun can lead you to breeze through every situation and rely on pure bravado.

In Gemini, this transit focuses on wit and intelligence, and your attention may be scattered over a variety of different subjects. You have faith in life and your store of knowledge, but it pays to study deeply and get proper credentials. Also be careful of any get-rich-quick scheme in business, where you are not sure of your sources and it pays to wait and see. On the other extreme, you may lack the instinct to pick an opportunity and become so risk-averse that a lucky break passes you by.

You go from over-optimistic to skeptical and indecisive and need a firm guarantee before you move forward. June 21st to 30th is the height of this transit, where Jupiter is obscured in the sky, rather like a solar eclipse, and its supportive power is greatly weakened. A powerful personality who overshadows your life and work may also have undue influence, to the point where you devalue your own talent and worth. You emerge into July with a more grounded picture, however, and a wise advisor whose opinion you trust is there when you need it.
