November 13

Juno—The Feronia

Feronia was a Goddess of Spring flowers and woods (also associated with Flora) and, although this day was named for her, it became a day of recognition for Juno, Minerva and Jupiter. The celebration took place on the Capitoline Hill where all three were enshrined. Juno was the sister-wife of Jupiter, forming a triad with Minerva. The festival would have included an animal sacrifice and an evening torch light processional.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 12

Everything seems to be getting better now. We imagine a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow we see, and they seem to be everywhere we look. We can use the power of our positive thinking to improve our lives, but the harmonious trine from the Sun to buoyant Jupiter increases our confidence to the point of promising more than we can deliver. We are even more receptive to today’s intuitive Pisces Moon if we don’t lose sight of our obligations.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The results of your recent efforts may bring rewards today, but probably not in the obvious ways you expect. You’re able to enjoy life more now, basking in the awareness of a job well done. But don’t allow your unrestrained optimism lead to laziness, for you could falsely believe that you deserve time to relax. However, this assumption could end up encouraging counterproductive behavior; don’t let your regular responsibilities slip just because you’re feeling good.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your mind can conceptualize new ideas quite easily now because you’re eager to broaden your horizons. Sometimes you’re satisfied with maintaining the status quo, but today you’re so confident that you want to step beyond your regular routine and experience life to the fullest. However, this isn’t about setting aside your basic philosophical approach to living; rather, it’s a wonderful opportunity to build on the foundation of what you already know.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Sometimes steady growth feels restraining because you want to move at your own pace, which can be faster than everyone else’s. However, the Sun’s trine to jovial Jupiter in your 2nd House of Income allows you to obtain much-needed support from your boss and your workmates as you bolt ahead of the pack. There isn’t any reason to slow down now; explore new territory without worrying about the usual resistance.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

New ideas are flowing into your imagination now, but you must be ready to receive them. You may already be in touch with a variety of alternative plans, but the Sun’s trine to philosophical Jupiter in your sign today can blast the doors of awareness open. Thankfully, the current growth spurt shouldn’t feel like hard work or cause you any stress. Opportunities to expand your thinking and widen your horizons are more fun than you might expect.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

An emotional breakthrough is possible today if you’re willing to examine your feelings from a broader perspective before the coming changes impact your relationships. Letting go of fixed ideas isn’t easy, but today’s Sun-Jupiter trine may seem like a free ticket to the destination of your choice. Nevertheless, it is up to you to use it. Take a risk or you might stay stuck in your current situation, wishing that you didn’t let the opportunity pass you by. Think big and then follow through with confidence and persistence.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your relationships feed your creativity now, especially if you listen closely to others as they share their ideas. However, inspiration doesn’t just happen on its own. You have to put on your thinking cap and be diligent about maximizing your current cleverness potential. Once you start something, stick with it, even if your certainty lags. You are closer to success than you realize.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be surprised by all the wonderful support you receive at work today. Assistance arrives in funny ways, yet you could miss it if you are looking too hard in a different direction. Nevertheless, you have a great opportunity now to improve the quality of your everyday life if you can get past your own resistance to change. The choice is yours; be courageous and let your friends and associates nurture your current growth.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The importance of having fun cannot be overstated because you’re highly creative today if you are enjoying yourself. There’s no reason to impose arbitrary limits on what you can do. Even if you don’t reach an idealistic goal now, you will still progress further along your path. Extending yourself as much as possible improves your chances of making the most of the current opportunities. Just be sure to find pleasure in whatever you do.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your dreams are a major source of inspiration, yet you need to exercise a bit of caution today. It’s easy to get lost in your inner worlds, but your key planet Jupiter is so radiant now that you might not even realize if something is amiss. Fortunately, you have the power to direct your thoughts away from unrealistic fantasies and turn them into profound creative visualizations that can change your life for the better.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Lean on your friends and associates today by discussing your hopes and dreams with them. But don’t be overly concerned about reaching your goals just yet, for optimistic Jupiter’s trine to the Sun in your 11th House of Future suggests that immediate success is not what’s most important. Instead, use this time to explore your aspirations without necessarily having to justify every thought you share. Ultimately, you will receive the support you need if you trust the process.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your hard work may be rewarded by a bigger paycheck or, at least, the promise of a raise. Your 2nd House of Money and your 6th House of Work are being drawn into a cooperative relationship, creating a perfect storm. Luckily, you can benefit from this cosmic blast if you don’t push your luck too far; instead, just show up with your best possible attitude and see what happens. You might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Reach a little farther today while the Moon in your sign is harmoniously aligned. The planets are surely working in your favor now; the Sun’s harmonious trine to auspicious Jupiter enables you to balance optimism and realism. This cosmic magic encourages you to choose what you want to do next. Nevertheless, you still must be willing to push past whatever stands in the way of achieving your goals. Believe in yourself and the sky is your limit.

Jupiter Retrograde

Seek inner wisdom as giant Jupiter spins back

Tarotcom Staff Tarotcom Staff on the topics of retrograde planets, Jupiter, cancer, astrology

 

Enthusiastic Jupiter, the happy-go-lucky planet of expansion and growth, slows down and turns backward in the sign of Cancer just after midnight on Nov. 7, 2013, lasting until March 6, 2014.

During this time, we may not feel as optimistic about things, and our plans to tackle big new ideas or endeavors will slow and perhaps stall. But Jupiter is a philosophical planet, so we can still use this time to contemplate our beliefs and expectations, and re-examine where we’re headed.

We all have inner wisdom if we take the time to listen to it, and Jupiter Retrograde encourages just that: Take a time out, slow down and listen to your inner voice. What is it telling you to do? It should be easier to hear now.

Do you like your job? Are you happy in your relationship? Have you been fooling yourself about something? Jupiter Retrograde asks those kinds of questions, and gives you more than three months to think about the answers before going direct.

Even while retrograde, bountiful Jupiter wants to help you figure out how to grow and change and become the best version of yourself. Use this time wisely — it’s a gift!
