Jupiter in Gemini: What story did you grow into?

Jupiter is God of 'expansion, magnitude, growth, elevation, superiority. [Jupiter has] the capacity and impulse to enlarge and grow, to ascend and progress, to improve and magnify, to incorporate that which is external, to make greater wholes, to inflate; to experience success, honour, advancement, plenitude, abundance, prodigality, excess, surfeit; the capacity or inclination for magnanimity, optimism, enthusiasm, exuberance, joy; joviality, liberality, breadth of experience, philosophical and cultural aspiration, comprehensiveness and largeness of vision, pride, arrogance, aggrandizement, extravagance; fecundity, fortune, and providence.' From Cosmos and Psyche by Richard Tarnas

Jupiter in Gemini from May 26th 2024 to June 9th 2025: What Might This Year Teach You?

When Jupiter enters Gemini, He doesn’t land easily. This is a God who likes wide views and deep wisdom. He’s used to looking at the whole story. Gemini, though, scatters His gaze. Pulls Him in ten directions at once. The wisdom here isn’t in the overview, it’s in the details, the tangents, the unfinished conversations, the things we think are irrelevant but somehow end up mattering most.

Jupiter is the God who grows us. He expands what He touches, sometimes beautifully, sometimes overwhelmingly. In Gemini, He expands the mind. The messages. The stories. The information. The noise.

But what if we worked with it? What if instead of trying to quiet the noise, we got curious about what it’s really trying to say?

Maybe this is a year to ask better questions. To listen for the deeper thread beneath the chatter. To notice the stories we’re telling, about ourselves, about others, about life, and gently pull at them. Are they true? Are they kind? Are they still serving us?

This isn’t the kind of learning you get a certificate for. It’s the kind that shows up in how you speak to yourself at 3am, or how you listen to your child when they’re telling you about something that doesn’t make sense. It’s how you show up in everyday conversations. Whether you speak your truth, or hide it behind a smile.

Let Jupiter help you grow, not by giving you the answers, but by teaching you how to stay open to them. Let this be a year of learning to listen. Not just to others, but to yourself. To the part of you that knows when something clicks. When something is right. When a story has come to an end.

The Start of The Expansion

When Jupiter entered Gemini in May 2024, He didn’t enter quietly. He came holding hands with Pluto, forming a trine, a harmonious connection between two very different Gods, working together with surprising grace.

Jupiter expands. Pluto transforms. One lifts us up to see the bigger picture. The other pulls us down into the underworld of what’s hidden, raw, and real. Together, they brought depth to the lightness of Gemini. This wasn’t going to be a superficial transit.

At its best, this was a time of transformative learning, a year where ideas weren’t just exchanged but changed us. Words held power. Insights ran deep. We were asked to dig beneath our usual way of thinking, to look past distraction and into the roots of why we believe what we believe. Some of us found ourselves obsessed with new knowledge, psychology, or the workings of our own minds. Others discovered a power in their voice they hadn’t accessed before.

With Pluto involved, this was never going to be a ‘nice’ transit. It was meant to uncover us, just a little. To break open stale ways of thinking and replace them with something more real. Something more ours.

And now, as we near the end of this cycle, Jupiter has begun to shout.

My Reflection – Libra Rising (9th House)

This week, I feel overwhelmed.

It’s a familiar feeling. One I’ve known well since 2010, when my marriage ended and I became the one who holds everything. The kids. The house. The bills. The mood of the room. The future. I hold it all in my head.

But this year, this Jupiter in Gemini year, I also held something else.

I wanted to build something that could teach. Something that could help people see that even when life is full, even when the diary is packed and the washing up hasn’t been done, there is still space to grow. Still space to learn. To stretch your thinking. To see the world differently, and in doing so, live it differently.

Since 2017 I’ve been doing the work. Quietly. In between everything else. And I think this year has been about realising I’m ready to teach it. That I have something to say. That I don’t have to wait for permission or for the ‘right’ time. There is no right time. There is only now, and whether you’re willing to show up for it.

I always have too much to do. That hasn’t changed. My kids come first. Making sure they’re safe, fed, loved, held. Making sure this house is a home. That’s always been the priority. That doesn’t leave much room. But somehow, things have been built anyway.

I’ve learned to rest when it’s too much. To trust that what truly needs doing will get done. And the rest can wait. Not everything is urgent. Some things aren’t mine to carry.

What’s changed is how I work with time.

Sometimes a blog post starts while I’m doing the washing up. A song will play, and the tone of something drops in. Fifteen minutes later, while the kitchen is being put back together, I’ve got the bones of it. I type it into my notes app. Let it sit. Come back when I have another window. Another twenty minutes.

That’s how this whole year has been: made up of little windows. Snatched moments. One paragraph at a time.

And now there’s something real to show for it. A body of work. A rhythm. A voice.

So if there’s one thing I’ve learned, if I do have any advice, it’s this:

You already know. The wisdom is there, within you. You’re not waiting to become wise. You’re just learning to listen.

And when you do, you’ll find you’ve had the answers all along.

Time is never the real limitation. What matters is choosing. Intending. Following the thread even if you have to pick it up and put it down again a hundred times.

It still leads you home.

So maybe now it’s your turn.

What has this year grown in you?

What have you learned, not just in your mind, but in how you live?

What truth has taken root, quietly, while you were busy being human?

You don’t need a big answer. You don’t need to write a blog post or teach a class.

Just take a moment. Breathe. Listen.

Something in you knows.

And that’s enough.

What's next?

If you’d like to explore what Jupiter’s been opening up in your chart, or how to work with where He’s heading next, I’d love to hold that space with you.

You can book a reading with me online, just choose a date that works. I’m at Essential Therapies on Thursday evenings and every other Saturday if you’re local, or we can connect via Zoom from wherever you are. Book a reading with me here.

Jupiter is moving into Cancer on the 9th of June, where He’s exalted. This is a beautiful time to invite His wisdom into the heart of your life - your home, your family, your sense of belonging. To shift from surviving to something softer. Something more supported. To bring the magic into the day-to-day and begin transforming the ordinary into something that feels held, nourishing, and even fun.

You don’t have to do it all alone.

Let’s open the door together.

A note on AI & my writing:

I use ChatGPT as a writing assistant—not as a writer. These are my thoughts, ideas, and words, shaped by my lived experience and deep love for self-work, self-awareness, the spiritual journey, and astrology. AI helps me refine, structure, and nudge me toward better phrasing, but the voice you’re reading is mine. I use it as a tool to help me put into words everything I believe is valuable in sharing my insights. Honesty matters to me, and this is simply one way I bring my thoughts to life.
