upiter will transit through Pisces over three periods: From the 13th of May until returning into Aquarius on the 28th of July 2021. From the 29th of December 2021 until first entering Aries on the 10th of May 2022. From the 31st of October 2022 until re-entering Aries on the 18th of December 2022. Meanwhile, Neptune has slowly moved through Pisces since 2011, where it will remain for a total of fourteen years until entering Aries on 27 March 2025. The relatively fast-moving Jupiter activates the slow-moving and subtle energy of Neptune at their conjunction in Pisces, which occurs on 13 April 2022. These two gas giant planets are the co-rulers of Pisces, and are both at home in this most spiritual of signs. Their coming conjunction is a generational event, indicating potential for profound shift in public priorities and ideas, crystallising emerging spiritual awareness. As discussed in my article in the December 2020 OPA magazine, titled The Twelfth House of the Age of Pisces,1 this April 2022 conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune is a defining physical event for the shift of Zodiac Ages. In this model, every Zodiac Age has twelve stages, or houses, opened by the triple conjunctions of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune that occur in successive signs every 179 years. These triple conjunctions occur in overlapping families. The Pisces family is ending, and the next house in the Aquarius family will begin with the six planet conjunction in Gemini in June 2060. The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction of 2022 represents the entry into the twelfth house of the Zodiac Age of Pisces. This may mark one of the most Piscean moments of the whole Age, a time when the Piscean energy of the last two millennia comes together at a culminating point. The twelfth house of the Age, lasting for the page 76

next 179 years, is both a time of the dissolution of the energy of the Pisces Age, as we transition into the Age of Aquarius, and also a time of recapitulation and recollection, looking back over the history of the Age with new insight and clarity. The central moment of transition into the twelfth house of the Age, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, is profoundly reinforced by their bookending conjunctions with Saturn – the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in 2020 and the Neptune-Saturn conjunction in 2026. These meetings with Saturn, the planet of serious finitude, work to solidify and define the finite meaning of the otherwise infinite mystical possibilities created by the joint rulers of Pisces. Jupiter and Saturn are visible together in the sky for several months, rising

earlier each night. Saturn is in the middle of the triangular star shape of the sea-goat Capricorn, and Jupiter is moving back and forth across the tropical boundary between Aquarius and Pisces, within the constellation of Aquarius the water bearer. (Due to precession, the tropical signs of astrology are shifted back by one sign from the constellations).
