Rising sign horoscopes for Jupiter in Gemini
Here's to a year of experimentation, doing it for the plot, and chaotic memes
If there's one thing Jupiter in Gemini likes to do, it's scatter itself to the winds. It's make a short story long and bury the lede in the process. That's actually two things, but I digress, and pretty soon we'll all be digressing.
Jupiter in Gemini is primarily about complicating things in order to understand them better, about feeding more data points into the algorithm of our knowledge systems and watching the little wheel spin while sense is being made of it all. It's a quality of having too many cooks in the kitchen, of releasing a feature-length film in installments, of wanting to literally clone yourself so you can take more classes, experience more things, and live the nine lives your smooth-brained consciousness craves (but can't compute). It's about cobbling together a couple bites and making it a whole meal.
Jupiter in Gemini is mentally exciting, stimulating, and brilliant at storyboarding and sequencing, but it can also have that Jupiter in detriment property of "fragmenting the whole" or "losing the thread in a sequence of interesting details." If you want a perfect example of this, it's AI coming up with word salad or nonsensical suggestions from the input it scrubbed off the internet.
This year's transit of Jupiter in Gemini will be defined by its squares to Saturn in Pisces, which will restrain Jupiter somewhat and contribute to a tempo of incremental growth, a laboratory of trial and error, a pendulum of inspiration and discouragement. We start out on the path feeling like kids in a candy store, but there's an imminent toothache and/or eventual need to narrow down our options or make it work with less.
The great tension of Jupiter in Gemini is the tension between wanting a taste of omniscience and being relegated to our mortal forms. It's wanting to make sense of more, but also coming up against the limit of how much moreness you can experience in a meaningful way.
Here are some possibilities for how this can go for each rising sign:
Aries Rising
Short story anthology, multimedia project, discursive discourse, crazy calendar, town hall, my best friend's wedding(s), back roads road trip, a juggling act of devotional practices
Taurus Rising
Branching out into new niches, diversifying income streams, adopting a weird collection hobby, fundraising mania, side hustle, paid membership community
Gemini Rising
Outpouring of knowledge and ideas, fresh inspo overwhelm, birthing triplets (metaphorically!), scattering your energy, when your cup runneth over and you become a river with many tributaries
Cancer Rising
Reading purgatory, hermit on a quest for knowledge/an aced certification exam, becoming a nun, visa/citizenship limbo, pausing in loud contemplation, a crisis of meaning-making
Leo Rising
Social calendar (and battery) maxed out, working the room, teach-ins, conferences, conventions, big band cacophony, people’s microphone (or playing telephone?)
Virgo Rising
Trying to thread the needle on various professional opportunities, wearing many hats, succession, beta launch, trying to be all things to all people
Libra Rising
Pilgrimage of pit stops, remote work arrangement, academic detours, existential rabbit holes, publishing in installments, frequent flier miles
Scorpio Rising
Sunk cost fallacy, the investment (but not the ROI just yet), diversifying your portfolio, collab of too many cooks, figuring out a shared custody arrangement, labyrinth of grief acceptance
Sagittarius Rising
Swarm of clients, mini mentorships, seeking the counsel of many, student/teacher dynamics, wedding planning mania, awkward rom-com that probably hinges on "meet the family" hijinks
Capricorn Rising
Gig economy, DIY projects guided by TikTok tutorials, supplement-maxxing and reading the medical studies too, over-commitment of time, dog-walking job
Aquarius Rising
Creative renaissance of the dada/noise variety, fun on a budget, soccer mom, stretched thin! at the polycule, year of dabbling (hobbies, art projects, lovers, you decide)
Pisces Rising
Home is where the pieces of your heart are scattered, making your bicoastal dreams a reality, living situation upgrade (with strings attached maybe), ancestral teachings and oral traditions
I'm a double Gemini with Aquarius rising. The first astrology reading I ever had - probably 30 years ago, I was sitting at someone's kitchen table looking at a funny looking circle with a bunch of symbols on it. Other than that, the only thing I remember is the astrologer looking me straight in the eyes and saying "so you came here to live 12 lifetimes in one" as if it were a fact. It was like a bell ringing truth. I may have reached my 12. My intention for this transit is to actually rein in my propensity to scatter my energy. I can feel how badly I need to practice this already and I already feel the pull to do more, but my body is saying no and I need to listen.
