Jupiter enters Taurus on June 4th, 2011, and stays in this fixed earth sign until June 11th, 2012. See how this transit affects each zodiac sign below.

Jupiter's effects are to expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our understanding. Jupiter represents optimism, growth, generosity, joy, and abundance. In Sagittarius, Jupiter urged us to increase our cultural and spiritual awareness, to expand our higher minds, to broaden our experiences, and to have faith in the universe. In Capricorn, Jupiter urged us to define goals, seek out tangible results, act ethically and maturely, and to take a disciplined and step-by-step approach to realizing our goals. In Aquarius, Jupiter urged us to think and act in terms of social reform and to value humanitarian action, to think progressively and to value freedom, individuality, group goals and visions. In Pisces, Jupiter urged us to give of ourselves, and to embrace compassion and imagination. In Aries, Jupiter urged us to make our own opportunities, to believe in ourselves, and to take charge of our lives.

Taurus is an Earth sign. With an Earth sign Jupiter, we are practical realists who need to visualize results in order to feel motivated to achieve them. We are "doers" who are not easily lured by get rich quick schemes! During this cycle, we are not risk takers--we need direction, clear goals, and strong plans, and we value tangible results. More specifically with Jupiter in Taurus, we attract the most good fortune when we are charitable, generous but discriminating, and patient. Prosperous areas are ones that allow us to discriminate and determine the worth of products and to draw upon our resourcefulness, as well as financial and investments. A strong self-image or feelings of self-worth contribute to success.

There can be a delight for sensual pleasures and a desire for the "simple good life" with Jupiter in Taurus. In contrast to the urgency of Jupiter in Aries, we can take pleasure now in pursuing our goals in a more drawn out and leisurely fashion, watching our profits or possessions slowly but surely accumulate. Basic needs have to be met satisfyingly before other goals are pursued.
