A LOVE LETTER TO JUPITER IN CAPRICORN

I’m so grateful for the certainty of your humility. I know that the thin line between humble & deprecating gets too thin sometimes, but you bounce back. and I love the way you stay radiant, like the dewy glow of sweat after hard work or the light of someone whose pragmatic mind offers clarity.

I love the pragmatism of your discernment- it’s so fucking sexy!

your interest in the wisdom of clear containers & consistent assessment of our actual capacity is a gift that keeps on giving, though we may not realize it in the moment. we’re looking for the comfort of miraculous guidance or accelerated expansion that has been exiled. this may only mean it is waiting for us past where we’ve been willing to walk…until now.

the path of alignment is longer & more tiring than maybe we were ready for, especially if we’ve been too caught up in theory while missing practical application or too caught up in practice to improve upon theory. yet you know the benefits outweigh the costs when we stop operating transactionally with everything (including the multiverse itself) & learn to let time talk. it’s no pretension & all discretion with you. damn.

I know that your time in capricorn means that you promise nothing that we think we want but much of what we don’t realize we need. for some, this time is an increase of pessimism. for others, a lengthy yet deeply valuable reality check. either way, I’m reminded of how I hear you in the way Mariame Kaba frames “hope is a discipline, not an emotion or sense of optimism” (from description of ep. 19, Beyond Prisons). or in how SZA sang “clarity is a state of mind”.

thank you for challenging our limitations without denying us the reality of possibility. thank you for presencing the importance of integrity & accountability in relationships to mentors, guides, teachers, tradition itself. thank you for telling us how to preserve our dignity through response-able practice rather than reactivity. thank you for showing us where the kyriarchy (intersecting systems of oppression) impacts our ability to be useful in the application of our knowledge.

your praxis of devotion is a blessing. may we be equipped to receive & sustain it, to love you back, to love each other in these ways.


Jupiter is in capricorn Dec. 2019-Dec. 2020. if you were born in 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960 this may be your Jupiter return. these are rough dates for the 12 year cycles of Jupiter; your chart needs to be checked & not all returns are created equal. if you are a cardinal rising sign/placement holder (aries, libra, cancer, cap), this may be a transit of significant shifts for you. you can always book a reading to discuss this with me further!
