Jupiter is traveling with the North Node of Destiny this year from May 16 to July 17, 2023, so get ready for two months of Taurean delight. Jupiter and the North Node both push towards more of whatever they’re about. In Taurus, this can be connection with nature, sweetness and joy, as well as beauty and sensual values. Sensuality can be food or nice fabrics, not just sexy fun! Taurus is the fertile garden of the zodiac so it’s gonna get juicy. We’re gonna talk big picture first, then get into how Jupiter conjunct the North Node will affect each zodiac sign.
A couple good examples of this we’ve seen in pop culture already are Janelle Monae’s new single and Timotheé Chalamet’s Willy Wonka remake. Monae’s new single is all about Taurean abundance—slow, sapphic indulgence, with a richly sexy music video. Chalamet’s Wonka is planned to be a more innocent and childlike version, full of sweetness and joy, standing in opposition to the dark, sarcastic tone of the 1970s original—which came out during Jupiter in Scorpio, the opposite sign from Taurus!
Jupiter is the planet of wisdom, good fortune and expansion. Think Santa Claus meets Merlin—bringing presents but also sage advice. Jupiter crowns and exalts what it touches, like the advisor to a king. Nature is being seen as more important and the movement to replace lawns with gardens is becoming more prominent, as well as mainstream use of plant medicine get even bigger. We are also seeing more and more people make rest and leisure a greater priority in their lives as well as things like “slow-maxxing.” Owning one’s deepest desires is also part of this story. None of this is brand new but we’re gonna watch it grow even more while Jupiter is in Taurus, especially while he’s with the North Node.
In evolutionary astrology, the North Node is considered a point of destiny and fruitful life direction; the compass pointing where to grow. In Vedic astrology, it’s known as Rahu and considered a point of excess and overdoing, so the Taurean indulgence has a risk of going too far here. A triple-chocolate fudge cake is amazing, but if you eat the whole thing in one sitting it’ll make you sick.
It’s our hope that more body positivity will come out of this—Taurus is all about the relationship with one’s body, and that relationship can get very complicated in a culture where some bodies are idealized and others seen as shameful. This isn’t just to do with size, but color, gender, gender expression and age. It’s our hope that this time will show us a watershed moment for seeing things around body positivity and self-love continue to change for the better. After Jupiter officially joins forces with the North Node on June 1, 2023, you’ll feel these themes become even more prominent in your life and our world at large.
Let’s talk about what it means for you, according to your rising sign (and if you don’t know know your birth time, your sun sign):

Gemini & Gemini Rising
This transit is taking place in your 12th house of retreat and mental health. It’s asking you to take greater time for yourself. To focus on winding down and slowing down. We know how hard that can be, believe us, but rest and alone time are crucial for you right now. This focus not only helps you, but it also improves your one-on-one relationships and your career. In terms of career, a shift to work-from-home may be key for you, or shifting your work-life balance in other ways than knocking out the commute. Sometimes solitude is crucial for romantic partnerships, because exploring your needs and desires on your own can lead to breakthroughs in your relationship, stuck places coming unstuck. A break from work can be important in the same way; it might be just what you need to open the path forward towards your dreams. Read your full 2023 horoscope here.

Friendships and networking will be of key focus for you while this energy is manifesting through your 11th house, as well as your dreams and aspirations.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
This conjunction is happening in your 9th house of education/higher learning, spirituality and foreign travel.

It’s also a wonderful time to connect with nature, plants, animals or your own body on a deeper spiritual level. Because Jupiter rules your 4th house of home, bringing more nature into your house by sprucing up the garden or just hanging a porthos in your bedroom can make a world of difference for your well-being.

Libra & Libra Rising
Jupiter meets up with the North Node in your 8th house, which governs shared resources, transformation and taboo. It’s a great time to dip your toes into pursuing long-held secret desires. Anything exciting and a little scary (sexually or otherwise). This is a fruitful time for any deep inner-healing work you’re doing. It’s a time to shed old baggage and any internalized projections of what other people want. Jupiter rules your 3rd house of writing and 6th house of daily habits, so a journaling practice might be a big help here, since the 8th house tends to hide from us. Partners—romantic or otherwise—may receive a windfall, especially ones you share finances with! It’s a great time to clean out less metaphorical dark hidden spots as well. There can be treasure hidden in the attic that you haven’t touched in years, why not go spelunking? Read your full 2023 horoscope here.

Or to commission an artist or creative for something new and different, since Jupiter also rules your 5th house of art, creativity, fun and play. Fun with your crush is on the table here too of course, because it’s a great time to try something new and different with a romantic partner. Like a restaurant that just opened up, try that new hole in the wall together! Read your full 2023 horoscope here.

You’ll likely realize how much beauty and joy are key to your vitality and well being, as well as any gigs or job opportunities that come up. Changes may also happen in family and household relationships, since you’re more focused on taking care of the day-to-day. If you’ve been thinking about adopting a new furry friend, one might fall in your lap during this transit. If you already have a pet and it isn’t spayed, you might even have kittens or puppies to look forward to. Any time there’s 6th house action life gets busier, so look forward to being more active and engaged!
