Jupiter Return #4

The pull to expand returns, with different taste behind it. Which doors waste time is already known, so cut the list down to three and keep betting on what survives the cut.

In detail

Jupiter Return #4: Jupiter reaches the natal degree a fourth time, between roughly 47 and 49, arriving after the Uranus opposition of ages 40 to 42. Having been through that sorting of what is genuinely one's own against what was merely expected, the emphasis of this expansion moves from how much ground to which ground: fewer options, better judgement. Jupiter covers about 5 arcminutes a day, so a 3-degree orb spans roughly ten weeks, with the same degree often crossed three times across a retrograde loop. Where the first three returns pushed the perimeter outward, this one filters. Fewer bets get placed and each one carries more.

FAQ

What separates the fourth Jupiter return from the earlier ones?

The first three pushed the perimeter outward; this one filters. The field of options narrows, judgement sharpens, and fewer bets get placed with more riding on each.

Why does it follow the Uranus opposition?

The Uranus opposition falls between 40 and 42 and sorts what is genuinely one's own from what was only expected. The fourth Jupiter return lands between 47 and 49, so whatever expands has already passed through that filter.
