The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction is exact today. This is not as much of a turning point as one might expect, the two planets will continue to travel very close to each until year-end. Think of the energy as a slow ocean swell that gradually rises and falls during its time together.
Like all astrology energy, Jupiter/Neptune in combination can manifest in many ways--but they are tied in with the overall meaning of the energy. Jupiter is expansion. It makes us feel optimistic and under its influence we can, if unrestrained, be prone to excess.
It is a time of hope, but not the sharpest judgment.
Neptune represents dreams and illusions. It is also associated with substances and the people that cause dreams and illusions. These range from those who inspire to con-artists.
Their presence coincides with the "Camelot" aura around Barack Obama's presidency. His ability to inspire hope is a good antidote to the gloom of the economic downturn.
A good use of Tarot is to bring out and highlight astrological symbolism.
Today's #amtarot draw, The Magician, illuminates today's conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune. First you have to have a dream. Then The Magician works his magic by enabling the ability to manifest.
He is a person of many skills. This is appropriate because we live in a physical world--dreams are not enough on their own--it is necessary to use knowledge and skill to turn dream into reality.
When working less positively, The Magician can manifest the negative side of Neptune. The Magician, particularly reversed, can be a glib, fast-talker, using his powers of persuasion to empty your wallet.
