What Sun in Virgo Square Jupiter in Gemini Means for Your Zodiac Sign
The sun's square to Jupiter could test your character and belief systems, according to astrologer Valerie Mesa
An overarching transit approaches as the sun will square Jupiter, ushering in exciting opportunities and an influx of information that inspires a newfound philosophy. Temper your enthusiasm — this contradicting synergy can be equally favorable as it is excessive, not to mention unrealistic. While being overly optimistic in your approach, you may spread yourself too thin or perhaps even act out of character.
In astrology, the sun represents our core identity, physical expression and the essence of who we are; it governs our vitality, confidence and creative expression. In Virgo, the sun shines a light on what needs to be critiqued, improved and polished, as this Mutable sign is known for its analytical nature and attention to detail. With the sun in Virgo, there is a greater focus on our responsibilities, well-being and day-to-day affairs.
Jupiter, on the other hand, symbolizes growth, expansion, abundance and the pursuit of knowledge. It encourages us to explore new horizons, embrace growth and foster a sense of hope and optimism. In Gemini, Jupiter enhances curiosity, adaptability and communication, inspiring the desire for variety and intellectual stimulation. On the dark side, the sea of possibilities available to us can feel overwhelming, leading to anxiety and restlessness.
On Sept. 12, tensions will rise as this square can manifest in several ways: an inflated ego, a test of character or a tendency to overestimate one’s abilities and resources. Jupiter’s approach can typically feel larger than life, leading us to believe we are capable of more than we can realistically handle. The temptation to take on too many commitments is strong, so it’s important that we make sure our ambitions don’t compromise our values and integrity in the process.
Read on for what the sun square Jupiter means for your zodiac sign.
