Jupiter in Leo Tarot — The 5 of Wands, the 7 of Wands, and Why the Wheel Backs Up | Astrology Ride of the Day

About this episode

Time to grab your cards. Jupiter's path through Leo maps directly onto three tarot cards by decan — the 5, 6, and 7 of Wands — and every one of them carries both an upright and a reversed face at the same time, not as separate outcomes but as two sides of the same energy. We open with Chiron sitting right on the degree Jupiter entered Leo at, squaring Jupiter as it crossed in — tension between wounding and power right from day one. Then the 5 of Wands: everybody fighting over ground nobody's actually won yet, upright as productive competition, reversed as exhaustion or quietly dropping out. We check in on exactly where Jupiter sits in the sky right now, heading toward its pre-retrograde shadow in mid-September. Then the 7 of Wands — Jupiter hitting 27° Leo in December and stationing retrograde, someone reaching the hill only to find out everyone below still wants the spot. And then the part that matters most: why the Wheel doesn't just stop, it goes backward — an unnatural move for the planet of expansion, and exactly what turns this stretch into a reckoning instead of a pause. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

  1. Jupiter's transit through Leo maps onto three tarot cards by decan — the 5 of Wands (0–10°), the 6 of Wands (10–20°, Jupiter's own decan), and the 7 of Wands (20–30°).
  2. Every card in this timeline carries both an upright and reversed face simultaneously — not two different possible outcomes, but the same energy seen from opposite sides.
  3. The 5 of Wands upright is productive friction that sharpens whoever survives it; reversed, it's the same conflict without the growth — exhaustion, infighting, or quietly opting out of the competition altogether.
  4. Jupiter stations retrograde at 27° Leo around December 12, 2026, right in 7 of Wands territory — the moment someone reaches the hill only to discover everyone below still wants the position.
  5. Jupiter moving backward through the sky is an unnatural motion for the planet of expansion specifically — that friction is exactly what turns the retrograde stretch into a real reckoning instead of a routine pause.

I'll see you there. Set to my 12 note. I sell balance your energy So now we're gonna get on to the fun section the tarot section and Tarot mentioned you might want to grab three cards some cards

You might want to grab the Wheel of Fortune You might want to grab the strength card I want to grab the five of ones the six of ones and the seven of ones Why grab those ones? Because the first ten degrees of Leo Connected to the five of ones the second ten degrees 10 to 20 of Leo would be the six of ones and the third ten Degrees of Leo which would be 20 to 30 which would be the seven of ones now on June 30th of 2026 the wheel of fortune enters strength The wheel of fortune being Jupiter strength being Leo And it crosses into Leo at zero degrees And the year opened by the way at that When Jupiter first entered into Leo

Jupiter entered they had another planet on at zero degrees as well right? So Kairan was sitting on the Cust of power and Jupiter when it first went to Leo and when it was sitting at zero degrees we had Jupiter sitting on the cust of oscillation squaring Kairan The wounded heeler on the cust of power tension Anything come to mind tower with tension between power wounding in your power and Expansion of oscillation I guess the first question would be some people sitting up this thing was

oscillation God I just tell people think of a fan Moving side that back and forth as an oscillation is the movement from left to right or back and forth movement with that Yeah, it's maybe some Examining it or questioning of things You mentioned the three cards while you mentioned five cards We'll fortune a strength in there as well, but the five six seven of ones now all of those and you spoke about the degrees being with the deacons of Leo Maybe for the people looking at those cards For each of those deacons there's a different planet in there. Maybe you want to tell them what One is for what for the five of ones you would have Saturn rules that Deacon and then actually the

Six of wines which would be the 10 to 20 Leo Jupiter The planet we've been talking about actually rules that Deacon and so while Jupiter is in the six of ones It's gonna have full strength and then seven of wines is Mars One of the molasses All right So Every card in the timeline carries both faces of it of itself Upright and reverse There aren't two different things that might happen. It's the same energy seen from two different sides Upright is the card doing its stated job reverse is the same force turn inward delayed Or working against itself Both live inside each stage of this transit the whole time the way the way Jupiter's more

Always carries its own excess right alongside the growth now some of 2026 Five of one what's the five of ones about strife? All right, the wheel arrives Immediately and finds it caught a crowd around already fighting over the ground. It just landed on This is June 30th of This year June and July This is Jupiter expansion opportunity more walking straight into a room full of people who all think the opportunity belongs to them Nobody's one yet everybody's certain they should it the wheel doesn't hand anyone the wind here It just makes the argument louder Upright, this is productive friction competition at sharpens whoever survives it energy in the room instead of stagnation

Reverse though is the same conflict without the sharpening Exhaustion instead of momentum in fighting that goes nowhere or someone who avoids the competition All together and quietly drops out of the running Before it even starts both are five of one neither is wrong Neither is the wrong one. They just is they're just which side of the same friction shows up We stand where we stand as early 2026 now Jupiter has been moving through early Through the five ones early to mid Leo Sitting right around the boundary between five and six of ones the friction of strife giving way to the first stretch of victory Victory territory it enters its full pre-retro gray shadow

period around September 16 which is coming up When Jupiter gets to seven degree 17 degrees Leo now Any any thoughts about the five of one's terror Well, it's interesting. It's all it's all newer What we're talking nine weeks in June 30th going back to that with Strife and clashing Hey, you you know that you was going through a party and graduation time doing it Yeah, and you think about if you think about what you was dealing with at that time Yeah, yeah, um, it's um Been a lot of a reflection. I would say

And then and people looking for recognition as well and you mentioned about strife Competition Egos can be quite clashing and even things on the world scale Looking at that right now with people people on power flooding heads and trying Pivoting you know for a position of power and seeking that recognition So it's interesting some of the movements that have been Going on with people worldwide with positioning things politically and economically And militarily as well with that so it's an interesting tension and strife I mean you hit it Oh now they hit with that straight like the tension you you can feel it and there's a lot of

unrest Even even here in in the US with things because there's economic Outcome and Damage that occurs because of this and he goes Really can affect your decision making process To be Questioned without a doubt if it's going to be a positive or negative how that is going to Info and choose so yeah a lot of that comes to mind it's interesting this time frame here with the five of lawns and the Saturn and Leo and Saturn You talk about lessons Restriction right with the planet and all that so yeah, so Jupiter's currently in the six of ones and it's going actually it's going to really move quickly through the six of y and get to the seven of ones And it's going to get it's going to get to the seven of wands and

Jupiter's going to make it to 27 degrees Leo around December 12 of this year and Station retrograde now The seven of wands is someone reached the hill and now discovers everyone below stills wants the position Not climbing anymore It's defending This is the wheel at its most uncomfortable pairing Expansion doesn't want to hold still dig in it wants to keep moving but seven demands exactly The seven demands exactly that Plant your feet Stop looking for the next opportunity and prove you can keep the one you've already got now upright The seven is this is holding the line pressured but standing

Reverse it's the moment the ground gives out Overwhelmed by the opposition exhausted from defending or simply deciding the hill isn't worth it anymore Stepping back saying pressure either either direction it can go Any thoughts on the seven of one Yeah, you hit again now and have with the Defending would be a keyword with that and and standing firm Also, you know Would be another thing if you look at the card you can see he's got a firm stance here with everything as well and it's also It questions or makes you sort of Realize about courage under challenge as well and being firm in your stance and

Wanting to defend higher ground because you've over over came things to get to this point when you talk about this five six seven And this is Mars and Leo Mars's action oriented With the seven of lawns here, so it's It's interesting because there's a Like a fierce Attitude that you have with with that defending what because Defending what you've earned as what I was going to say there. So it's like in a it's accomplishment with that so You're very steadfast with Maintaining or retaining what you've acquired All right, I know y'all sitting up there thinking Paul you talk about the five and then you skipped over to the seven Why did you talk about the six because and the December of 26 until April of 27?

Jupiter's gonna retrograde back to the six of one and This is a part that matters the most Jupiter doesn't just stop it goes backwards Retreating from valor into victory's territory You and your thought it was just it was finished But it isn't The wheel which normally just keeps the momentum going forward is forced to loop back over ground it already covered That's an unnatural move for the for Jupiter Expansion doesn't like to retrace its steps And that friction is exactly what makes this stretch feel like a reckoning instead of a normal pause What exactly was one Maybe the victory was real maybe the applause was real but temporary Maybe the position was gained but the authority underneath it wasn't

Maybe everyone believed the story until the story had to survive scrutiny You know, I always give credit words to that's like keep it in the back to you here two words that you always say with retrograde review and reflect Yeah, and from what you were just saying there it really makes Like a scrutinization scrutinize that's a word you just said to Analyze is what I was gonna say like meticulously Analyze and review things that occurred and Really from different angles like a big a comprehensive analysis and An overview of the synopsis of everything that occurred because you don't want to feel like your waisting time that you said about Jupiter doesn't like to you don't like to go over gains and everything and You know review go over it again like you're it's like double the work if you will because you've already accomplished it and got over and got passed

Thing so it's it with retrograde review and reflect R&R retrograde R review R reflect That's what you say a lot and it's very true And it's really it's a time of it'll be a time of reflection and that's the end of this year You said December here until April 2027 Yeah, without yeah, so in that in a time frame there is one that what a car It could Be interesting what What you ever seen someone I Get into hey, I'm fighting for this whatever And get so focused on the fight that lost side of the big picture and They end up winning Hey, I'm one and not defeated everybody, but then after you look around you like wait, hold up

What did I actually win? Yeah, now that there's nobody around I defeated everybody wait, hold up. What was our fighting for what did I win? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, head home or not Time, yeah, they get about myself in regards to that yeah right now, but yeah Yeah, so that's self-reflection possibly will Create a revelation another R word That might occur of it because yeah, sometimes you get caught up in the details You miss the bigger picture Hmm If you like these daily horoscopes and want one personalized for you Same style three minutes about your chart you can book a first impression reading at IMAsrologyreadings.com for $25 and I'll record it dropping right here on the V tips is also welcome Even the dollar helps full deep dive readings also available
