What Sun Sextile Jupiter Means
The Sun sextile Jupiter on May 11 is one of those days that just feels good, and with both planets channeling Taurus's grounded abundance, the good feeling has substance behind it. When the Sun (your identity, your life force) reaches out to Jupiter (expansion, luck, wisdom), the result is a broader outlook on life, a sunnier disposition, and the quiet confidence that comes from believing things can actually work out.
This is a lucky transit in the truest sense, not lottery-ticket lucky, but open-door lucky. Opportunities present themselves to people who are paying attention. Foreign and legal affairs are favored. Educational pursuits expand your perspective in ways that feel genuinely exciting, and the authority and influence you carry today are noticeably elevated. People listen when you speak, not because you are loud, but because you radiate competence and optimism.
The Taurus influence keeps the expansion grounded. You are not chasing every shiny possibility. You are identifying the ones that have real, tangible value and investing your energy there. If you have been waiting for a sign that something is worth pursuing, this transit is the cosmos offering a quiet, confident nod of approval.
