To express my gratitude for the countless gifts we are bestowed with, I wanted to take some roses, carry them a long distance into the heart of a forest and leave the flowers with the water as a gift to the life giving forces of nature. While I was there, touching and sitting on the rocks, I thought of the people before me who had come there and perhaps taken a bath, washed their clothes or collected water for their homes. And while leaving I thought of the people who would come here next, wishing they would wonder where the flowers came from. Maybe their hearts will grow softer and they wouldn’t toss their plastic bottles and wrappers into the same water. Whenever I shoot flowers, fruits or vegetables in a landscape or in the city, I always leave them behind. I find this gesture fulfilling and spiritually satisfying, just feels natural. As the water flows, the petals will flow along and as the earth sits still, the pomegranate or an orange will thicken and sweeten, feeding many in need, I am sure.

The photo and quote above just speak Jupiter in Pisces to me. Perfectly!
Jupiter is the planet of wisdom, religion, philosophy, spirituality, blessings, luck, good fortune, hope and dreams.
What is luck? What is being lucky? Is it being rich? Having money in the bank account? Or is it being wise? Being a good person? Feeling love in your heart? Having compassion…
One of the most important things I learned during my stay in Mysore, India, in December 2019, is to make offerings. No matter how poor, I saw every Indian make an offering in temples. One doesn’t dare to ask the gods and goddesses for blessings without making an offering. Western tourists would hold their hands out for blessings, but they were often unwilling to offer even one rupee.
That’s not how Jupiter works… Jupiter in Pisces teaches us that real fortune, richness and love is found in making offerings and in having compassion.
Jupiter in Pisces wants us to offer flower petals to the rivers.
