I'm going through Jupiter transiting my 1st now.
At first, I lost a ton of weight. I embraced an exercise program, and I put all my energy (super increased energy) into it and dropped like 30 lbs. I was much more optimistic...and my lucky streak was phenomenal!
I played scratch and wins and won 500 dollars. My mother went through a simulatenous transit and won 600+ dollars at the casino every time she went (which was every weekend).
It was a partying, gambling, look-hot weight-loss bonanza, it was amazing!
Then. Jupiter retrograded and conjuncted my natal Saturn, just above my ascendant.
All my luck flew out the window. I didn't get bad luck, but the lucky streak went away.
And Because I lost so much weight I stopped working out, when Jupiter retrograded...I gained it ALL back and plus some extra unwanted flab. I was relying on that luck far too much, (my knowledge of astrology didn't help).
Idk if the effect would be as harsh if I wasn't hit by crazy harsh Saturn transits at the same time (conjunct Moon, square Mercury, Venus, opposite Mars...). Now that Jupiter is preparing to transit through my 1st again (from the beginning). I'm relying on good old-fashioned hard work this time..haha.
But it felt good while it lasted. And it's true, it will cause you to gain weight if you're not careful. Of course Jupiter itself doesn't do this, you're gonna feel super indulgent. And want to please yourself at all times, unless you've got other transits going on preventing it.
I think my Saturn transits got me down for so long, that when Jupiter rolled around...I went nuts
