JUDGE SONIA SOTOMAYOR
Want something good to happen in your life? First be in a position that it can happen and second, you need a Jupiter progression -- sometimes a Jupiter transit will do if your progressions are good.
Judge Sotomayor's natal Jupiter has progressed to sit right on her natal Mercury (communications). While her progressed Mercury is sextile (good) her natal Neptune (dreams). Then, can it get any better, her progressed Mars (usually the bad guy) is trine (good) her natal Moon (feelings).
Just to mix it up a bit, her natal Moon nodes are being squared by her progressed Venus (things you love). And her progressed Moon is opposition Saturn (authority). So it hasn't been totally easy. They have made her work (Saturn) for it. Nodes and the progressed Moon usually will not create the negative events the other planets are capable of doing.
This is the chart you want. Anytime you have a Jupiter progression (like President Obama had until recently), something big and lucky will come your way -- if you are in a position to take advantage of it. Obama would not be president if he hadn't done a lot of work prior to his nomination.
Like all progressions, Jupiter progressions will only occur only once or twice in your lifetime so get an astrologer to give you the timing or just be ready.
UPDATE: Judge Sotomayor has a lifetime appointment to The Supreme Court.
