Re: Jupiter square Jupiter - a joyful time!
Without any specific detail (your link brings up a blank page) it's difficult to be certain but ...
My guess is that they're giving quite a wide orb to Jupiter's transits. Jupiter itself was at 23Pisces back at end of April, moved forward 10 degrees to 3Aries in mid-July and has since retrograded back to 23Pisces.
IF you were to have natal Jupiter at 28Cappy or 28Taurus and IF you gave the sextile transits an orb of 5-6 degrees then you could claim its been in sextile for all that time and will be until Feb. BUT I'd say that's too big an orb for a transit.
This article suggests 1degree for sextile transit orbs (e.g. 59-61degs) and 2degs in the natal chart (e.g. 58-62degs) although acknowledges some astrologers use up to 5 degrees.
I'll have a Jupiter sextile Jupiter transit soon, it will last for a week, but I know someone whose had it for months. Why is this?

Thank you for telling me about the link (I think I fixed it), and explaining the Jupiter sextile transit. I saw it on astro's short report forecast, they probably use wide orbs.

It can also be caused by retrograde action. Jupiter turns direct next week right on top of my Venus. It will have been within 1 degree orb for almost 3 months before it separates.
