I always feel kind of sorry for Jupiter, it seems to be a planet which falls between the cracks by astrology. Looking at the literature, I have seen this planet called both an inner and outer planet, so it seems to be in a limbo land of sorts.
I do not consider it an inner, personal planet, but an outer planet. But yes your point is well taken that it moves faster than the other outer planets. And therefore may not have as much time to impact the entire globe.
That said, I do think that from a macro perspective, there will be an impact. Jupiter goes into Libra today, Sept 9, 2016 and will stay until October 10, 2017, which is a 13 month cycle. It will also be going retrograde for four months during that time, giving us an extra dose of Jupiter in Libra energy. And transit energy can have lingering effects, Jupiter results being felt up to a year afterwards.
Jupiter has been in Virgo for the past year, and it certainly has been true to form here in the US politics for example. Away from the grandstanding of Jupiter in Leo, to more of the housekeeping, practicality, cleaning up and focus on investigative detail. Hopefully we now can move into a more harmonious, partnership based tone.
