Jupiter: The Retrograde, Sign, House and Aspects

 

 

The planet that governs over my relationships and my 7th house is Jupiter. It is my descendant which puts my 7th house in Sagittarius. this is also referred to as the Other, the Shadow, your alter ego, the side which you keep private...

 

Jupiter: Faith and Growth

 

Jupiter is all about growth and the laws, beliefs, and ethics that govern it. It is also a sense of expansion, which leads on to faith and joy, opportunity and enthusiasm. Naturally this can lead to excess and to being 'over' -something like overoptimistic, overindulgent, overrated, overweight, etc. It is also about growth in the sense of travel and philosophy, religion or broadening of knowledge and understanding. Jupiter is anything big, as well as the bigger picture and God.

 

When we are born, we look to the mother figure to give us our food and care. Our first attempt at relating to someone else comes from our own survival needs. A baby yells for food and the food appears; a baby needs care and after a cry or two the care appears. When a baby reaches out to another person, the reaching out is motivated by "need" The childhood years teach us how to relate with people who are not our parents; we usually learn how to do this because of our relationship with brothers, sisters and or playmates. We want their toys, we have to learn to share. We go to school and learn something about team play or teamwork. If we have problems learning to relate as young people or if we still find it difficult to relate as adults, Some Jupiter affliction may be prominent in the chart.

 

Many astrologers have called Jupiter the expansive planet; it indicates our "good luck" problems with weight gain, and it indicates abundance. Jupiter may symbolize all of those things, but if we are looking to discover what motivates a person , what the blocks may be when attempting to communicate with others, the problem may be diagnosed from the sign and aspects that are involved with Jupiter.

 

Jupiter can be called a generational planet because it sits in a sign for about a year, it takes 12 years to circle the zodiac. This means that lots of people have Jupiter in the same sign. Jupiter cannot be considered really a personal planet unless it aspects the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars or the Ascendant in the chart. The personal planets describe personal attributes, and Jupiter describes the beginnings of relating self to the outer environment. Some call the process of relating self to environment the microcosm-macrocosm relationship.

 

When Jupiter is afflicted, the individual is born into a household where attitudes regarding the concepts of relating or not well developed. This child sees a set of "normals" which imply that people do not consider each other's needs, or perhaps the family members don't listen to each other. As an adult, he may reach out to relate and find he's lapsed back into the patterns he observed as a child. He may express himself in an unconstructive manner, getting into these dilemmas fostered by "I want it anyway;" he may relate excessively, he may over expand or over relate; he may pursue whims that are not based on common sense. He may not have any conscious idea of what he wants for life. He may not know how to examine his personal needs because he never was allowed to do so as a child, or he may not have seen his parents doing it.

 

If we wish to experience more than just a role-playing relationship, we each must learn how to relate our feelings, our thoughts, and our personalities to someone else. When Jupiter is well Aspected, the individual is taught healthy relating procedures in the early home. When Jupiter is afflicted, the ability to relate to another person must be consciously learned. As we explore consciousness, if we wish to develop a well integrated personality, Jupiter symbolizes one of the stepping stones in our development, for it gives us the key to how we are functioning in the relating department.  

 

If we wish to go further in the process of evolving consciousness Jupiter symbolizes the need to integrate the knowledge we learn into our daily lives. The knowledge that we assimilate must be kept in perspective. The learned person may use his knowledge to set himself apart from others, to maintain a position above others, to remain untouched by those which whom he comes into contact. We hear the phrase, "He has a large ego," but more often than not the individual with the purported large ego has no ego at all. Because he has poorly developed sense of self, he has a need to make others aware of his importance. Relating, on the other hand, is a whole different thing, for it includes sharing, being a part of, while at the same time maintaining a sense of self. This means the self must feel pretty secure, for we can't really share it until we have a healthy self image! Relating to another person can be illustrated by thinking of a pebble thrown into a pond. It makes ripples. Every ripple is free and also a part of the water in the pond. We are each free to do our own thing, yet we, too are part of the "pond."

 

In the personal sense, Jupiter indicates how we will relate ourselves to others. Some people may feel that Mercury would better indicate this relating potential, but Mercury symbolizes how we think and talk. We can talk an awful lot without relating or allowing ourselves to be open or receptive to share with someone else. The aspects to Jupiter will indicate how the sign potential can be shared with others -friends, lovers, family, as well as how the personality is integrated into the environment. 

 

Jupiter in Scorpio

 

Your faith is discovered in crisis situations. So what or who pushes you to your limits is what you find irresistible. Whatever you are after in life is probably lying deep somewhere, either in earth, water or most likely in the mind or soul. You are enormously confident in your pursuit in such things, but you can also be ruthless too, getting people to do your bidding, often through sexual or financial means.

 

Because of all of this, you stand to gain, or lose, a great deal. As ever with Scorpio placements, there is an 'all or nothing' quality about them. And as Jupiter itself has to do with excess, your life will be punctuated with great highs and great lows. The big question is whether the ultimate payback is worth the investment, especially in emotionally terms. In other words, your undeniable ability to get what you want out of people and things could find you wealthy but not necessarily happy. What would prevent this dilemma from occurring is the purging of any greed or dubious alterior motives.  

 

Jupiter in the 5th house 

 



Most of all you apply this faith to, or look for it in, your enjoyment of living life to the full through creative, speculative, or romantic pursuits- or children if you have any. Your giving rein to your lust for life can lean towards the excessive, but you have the innate belief that it is only through experiencing something to excess that you will properly absorb the meaning and worth of that experience- and then know for sure where you stand in relationship to it. You are a great believer that life is a play and the world is a stage- but just make sure you know who the director is!

Retrograde Jupiter: The symbol, Personality, Karma, Sign and House

The greatest beneficent giver is symbolized by the Crescent of Soul rising vertically from the western arm of the Cross of Matter. When matter and soul combine harmoniously each is able to fulfill the other. It is interesting to note that the Western arm of the Cross is highly significant as the West always symbolizes maturity of that which has grown out of it birth in the East. In the normal symbol, the Cross of matter appears east of the crescent of Soul. Thus what the individual has materialized early in life, forms his wisdom later on.

For the retrograde Jupiter, the inverted symbol shows the Crescent of Soul in the East transporting the Cross of matter to the west. Thus, what the individual knows within his Soul early in this life ( and a result of past incarnations) is always what gives birth to what he experiences in matter later on. This can make retrograde experience a highly spiritual journey if the individual chooses to use it to its best potential. There is a type of incorruptible insistence on truth the retrograde Jupiter as it does not depend so much on the changes in matter that often sway the meaning of so many other planetary configurations. The individual is free to experience himself on a more pure level than if his truth depended upon his material existence.

At the same time, This configuration  causes conflict with the outer world, as idealism takes precedence over practicality. A natural affinity for Jupiter's pure truth creates a distaste for the mundane everyday experiences of life.

Personality

The individual with retrograde Jupiter is a living truth unto himself. His ideas about right and wrong, the morality of the world he travels in, and in the fairness of other peoples opinion has little effect on what he feels inside. In a powerful attempt to be righteous, this person develops his own unique set of standards. Usually, these are coming from past personal experiences early in this life as well as from other incarnations, and do not necessarily reflect mass consciousness, as much as they do the individuals privately formed conception of the universe.

He is highly conscious of different places and how much they are similar to each other. At the same time, his is conscious of different levels in his ways of thinking. Always a student of the mind, he seeks experience an abundant richness within himself. which he hopes will eventually qualify the possibilities that are available to him in the outer world. Often this causes him much discontent, manifesting itself as an inner restlessness. He likes to get on with things, grasping the essences of an idea and relating to its importance rather than the details necessary to put that idea into practice.

If  well Aspected, he can be strongly self-motivated, but has to guard against trying to do too many things at the same time. Basically, he is a free spirit. And while he will conform to the ideals of society which are helpful to him, he struggles constantly to maintain his sense of individuality.

Some with this placement have great wisdom, amounting to almost a prophetic ability. Quiet, unless spoken to, they can in few words sum up the essence of a long involved detailed projects, which would enmesh others in a multitude of trivia.

As much as the individual is capable of being conscious of, his intrinsic self-honesty is one of his most important identifiable characteristics. If poorly Aspected the Retrograde Jupiter can cause a person to hold grudges from past incarnations. In these cases, a long past desire to get even becomes reprojected onto new people in the present. Fortunately this is the exception rather than the rule; for the Retrograde Jupiter affords the individual an opportunity to see himself through his higher mind. when he does this some of this personal self-involvement gives way to a higher and more impersonal understanding. The development of richness in the inner being ultimately takes precedence over the desire  to acquire riches in the outer world.

Karma

The Karma in the Retrograde Jupiter always deals with the introspection through  the higher mind. The individual must be able to justify himself to himself in order to feel that he is truly worthy of the respect and honor that Jupiter promises.

In some former incarnation there had to be a higher regard for some religious or spiritual principle which the individual  has seen violated. In the current life he feels even more determined to restate the value of this principle in his mind.

He has to guard against being judgmental of others as he sees an outer world vibrating to rules he cannot fathom. Still he must have patience with others, if he expects them to listen to the expression of his inner truths.

On another level, there is a tremendous amount of deja-vu experiences inherent in the Retrograde Jupiter. Times and places from the past all blend into a continuous present, such that at any given moment or in any  given place, the individual is in touch with generalizing that time or place into all like times and place that he has experienced. Thus, his consciousness expands through these two dimensions simultaneously, and often without limitation. He does not know how to bind his mind totally inward to a fine point focus. Instead, he absorbs the symbols of his thoughts from his environment, ultimately to learn that anywhere is home, and anytime is now! The more these outer symbols represent the truths he learned in a former life, the more comfortable he becomes.

Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio

Here much time is spent in phase 1 of the retrograde process as the individual tries to project what he believes to be the truth to others. However, this is the one sign in which the person is also aware that what he has convinced himself of as the truth is not the complete truth at all. Thus, he can project what superficially believes to be adequately complete while at the same time knowing that he is experiencing a deeper understanding on another level.

He brings into this life memories of struggling for honor and as he lives out his karma he becomes a test for other people in this area. He can bring out the worst and the best in himself and others at the same time. This causes him to be a peculiar paradox. for he is alternately understood and misunderstood, respected and degraded, loved and despised for all he represents to other people. His life is one of constant transformation as each day symbolizes new opportunities for struggle which help him to rise above the lower self which he now sees, but which still binds him in the current life. Very much the extremist, he stand for both heaven and hell at the same time. His ideals are usually very high, but during the first half of life he has difficulty pulling his higher mind out of these intense sexual drive which he brought with him into this life.

On any level, he is not to be bound, for the depths to which he goes are usually reached alone and often completely misunderstood by others. He must have this freedom to explore the unknown reaches of the universe that keep calling him.

Retrograde Jupiter in the 5th House

Here the individual spends most of his time in the phase 1 of the retrograde process. He is reaching outward to express the creative attitudes he has developed in a past incarnation. He sees life on a grand scale and the boundaries of conventional society as the stepping stones which we must transcend at any cost. IF the rest of the horoscope is strong, this adds to a domineering nature.

In those charts containing many squares, along with the emphasis on the fixed signs, the individual tends to be oblivious to the advice of others. He tends to invade other people's psychic space without realizing he is doing it. His own goals are very high but he often overestimates his ability to accomplish them. At times he can expect too much from children because through them he spreads the ideas that he is not capable of achieving himself. He lives with a "don't stop me" attitude as he is bursting forth to taste all life has to offer. At the same time his great sense of pride keeps him from embarrassing myself in the eyes of others. He would rather dart from one creative experience to another than be thought of as being wrong by those whose esteem he wants. He lives by the principle that if he can run through a rainstorm fast enough you won't get wet.

This is a difficult placement for marriage and relationships of a lasting nature as the individual's highest truth is always related to his own opinion of himself rather than the evaluation of criticism he might receive if he allows others to know him too well.

Here is the sense of identity is based on the gap between the ideals set up in former incarnations and all he creates in this life. Thus, he is truly the person who "is what he thinks, having become what he thought" and in later years he will know himself by what he has created.

The Aspects

Jupiter opposing Moon

(Already covered in Big 3 Aspected)

Jupiter quincunx Sun

(Already covered in Big 3 Aspected)

Jupiter sesquisquare Mercury

(Already covered in Mercury Aspects)

Jupiter conjunct Pluto

When the relating principle symbolized by Jupiter is tied to the unconscious motivation symbolized by Pluto, many different kinds of energy manifest. On the other hand, the individual may feel a strong need to develop a perspective between macrocosm and microcosm, and Pluto indicates the content of the collective unconsciousness, a combination of energy between the two planets can indicate a person who may be tremendously creative about manifesting the relating principle.

These aspects may indicate one who can relate to the needs of the masses, for Pluto also symbolizes the masses of people, the common folk. The aspects may also indicate the type of person who needs to control all attempts at relating with the masses, or with people in general.

Because Pluto is one of the slow-moving outer planets, many people born in any given year when Jupiter is transiting the same sign as Pluto will have this aspect. It creates a mini-generation of people who will have choices to make as to how they pursue relationships. If the conjunction is unafflicted by other planets it can be diagnosed by the sign and house placement.

It indicates that relationships will be affected by the unconscious motivation caused by the conjunction to Pluto. It can indicate a person who may need to control all his relationships, a person who needs to stay on top, needs to manage those around him. He may reach out for new experience with great care and caution because he doesn't want to feel out of control. This person may be extremely sensitive about relationships in general, for a chance word overheard can send his subconscious self on a trip that will analyze and re-analyze anything that bothers him because of certain kinds of early childhood experience. This oversensitivity can be worked out by examining childhood experience that relates to the formation of such sensitivities.

Jupiter Sesquisquare Ascendant

(Already covered in the Big 3 Aspected)

Jupiter trine Midhaven

This aspect is good in two ways: first, helping you find the right direction in your life. Second, enabling you to make others feel positive about you and eager to help if you need it. You are able to pursue your goals without making people feel that you will take something away from them. You have a strong sense of social responsibility, a feeling that you should give your life over to a purpose that is useful in the world. It isn't that you are totally selfish or self-sacrificing, but that nothing seems worth doing unless it is of use to others. You will always get along easily with authorities, and while you are young that usually means people who are older. You know that they have something to teach you, and you are willing to learn from them. You don't feel you have to show everyone how smart you are, even though you believe that you are rather special. You are willing to take your time and let the world find out how much you can do. You will always have a project to work on, because you hate to be idle, either in mind or in body. Usually you are busy with some consuming interest, which may mean more to you than being with others. You feel that you are self-sufficient, and that your activities are enough to give you a sense of fulfillment in life. You don't feel an urgent need to be with others all the time.

Putting it All Together:

Needless to say I was an extremely sensitive child. Optimistic. Hopeful. Innocently naïve little girl that wanted to relate to others but unless you spoke to me first I most likely wasn't going to talk to you.  My parents didn't relate well therefore I didn't relate well to others. For me, Jupiter is considered a "personal" planet due to the fact that it is Aspected to my Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Ascendant so for me relating to people means everything to me. Mix this with what you have already discovered about me you can begin to understand how much I had to overcome to become the person that you see before you.

Jupiter: Logan's Setting Planet...

 

Jupiter: Logan's Setting Planet

 

Logan's Setting Sign is that of Sagittarius, ruled by the planet Jupiter. Jupiter by nature is the first outer plant that we encounter after the last personal planet of Mars. When it is connected to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and sometimes Saturn, Jupiter's influence then becomes a personal one; taking into account the Mother's relatibility to her child. Since the mother figure is the first person that we bond with after we come out of the womb it represents the concept of relating to others, how others relate to you and if there are any blocks in her adult life concerning relating it can be found in the aspects. 

 

 

Jupiter in Pisces

Logan's faith in life rests upon the acceptance of things working out as they will. This can lead her into self-sacrifice which may happen unconsciously, with your losing or having to forgo something or someone for reasons beyond your control. Now she has come to distrust that accepting attitude in which she innately believed with her philosophy of life possibly having devolved into something fanciful or insubstantial. this should also be looked at as a revealment of your growth and development in life hinges upon trusting in the power of your sensitivity and goodwill which are the true fundaments of acceptance.

 

Jupiter in the 10th House

Logan will be known for her qualities of faith and enterprise as well as other personal talents: maybe concerning law, drama, teaching, religion or military. Logan having a prominent  and affluent professional position or being involved with something or someone prestigious. Also this could mean that Logan puts too much effort into her public or professional position that she could neglect her inner and home life. Logan has an enthusiasm for publicity, fame and fortune, but she needs to develop sooner rather than later honesty and integrity in performing your duties- or disgrace could result, and then she'd heartily denigrate success. Logan's mother's influence was or still is great concerning this inclination to excel and cut a dash in the outside world.

 

Aspects to Jupiter

Jupiter Square Ascendant

Logan's relating needs argue with her persona. Logan likes to relate to people on an emotional and a very personal manner but since her Ascendant is Gemini Logan tends to relate in a more controversial or more of an intellectual manner. Again Logan needs to learn how to be alright with the emotions that she is feeling and not be afraid to relate to others in a more substantial way.

 

Jupiter Trine Sun

(Covered in The Big 3 Aspected)

 

Jupiter Trine Moon

(Covered in Big 3 Aspected)

 

Jupiter Square Uranus

The relating principle versus the I behave principle. Jupiter shows us how we reach out to the world how we relate to those we like and love, how we relate as an employer or employee. It can be indicative of how we see ourselves in perspective to the universe. Uranus indicates a behavior pattern , how we are eccentric, how we are different or how willful we can be. The square shows that there are frustrations, a problem or an excess of energy. The behavior pattern or personal eccentricities may be working against the relating principle. Impetuous decisions made be made at the beginning of or the end of any relationship. Logan can be open one day and excessively stubborn the next. Uranus can give Logan a warped  perspective to develop in regards to her place in the universe. This might be where Logan doesn't relate to father time or father nature or universal law or one who feels beyond it. Selfishness, abrupt behavior involving other people, a willful attitude about partnerships, and similar kinds of behavior will have to be let go if she wants to get the most creative potential possible from herself.

 

Jupiter Square Chiron

When Jupiter squares Chiron, you may start to question your traditional beliefs. You may feel let down or even betrayed or disillusioned by an important person or institution you believed was morally superior or somehow larger-than-life, elevated and beyond reproach. You may have felt supported or upheld by people or ideas you believed in and that you could aspire towards, but may feel let down instead of inspired as Jupiter squares Chiron. But this can be the time to take your outward projection of greatness and place it back in yourself. If it is your religious or philosophical belief that the spiritual center can only exist outside of yourself, in a leader or ideal, you may find your leaders and ideals are not quite what you believed. The problem is that no one is perfect, we are all subject to human nature and the 3rd dimension, and although we can aspire to divine perfection and we can work to evolve towards that goal, yet we remain human. Forgetting that is what we call hubris, or false pride. Only believing in your goodness may find you disillusioned and projecting all the badness "out there". Yet, despite the endless lies and difficulties, when we can find divine beauty IN and respect for our human condition, true faith can grow.

 

Putting it all Together:

As we have seen from Logan's chart there is a lot of confusion as to which parent she should choose to model herself afterwards as an adult. Jupiter also reinforces that with the fact that her parents created an early family life that didn't show Logan how to relate to others, to herself and how to reach out and open up to others. Since Jupiter is in Pisces Logan has a natural distrust of others based on what she experienced as "normal" growing up. she will also pick others apart so that no one brings out her insecurities. Logan's parents didn't relate to one another or the relating was one-sided so she didn't get to see the concept of trusting others to open up to. In Logan's life there is a barrier that she keeps up that if I had to guess came from her father- when it comes to interactions with others. In the public eye Logan acts just like a Gemini, a persona that hides her true nature- which is that of a nurturing feeler whom cares. If Logan can understand that there are at least 2 sides to her personality (the intellect that she got from her father and the intuitive emotional understanding from her mother) and work with the energies in a more harmonious way she would understand that it is okay to show your feelings both good and bad in an intellectual manner or take the time to understand the feelings that her emotions are giving her in a rational way. That she doesn't have to turn into her mother unless she feels that her mother's positive traits may benefit her as an adult. The same things can be said of Logan's father's influence on her as well. Manipulation of others is never a good thing even though she learned this behavior from her mother. Once Logan is done hiding her true nature and looks at her childhood past, her interactions with her siblings, friends and parents she will be able to start mending the bridge that is her heart so she can stop carrying around all of the dark and negative things to bring them into the light. 

 



Jupiter: Richard's Ruling Planet...

Jupiter: Richard's Ruling Planet

 

The ruling planet is called this because it is the planet that rules over the Ascendant sign. In this case since the Ascendant is in Sagittarius we are going to discuss and cover Jupiter. Might as well start at the beginning and give you a comprehensive amount of information regarding this planet.

 

The energy that Jupiter gives off is that of Faith and growth in all areas of life. It has to do with beliefs, ethics, expansion that leads to faith and joy. Jupiter brings out opportunities and enthusiasm but as a result can make a person filled with excess, over ___ ing anything, and has a hard time stopping. Jupiter also touches on travel, philosophy, religion, the broadening of knowledge and understanding. Anything big or the bigger picture and GOD are all associated with this type of energy.

 

Normally, Jupiter is considered an outer planet which means that it deals with others and the outer world treatment of you and your interaction with it. In fact this is the first outer planet we come into contact with. It is also considered to be a generational planet since it spends a year in each house taking twelve full years to make it back. But given it's placement in Richards chart we will consider it a personal planet because it aspects Mercury, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant making the energy act as if its a personal planet. Jupiter gives us the stepping stones to understand our development and functioning of relating to others helping you to evolve your consciousness.

 

Since Jupiter has such a big pull over Richard in his life let's see how these afflictions came about. Jupiter is the planet of relating. The first person we com into contact with on this level is the mother- for it is she that feeds you when your hungry. Hold you when you need comfort and this is how you learn your survival techniques when dealing with others as a child. Our childhood is suppose to teach us how to deal with others and how to relate to others to create an interpersonal relationship. Some children learn this with flying colors while others can have trouble fitting in. Jupiter is the planet that one looks at when there is an issue with relating to others into adulthood as well as what motivates or what blocks a person from being their best. since this is a very special Jupiter it takes on a different approach: Jupiter describes the beginning of self relating to the outer environment but because of all the aspects to the personal planets it also describes Richard's personal attributes.

 

When Jupiter is afflicted it shows that Richard was born into a family where relating to one another was not well developed. We already know that Mom and dad liked one another at Richard's time of birth but it is clear now that the interactions that he witnessed between mom and dad are the basis for his life as he knows it. Richard didn't see them consider each others needs, or that they didn't listen to one another in his presence. so now when Richard goes to relate to others he is suddenly whisked back to his childhood and has flashbacks of how he should be acting. this may manifest as expressing himself in an nonconstructive way, dilemmas caused by " i want it anyway", relate excessively,over expand, over relate, pursue whims that aren't based off of common sense, no conscious idea of what he wants in life, inability to examine ones own personal needs because he was denied this as a child or never saw his parents doing the same thing.

 

In Richard's case, he needs to be able to relate to the person that he loves with these things in mind.  He must learn how to relate his feelings, thoughts, and personality to someone else if he want more than just a role-playing relationship with someone. Because of this affliction Richard needs to learn to consciously relate to another person.Jupiter symbolises the need to integrate the knowledge we learn into our daily lives keeping the knowledge in perspective. A learned person uses the knowledge to set himself apart, to maintain a position above others and remained untouched by those whom he comes into contact with.      

 

Jupiter in Libra  

Richard's life philosophy has to do with a strong sense of justice and he feels it on a personal level within his one-on -one relationships. It can also come from how Richard views/perceives society. Richard's faith in life rests upon his belief that justice exists. if it doesn't his faith diminishes. Understand that justice is not always seen on the surface level and has to be sought out in order to bring about change in your mind of in a court of law.

 

Jupiter in the 10th house

this placement shows that Richard will become well known for the qualities of faith and enterprise and other personal talents- concerning law, drama, teaching, religion or the military. Being involved with someone or something prestigious  is inevitable. Sometimes with this placement Richard may tend to focus on his work life more than his personal life, home life or inner life. Don't forget honesty and integrity are necessary in performing your duties or disgrace can result if you have too much enthusiasm for publicity, fame and fortune. This stems from your mother's influence concerning your inclination to excel and cut out the outside world.

 

Aspects to Jupiter

Jupiter squaring Mercury

Indicated that Richard was raised in a home where words weren't used well the mood of  the childhood environment was somewhat excessive, and people were hurt by words- they aren't supportive of each other. The family finds communication difficult; family members are more involved with role-playing than relating to others. Because of this Richard went on believing that this attitude s normal as well as the assumption that the relationships are normal when words are difficult. This aspect needs to be confronted and put into a different perspective. Jupiter expands the consciousness, new ideals but it cannot do that if one's own words are not received well. Richard has a hard time with talking openly in a relationship once its started. Richard may not relate honestly, may not listen, not hear what others have to say, and can possibly destroy relationships  by misquoting what he heard. The ability to communicate can be learned if he thinks that its of high enough importance. His excessiveness can be curbed and understood for excessive and angry communication only hurts others.  

 

Jupiter squaring Venus

Venus symbolizes how we appreciate love, our intellectual concept of love, the ind of warm loving relationships we want to have (friendships) the kind of entertainment we prefer, our concept of the perfect love affair, our predilection for comfort, and our appreciation of art objects. Add Jupiter which signifies how we relate- how we open ourselves up to the universe around us and how we relate to those we love. Venus shows us whats in our heads Jupiter describes how we reach out to get it. Venus shows us how the mother image affected the psyche and the concept of the feminine. Since this is a square or a hard aspect Richard tends to be excessive. So he'll fall in love one minute, fall out of love the next minute and then freak out/ overreact in the relationship when there is some nuance that he doesn't understand. Men born with this placement have a slight fear of women due to the fact that his own mother was unpredictable and he may have subconscious memories of her reactions to life that were formed by the time he was 3 years old.  Richard projects this uncertainty onto any women that he meets; may have difficulty taking marriage or relationships seriously. May enter a relationship just so he can play the "daddy" role. Here the relating principle doesn't match the concept of love. When Richard is love he may not be able to relate or appreciate being loved by the person who cares. He has a hard time knowing what's good for him since he can't relate to what he wants. 

 

Jupiter Trine Mars

Mars has a 2 fold manifestation of its life force: symbolizes that kind of actions we take to express our sun sign qualities or it can be used to determine how we act "sexually". When combines with Jupiter we have a psychical interactions with the ability to relate. Since Jupiter shows us how we relate to our own needs and since this is an afflicted aspect we see that he isn't relating and that Richard is overcompensating as a result. This aspect also shows how Richard parents were relating sexually at the time of his childhood and how the family related to actions taken in the household. Since this is a trine aspect the afflictions aren't as apparent. the family atmosphere was that of encouragement and positive constructive action. As a child Richard had someone on his life that encouraged him and showed him through other family interactions that one can relate to what one does and that one can be open about action taken. This is a good indicator that Richard enjoys sex and enjoys loving but it comes at a price.  

 

 

Jupiter conjunct Saturn

Saturn represents how the father may have affected us psychologically during our formative years. It also represents Father time/ or father nature symbolizing how we crystallize our life experience, how we cope with being tested. Since Jupiter shows how we relate together they show how we relate to the changing life cycles, new approaches to each new perspective in life giving us a crystal clear view. This shows that Richard will benefit well from the process of individualization ( the process of becoming self-responsible) Since Saturn has such a limiting effect in general these two aspects together is pretty interesting. Jupiter shows how we open up and Saturn shows us the restrictions placed upon us because of our father's attitude towards us, or our response to his influence. Which shows that Richard has a tendency of opening up and then closing up at the same time. Richard might want to reach out and share a new experience  but be afraid to do so because of an unconscious memory that authority figures or even his father figure didn't like him doing. It can also mean that the father is a restrictive influence when the individual is learning how to relate. maybe the father cannot relate easily either. With a conjunction this indicates that Richard takes relationships seriously, that he may work too hard on developing all the potential in a relationship. or it can indicate a person who takes relationships so seriously that he is afraid of making a commitment, or even starting a relationship at all. Richard may have relationships similar to the type that his father had , and that pattern can be determined by exploring memories of his father's friendship over the years. once the pattern is understood the father's influence will be diminished and Richard will be free to  pursue the kind of relationships he wants to develop for himself.

 

Richard needs to develop a perspective on both how he reaches out to relate as well as understanding the restrictive influence from his father- and both aspects of personality will developed. he cannot relate fully until he takes responsibility for himself.  

 

Jupiter sextile Ascendant

The ascendant indicates how we project our persona; it reflects how we handle our new beginnings. Jupiter shows us how we relate to ourselves to to others and how we relate to our own personal needs. we either understand what we start or we don't.

 

What did we learn from all of this?

After looking at Richards Jupiter Influence it is clear to see that there are some unresolved issues with Richard's childhood namely his ability to relate to others and express himself in a befitting manner. As children we look to our mother and father for verbal and non verbal cues to emulate our parents. Here Richard only saw the role-playing aspect of his parents and never got to experience them together showing a better version of a relationship. If if wasn't for another family member trying to show Richard that there are better ways of going about having relationships with people then Richard might be worse off than he is. Since a lot of Richard's issues are stemming from what he took as a normal mom and dad relationship can all be remedied if he puts forth some effort to re-evaluate his views on how his parents related to one another and how he relates to the people in his life. Richard has to make a conscious effort to not be afraid of sharing emotions in relationships. His tendency to open up and then close himself off is a defencive mechanism that keeps him safe from pain. Also Richard needs to recognize that all of the thoughts. and feelings that he has for his mother and by extension other women are not all fair depictions of femininity. Since both parents highly influenced Richard as a child he needs to understand who he is as his own individual; He keeps looking for the answers within someone else but in fact all of the answers that he needs can be found within himself if only he had the courage to stand on his own 2 feet and let go of past misconceived notions regarding family, love and relationships. Since Richard's head, heart and soul are of an intellectual nature this might be more difficult to achieve. But if he really took the time to calm his fears about his parents, relationships, and his personal view of himself he would find that things will naturally be better for him. Only problem being it is something that he has to do for himself but once he does there will be no stopping him!
