Jupiter
is a planet of expansion and of good
luck. Jupiter is associated with the ninth house.
It is associated with matters such as religion, philosophy
and higher education. Success can also be derived
from good aspect patterns with Jupiter. Jupiter is
also said to be in the picture at the time of death.
This generally shows a good passing on the part of
the native who is dying. Jupiter is associated with
trips and travel, and foreign travel in particular
is said to be the domain of Jupiter.
An
astrologer always looks to Jupiter for good luck as
well as good fortune. Money can be made during good
Jupiter aspects, but there can be too much of a good
thing. Venus in square to Jupiter is said to make
someone spend more money than they have. When Jupiter
is influencing things, there can also be a tendency
to be too cavalier and thus stretch one's resources
too far. This can happen when we expect our luck to
be good and that things will just happen our way.
Even with the best Jupiter aspects, you have opportunity,
but you have to take that opportunity in order for
you to benefit from these aspects. A
person tends to feel so good with Jupiter aspects
there can be a tendency toward laziness. There may
also be a tendancy to eat or drink too much while
under the aspect of Jupiter, so Jupiter is lucky,
but it is also a matter of how you make your luck.
If
Jupiter is not well aspected in the Natal chart, it
is more likely you will experience these “over
doing it” tendencies of Jupiter. I for one do
not like Jupiter too close to my Ascendant as the
common manifestation for either will be spending too
much money or picking up unwanted weight.
Jupiter is said to be exalted in Pisces. It rules
the sign of Sagittarius. It is in its fall in Scorpio
where it is weakened. This is no doubt, due to the
intensity of the sign of Scorpio, that the intensity
is not compatible with the energy of expansive Jupiter.
Jupiter is also the old ruler of Pisces where it co-ruled
with Sagittarius; this was prior to discovery of Neptune.
So Jupiter is also strong in Pisces, where it’s
expansive quality can be used creating greater intuition,
or inspiration. The dreamy qualities of Pisces, along
with the sensitivity associated with this sign, all
provide excellent concepts which when applied to Jupiter,
can be even greater and stronger.
