I've got a bunch of Jupiter stuff going right now. Any insights from you all?

[davsand]

So, I've had (and continue to have) a fair amount of Jupiter stuff happening in my chart these days with Jupiter square Uranus (ended 4/21), Jupiter sextile Mars (ended 4/23) and Jupiter trine Saturn from April 19 until April 28. Nothing terribly negative or positive happening for me, personally, and some new possibilities for extra cash hanging out there...

What say all you Astrologers out there? Did I miss an opportunity just now, or was this just a fairly neutral set of conjunctions?

Thanks for any insights you might care to offer!

1. I have found that Jupiter is extremely over-rated

it is doing "nice" things in your 11th, but the exact conj. with your Sun was months ago. It will seem to make things favorable with friends and organizations. One "problem" with Jup and Taurus is that their natures are exact opposite; Taurus likes to look down and be happy with stability and being grounded with Jupiter is obsessed with expansion. Many Jupiter changes are internal.

It's reputation for "extra money" etc. it totally overblown and really is more about self-worth being ok, I think.

You've missed no opportunity. With all of the EXTREME pressure that Pluto is putting on your descendent, it's almost impossible to notice Jupiter unless it's been exact. Probably, Jupiter has been smoothing out some of the rough edges that PL could have delivered.
It's all good.

6. Things have been mostly good.

Money is tight right now, but everybody is facing that these days. The economy sucks and hubby is at 1/2 time with no real certainty of a return to more hours in the next few months. We are coping, but it has been a fairly restricted budget.

I know that Pluto transit in the 7th is the "domestic" house, but it seems like the biggest shake-ups happening right now are in my office life with my workmates. Looks increasingly like out of our three person office two of them will be leaving involuntarily in the next few months (June or July.) I am still planning to run for office in early Feb, so I'm feeling pretty much stuck in place until then. Much hub-bub and anger floating around with elements of personal betrayal entering into it. It is awful to watch because I am observing a friendship of 35 years melt down, and its certainly tense to be around, but for now, my work is not threatened.

I dunno. I am hard pressed to see anything other than the work stuff that is off kilter...



Maybe that Pluto transit is at work someplace I'm not seeing.

2. For me, a Jupiter transit has to be pretty "potent" to be significant.

Examples--Jupiter Return, which was great...for a couple of months, Jupiter conjunct Moon, which was nice for a few weeks, Jupiter conjunct the Ascendant, which probably promoted growth and self-awareness, and Jupiter's last opposition to my natal Moon which, ouch. Very disruptive (huge emotional and egoistic need to expand...read: spend.)

Jupiter's conjunctions to personal planets tend to have the most impact, with the occasional Jupiter conjunction to an outer planet being noticeable. Otherwise, just a nice sheen of goodwill overshadowing things. They 'feel' better than they 'do.'

But I understand why you'd want to use them effectively. I've found that pretty tough to do, personally. So I'm with Rick--focus on Pluto/7th.

4. BI has it right on

I think. That's how I experience it.

3. My personal experience when Jupiter is exerting strong influence in my chart

has been more on the negative side. Perhaps it just gives too much energy for my feeble being to handle. On the other hand, Saturn is much easier for me to handle. Always felt having Saturn in my 1st house might give me a better insight into it on a personal level, making me more comfortable w/it.
But then again, I'm weird in so many ways.......

Hoping Jupiter is the great benefactor for you, tho!

5. I believe

that your natal Saturn is soooo strong, that when Jupiter comes along, it draws such opposition in natures from Jupiter.
Jupiter should not cause you discomfort, I don't think.
