HERE<\/a> for part One.<\/em><\/p>\nWe don\u2019t pay a lot of attention to Jupiter, and what we do understand of him is often misunderstood.\u00a0 Far from the jolly airbag (if you\u2019re listening to him speak) or the jolly firebag (if he\u2019s persuading you to do something foolish or inspired), in the grand scheme of things Jupiter has an important job to do.\u00a0 He is helping you process your experience into wisdom.\u00a0 Wherever Jupiter is placed in your chart, he is your own personal guru, and the house he is placed in provides the realm of experience which will cause you to sit up and take notice, to learn.<\/p>\n
As I\u2019ve explained in part One, Jupiter is Mercury\u2019s companion in the mutable cross, each ruling two signs.\u00a0 The journey of the mutable cross is one where information becomes knowledge becomes wisdom becomes understanding\/universal truth.\u00a0 The journey from Gemini to Pisces.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t an accident that Jupiter is associated mostly with the 9th<\/sup> house and the 9th<\/sup> sign.\u00a0 We tend to associate Jupiter with the happy go lucky Sag, and forget about the Sage.\u00a0 Sagittarius, at its best, is about the pursuit of meaning.\u00a0 It\u2019s travelling truth is not about wanderlust for its own sake, but for the exploring we must do, into unfamiliar territory, in order to broaden our internal horizons.\u00a0 The third house is about staying within our neighborhood.\u00a0 The ninth sends us travelling as far as we can.\u00a0 Once we have travelled and consolidated our wisdom, it becomes the compassion and understanding in the 12th<\/sup>\/Pisces.<\/p>\nIn our natal charts, Jupiter represents our higher Mind, our instinct.\u00a0 It tells us how we dream and what we dream about, particularly if the ninth house is untenanted.\u00a0 Most important of all, it shows us where we need to go, how we need to expand, what experiences we need to have, in order to grow into our wisdom.\u00a0 Aspects to Jupiter support the journey.\u00a0I think that people often pay so much attention to Saturn that they ignore Jupiter as a source.\u00a0 Saturn is all about our hard-core experience on the Earth, it represents what we must do.\u00a0 But we are not all about doing, and Jupiter represents what we must learn in both intellectual and instinctive terms.\u00a0 What have we gathered from what has happened to us?\u00a0 On the one hand, yes, Saturn must prick any overblown illusion bubble Jupiter has created, but it is also Saturn\u2019s duty to take Jupiter\u2019s hard earned understanding and create something of it.\u00a0 Saturn without Jupiter is a very sad Saturn indeed.<\/p>\n
If we think of our own personal Jupiter as a vehicle for wisdom, we will get a lot more from his position in our charts. \u00a0Also, if we realize that Jupiter is where we can be neglectful and blinded to our own actions (aka:\u00a0 Lazy), then Saturn\u2019s task is so much easier.\u00a0 Until we fully understand Jupiter\u2019s role, his placement can tell us where we let things slide.\u00a0 With any Jupiter position, there is a great danger of leading an ‘unexamined’ life via the natal sign and house–we shrug our shoulders.\u00a0 We assume, we over-reach, and we can fail until we know ourselves better.\u00a0 Rather than desiring escape, we must confront our limitations and vow to correct them. This is the point where mere understanding becomes wisdom.<\/p>\n
A Short Description of Jupiter the Seeker in the first six Houses:<\/strong><\/p>\nJupiter in the First:<\/strong>\u00a0 Wisdom comes via the experience of self-identification and self-actualization.\u00a0 This process is often hit and miss, because my sense of myself can be inflated.\u00a0 I may have a difficult time relating to others and therefore never see the way my actions\/intentions are reflected in the world.\u00a0 I often do not or cannot see myself as others see me.\u00a0 After a time I learn the truth of myself and my place within the scheme of things, and am able to understand how a strong sense of being contributes to the whole.<\/p>\nJupiter in the Second:<\/strong>\u00a0 Often a generous spirit well-liked by others, Jupiter in the second can take a mis-step when it confuses inner and outer resources.\u00a0 When Jupiter is in the second, the emphasis needs to be put on \u2018what do I have to give and where should I focus it to be of the greatest use?\u2019 Jupiter here must learn what it means to distribute personal resources without depleting the essential core.<\/em>\u00a0 Experience centers around the uses and abuses of resources.\u00a0 Jupiter in the second eventually develops a value system by which all of its actions can be judged.<\/p>\nJupiter in the Third:\u00a0<\/strong> Often has talent for learning, speaking and making connections, and often has a far-ranging outlook and imagination, unsullied by the ordinariness of daily life.\u00a0 The difficulties of this placement can be an exaggerated \u2018don\u2019t fence me in\u2019 approach that relinquishes day to day responsibility.\u00a0 Sometimes there is an exaggerated need to teach, talk or to explain, to become the local blowhard everyone avoids.\u00a0 Jupiter here must learn that all pies cannot be in the sky, that the ordinary world is a sacred thing.\u00a0 Meaning comes most readily when we \u2018get real.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 Jupiter here often tries to escape ordinary things, feeling that they are a vehicle for entrapment.\u00a0 Wisdom comes from understanding that there is much to be learned from the day to day world if we accept things as they are.<\/p>\nJupiter in the Fourth:\u00a0<\/strong> Can be lucky in the family environment and the sense of having roots.\u00a0 However, there can also be jingoism and mindless flag waving over things like Mom, home, country and apple pie. There is a real danger of assuming everything is okay in the deepest parts of the psyche when clearly they are not.\u00a0 There may be excessive dependence on the family structure and\/or a tendency to lord it over others in the family.\u00a0 Sometimes, these people are their parent\u2019s teachers.\u00a0 Wisdom comes when the inner world is discovered and explored.\u00a0 It is different from Jupiter in the third in that the \u2018seat\u2019 of wisdom is not\u00a0 the mind, but the psyche.\u00a0 By gathering psychological wisdom and understanding, we live at the font of our deepest being, the seat of our own power.<\/p>\nJupiter in the Fifth:<\/strong>\u00a0 If often the happy-go-lucky Jupiter, optimistic planet in the fire house.\u00a0 There can be a plethora of love affairs, creative inspiration, a desire to spread the seed around.\u00a0 Jupiter in the fifth wants and needs inspiration, expects life to be a celebration, and desires everything to be larger than life.\u00a0 In contrast to the first house Jupiter, issues are not about the Self\/identity\u00a0 but of what the ‘I’ creates.\u00a0 There can be a real sense of laissez-faire and of \u201cIt\u2019s good to be King,\u201d due to the Leo fire\/fire association. Jupiter can become our representative of what is god-like, for good or not so good.\u00a0 (This also happens, in a different way, in the natal 12th<\/sup> house.)\u00a0 It can also represent where we <\/em>feel we are godlike.\u00a0 Such inflation is part and parcel of the 5th<\/sup> house.\u00a0 The problem of Jupiter in this house is the inflation of the ego and what it is capable of accomplishing.\u00a0 Wisdom comes from realizing that one cannot function as an independent entity: creative acts need to be shared and nurtured.\u00a0 Jupiter here learns that it isn\u2019t the ego that creates, that it must open itself as a vessel to higher wisdom.\u00a0 There may also be issues with children and understanding that one is responsible for what one has created. \u00a0Wisdom may come through leadership, and understanding that leadership means being responsible for the welfare of the group.<\/p>\nJupiter in the Sixth:<\/strong><\/p>\nJupiter in the sixth is in a tricky house–the planet of expansion in the house of Virgo? \u00a0And yet Virgo is the perfect antidote to Jupiter’s overblown ways and expectations. \u00a0Jupiter in the sixth, initially, can go too far in all things in daily life. \u00a0The sixth house is a house of balance, it’s where we sort ourselves out before we can move forward and connect with others in a true sense. \u00a0Jupiter in the sixth can over do it, can assume it can accomplish more than it is capable of. \u00a0Jupiter here can also be the employee who fiddles her resume or the politician full of promises. \u00a0There may be issues because of a tendency to over-do. \u00a0Physically, there may be health issues (weight, drug dependency, etc.); emotionally, a tendency to a lack of realism (optimism and then its reverse, despair). There can be workaholic inclinations or a desire to avoid work entirely. Spiritually, there may be what Rinpoche Trungpa called, “spiritual materialism,” an egotistic desire to be the most spiritual person in one’s circle. Wisdom comes from learning the value of balance, and of doing the work necessary before launching into the next project, plan or scheme. \u00a0It is necessary to have a realistic view of what can be accomplished. The idea of service must permeate daily life, the need to care for those who cannot care for themselves.<\/p>\n
