JUPITER

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and has its own cosmos of moons orbiting. It represents the drive for insight on an intellectual, philosophical and religious level. It is said to bring great good fortune, and its influence is to expand the effect of everything it comes into contact with. Jupiter has to do with the law and moral authority, and our attitude to these issues. It brings a strong desire for understanding and the tendency to have powerful opinions and convictions.

Jupiter-Aries

You were born in a year of tremendous dynamism and pioneer activity. This gives you personally the potential and courage to initiate dramatic new circumstances in your life when necessary. This may manifest itself as an impatience with the status quo and a constant need to explore new horizons. Independence and challenge will be important values for you because you can feel more yourself, and more in connection with something greater than yourself, when you overcome obstacles and embark on daring projects. You like learning by doing, and you need to taste the spirit of adventure to feel truly alive. When expressing your opinions you tend to be forceful and impatient, and you will rarely admit that you can be wrong. Old ideas bore you - truth for you is based on your own experience.

1ST HOUSE INFLUENCE You will have considerable influence on others through your opinions. At best you can really expand the vision and understanding of others, but at worst you can be rather intellectually dominating. You like to embrace broad views and have little time for triviality - though plenty of time for humor. You enjoy life and know when not to take things too seriously. Other people can feel small or even ignorant in your presence - make allowances for this. You have deep convictions on a religious, political or philosophical level and probably enjoy a good discussion. Generally you display a great appetite for life, are willing to take a gamble and often ride to success on your unshakeable faith in a benevolent future.

Jupiter-Taurus

You were born in a year where there was a strong focus on the material resources of the world, and the consequences of and possibilities for growth. As such you have the ability to create the circumstances necessary for growth, and enjoy the material benefits of the Earth. By cultivating your ability to experience deep satisfaction - especially of a sensuous nature - you endow the things you touch with intrinsic value. You have strong and perhaps rather old-fashioned convictions and cling to them stubbornly. You may have a particular gift for tuning in to the body, and tapping the energy which lies within it. This can enrich your life both physically and sexually. Because you have a weakness for the good things in life, there may however be a tendency to overindulge yourself.

2ND HOUSE INFLUENCE Unless other compelling factors prevent this, you will enjoy a very good standard of living. Paradoxically material luxuries will not be of primary importance for you, they just follow in the wake of your generous disposition. You place greater value on self-development and understanding than on material gain, and it is the resultant expertise which brings you rewards. You have remarkably strong moral values and convictions which will manifest in philosophical or political opinions which you stick to through thick and thin. You have a strong sense of ethics, and other factors in your horoscope will indicate whether this is expressed in a tolerant or moralizing way.

Jupiter-Gemini

Because you have a wide spread of interests you may lack the capacity to concentrate on one subject for any length of time. You get easily distracted and seem to want to occupy your mind all the time and have an opinion about everything. Perhaps you need to discriminate between what is useful to know, and what isn't. Your talents lie more in understanding the actual workings of the mind, and you can contribute to personal success by learning and applying mental techniques. When you harness this influence positively you can be a veritable encyclopedia of information. What is more, you may have a particular talent for humor, and can be at your best when exchanging pleasantries socially.

3RD HOUSE INFLUENCE You experienced considerable mental stimulation as a child, and a family member or teacher will have played an important role - perhaps as a mentor - encouraging you to learn and ask questions about life. Mental Ping-Pong at an early age will have evoked extremely strong mental convictions in you, making you a very persuasive person. You are probably knowledgeable and interesting to listen to, but you may be opinionated and dominating in an innocent kind of way. To be truly wise, one must also be receptive to other people's ideas. In relationships you respect intelligence and demand mental equality. You have little time for superficiality and are always seeking profundity. You find meaning in the small things in life.

Jupiter-Cancer

You will feel this influence on a personal level as a great welling up of intense personal emotion, and this emotion is particularly stimulated as far as intimate loyalties are concerned. You have a need to create strong bonds, and the emotional capacity to build up family structure across the generation gap. In many ways your values are traditional and conventional, and they are founded on strong moral convictions about what is right and what is wrong.

4TH HOUSE INFLUENCE Generally speaking you have had a fortunate upbringing, perhaps growing up in an international environment, or in a large family or a large house. A stimulating intellectual or philosophical atmosphere at home will have provided you with a solid emotional ballast later on in life. Your father, who probably had strong convictions, may have played a strong role in shaping your opinions. You may have found family members rather dominating on an intellectual or moral level, but this has a good effect on you in the long term. You too will have powerful moral convictions in family matters. You like to live in a large house and may at some time reside abroad.

Jupiter-Leo

Making a favorable impression is very important for you, and you are good at it. When you channel this planetary influence you will radiate a natural confidence and charisma. You appreciate the luxuries of life and have a taste for quality items. You are a gambler by nature, and you believe in endless expansion. As you have a tendency to overestimate yourself it is important for you to cultivate the capacity to quit while the going is good. You are also concerned about gaining insight into your identity, and this may incline you towards self-development, though you hate to subordinate yourself to anyone else in this process. You have strong personal convictions, and your identity is very tied up with them, making it difficult for you to show flexibility or admit mistakes. You can have considerable influence on the ideas of those who surround you.

5TH HOUSE INFLUENCE A happy and expansive childhood has laid the foundation for a trusting attitude in life. You have faith in yourself and this gives you a surplus of energy and enthusiasm to enrich the lives of others. You have strong appetites - also sexually and romantically - and this may lead to too much indulgence in your life. But in general you have charisma and charm, bringing a spark of joy to the people who you choose to be with. You have the capacity and energy to have a large family, although you will also need to express your creative energy in many areas. You may be motivated by the urge to explore personal boundaries through sport or travel.

Jupiter-Virgo

At the time of your birth there was a collective theme concerning national health issues, international rescue and aid actions, refugees, and employment conditions. You too will be motivated by the desire and ability to be of help to other people, so in personal relationships you are often on hand to share the burden. You may be over-helpful however, and this can mean you simply get submerged in duties. There is also a strong perfectionism, which can mean that you get bogged down in specific tasks. You may have a particularly gifted insight into matters of health and healing, perhaps because of your own sensitivity in this area. Awareness and understanding of environmental influences on health and well-being will contribute to this insight, and you may have strong opinions about how to rectify faults in these areas.

6TH HOUSE INFLUENCE Other things being equal, you are a kind and helpful person, and you know how to get the best out of everyday life in a relationship. You are efficient when working but at the same time you know how to create time to relax and enjoy life. Where other people often get weighed down by daily tasks, you find enjoyment in them and even gain insight into larger issues through daily rituals. You are magnanimous in offering help and caring when you encounter people in need. You may have a special talent for health matters, and you are specifically good at harnessing the power of positive thinking to benefit the mind and body.

Jupiter-Libra

You were born at a time of increased international diplomacy. Nationally the spotlight was on cultural and aesthetic issues. And on a general level it was a time of positive new trends in human relationships. You are inclined to build up a wide network of social connections and benefit from the goodwill of influential friends. With this influence in your horoscope, you have the capacity to be superior judge of issues, cultivating values of impartiality and fairness. Your personal fascination with the ideal relationship can mean, however, that as far as romance is concerned your judgment is not always so wise! Love affairs can lead you astray. Generally though, your talents incline you towards very rewarding relationships because you are always willing to view matters from the point of view of your partner and compromise when necessary. However you will not compromise when you feel that an injustice is being done - on matters of right and wrong you have strong convictions.

7TH HOUSE INFLUENCE Other things being equal you have a very fortunate fate in relationships. Marriage will often bring social and material advancement for you, and you are usually lucky in finding a person who helps you and has your best interests at heart. The most important asset a partner can possess in your eyes is an intelligent and cultured manner. A wise partner imbues your life with meaning and expands your philosophical horizons. You are stimulated by a good discussion, but must take care that you do not fall out with your partner on foolish matters of principle. Differing opinions tend to sabotage your harmony. Your partner may have special political or religious interests, or may come from another country. You can have great pleasure from traveling together and cultivating your shared cultural interests.

Jupiter-Scorpio

You have a deep and intense emotional nature with powerful, though often secret, convictions. At some point in your life your beliefs will undergo a radical transformation in which you abandon old belief systems. Even when silent you tend to exude a powerful influence on those around you because of the strength of your beliefs. It is wise therefore not to be too forceful outwardly, but to reach inwards into the burning ground of your emotions. Possessiveness, sexual desire, ideological obsessions and other powerful emotional drives can exert a strong influence on you, until the time comes when you eliminate the hold they have. When this time comes you develop even more insight into the secret nature of the human mind and emotions.

8TH HOUSE INFLUENCE You can have a rich and rewarding emotional life. Not being satisfied with any superficial relationships, you have a hunger for intimacy and a deep understanding of the emotional motivations of your partner. You are both curious and talented as regards gaining access to the feelings of others, and you have the capacity for explaining hidden psychological factors. You may have a tendency to tout your own opinions and beliefs in a rather dominating way though. Stubborn insistence on matters of principle or conviction can easily sabotage emotional harmony. When you look back on your life you will notice that you have totally changed your own convictions at least once, so why let them become an issue in relationships? In a good relationship there should be plenty of space for a divergence of opinion.

Jupiter-Sagittarius

On the world stage at the time of your birth, there was a dramatic expansion both as regards mental visions, and in terms of exploration of horizons. You personally will also feel a burning desire to expand your boundaries. This will manifest as both an interest in foreign connections and as intellectual curiosity. If you can learn to trust your hunches, you may discover a prophetic vision which can be used in many areas of your life. You have a burning desire to acquire knowledge, and through knowledge get understanding. You need very little stimulation to make your opinions known, and you may have to guard against a tendency to pontificate. Though harmless, your know-it-all attitude can make other people feel inadequate.

9TH HOUSE INFLUENCE You have been endowed with considerable natural wisdom and the capacity to understand the significance of your life. Your upbringing will have been influenced by strong parental convictions, and this has stimulated you to work things out for yourself and develop your own understanding of the world. Powerful religious, political or philosophical beliefs shape your life. You are extremely persuasive in your beliefs, but you should bear in mind that other people may find you rather dominating. It is important for you to listen to the world view of other people if you want to avoid becoming bigoted. You may be profoundly influenced by a mentor or guru-figure from a foreign land.

Jupiter-Capricorn

You have integrated strong moral principles from your early relationship to society, owing to exposure to somewhat restrictive or conservative values about human behavior. There may for example have been a strong disciplinary element in connection with training and education for you, or perhaps you were influenced by someone with an exceptionally strong morality. Whatever the circumstances, you have strong principles now, which drive you to work hard and take responsibility. You believe in the work ethic, and only expect to receive what you have worked for. Thus your life takes on rather a somber tone as you struggle to get ahead. Remember the principle of abundance - ask and you shall receive. In personal relationships it is important for you to cultivate a more tolerant attitude, as you have a tendency to moralize and be restrictive. Spiritually you advance through ascetic self-discipline.

10TH HOUSE INFLUENCE You were probably fortunate to have a parent who encouraged you strongly to reach out and attain your dreams in life. From this springs a natural confidence in your abilities to get ahead, and a general trust in the world. With success comes influence and a belief in the validity of your views on life. You have to take care not to be too dominating when broadcasting these views in your personal life. Your predisposition for achieving success means that you should be able to guarantee security in partnership matters, and bring the possibility of advancement and higher status to a relationship.

Jupiter-Aquarius

The year of your birth was infused with excitement and leaps of human consciousness. You have the capacity to realize the spirit of this time by embracing humanitarian principles and breaking down the boundaries that separate you from your fellow men. You are a socially-oriented person inspired by very powerful ideals. At worst you can be provocative and opinionated, at best you espouse a faith in the principles of equality and fairness. You are destined to awaken other people on a large scale or be inspired by those who do. You have extremely powerful, though rather untraditional convictions. Your beliefs are unshakeable, but you have enough respect not to foist them on other people. Indeed, you believe in the freedom of individuals to follow their own convictions. You are likely to build up a large circle of friends in many different countries during the course of your life.

11TH HOUSE INFLUENCE Great benefits come to you through the kind guidance of good friends. A particular person or a particular group can have a considerable influence on your intellectual development. You cultivate the best contacts and other people may experience you as rather elitist or snobbish because of the people you choose to spend your time with. From your point of view, mixing with successful or cultured people is essential for your own development. Their good fortune rubs off on you. You too will in turn be able to benefit other people through your own insight or knowledge - particularly if you work with groups in some way. You can attain an influential position in society thanks you your social vision or ideals about the future.

Jupiter-Pisces

You were born at a time of concern and compassion in world affairs. This means you have access to a wealth of deep emotions in your own life which inspire you to tune into the spirit of other people. This can manifest as an outer concern or devotion, or an inner need to expand the personal realms of your imagination. You identify very strongly with the confusion that manifests in world affairs, and you may feel the need to embrace some spiritual concepts to give your life an inner foundation. You have a deep spiritual nature, though you may find difficulty accessing it because of everyday chores. There is an inner longing for peace and tranquility which can be periodically fulfilled by withdrawing from society, or enjoying nature, or listening to music or watching movies. You would like to see the world as a wonderland, but are too often confronted with its unhappiness.

12TH HOUSE INFLUENCE Some of the most rewarding experiences in your life come from the spiritual or creative insights that you are blessed with from time to time. For you the inner world of the imagination is richly populated with beneficent influences. It is obvious to you that faith can move mountains, and you can receive great benefits by drawing on your capacity to use this knowledge. Mobilization of your capacity for positive thinking can bring you success, but your personal values are more spiritual than material. Perhaps you already have a strong religious faith, perhaps you are still on a spiritual journey to find meaning in life. The teachings you receive will enable you to greatly enrich the lives of others who are in spiritual distress. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that you do not foist your own opinions and convictions on others.
