Per my What Does Mars Really Have to do with Men? blog post, Jupiter symbolizes the capacity for expansion, inner and spiritual growth, abundance, prosperity and good luck. How a person gains wisdom through formal/higher learning and life experiences and how they determine a meaningful life for themselves and prefer to spend their leisure time. Some astrologers think it is related to karmic values and beliefs also. Per Cafe Astrology, where you can go to get your own birth chart, it says Jupiter represents expansion and grace.
According to my natal/birth chart from Café Astrology my Jupiter is in Taurus and this is the description the report provides:
She attracts the most good fortune when she is charitable, generous but discriminating, and patient. Should watch for over-indulgence. She delights in sensual pleasures and wants the good life.
This one is difficult for me to analyze because I can’t recall of moments in my past where I’ve had good luck, abundance or prosperity when I’ve been charitable, generous but discriminating or patient. I’m not quite clear on what it even means with “generous but discriminating”. The only thing that comes to mind, since I have been trying to give more monetary donations this 2022 year is that I have been particular about which organizations I support. I am much more focused on animal related groups than other types of causes as that is the area I have the softest spot for. As for the second half of that description, I do have a tendency to be over-indulgent when it comes to physical pleasures and trying to live a good luxurious life for myself, which can also be attributed to my Taurus Moon Sign that is detailed further in that post. This is not the first time, and I already know not going to be last (yes, this is a teaser that there are more aspects of my birth chart that goes into this) where I receive a warning about this characteristic that I am prone to. I do find it challenging to deviate from this mindset and behavior since I have always put so much emphasis on feeling stable from a financial and home aspect based on my own definitions of what is stable, which is all about high quality brands and products. I am very much aware that many would look at my finances and home and think I am already living the life of luxury, but from my perspective I see so much more potential to be living in true opulence, affluence and prestige because my dreams are rather magnificent and grand. I recognize that it is difficult for me to genuinely appreciate what I already have because I want more!
As indicated in my What Does Mars Really Have to do with Men? post, I will also go over another person’s chart, referred to as Kali, who is born on the same month and day as I was, but different year and location to offer a comparison of how two people with the same birth day, can be vastly different despite both being Scorpios. According to Kali’s natal/birth chart from Café Astrology her Jupiter is in Gemini and this is the description the report provides:
She attracts the most good fortune when she uses her wit and ingeniousness, as well as when she is versatile, sociable, curious, and puts others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity. She values the intellect and sees opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written channels. She believes that intelligence and knowledge is the key to solving problems.
Per Cafe Astrology, our charts both indicate we both have a Trine between Jupiter and Ascendant and here is our common description for that:
She likes meeting friends, enjoying a good meal and cordial atmospheres. She is pleasant, jovial, and engaging.
I can get behind this description of myself without any issue. When I am in a sociable mood, I seek out the companionship of friends, usually those I am closest to, and very often, I try to do it over a meal where we are enjoying good food and in a warm and sincere environment. And despite my inner negative based turmoil, when I am around friends, I strive to act the opposite of what is deep down so that I am cheerful and attentive so that they find me enjoyable to spend time with. Since I have been letting more of my true self come to the surface, being more open with others as I evolve myself during my current spiritual journey, I’ve heard more than one person react with shock when I say I am an extremely negative person. It is in those moments that it hits me exactly how much I have been repressing my true thoughts and emotions and striving to portray a different side of me based on what I think would be more acceptable to others. That realization makes me sad that I have been so inauthentic and disingenuous with myself, especially knowing that a lot of people probably wouldn’t want to hang out with me if I they heard my constant complaints, fears and doubts that is going through my head, but only not spoken out loud, because who wants to be with a negative person?
Because the description from Café Astrology for this planet was so extremely brief, I feel unsatisfied with what I learned here and would like, at some point in the future, to do more further research on this part of my natal chart to see if I can learn more.
