Jupiter Sign Interpretations

With Jupiter in Aries, your upbringing has taught you that in order to develop
your personal potential to the full, you should seek out your own path towards
self-fulfilment, rather than rely upon others to show you the way.  This is so
because powerful unconscious forces spur you on to make the most of your self.
As far as developing your personal philosophy of life is concerned, you are
therefore somewhat of an individualist, requiring considerable scope to find
things out for yourself.  Once you have chosen your personal system of beliefs
you will fight strongly to express them, though feedback from others may result
in your modifying them in the light of new experience.  Ideally you need to
find some area of interest in which you feel you are an expert, for that way
you will develop your self-confidence, even if you feel the need to continually
update and refine your ideas from time to time.  You are interested in travel
if you believe it will further your understanding.  While you are prone to take
chances when you see opportunities for personal growth, this should not be ex-
aggerated to the extent that you take unnecessary risks in your activities.

With Jupiter in Taurus, your upbringing has taught you that in order to develop
your personal potential to the full, you should develop a stable foundation for
your life by discovering those things in life which you can depend upon.  This
is so because unconscious security needs influence your pattern of personal
growth.  As far as developing your personal philosophy of life is concerned,
you are therefore concerned with developing confidence in the predictablity
and safeness of your surroundings.  You are therefore likely to place a high
value on material well-being, seeking financial security and a home in which
you can feel secure.  You require tangible reminders that your world is all
right, and you may therefore value posessions and physical demonstrations of
affection as concrete affirmation of your self-worth.  If you feel secure,
you will be able to provide practical support and comfort to others, and en-
courage them to develop faith in the world, but if you feel insecure, you
are likely to be overly attached to people and posessions, showing stubborn
qualities and strong resistance to change in your circumstances.

With Jupiter in Gemini, your upbringing has taught you that in order to develop
your personal potential to the full, you should gain as much understanding as
possible of the world around you through asking questions and finding answers
to them, so that you can develop a philosophy of life which is broadly based
and which can then be applied to your own growth needs.  This rather round
about approach to gaining self-knowledge stems from the fact that your drive
towards self-fulfilment is influenced by unconscious thought processes which
fuel your curiosity and thirst for more knowledge.  You want to develop con-
fidence in yourself through pride in your ability to see many aspects of a
situation, and to act in a versatile and adaptable way.  While you may disc-
over a great deal about the world and yourself with this approach, the pro-
cess is primarily intellectual.  This does not matter, unless you become so
wrapped up in your search for objective understanding of the world that you
lose sight of the more mundane or emotional aspects of human existence, which
cannot be tied down according to any theoretical system, however brilliant.

With Jupiter in Cancer, your upbringing has taught you that in order to develop
your personal potential to the full, you should become thoroughly involved with
the world and with other people at an emotional level.  Feeling loved and app-
reciated are important to you, for your pattern of growth is strongly influen-
ced by unconscious emotional factors.  In developing your philosophy of life,
emotional factors are far more important than any practical or theoretical
considerations, and just as you want to feel secure yourself, you will be-
lieve that it is right to help others to feel emotionally secure and loved.
You have a healthy respect for the past, for much of your inspiration in the
present arises in connection with memories of analogous situations.  You are
likely to keep reminders of the past around you, as an aid to rearousing past
feeling states.  It is important that you had a secure childhood, for this
part of your life will always be important to you.  If you were unhappy as a
child, you may be tempted to look out for people to lean on, but you would do
far better to develop greater emotional security through your own actions.

With Jupiter in Leo, your upbringing has taught you that in order to develop
your personal potential to the full, you should keep your eyes open for any
opportunity which may allow you to be noticed and recognised as a true indiv-
idual in your own right.  The value of your philosophy of life depends upon
the amount of value you place upon yourself, and you will therefore seek to
act in a way which leads to your feeling that you are a worth-while person.
You are therefore likely to want to take a personal and leading role in your
activities which are directed towards long-term growth, and you will not hes-
itate to show your beliefs to others, for you hope that they will agree with
your noble aims and give you the positive feedback which increases your sense
of self-worth.  You can go a long way towards discovering your true path in
life, but if you have a fault, it is that you tend to believe that what phil-
osophy is true for you must be true for everyone: this is not the case how-
ever, and you should be careful not to use excessive power in order to pers-
uade other people round to your way of thinking over any unimportant issues.

With Jupiter in Virgo, your upbringing has taught you that in order to develop
your personal potential to the full, you should involve yourself with acting
sensibly in any situation.  You feel encouraged to build up a philosophy of
life which is based upon practical experience, and you believe in trying to
elicit the facts contained within a body of knowledge before arriving at a
definite conclusion.  With your dedication to assimilating the details of a
situation, you are capable of developing fine powers of discrimination, and
excellent critical faculties.  However useful this may be, it is important
that you use your abilities in the context of a broader setting, otherwise
there is a risk that you will treat situations solely according to appear-
ances without giving due concern to the context within which they arise.
This can give rise to excessive worry over details and a tendency to eval-
uate matters hastily without considering the deeper emotional and theoret-
ical implications which are nevertheless important also.  You need to find
more faith in providence, as well as relying on your fine logical mind.

With Jupiter in Libra, your upbringing has taught you that in order to develop
your personal potential to the full, you should involve yourself with under-
standing the objective world in which you live as far as is possible.  You
consider that in order to formulate a judgement on any important issue you
need to hear arguments on all sides of the arena, and you will not reject
ideas readily, however outrageouus they may appear to be.  You therefore
feel that it is important for you to have a wide range of friends and acqu-
aintances so that you will have as much information as is possible to go on
before you make up your mind on any specific issue.  This attitude will cer-
tainly give you a very wide basis from which to develop your personal philo-
sophy of life, and you will probably enjoy engaging with other people in or-
der to learn more about the nature of the world in which you live.  However,
there is a risk that you will feel unwilling to commit yourself to any spe-
cific cause too readily, and othrer people may feel that you are too inclined
to play the field rather than to commit yourself personally to them.

With Jupiter in Scorpio, your upbringing has taught you that in order to dev-
elop your personal potential to the full, you should involve yourself with
understanding the world at an emotional level.  This means that when you are
developing your personal philosophy of life, you will pay considerable att-
ention to how people tick, and to how you can make the most out of any sit-
uation.  You believe that it is important for you to get to grips with your
own and other peoples's feelings, and that you should capitalise on your
knowledge to make the most of your understanding.  You have an intuitive
ability to understand what other people are up to, and you may have rather
large-scale plans for yourself.  You will not shrink from involving yourself
with matters that appear complicated to other people, provided that you have
a clear idea of your purpose in life, which may be highly subjective.  Never-
theless, you should ensure that your personal aims in life are not too sub-
jectively orientated, for you would benefit from a more detached approach to
understanding human experience in addition to your highly personal commitment.

With Jupiter in Sagittarius, your upbringing has impressed upon you that in
order to develop your personal potential to the full, you should rely upon
your own resources to discover as much about your aims in life and to form-
ulate your personal philosophy of life.  You will therefore need considerable
freedom to do your own thing in your search for your true purpose in life,
for you believe this search to be noble and worthwhile.  You are likely to
be optimistic and generous in activities and discussions which increase your
understanding of life, for you realise that a frank exchange of views is the
best way to achieve understanding.  You are tolerant of other people who do
not share your views, though you will become angry if they try to impose
their beliefs upon you or if they try to interfere with your right to do
what you want with your own life.  You may need to develop some self-disc-
ipline just to ensure that you do not get carried away by your enthusiasm to
such an extent that you become in too many religious or philosophical pur-
suits without developing some discrimination between their relative values.

With Jupiter in Capricorn, your upbringing has convinced you that in order
to develop your personal potential to the full, you should attain some con-
crete and tangible success in life through effort and hard work on your part.
Even when young you will be quite ambitious, and your strong conscience has
left you with firm ideas about right and wrong, which you apply strictly to
both yourself and to other people.  From a philosophical point of view, you
see value in a set of ideas or beliefs only if it can be translated into
life at a practical level.  Your ambition and desire to achive practical
results is related to your psychological need to have approval from other
people and society, and it is therefore quite possible that you will place
importance on financial security, status and posessions, since these are
society's symbols of success.  You will do well to question how important
these matters are in reality.  Your drive to succeed in the outer world
should not allow you to close your mind to other possibilities for per-
sonal growth through developing some less serious interests.

With Jupiter in Aquarius, your upbringing has left you feeling that in
order to develop your personal potential to the full, you should try to
develop as much understanding about the world and other people as poss-
ible.  Your personal philosophy of life may be regarded as unusual by
some people, for some of your ideas and beliefs about the world stem
from an early age, and they affect the way you see the world now.  You
are a progressive thinker, with humanitarian beliefs that champion the
rights of the individual within society, and you tend to come up with new
ways of solving problems, having confidence in your ability to think clearly
about the larger factors involved in a situation as well as the smaller.
For this reason too, you tend to understand the structure and evolution of
group processes, and you may well show interest and ability in playing a
leading role in group practices.  On a larger scale, you are keen to over-
come injustice in the world, though this should be attempted in a construct-
ive way, rather than as part of a rebellious outburst of righteous anger.

With Jupiter in Pisces, your upbringing has left you feeling that in order
to develop your personal potential to the full, you should be helpful to
other people through a sense of obligation to them.  This is a rather round-
about way of finding your true purpose in life, and it is important that you
spend some time by yourself to collect your beliefs about the world so that
your helpfulness is realistically orientated rather than a neurotic desire
to feel needed.  This will help to offset the confusion you sometimes feel
over your higher aims in life and your personal philosophy.  You may take
some time to work out what is your best course in life and to develop work-
able beliefs, but success is important for you can become a very helpful
and giving person if you are motivated by suitable high ideals or a strong
religious streak.  You may be rather too prone to disappointment when the
world fails to live up to your ideals, but the solution is to actually
make your high ideals work by living them out, rather than to become the
victim of disillusionment through your high expectations of the world.
