Conclusions about Jupiter

September 15, 2006

The keywords for Jupiter might be: drama, confrontation, fighting, hard

life, surviving, power, struggle, honor, strong principles, bravery etc.

This fits perfectly with Jupiter as the astrological representator for type

Eight, the Boss, in the enneagram.

This study would seem to give support to the idea that the traits of

tropical Capricorn belongs for the most part to sidereal Sagittarius, and

those of tropical Aries belong to sidereal Pisces. If we take this idea

further, we might think that Jupiter is actually a mix of " tropical Saturn "

and " tropical Mars " . Jupiter on the sidereal Sagittarius ascendant would

seem to emphasisise more the " Saturn " side - suffering, hardships,

surviving, depression, etc., whereas Jupiter on the sidereal Pisces

ascendant points to the " Mars " side of Jupiter: fighting, warriorness, honor

etc.

Many astrologers have noted that Jupiter is often active on the death charts

and also on charts of the near ones, when the loss happens. It's interpreted

as " liberation " , but what if it simply points to the obvious: Jupiter is not

about an easy life or happy incidents. What else Jupiter is not? It's

wouldn't seem to be about gentleness, moral goodness, laughter, or being

light and funny. It doesn't seem to be the Santa Claus of planets, as it's

sometimes called.

In fact, because I think that this world contains basically only seven

archetypes and all the myths and stories are only representations of these

basic stories, I think the reason why Chiron has touched such a deep chord

in peoples hearts in the astrological world is that it's actually one of

these seven basic themes that's lost in contemporary astrology. It needed to

be discovered again, the theme about suffering and surviving, about being

wild and untamed, about going too far and taking too much and becoming wise

in the process. Chiron is actually Jupiter. The figure of Sagittarius alone

should show us that.
