Are all Jupiter transits truly so positive?
You must always remember that when reading about astrology, all you are reading is ones opinion about astrology. That is what astrology is. Someone's opinion. When I began studying astrology years ago I thought that everything that I read was a fact and the truth is that every author in astrology is just giving their opinion. As one ages, you have a better ability to say, " I agree with that," or you can say "I don't agree with that." I learned this late in life unfortunately. And it was so confusing to read one interpretation of an aspect and then pick up another book and the same aspect had a totally different definition. That's astrology for you. The sooner you learn that, but better it is for you. So yes, in general all of the aspects to Jupiter can be pleasant. But Jupiter can also mean "too much." A Jupiter/Venus aspect can mean too much overindulgence in food and drink. Even promiscuity. That isn't good. A Jupiter/Ascendant aspect could mean putting on alot of weight. Again, not good. A Jupiter/Mercury aspect can mean that you are forcing your opinion on others too much or are talking too much. Again, not good. Mars/Jupiter aspects can be too much unrestrained movement. Too much energy to be throwing around. Again, not good. Saturn/Jupiter aspects can mean that either Saturn keeps Jupiter level-headed and working toward a goal or either Jupiter takes over and procrastinates on ones personal responsibilities. Not good. I believe that astrologers tend to take the beneficial influences of Jupiter even when there is a square or opposition. I think what they are trying to do is to mitigate the negative as Jupiter is seen as a wonderful benevolent planet. But there is too much of a good thing. And that is when 400 pound Jupiter arrives at the party on his extremely tired horse, carrying a bottle of wine in each hand and one is already almost empty. That can also be Jupiter. Jupiter can be highly immoderate. That is often omitted in astrology. It reminds me of tarot cards when reversed. Sometimes these reversed cards are given the "Jupiter Effect" and wonderful things are predicted that just seem too good to be true. Again, that is Jupiter. It is a great planet but it can go overboard in just about everything. You are debating with another's opinion and that is what makes astrology so interesting. We don't have to agree with some or anyone's opinion and that allow us to think for ourselves. I do looks up things often on astrology web sites, but bu this time in my life, I have my own way of doing things and astrology is in that category. If it doesn't seem correct, I move on. Glad to see that you are questioning what you are reading. Keep doing that because I believe that truth is simple and anything that requires too much explanation is probably not the best answer. Again, truth is simple. And not to mention the fact that we astrologers can get into a rut or a routine and stop growing in our knowledge of astrology. You should be learning something new everyday, even if you don't agree with it. That is our prerogative. We are astrologers. Thought-provoking question. Good luck and Bless you.
