Jupiter aspects

JUPITER is the planet of expansion, higher education, philosophy, religion, the higher mind, fortune, fun, happiness, food and drink, parties, amusements, games, ideals, laws, publication and tolerance. It is also associated with foreign cultures and overseas travel.



Jupiter-Saturn aspects: Many astrologers see this as "karmic"; Jupiter is all about moving forward, progressing, having high ideals, and being optimistic. On the other hand, there's Saturn which is all about hard work, discipline, restrictions and obstacles. As you can see, this can be a challenging aspect, but depending on WHICH aspect you have, this can be rewarding as well.

The trines and sextiles are harmonious, indicating that the individual works hard and plays hard. There is generally no conflict involved. It is natural to work hard as the person is generally optimistic and inspired. There are road blocks in everyone's life and these people just see these as new forks in the road to grow and expand.

The conjunction can manifest in the way as above, but it is more intense. And the person will work and play harder with more intensity. The Jupiter-Saturn aspect is more profound and important in their lives.

The harsher aspects are the ones that are more challenging to deal with, but is hardly the end of the world. Harsh aspects are the opposition, square and quincunx. The opposition in particular may indicate someone who swings back and forth between play time and work time, rarely accomplishing anything constructive. The squares and quincunx show a conflict between Jupiter and Saturn; the person is very much capable of hard work and good fortune in his/her life, but sometimes is kept back from environmental forces. One can be having a child too early in life ( like 18 or 19 years old ), being born into poverty ( but is a hard worker and craves the finer things in life and prestige ), or having parents who simply tell you you're not good enough. Anyway, if the person can get over his/her insecurities ( Saturn ), then he/she can work hard and keep on trying until they succeed. Harsh aspects are rewarded also but there is more conflict involved. There is often a stop/go attitude and conflict between working and playing.

Religion wise, there can be skepticism about organized religion, Atheism or Agnosticism. Or the native with Jupiter-Saturn is religious and follows the religion of their culture to maintain social conformity. Can be dogmatic about religion.



Jupiter-Uranus aspects: Challenging aspects and soft aspects are generally both decent. Any Jupiter-Uranus aspect is good for higher education and critical thinking. Uranus allows creativity and intellect to flow through the high ideals of Jupiter. This is a creative aspect; stimulates abstract thinking, open mindedness and tolerance. All good qualities indeed.

One's world view is generally more liberally focused or independent.

There is a possibility of Atheism or Agnosticism with this placement. Another way this can manifest is of a believer ( Christianity, Islam or Judaism ) who is open minded about other religions and does not take their Holy Book word to word. Another way this can manifest is someone being a secular humanist or a deist.



Jupiter-Neptune aspects: Jupiter and Neptune are planets associated with religion and spirituality. There is a possibility that people with these aspects are highly religious in organized religion, but are not dogmatic or dominating about their religion. But they could be prone to fantasies and idealism concerning their religion and not truly seeing it for what it is.

These are highly spiritual people. They are highly intuitive.

Besides organized religion, some people with these aspects could be interested in Eastern religions, like Buddhism or Hinduism. Also, they could be Deists or secular humanists. They might not believe in organized religion at all, preferring to be Agnostic theists.

If a native with these aspects are Atheist or Agnostics leaning Atheist, they still have a creative and intuitive bent. Their beliefs on Atheism are based on feeling; there was a strong feeling in their hearts that a god does not exist. ( Logic can have much to do with it; look at other aspects ).

Besides religion, this is a good placement for artsy and creative endeavors. If you like to write fantasy novels or childrens books, this is the aspect for you. Mercury does rule writing, but Jupiter rules publication.

This aspect is also for people who like to help the unfortunate. They do it not because they want to look good, but because they really do enjoy helping humanity.



Jupiter-Pluto aspects: Whether these people have the harsh aspects or harminous ones, there is a degree of POWER and CHARISMA associated with these aspects. Many politicians and world leaders have Jupiter-Pluto aspects. Also, many famous people have Jupiter-Pluto aspects. On the down side, notorious criminals sometimes have these aspects too. It is what it is.

These people know what they want in life and how to get it. If they fail, they try again until they succeed. Some of them are good at manipulating to get where they want to in life; others are born in fortunate and powerful families. They find their goals in life and path in life as very important. Some people with these aspects who want to be celebrities try and try until someone recognizes them, but there's something about them that catches the eye of Hollywood. Perhaps something that other people do not have: charisma and power.

This is generally a good aspect if you're born poor and you want to move up the social ladder in your career. It gives you the drive and ambition to do it.

These people have a strict world view and philosophy that does not change during their lives. They vote the same way and their beliefs are the same way.

Religion wise, this is very much the case. If they're an Atheist, they're an Atheist. They may be outspoken Atheists. If they're a Believer/Theist, they will never change.

Venus aspects

Yesterday I wrote on Mars aspects. Today, as you see from the title, I am blogging on my interpretations on Venus aspects.

In astrology, Venus represents love. That should be a no brainer, right? Venus is Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Venus represents how we love, who we love, and what we love. It also represents our creative tastes, how creative we are, how we view friendships, how we socialize with other people, fashion, homes and gardens, anything beautiful or superficial, and money ( materialism ).

Now your Venus sign ain't everything. You're going to find people with Venus in Scorpio who are NOT possessive or jealous types, but they might be loyal and love in depth. You're going to find Venus in Capricorn people who cheat. You're going to find Venus in Gemini people who do not cheat. The list can go on. That's why you must look at Venus aspects and house placements.

Shall we begin?



Venus-Sun aspects, Venus-Moon aspects, Venus-Mercury, Venus-Mars... see other blogs.



Venus-Jupiter aspects: Expands love. This could mean someone who is unfaithful or has a hard time setting down. But it could also mean that the person goes to great lengths to show their love to one person.

These people are generally fun partners and wives/husbands. They love to go out, dine at good restaurants and expand their horizons. They are open minded when it comes to love and fairly tolerant, although not in the Uranian sense. These are people who would prefer active dates or philosophical dates in the park.

These people love their freedom. In a relationship or marriage, they need their own space.

There is a love of tolerance, broad mindedness, philosophy, religion, and travel. They might find love while overseas or be in love with foreign people.



Venus-Saturn aspects: Venus-Saturn can be annoying, but it has its pros and cons. ( I have the sextile and know people with the conjunction, and another with the square ). Generally speaking, these are the people who are late bloomers when it comes to love. They are not always the ones dating in high school, or prefer older or more mature partners. These are the people who are reserved and introverted, not always too fond of affection. However, there is a discreet elegance to them that is hard to miss, even with the harsh aspects. They may have an aloof attractiveness about them. Oftentimes, the opposite sex ( or same, if you swing thataway ) think these natives are not the least bit interested. They are not very good at flirting.

Sometimes they ( esp. women ) may be accused of being too icy or playing hard to get. This is not the case. Both sexes with these aspects are reserved and cautious in love. They do not take risks, or at least it is very hard for them to just ask someone they just met out.

I have the sextile. I can't just ask a cute guy out on a date I just met. I have to know him first and trust he won't reject me ( but I also have the Venus-Pluto conj ).

Overtime, they may be more sociable and get better looking as they age. They may have been awkward teenagers who felt they were not worthy of love.

These are people who highly value and see the importance of friendship. They have few close friends and sometimes don't feel close to anyone. These are people who feel that they are the only ones who care; no one else loves or cares as much as they do. Most of the time this is only their thoughts and not true.



Venus-Uranus aspects: Venus-Uranus produces a person who is crazy and likes to do crazy things in love! You don't know what they'll do next. They are exciting and sometimes unpredictable. They might love people who you think are a bit odd. Like Venus-Jupiter, they are very tolerant, and some of them are going to want men/women who are not good for them at all.

Indicates dating/marrying/being involved with men/women who are bizarre and unpredictable, unreliable OR men/women who are novel, intelligent, and logical.

Two types of Venus-Uranus: 1. Those who are wild, unpredictable and have a hard time settling down. Harsh aspects may indicate cheating. 2. Intelligent and caring lover, but perhaps a little emotionally dumb. Hard time showing affection.

Venus-Uranus aspects love people, even if it's on a distance level. A love for humanity. A love for technology. A love for science. Loving science. Loving advances to the human race. Loving humanitarian organizations. Loving helping people.

Just because someone has a Venus-Uranus aspect that doesn't mean they are going to cheat or date someone with purple hair and a million tattoos/piercing. However, they do thrive on varying and differing relationships. What they do might be different from what other people do. An example might be a woman who is 5 or 6 years older than her boyfriend/husband.

Venus-Uranus has its own standards for love. People do what they want and fuck the rest.



Venus-Neptune aspects: These are the people who long for the fairy tale romance ( unless Venus-Saturn is there or somethin' ). They see love with rose colored glasses and some might even imagine sex rather than doing it! Highly idealistic and often let down in love and in love partners. However, they just keep on dreaming and dreaming.

Venus-Neptune might indicate romances that are unreliable and unstable at first, but as one matures the relationships thrive on compassion, sensitivity, romance, and understanding. They need to get over the illusions and rose colored glasses first.

A love of poetry and writing. A love of the sea and fish. A love of water. A love for creativity. A love for high fashion. A love for shopping.

Attracted to those who are artsy and creative.



Venus-Pluto aspects: Sometimes there is a preoccupation with sex. Some people with these aspects have a high preoccupation with sex; they have it all the time with their partners and try new things, are passionate. Or they are the type that will do it with anyone to fulfill their own needs. Another way this can manifest is the person who is preoccupied with sex, but fears rejection so much they're still virgins. Venus-Pluto can abstain from sex just as much as it can actually do it.

There are high standards when it comes to love and love partners. Not anyone will do. Venus-Pluto would rather be alone than with someone they don't give a shit about. They can be single or alone for long periods of time, just like how they can abstain for long periods of time. Also, they do crave intimate relationships, but can handle waiting for it.

Intense and passionate. Compassionate and deep. Disliking fake loves and friendships. Can see right through superficiality.

Some people with these aspects have an interest in the taboo, or dating within the taboo. Some prosititutes have this aspect, however; keep in mind that not all people with these aspects are prostitutes.

Can be possessive and jealous in love. Can be obsessive.





** Disclaimer: If you have more than one Venus aspect, these can be modified. Also, look to house placement. I have a series on that from November and December.

Mars aspects

Mars is well-known to be the planet of war. In astrology, it represents our drive, sex in the lustful manner, force, and how we experience anger. It can also represent athletics, sports and active activities. It is also what we are sexually attracted to, what turns us on.

In old fashioned astrology, a woman would not associate herself with her Mars. For example, if a woman had Mars in Gemini, she would be attracted to men who are intelligent, witty. It would not mean that when she is angry she can become cold or icy, or intellectualizes things.

However, nowadays we associate Mars with both sexes. In both sexes it is what we are attracted to sexually and how we experience drive and anger.

Mars-Venus aspects: Love and sexual styles go hand-in-hand and are fused together. One can have love with sex, or experience romance and affection with sex. On the other side, if there are stressful aspects, one can have sex plenty of times without really being in love. One can be unfaithful. With other stressful aspects, like the quincunx or opposition, sexual and love styles might be so different the person will need to balance the two or make adjustments. Take Mars in Aries and Venus in Scorpio for example; there is a push and drive from Aries, but fear of rejection from Scorpio.

One can be turned on by arts, music, and creativity.

Or perhaps one's love style is assertive, driven and direct. Or perhaps both. Certainly, if you have the conjunction you're an assertive, direct, and fast moving lover, but you could be turned on by artsy and creative individuals.

Generally a high sex drive or emphasis on sex.



Mars-Jupiter aspects: Mars is anger and Jupiter is expansion. Yes, someone with any Mars-Jupiter aspects, whether soft or stressful, can have a temper problem. Depending on aspects and house placements will show the effect; one person could have a temper tantrum and forget/forgive, and the other person might have an explosive and raging temper.

Well, it's not all bad news, either. Intelligent people who love to discuss politics, philosophy, religion ( or lack thereof ), sociology, or current events turn them on. They want to have sex with intellectual people. They are turned off by ignorance and narrow mindedness. You have to be able to keep up with their discussions or they won't be into you anymore.

Another good thing about Mars-Jupiter is an interest in the outdoors and fitness, whether it's just running in the park or playing a team sport.



Mars-Saturn aspects: Ice/fire, stop/go are frequent features of any of the aspects. Whether the aspect, there will always be self doubt lingering in the person, even if they are successful at what they want to do in life. Also, sexual styles may be inhibited, out of fear or being overly cautious. Caution can be a good thing, but sometimes they can miss out on good opportunities.

However, it's not all bad news or doom/gloom. Any of the aspects can learn a lot if they get over their obstacles. And generally they learn the hard way. They are disciplined with their bodies and how they react to anger ( but this depends on what aspect ).

Stressful aspects are obviously harder. The conj, square and opp might indicate someone who fights anger between fire and ice, or anger and apathy. One minute they might be angry as f*ck, or apathetic and cold the next ( square, opp ). The conjunction person might fight with ice and apathy to the point that the person who pissed them off thinks they're arrogant and robotic. However, they may feel many self doubts or that the world is against them. They work hard, though, and hopefully will see that anything keeping them back is inside THEM.

Soft aspects can be hard, but the obstacles might not be so hard to get over. That's because there is better self esteem and these people might not feel like total failures at heart. There is good discipline and an organized manner they work or move up the social ladder. Generally law abiding citizens who are cautious.

Turn ons: someone who is organized, hard working, loyal and devoted. May be turned off by someone vulgar, dirty, or having a messed up life.



Mars-Uranus aspects: Certainly these people may get themselves into trouble whether they are consciously trying or not. Think of these people as the ones who have speeding problems and can't wait in traffic. There could be anger problems with anger coming suddenly and out of nowhere. Luckily, this is not the rage anger where it lingers on forever. On the other side, there may also be people who experience anger in a cold and aloof way as well. They may view anger as too emotional or irrational. Uranus can be either rational or irrational.

There is a lot of restless energy with any of the aspects. This can be used in anger, exercise, pacing around the room ( moving ), driving when angered, promoting a cause when restless, or working on creative projects when restless.

Stressful aspects may come into trouble with authority figures. It can range from rebelling against a teacher, getting a speeding ticket, or telling off one's supervisor. Or even robbing a bank or doing a criminal activity in the extreme. Stressful aspects indicate a drive or NEED almost to be free, independent and with no strings attached. When these people want their freedom, there is conflict. They almost fight for their freedom. There might be kicking and screaming involved. You might be able to tell which children have Mars-Uranus aspects too.

Soft aspects do have a need for freedom as well, but there isn't necessarily a conflict involved. Freedom comes naturally to them, but they also can find a balance as well. The balance is probably key as to why they aren't frequently in trouble.

However, either can be reckless when not careful or being absent minded.

Turn ons: intelligence, logic, creativity, humanitarianism, open mindedness, tolerance. Turn offs: ignorance, too many emotions, closed mindedness, intolerance, dullness, constriction.



Mars-Neptune aspects: An illusion is a delusion, right? There isn't so much anger problems with this aspect, but keep in mind if the same person with Mars-Neptune has Mars-Jupiter or Mars-Moon aspect, there could be anger associated with them. However, without all that jazz, Mars-Neptune indicates a person who is passive-aggressive, or passive in general. They may be afraid of vocalize their needs and wants; they have a hard time going after what they want and desire. This can cause problems in a career or in a relationship. SOME people with these aspects cheat in relationships because they cannot vocalize their needs or desires; in this case, they are not vocalizing what the partner is doing to upset them ( so they cheat instead ). Tiger Woods, I believe, has the opposition.

As children, they might have been bullied because they were too quiet or passive. So they perhaps come home and are mean and manipulative to their parents or other family members because of what happens at school.

When they actually do go for what they desire, they do so in an indirect and possibly manipulative manner. Sometimes they can't help it because that is their personality, but the fear of confrontation might lose them friends and lovers. If they are mad at a friend, they may talk behind the person's back instead of actually discussing the problem with the person they are angered at. Or if they don't want to see someone, they perhaps ignore the person without telling why.

Neptune is illusions and deception on its bad side. So there could be cheating OR wanting someone who is far away or deceiving THEM! They may want someone sexually who is far away, too ideal or doesn't want them. They see the person in rose colored glasses.

Mars-Neptune aspect people are nonetheless creative and romantic. They are restless. They are driven to create artwork, masterpieces, or even do PRACTICAL work with a creative twist. Exercising with music, eh? Or they can't exercise AT ALL without music.

Turn ons: creativity, larger than life person, spirituality, kindness, compassion. Turn offs: meanness, rudeness, dullness, practicality, black/white attitude.



Mars-Pluto aspects: People with Mars-Pluto aspects are sometimes talked about in darkness on Yahoo Answers. There is a fear about them. Sure, some of them are to be feared, but not all. Some people with these aspects are angry souls with resentfulness and bitterness inside of them. Their anger can be a rage and cruel.

However, there are many people in the world with Mars-Pluto aspects. Not all of them are cruel-minded and evil. Is there even an evil? Who knows? At any rate, there still can be bitterness and a cynical attitude. Try not to take it too personally; some people are just bitter and that's how they are.

In extreme instances, there are people with these aspects who are into torturing or dominating their sexual partner. They may really enjoy hurting their partners. In less extreme instances, they may just enjoy to dominate their partner, but do not enjoy hurting their partner ( or killing them. )

A good side to these people is that they can get absolutely anything done if they set their minds to it. A 5K when 15 lbs overweight? Doable. A project at work that is time consuming? Doable. Projects at home that require strength? Doable. Getting over societal obstacles? Doable.

There is a high sex drive here,but that doesn't mean they get it all the time or are sex freaks.

Turn ons: loyalty, transformation, sex, "darkness," taboo. Turn offs: weakness or at least vocalizing it





Disclaimer: If you have more than one Mars aspect, these will be modified. Also, house placements are significant.
