Another humid day in the Big City.
Mercury is retrograde and I still don’t feel like blogging which is rare for me, to not have thoughts that I want to share RIGHT AWAY. Usually they are pouring out!
Clearly I need an inspiration infusion so on the train I was reading a little Jeanne Avery and reading about Jupiter and how too much Jupiter in a chart can lead to a kind of over-optimism which can then lead to — oh no— disappointment!
Not bad for a down side, huh? Considering the down side of the other planets! That’s why Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction is such a groovy aspect, although some astrologers no doubt believe Saturn’s gloom will cancel out Jupiter’s joy. The opposite is true. Saturn gives Jupiter some much needed realism, some limit–
Because boundless enthusiasm and joy without a job (Saturn =work) means no food, no shelter, in my humble opinion 🙂
Mercury retrograde, by the way, is one degree past sextiling Jupiter, a good aspect, although possibly a speaking-in-tongues-aspect, good for channeling! Air and fire people are definitely at home in this sky.
How do you feel about Jupiter?

I have Jupiter (Aqua -1 deg) and Saturn (Cappy 28 deg) in my 10th house – conj – It has been hard to keep a career – yes I do well when I am a workaholic – but then when I have to take care of myself or family – work soon forgets – yes Jupiter has left me disappointed on many occasions 🙁 Like Jupiter in Aries, Like Jupiter in Taurus – now Jupiter is in my 2nd house – but in Gemini – I am not really too good with Gemini – so no expectations there… With Jupiter and Saturn together for me – it seems it’s just hard work…
I have a strong Jupiter in Aries and I’m glad a Saturn contact slows it down! I’ve noticed that people tend to focus on Saturn aspecting their Jupiter (and think: boo!) but ignore that Jupiter is also tempering their Saturn (surely a “yay”).
