Venus in aspect to Jupiter

The conjunction of Venus to Jupiter indicates that you are benevolent, kind, sympathetic, and generous. But you go to extremes in expressing these qualities and are indulgent with people even when they don't deserve it. Brutality and vulgarity are intolerable to you. You have a good sense of humor, although you have your contemplative moments, and you usually conduct yourself with decorum. In the presence of adversity, you are especially optimistic and always hopeful that the situation will turn out for the best. Self-indulgent in acquiring material comforts, you prefer a life of ease that allows you to participate in all the pleasurable social activities that you love.

Domestic conditions in your childhood may not have been abundant in material comforts, but probably you were not deprived of anything truly essential. Love, kindness, and understanding between you and your parents established the foundation for your continued growth and development.

You are suited to occupations in which your effusive mannet can be expressed, such as public relations, travel, working with young people as a teacher or guidance counsellor, or directing social activities. Through your work in a welfare oganization or foundation, you could bring joy and hope to people who are disadvantaged by social, economic, or physical problems. Your talents mght also be applied in rehabilitative therapy through crafts and other avocational pursuits.

Your breezy disposition and warm nature make you popular with almost everybody. You are too easy-going, though, and some individuals may try to take advantage of you. However, you are rarely embittered by such negative encounters. You seek and are sought after by people who are also self-assured and who expect to succeed. You respond to honesty and gravitate toward persons with that quality. But you react negatively to those who make sincere gestures toward others only if they have some ulterior motive. You don't waste time on people who waste their time. Any accomplishment, either material or personal, makes you glow with happiness. Difficult stress contact from Saturn to this planetary pair may make it burdensome to gain this happiness, but you would still be inclined to it.

Venus conjunct Jupiter: Here, expansive, ameliorating Jupiter joins forces with Venus, the promoter of balance and harmony. It is generally assumed that this should make us lovable, friendly and jolly, and therefore well-liked and popular. We appreciate good companionship, and certainly know how to enjoy life.

In love and friendship, we can shed a lot of warmth, but the desire to spread our wings (given by Jupiter) may mean that we do not stay faithful to one partner.

We are quite prepared to set the ball rolling socially, and we like to immerse ourselves with others in anything that happens to fascinate us, including philosophical subjects (Jupiter). However, Venus is a rather lazy planet and, in this conjunction, can make us rather half-hearted or self-indulgent when it comes to Jovian interests such as study, travel and philosophical reasoning. Enjoyment, comfort and elegant idleness are liable to have the edge on serious effort. Self-discipline is not the strong point of this conjunction.

Venus also represents the need for material security. Its conjunction with Jupiter intensifies this need, and a fair amount of effort will be expended satisfying it. Generally, we look for a position where we can prosper and wind up with plenty of money in the bank.

Venus conjunct Jupiter: The mother brings an exciting, open and straightforward influence to this child's concept of expectancy. This influence can be somewhat moderated by the signs in which the conjunction takes place, and the aspect should be read with the signs in mind. Other aspects can mitigate this interpretation, for the energy will not be free to operate until the mitigating aspect is rechanneled.

The conjunction aspect is helpful for it indicates the capacity to relate to what is wanted, to pursue what is wanted, and if the aspect is unafflicted the energy can indicate a go-getter. If other aspects inhibit this one, or if the chart is undeveloped, the aspect can indicate a person who is merely self-exuberant or selfish.

Venus conjunct Jupiter: Both the good and the inharmonious elements may result from this configuration, according to the sign involved and the remainder of the nativity. Grace of expression, deep philosophic insight, idealism and literary tendencies are among the good expressions.

This conjunction is sometimes rather sybaritic and amorous, but may be present in the charts of people capable of sternness. It also has a lighter social side. It seems to tend to popularity, but, in itself, appeals to the less thoughtful and serious elements of the population - one may become a matinee idol or the object of flapper-adoration. It certainly tends to make men popular with women, and it would be an excellent feature in the nativity of one who desired to do business with that sex, or to found a religion which might appeal to them. Teachers with this position have indeed been criticized rightly or wrongly for allowing themselves to become objects of adulation from ladies with more heart than discrimination.

I have heard it said that good aspects between Venus and Jupiter are of use only to lazy people, but the lists I have made (including Mussolini) disprove any connection between it and indolence.

Venus sextile Jupiter

The sextile from Venus to Jupiter shows that you have an outgoing personality. Your ease in expressing yourself endears you to everyone with whom you deal. You know how to say the right thing at the right time for the results you want. You are generous with praise when it is deserved, and sometimes even when it isn't. Others think of you as a kind, sympathetic, and understanding person who can always find the time for someone who needs assistance. Even people who are inclined to pessimism come away with hope because you can always visualize a solution to their problems. You don't generally interfere in the affairs of others, but you will make yourself available if necessary. Your attitude is, 'If they need me, I'm as close as the telephone'. You are popular because you don't make excessive demands on people, being tolerant of their frailties.

You can apply your talents in many diverse directions, for this planetary combination does not of itself give a specific talent. It does give a personable quality that is a distinct asset in certain professions and fields. Any occupation involving public contact is far easier with this kind of temperament. It would be especially beneficial, both to you and to others, to work with the public in some capacity, perhaps as social director of some large organization, as a teacher, or as a travelers' guide. Writing would be another avenue of expression for your creative ability. You are not patient enough to submit to the rigorous discipline required for writing lengthy stories, but essays or magazine articles would certainly be suitable.

The 'good life', with comfortable surroundings, a lavishly furnished home, good friends, and plenty of social activity, is what you desire. You would find it difficult to accept a life of austerity that allowed only the barest essentials.

You round out your daily living with a variety of vocational interests. Reading, travel, social activities, music, art, and theatre are some of the many interests that enrich you and give you pleasure. You not only enjoy these interests as a spectator, but you also participate in them when you can.

You expect honesty and sincerity from anyone with whom you have more than a casual relationship. Even among your casual acquaintances, you are 'turned off' if you discover them to be deceptive, indifferent, insensitive, or coarse. You identify with people who are not content to stand still in their development and are always eager to improve themselves.

Venus sextile Jupiter: The sextile indicates a person whose psyche is constructively affected by his mother, for she shows him that relationships can take place, that one can reach out and be favorably received. Metaphysically speaking, we all get what we expect. Some people are naturally able to reach out - to respond to others, to ask for what is needed - because the early childhood environment was encouraging. This individual will have an inner sense of security that will enable him to have the confidence he needs to pursue his goals.

For a woman, this aspect indicates a predilection for comfortable emotional relationships, and she will pass her responsiveness on to her children. For a man, the aspect indicates an interest in relating to his children; he can encourage them to respond and relate. The trine aspect will also encourage this kind of attitude.

Venus trine or sextile Jupiter: When the natal horoscope has Venus and Jupiter in harmony, we stroke people as being very charming and friendly. We mingle social graces and geniality, and instinctively know how to be popular. With a kindly word, a friendly gesture or the latest joke, we get people on our side. No wonder these aspects are reckoned to be among the most useful to own.

The ease with which we sail through life is based largely on the way in which we inspire confidence. These are really beautiful aspects for forming secure relationships and for success in love and in material things - provided we can rule ourselves. The harmony of the aspects should keep us relatively free from marital problems. However, Jupiter increases the demands of Venus and may leave us continually wanting more emotional satisfaction and more material possessions. Therefore, we do not always find permanently happy marriages under these aspects. Nevertheless, there will certainly be a high degree of stability in a relationship.

Loyalty, cheerfulness, affability and a fondness for amusements and luxuries are characteristic.

Venus trine or sextile Jupiter: Nearly all, or perhaps quite all, of the persons known to me with this combination are by no means placid or tranquil by nature, as might be expected from a good configuration of the benefics. The great gift of the combination seems to be grace of expression, although this may be expressed in some forms only. A case like that of Tennyson shows that the grace of expression may be expressed only through writing, for he was often gruff in his behavior.

Sometimes there are oratorical abilities. As a rule, the grace is verbal, but sometimes it would be more true to say that there is an attractive grace of demeanor. I have occasionally noticed this even in persons with Venus and Jupiter in bad aspect, provided they are in congenial signs.

Often the feelings are capricious and restless, so that connubial happiness does not always accompany this contact, nor is the native always happy in disposition: its chief influence seems certainly to be in the direction of art and literature.

It promotes popularity and affection, so benefitting anyone who has to do with the public, especially in the way of amusing or pleasing them. It is less good for those who must correct or instruct.

The effects of this combination on the health are considerable, and it seems to promote longevity, perhaps because the influence of Venus tempers and moderates the Jovian tendency towards excess and hazardous conduct.

Venus square Jupiter

Your Venus square Jupiter indicates that you are a bit indulgent and careless in attending to your responsibilities. When things are going your way, you are outgoing and personable, but you can be difficult to deal with when you run into opposition. In your relations with people, you may indicate that you will make adjustments, but this is often an empty gesture. You resent being forced to do anything, and wish that people would realize this before attempting to get you to act. You feel that antagonistic feelings between you and someone else are largely the result of the other person not understanding you. You are generous mainly when it satisfies an ulterior motive, and you may withdraw an offer to help someone at a later time by saying 'It wouldn't have been appreciated anyway'.

You have the potential to fill any of a variety of occupational positions if you learn to accept responsibility. You may not be free to engage in other activities that you would prefer, but you must be realistic in determining your priorities. You must discipline yourself to earn your living first and indulge yourself only when your duties are fulfilled. It is indeed almost impossible to have it both ways. In all your affairs, including personal relationships, job opportunities, or frustrations, you tend to exaggerate your plans for the future. You make it seem that everyone is beating a path to your door for your attentions. But the truth is that you are desperate for attention and will resort to all sorts of deceptive tactics to gain it. You must come to grips with these problems before you can expect to be successful. Once you do, you are well on your way to achievement in such fields as travel, public relations, guidance counseling, etc.. Communication is your greatest asset, and you can use it skillfully to gain your objectives. Stop being so defensive; most people are willing to meet you halfway if you give them the chance. You feel that you attract more than your fair share of hostility from people who are trying to take advantage of you.

If you present yourself honestly, you will attract individuals whom you can relate to romantically. Learn to be generous to others, even if it hurts to know that the generosity may never be returned. You may be surprised to discover how many people are naturally generous. Certainly you sometimes hate yourself for being cantankerous with people who don't deserve this treatment. When you indulge the needs and desires of others, it pays big dividends in goodwill.

Your greatest problems are learning to be less suspicious of people when they extend themselves to you, and to be less demanding of them in their relationships with you.

You may have a problem in keeping your weight down because of your self-indulgent habits. Rich foods are not for you, and a low-carbohydrate diet is recommended. Rest is also very important, and if you cannot get extended hours of sleep, try taking frequent short rest periods.

Venus square Jupiter: Venus symbolizes how the mother affects the child's psyche as far as the concept of love and / or femininity is concerned; Jupiter indicates the ability to relate. When these two facets of personality are square to each other, it indicates a person who tends to be excessive. Jupiter denotes our ability to open up, to expand, to reach out. The concept of love developed from the qualities of the Venus sign will not correspond to the relating qualities. This person may fall in love in an instant and fall out of love the next, or may overreact to every nuance in the relationship.

When this aspect occurs in a female's chart, she may be excessive about her femaleness, she may feel unsure of herself as a woman and therefore attempt to over-relate to anything she loves. This can indicate a superficially feminine woman who is all hairdo, painted fingernails and make-up, one who appears at her door at 8 a.m. looking as if she's ready to go to a party; a woman who is overly sensitive to any slight she feels may be directed toward her femininity, who has to prove that she's affectionate, and who may seem a bit shallow. This is an overreaction to the concept of the feminine. It means that her mother presented an image during the formative years that neither she nor her daughter could relate to. A concept of self-worth will need to be developed.

The man born with this aspect may be a bit afraid of women, for his image of mother is unpredictable and he may have unconscious memories of her reactions to life that were formed by the time he was three years old. He tends to project this uncertainty onto the women he meets; he may have difficulty taking love and marriage seriously. He may enter a relationship from a role-playing point so that he can play 'Daddy' and she plays 'Mommy'. He may wander from one love affair to another, for, like his female counterpart, he can fall in love at the drop of a hat.

Here, the relating principle doesn't agree with the concept of love: one reaches out to grab the brass ring on a merry-go-round that one doesn't really want. When loved, this person may not be able to relate to or appreciate being loved by the person who cares. When one can't relate to what one wants, the riddle of life becomes more and more mysterious. This person really doesn't know what's good for him.

The aspect can be understood when it's broken down by sign and keyword. The concept of love can be interpreted by sign. The relating principle can be intellectually understood by sign. Relationships can be analyzed so that previous relating problems can be used as the key to avoiding the same situation in the future. Once the frustration of the square energy is comprehended, the aspect can be rechanneled into a productive pattern similar to the trine.

Venus square or opposite Jupiter: With the hard aspects between Venus and Jupiter we do have a great deal of warmth and cordiality to display, but we tend to be too pushy. There is no mistaking how much we value good fellowship and the pleasant side of life. It is not often you will find us gated with the wallflowers; no, we are more likely to come waltzing in with the gate-crashers.

The craving for friendship and love (Venus) can well become too expansive under the influence of Jupiter and can incite us to make conquests on a large scale; especially as Jupiter, literally and metaphorically, is the planet of voyages of discovery. And although what we have here is a combination of two very compatible factors, we suffer from restless activity accompanied by restless feelings. All the same, this tension brought about both by the nature of the aspects and by the stirring expansiveness of Jupiter is an optimistic type of tension. Any Jupiter square will make us eager and challenging. When the square is with Venus, this can be rather attractive as long as it is not overdone.

We appreciate beauty and nice things, not to mention luxuries, but the appreciation is not simply passive even though two 'easy' planets are involved. With the restlessness both of the tense aspect and of Jupiter, we can work wonders in creative and artistic fields (Venus). Philosophical pursuits are not so well-starred, because, for these, Venus has to stimulate Jupiter, and Venus is not a great encourager of activity.

As in all Venus / Jupiter aspects, self-discipline is not a strong point, yet this is just what we need in order to keep our liveliness within bounds.

Venus trine Jupiter

The trine of Venus to your Jupiter shows that your inner poise enables you to view people and circumstances optimistically. You are rarely disturbed by negative elements in society because you have faith that everything will eventually turn out right. Most of the time you are cheerful, but when conditions warrant it, you can be serious. Your happy disposition bolsters people out of depression, and they feel they are not as badly off as they had thought. You meet people more than halfway because you are generous, understanding, and sympathetic. Others are not aware that you are not always as trouble-free as it seems, for you do not wear your problems on your sleeve. You don't share your difficulties with those who have enough problems of their own. Nor do you attempt to fight 'city hall', preferring to quietly take care of your affairs with little or no fanfare. You may gain attention, but you don't seek it.

Your talent in handling people suits you to work in public relations, social organizations, artistic endeavors, or any occupation that serves the public needs or desires. You have a great appreciation for art and could find much satisfaction in some aspect of that field. Perhaps decoration, design, and fabrication could provide you with meaningful employment.

You have a strong sense of ethics and social decorum. You always try to put your best foot forward and reach out to people with sincerity and honesty. You disdain anything vulgar or obscene, and abhor being with individuals whose attitudes are perverse. You prefer to associate with well-mannered persons who conduct themselves with propriety. Music, art, drama, and dancing are delights that enrich your everyday existence. You enjoy good food, the company of friendly people, and pleasant social activities.

You are drawn to individuals who are traditional in their conduct. In a romantic relationship, you are especially fascinated by persons who are not pretentious about their expectations of you. You want honesty between you and your lover and, above all, sincerity. You want to be respected and admired for not indulging in public displays of love, for you feel that such things should be reserved for the intimate moments when you are alone together.

You seem self-assured about what you want most in life, and you should enjoy marital and domestic harmony. Because you are able to make adjustments to what you want, you are likely to get them.

Venus trine Jupiter: Many think that this is a creative aspect, for Venus indicates an appreciation of beauty and the arts; and Jupiter indicates our ability to expand, and sometimes abundance. When the two are in trine aspect, it implies that the mother of the native is able to relate her concept of femininity and feeling in a constructive manner. She demonstrates the ability to give and receive love easily when this person is forming a personality (age 0-3). The individual learns to respond to works of art, to beauty, and to relating in general. This usually is the mark of one who falls in love with a constructive person, who enjoys a lovely home, literature, the classics. This individual is able to appreciate the love given to him, and can graciously accept any favor or gift.

Such people are inspiring to be around, for their enjoyment of life is obvious. However, the impact of the aspect will be curtailed if the Moon is afflicted.

Loyalty, cheerfulness, affability and a fondness for amusements and luxuries are characteristic.

It promotes popularity and affection, so benefitting anyone who has to do with the public, especially in the way of amusing or pleasing them. It is less good for those who must correct or instruct.

Venus quincunx Jupiter

The inconjunct of Venus to Jupiter shows that you overreact in making adjustments to other people's expectations. Because you are insufficiently aware of your own needs, you generously offer to serve the needs of others. But people are inclined to take advantage of your generosity to the point of abusing it. You aren't at all selective in choosing those to whom you submit, which invites all kinds of problems. Evidently, you were trained in the early years to take an inferior position to others. Perhaps you were told 'Honest work never hurt anyone', even if the people you were helping could take care of themselves. This could make you bitter for all your efforts, which bring so little benefit to yourself. It's one thing to be accommodating, but being a doormat is something else.

There are many occupational functions you can do well. This planetary combination does not of itself give a specific talent, but it does enable you to take on enormous responsibilities and succeed in carrying them out. You adapt to job demands easily, adjusting your personal circumstances as necessary. You are not likely to gain full recognition for all the work you either do yourself or assign to others. Because you underestimate your capabilities, you may be victimized by fellow employees who could take your ideas and use them for their own benefit.

You tend to exaggerate the expectations of your boss and co-workers, and quickly rise to prove your worth in their estimation. You labor under assumed challenges that may never materialize, and fear competitors who never existed. You respond to the goals you've established for yourself in a particular way, and it is difficult to persuade you to think otherwise. By taking yourself too seriously, you impede your progress. You care projects that are destined to fail because of your impossible expectations.

In general, you are defensive in your relationships with people, even those for whom you feel affection. You tend to project a meek and inadequate image in hopes of gaining their indulgence. You are often victimized and exploited in your romantic affairs, and may do all kinds of favors for someone who has no genuine affection for you. You so want approval that you submit to gross indignities, only to realize later that you've been taken.

Most of your physical problems have their origin in your mental attitudes. Your weariness may be mental exhaustion from trying so hard to be desired by others. You need to take a more optimistic attitude in order to protect yourself in your relationships with others. Your greatest priority should be to maintain your self-respect by refusing to be used by others.

Venus quincunx Jupiter: The elusive tension of the inconjunct does not lead to an open conflict between the planetary factors involved, and does little to stir things up. Therefore, in the inconjunct between Venus and Jupiter, we find passivity and a degree of laziness or love of ease. There is a latent dissatisfaction, a niggling feeling that there must be something more than what we are getting out of social contacts, friendships or love affairs - something more, that is to say, in the expansive sense, not in the transpersonal or spiritual sense typical of Neptune.

What is more, due to uncertainty in social concerns, we often try to be as jovial and cordial as possible in order to win affection and to feel safe with people. On the other hand, we can be so opinionated and willful (Jupiter) that all at once we leave everyone in the lurch to do our own thing. In short, we are quite erratic in our treatment of those around us.

This changeableness poses problems for us, too; for we estrange the very people we need so much to bring us warmth and reassurance, and are left longing for the very thing we have been insidiously undermining.

The craving for warmth and for that everlasting 'more' is an incentive to various love affairs. Probably we shall meet with a number of disappointments but, in the end, we can form a successful union with someone. Before being able to do so, we have to discover that insecurity stems from the fact that natural optimism and confidence (Jupiter) are unconsciously out of step with our methods for ensuring safety in relationships and material things (Venus).

Venus quincunx Jupiter: Venus represents the effect of the mother on the person's psyche, and Jupiter basically represents the ability to relate to others. When the quincunx aspect ties these facets of life together, the resulting strain eventually has an effect on the health. It causes indecisiveness to occur, for the 'I want' part of the self disagrees a little with how this person will relate to others. The aspect can be resolved by understanding the signs and the houses involved. If it remains unconscious, the 'I wants' are never really satisfied and relationships are not all they could be.

Venus opposite Jupiter

The opposition from Venus to Jupiter indicates that you don't trust your competence in dealing with people and circumstances; you are never really sure you can adequately cope with relationships. You are indulgent to others in the hope that they will conform that you are indeed capable. The challenge of constant competition reassures you of your skill in handling even the most demanding problems in your situation. You seek social approval for everything you do, and are upset when it is not forthcoming. Presumptuous in your expectations of others and somewhat conceited, you alienate even your closest friends by boring them with endless trivia about yourself and your affairs. It is a sign of immaturity if your self-regard depends on the approval you extract from your associates.

You are conniving in your dealings with people, and you tend to use them to satisfy your objectives. When you find that you have been used also, you become bitter. You associate with those who approve of you and detach yourself from those who don't. You will go along with any prevailing opinion if it suits your purposes. The only time you compromise is when it costs you little or nothing. Your inconsistency in applying justice is remarkable. And yet, with all these negative tendencies, you can be generous to your benefactors and sympathetic with the problems of your associates.

Business is probably the area of your greatest creative self-expression. You are essentially a wheeler-dealer who enjoys direct contact with adversaries, for competing successfully confirms your competence. Argument, or what you call discussion, is the skill you use most effectively. You know how to charm people and get them to lower their defenses while you prepare their defeat. Not altogether honest in your dealings, you 'bend' the truth when it suits your purposes. You can be hypocritical when it serves your ends.

Your romantic relationships are touch and go - you make sincere-seeming gestures until your lover suggests a more contractual arrangement, when you suddenly lose interest. 'Always a bridesmaid or best man, never a bride or groom' seems particularly appropriate for you. Whether you will be married depends on your willingness to accept the responsibility of such a contract; it isn't that you lack the opportunity.

Venus opposite Jupiter: This aspect indicates that the mother of the native does not relate well to her femininity; she may be going through a period in which she considers herself a second-class citizen during this person's formative years. Jupiter indicates how open we are, how we receive love and beauty, the capacity to relate to others. Because Venus represents how the mother thinks of her femininity and how she is able to perceive love and affection, the opposition between Venus and Jupiter indicates a person who is extravagant and excessive when beginning a love relationship, but the energy is seldom long-lasting. It is a response to the loving-relating function that was learned early in life. It may cause a feeling that love is a compromise, that one's ideals and 'druthers' cannot be fulfilled while relating to another.

A female with this opposition will learn not to accept love easily, nor will she expect that any woman can be appreciated for herself. A male will have little feeling for the feminine principle; often this aspect indicates a male who doesn't appreciate what his wife does in the home to make it attractive; nor does he really appreciate the fact that she loves him, if she does. He may fall in and out of love as does his female counterpart, for he turns on and off. These people bring an expectancy of loss into their love relationships. If they can understand that this attitude can be changed, that they can develop their own expectancies, that the universe is metaphysical, that it gives what one expects; if they understand that the pattern was learned from the mother at a time when she was relating poorly, then they can teach themselves to change. Sometimes this aspect develops a selfishness that needs to be overcome, for it indicates a tendency to want immediate satisfaction to all wants.

This aspect can be analyzed as follows: the Jupiter (relating principle) opposes Venus ('I want' facet of the personality). This can be interpreted as 'I don't relate to what I want', and can be the basis for forming individual relating patterns that are brought about because the person thinks he is able to appreciate his surroundings when in fact he is relating discontent. The aspect can indicate a confusion of goals, and some signs may indicate an inability to reach the goals desired.

The trick to working with the energy is learned when the different phases of life are understood so that both sides of the opposition can be expressed in the appropriate time and place.

As in all Venus/ Jupiter aspects, self-discipline is not a strong point, yet this is just what we need in order to keep our liveliness within bounds.
