Moon in hard aspect to Jupiter in the natal chart

[rietje1]

Hey everyone!

I've been away for a while and struggled finding new inspiration. But I have uploaded an older video on having the Moon in hard aspect to Jupiter in the natal chart. I'm especially amazed at how often I saw this in the chart of beauty bloggers/youtubers and other beauty-related social media figures. (after a comment, started checking more and yep.)

Anyway please check it out.

In the meantime I've been trying to get my audio to be better.

Nice video, rietje1 ...I haven't watched it all, only about half. (I never watch long videos in one sitting, please don't be offended). 

The audio is better and you kept my interest.

I've been thinking about Jupiter lately, it's squaring my moon exactly at the moment, and I've been overwhelmed with all the school stuff I have to be doing with my children lately (end of the year, getting ready for summer and next year).

My youngest son got me thinking about Jupiter last night, because he had learned a lot that day, and he went to bed saying over and over, "I'm so HAPPY. I'm just so HAPPY!" He had gotten a new Lego set, and for the first time, he assembled the whole thing completely by himself. He even climbed up on a chair so he could get the bowls from the cabinet, to unload all the different packs of Legos into, and he cut the packs up, etc. Usually he would ask for help at some point with something, but he was feeling independent and achieved this, all self-driven.

So I think, by "happy" he meant "satisfied." It's that particular kind of happiness you get when you learn something. You expand, because you've expanded your range of capabilities. And I think everyone has an appetite for this satisfaction, but to varying degrees, or with varying levels of consistency. Some are only conscious of this appetite under certain conditions. I think a bit of achievement can work like an "appetizer" that stokes the appetite and makes a person crave even more achievement.

I guess that's all pretty obvious, but I've just been tinkering with the notion that perhaps Jupiter is a factor in all this?

Well I see my son's progressed moon is @ 24° Sag, so it was hit with that full moon yesterday. I think transiting Mars in Cancer, trine my son's Pisces Jupiter, also gave him a leg-up when it came to taking action and advancing. (Mars in Cancer is of course a moon energy, so this is slightly still on topic.)

Anyway, if we consider Jupiter as the energy that wants to accumulate not just mental facts but a deeper kind of learning, like technical know-how and the ability to establish one's self capably in the world...Jupiter as a kind of self-sufficiency, or way of drawing power to one's self...then the happiness associated with Jupiter is more a matter of karma almost, where you get what you have worked for. You "won" because you took the time to master the game. Then you can fully bask in this sense that the archetypal (?) principle of justice has demonstrated itself...it's like all is right with the world.

I don't know about others but I just find it thrilling when there appear to be universal, spiritual laws that are in effect. And I think Jupiter helps us learn about our own placement within that grand design. I mean it's about realization in both senses of the world: we realize something (learn) when we are making things real (manifesting, maybe even channeling, at higher frequencies).

I do think Jupiter is spiritual and the traditional rulership of Pisces is good to keep in mind. Jupiter is a gas planet, so it's barely even there as a substantial object; more like a massive, spherical angel.

When the moon connects with Jupiter, then the highs and lows of the struggles to learn and achieve new things could be exaggerated. 

Recently I had coffee with a friend whose Scorpio Jupiter opposes her moon in Taurus. She was telling me that she puts herself under constant stress because she feels she doesn't do enough for people/animals/the planet. If you heard her stories you would marvel that anyone like her could ever feel this way. 

Well the Jupiter in Scorpio is seeking out death, I mean she will pull over and make sure an animal that got hit by a car is actually dead, and attempt a rescue effort if there's any chance for the animal, crying all the while. Obviously the Taurus moon is not going to be all cozy and comfortable, being attached as it is to Scorpio Jupiter and its dark curriculum.

Yet of all the people I know, she is one of the very few who is blissfully happy in her romantic relationship, and this has been ongoing for years. I think the HEART, in a moon-Jupiter person, is designed for expansion. So, one might say, high drama can suit them, and success within that high-drama scheme is the particular challenge. 

Beauty blogging seems appropriate...makeup is theatrical...one is preparing to meet the world as if it's a stage, and this person is the star. The moon (emotions) are very attuned to grandeur, needing to engage with it. And straightforwardly, it's femininity (moon) meets teaching (Jupiter).

There does always seem to be a problem, matched with a rather splendid "rising above."

Sorry this was long! 

Pls don't quote, I will probably edit, I was just sorting out my thoughts.

Hey that's fine, I'm glad the parts you got to watch, you enjoyed!

I think you're right about Jupiter/Sagittarius needing to learn something to be happy. Expand on something. I guess improving maybe? Though in a different way from Virgo. Like, Virgo is thinking about the result (I'm going to get better!!) while Sagittarius is about the journey (how I gathered more knowledge and grow).

Aww your son is so cute! So cool he went to do all of that by himself! I guess Jupiter gave him a nice confidence boost!! And I think that's a big thing for Jupiter-dominant/Sag people, they want to be happy. Like, yeah, of course we all do (most of us), but for Sagittarius, it's like a need. Jupiter the happy planet. Could be for Pisces, too, then, like you said with sharing a traditional ruler, though I think Pisces mostly likes being content. Life is fine to just breeze/float through. And yes the Cancer thing is on topic! I agree that Mars gave him some drive to really get into action! Even for a water sign.

True I think Jupiter/Sag NEEDS to learn. Like, it's not an option. Life and learning isn't static and without really something to learn more about, they seem to get kind of lost? Or just nervous. That and the happy thing. I have a theory these two things are just that big of a need. Every sign has something that really cuts deep, even if it's something most of us would struggle with. Like aside from Sag, I've found that Taurus-heavy people get reallly upset and stressed out when they have financial problems. More than usual. Cancer when not feeling like they have a tribe they belong in, Capricorn when they don't have any kind of goal and get through the day aimlessly. Etc.

Your friend's story is just woooow. Exactly what you'd think of Scorpio Jupiter. It really feels like a sense of duty to her, doesn't it? Jupiter and the Scorpio energy exaggerating the moon (need to nurture). Yes good point on that in some people, Moon-Jupiter makes them want to experience a lot of intense emotions.

And lol I saw Taylor Swift in the list and yepp haha. Marilyn and Whitney maybe had that need for more intense emotions?

Ok I think I'm done haha. It was long but it wasn't hard to get through your post at all, I enjoyed reading it!!

And the funniest thing, someone pointed out to me in a comment that I posted that video during a Moon-Jupiter conjunction! Like, mind blown right?

Thanks, rietje1, for pouring through all of that.

I'm still thinking of Jupiter, just been busy and scatterbrained.

Transiting draconic Chiron is conjunct Jupiter at the moment. (Do you pay attention to draconic? I thought you did, but I'm not sure)...I have been wondering what effect that has on the general atmosphere. Well I think Chiron is about learning anyway: learning to sublimate your injuries into an ability to heal. So it probably dovetails nicely with Jupiter. Maybe this accounts for the fact that I've been wanting to look at life more through a Jupiter lens lately....like there's a window of opportunity to consider it from different angles.

Anyway I wanted to thank you for this observation:

"Every sign has something that really cuts deep, even if it's something most of us would struggle with. Like aside from Sag, I've found that Taurus-heavy people get reallly upset and stressed out when they have financial problems. More than usual.

So true. I need ambition. I think Caps have to feel like they are doing something meaningful, even if that's just considering for a long time and in depth what ought to be meaningful. Attaining a sense of meaning can be the goal. This might explain how some Caps are actually pretty lazy and not apparently hardworking at all (YouTube comment sections under Cap videos are usually riddled with comments like, "Not me, I'm not a workaholic.") The "vision quest" can be the compulsiveness, even if it's drugs or whatever.

Ohh hope you can figure it out. Jupiter and scatterbrained maybe. I do check draconic now and then but it's not my forte, mostly just don't really understand how it all works. Chiron-Jupiter is absolutely good for healing and getting/being that teacher who knows what they're talking about, because they've been there themselves. And yesss that's totally tapping into Jupiter! You're seeing an opportunity to learn more and you're taking it!!

And yes good point. That's... actually explaining a lot about why some are very lazy. It could just end at making the plans. Of course and other stuff in the chart. Pff oh it's always there on youtube comments, on message boards, there's always the 'I'm a X and nothing like that!!" people. The reason I made my first video.

Hmm if it's more like that then that sounds more like a Neptune affliction, though. Maybe it works together? Like if Cap #1 has a lot of signature in their chart about being indeed hard-working, goal-oriented, etc., they will more likely express that side of Cap while Cap #2 with tons of Jupiter and Neptune afflictions in the chart, and possibly Mars in a weak spot, would be the total opposite?
