The reason I ask are because of 2 reasons:

1.) I thought that the outer planets played a less significant role in your life compared to the main celestial bodies being, obviously the sun, next the Moon, rising, and the rest of the inner planets.

2.) I'm a Jupiter in Cancer, Gemini Sun, but sometimes I feel like I'm more of a Cancer than I am a Gemini. I can typically read people like a book, sense feelings very easily, and even "feel" what people are thinking a lot of times. I'm also Jupiter Conjunct my Friend's Cancer Sun, and I feel like I'm more like a Cancer Sun sign like him a lot of times, or in a lot of scenarios than my actual Sun sign. I also don't really have a whole lot of Cancer placements in my chart either. It's mostly Scorpio actually. Only Cancer placements are Chiron in Cancer in the 9th, North Node in Aquarius in the 4th, and Jupiter in Cancer in the 9th. My Chiron also conjuncts my Jupiter in Cancer, both in the 9th.

It's not really near the ascendant either, and it's closest to my Midheaven in Leo. Does this mean that any particular of area of my life that I consider "work oriented" that it means that Cancer is heavily going to make its presence known? What about the fact that I have all of these aspects?

Moon Sextile NN
Moon Square Neptune
Moon Square Uranus
Moon Conjunct Mars (Aries)
Moon Sextile Mercury

and astro.com says that I have more Neptune aspects than I do Moon, even if it is just 1 more.

I don't know why though, but I feel as if I'm growing more into a Cancer the older that I get. Is this because I'm almost a Cusp Gemini? Or is this more of the result of such a big planet influence like, Jupiter for example, being in an exalted placement like Jupiter in Cancer?

From wikipedia:

"Since Jupiter is exalted at 5° Cancer this signifies "deep" exaltation in the heart of the Dharma pāda of Pushya Nakshatra in the sign of Cancer which provides the astronomical reasoning of Jupiters exaltation degree. Esoterically speaking, when Jupiter is in Cancer (which signifies the heart), and is being influenced by Bṛhaspati (the teacher of the Gods), and is directed toward righteous action (Dharma pāda) Jupiter is functioning in 100% exaltation, concerning everything Jupiter represents."

Not sure what you mean by parallel Sun. I suppose this is something I have never looked into as far as astrology. I believe I'm a Sun Square Moon, to a lighter degree. They're both at a little more than an 81 degree aspect. I suppose it's still considered a square, although I'm not sure to what degree what exactly the prominence is with it.

Planets can express their energy more easy in certain signs because it’s more in alignment with that particular energy. This is also known as planetary or essential dignities, you can google it for more info. Planetary energy expresses itself best when they are in domicile, the sign that the planet rules. Jupiter is in its domicile in Sagittarius and Pisces (traditional). But another sign where it expresses its energy comfortably is Cancer, where Jupiter is exalted. It’s not as strong as domicile where the planet rules but when in exaltation the planet is received as an honored guest. When a planet is in a sign where their energy is easily expressed it becomes more dominant in your personality.

In the opposite signs the planet has more difficulty expressing its energy. Jupiter is in detriment in Gemini and Virgo. Jupiter is in fall in Capricorn. When you have Jupiter in these signs in your birth chart you can struggle with expressing the Jupiter side of your personality. I hope this helps.

Scorpio probably would be a better with teams and more practical because they would know how to manipulate them and get what they want. But I don’t navigate social situations as Libra.
However, I have much going on around my axises so I might give contradicting impressions..

So what is your Jupiter?

Cool. I was looking for more specifics, because I know Jupiter is exalted in Cancer.

It was more of a question of the overall bearing it has on a person's chart compared to their Sun, rising, and Moon mainly. I wish to understand it's true influence. I sort of feel like everyone is kind of saying the same things over again. No offense, just the way I feel.

@henryhampton, in another post you mentioned that your Moon is in aspect to your Ascendant. Inconjunct is a minor aspect but if it’s in a tight orb it could still be an important influence. As someone else mentioned, your Moon could also be parallel your Ascendant or Sun. You need to check the declinations in your natal chart to see if there are any parallels. I have my Cancer Mars parallel my Gemini Mercury. In my natal chart my Mercury is at a declination of 22N45 and my Mars is at a declination of 22N42.

Maybe you could also check your draconian chart. If you enter your birth chart on the website of Astro.com, it’s one of the options available. Your draconian chart is linked to your north node and your soul’s purpose. Maybe there is a strong Cancer influence in that chart.

A draconian birth chart is not so much a different system to Placidus but more an added layer. It’s an option available at the options for zodiac and houses, instead of Tropical you can check the option for Draconic. However, you should use what you feel comfortable with. For me, it was a confirmation of certain patterns in my birth chart. For example, I have a Libra Ascendant and in draco I have a Libra Sun. My IC is in Capricorn and my draco Moon is in Capricorn.

Ok, I found the additional tables PDF file, but I don't know how to check for "parallel" planets. Is this a certain degree like a conjunction? What is a "parallel?" Do I just match the declinations of each planets and if they're at the same declination that means that they're parallel?

Yeah, it did get lost. but that's ok, at least I know. Interesting that that's how others see you as though. I suppose it makes sense since Jupiter to me is kind of like a mini sun in that it expands everything it touches. You're probably very zany if I had to guess. What do I know though? I typically want to know things so specifically that someone else's specifics are my "surface" if that makes any sense lol. I'm an extremely specific individual. I'm the type of person that I'd have a field day with a 10 page essay of a specific point in general. Aka: you can't be specific enough with me. Mercury in the 8th isn't satisfied until it can see the very molecules themselves moving around, and even then it has severe questioning. I find it hard to find the right amount of words to explain anything that I want to explain to anyone. Words can't technically do it justice in my opinion. Show me! Show it! What is "it??!"" What is it?!

It really is a special planet because not everybody is born with natural faith and optimistic vision, it definitely invokes your higher thought. I actually have to remember not everyone is as courageous or restless as me, which can be a bit of a bummer. Going full nerd but Mars trine Jupiter has saved my butt countless times. What I've noticed about this aspect is that it bestows really good physical health and almost unlimited energy. I wish everyone had Mars Trine Jupiter. It makes you a warrior for the people and a fighter for what you believe in. It's inspiring. Most of the time a person with this aspect grants good timing with a desire to live without fear. Don't mess with somebody with this aspect. They are like a Jedi. I don't even think Mars/Pluto can compete with this aspect because mostly we have abundant energy we can always tap into. Fear isn't in our vocabulary!!! God bless

Yeah I can imagine Jupiter inside of Jupiter is like some kind of supernova, and then when Mars is added into the mix, it pretty much sounds like game over to me. lol. It's probably overkill. And that's saying something from a Moon Conjunct Mars.

Jupiter is a special planet, just like the Sun, it bestows great wisdom, life, and an abundance of optimism. Afterall, Sagittarius are the explorers or adventurers of the zodiac. Whatever Scorpio brings to the table, Sagittarius goes on an expedition with it. Pisces expands with everything because they understand all and nothing better than any other sign.

But I'm a bit confused because in the other thread on Moon quincunx Asc you talk about not trusting your feelings, yet here you talk about reading people quite well through 'feeling'.
