My wife has Pluto and Uranus in her fifth house. Our relationship began as a friendship but as Jupiter conjunct her Pluto things began become more emotional and obsessive. Then Jupiter hit her Uranus and *bang* it all blew up. She left her then-partner and we became an item. We got married. We had kids.

Twelve years later and Jupiter's beginning the same transit. It hit her Pluto in the fifth house and she became infatuated with a guy at our kids' school. Then Jupiter hits her Uranus and *bang* it blows up. We divorce. She's now in some kind of on/off limbo relationship with him.

During the fall-out Neptune has been conjunct my natal Jupiter. It certainly feels as though all Neptune's unreal attributes have enhanced themselves within me and my experience of the world to the nth degree.

Maybe its a subtle distinction, however I'm wondering if Jupiter is less about "good luck" as he is inflating dramatically the qualities of what he's transiting for good or ill - almost like the cosmic equivalent of someone pushing down one of those cartoon TNT detonators.

Apologies if this has been discussed to death - please feel free to move to "Beginners Astrology" if need be.

I feel this article helps understand jupiter at a deeper level beyond this stereotype of it been lucky: http://www.thoughtco.com/your-luckiest-year-the-jupiter-return-207216

It seems that if you are aligned with what you are suppose to be doing then jupiter can help you along the way and bring you "luck" but if you are not jupiter can operate more like saturn or pluto bringing loss and hard lessons that can help bring you back on track with your true purpose.

Ultimately Jupiter wants to expand your world and perception and this doesnt always happen with positive experiences.

What does pluto rule in her chart?
