For the last couple months I've been experiencing the dual effects of Jupiter and Saturn transits to the Ascendant of my birth chart. Jupiter has been in transit conjunct my Asc 17VIR14, and Saturn square it. (In addition secondary progressed Asc has been conjunct sec.prog. Jupiter).

This has been a time of concentrated learning that has culminated in at least one decision to let go of a project (housing blog), allowing a small failure so I can get back some happiness. It may not be the only such decision needed to achieve that. There's been no doubt of the more jovial, energizing influence of Jupiter, but its optimism led me to overreach in what I was taking on.

The best one can hope for from Jupiter is a feeling of greater benevolence, and optimism. Optimism means a larger, clearer perspective on life.

I have a couple friends who are really outgoing and are like people magnets, but I can see their struggles with balance with the Jupiter opposite Saturn they both have. (Both have the same birth date - 27 Jan 1970).

One (male) has long lived like a recluse in spite of his natural people magnetism; he has big ideas but stays stuck in a conservative area where he doesn't seem to belong.

The other (female) has perhaps as much people magnetism, but the ending of her first marriage in 1996 seemed to set off an anxiety-depression syndrome she later told me is a degree of bi-polar.

It seems it is easier to say 'yes' in the mind (realm of imagination), but find blocks or frustrations in the realm of the material and/or social worlds where people want stability and security rather than high falutin' ideals to fulfill. When we say 'yes' to ourselves, but find society saying 'no' it can turn an extrovert more in to themselves.

Ultimately, Saturn is not 'bad guy', but the leaden reality of how much work something will actually be. An encounter with its energies full-on may mark the point of decision in which we decide it is not worth the effort or sacrifices.

We all want to hear 'yes' all the time as Jupiter's jovial nature speaks in terms of possibilities, open doors, growth. But there can be no continual growth. Growth is cyclical because it involves work from which one must rest.

Jupiter would seem to be like hot air inflating the structure (Saturn) of a balloon. At some point you have to accept the limits of that particular structure, otherwise the balloon pops.

The confusion often comes in with the awareness of 'nothing is impossible' where many things may actually not be possible for me as an individual at all. This is the strange place of cleavage between the spirit's unity with everything, and the ego's desire to be the one that does it.

here something readable...how the jupiter square saturn affect my life :

- Jupiter : my jupiter is right now exactly on my virgo ascendant : Feeling regenerated with the trine from pluto in capricorn in someway, doing some sport make pop muscle immediatly

- Saturn : hard work for little result...i cannot work as efficiently as i worked just before this square. i was much more productive on my daily task and amount of job done.

- saturn+jupiter in square: i feel optimistic sometimes then feel depressed...
