I on the other hand with mercury retro in virgo in the 9th and Jupiter conjunct Uranus in sag have a great sense of humor, I like witty humor the most but also enjoy a good sarcasm.

My partner with Jupiter in virgo in the 5th is actually very funny himself, he can make you laugh on the spot, it comes naturally to him. He also has mercury in scorpio and he enjoys dark humor a lot.

My dad has Jupiter conjunct mercury in aquarius, he likes to joke around but it comes and goes in sprouts, he gets into joking moods, its not an ongoing daily thing but shows up often enough that you can say he enjoys joking around from time to time. His jokes are odd but I get them and enjoy them.

What kind of humor it is and how prominent it is depends on how strong the natal Mercury is and what planets it aspects.

I noticed for example that people who have Mercury, Saturn and Uranus in hard aspect with each other usually have a dry sense of humor with quick, sarcastic responses.

Do you know someone, who is easy to talk to and can pull a joke or two out of every (even very bad situation)? Chances are this person has either well placed and aspected Mercury or Jupiter in natal chart.

When someone asks me what the main astrological indications are that someone has a good sense of humor, I immediately think about Mercury and Jupiter and asteroid Thalia. I already talked about Thalia in another article – in this one I will focus only on Mercury and Jupiter and their placement, aspects in one’s natal chart.

So, why could Mercury and Jupiter be planets that show us one’s ability to be outstanding stand-up comedian?

Mercury is a planet of communication. Speaking, writing, communications of all kinds are Mercury’s domain. It shows the ability how one is able to express oneself. Jupiter, on the other hand, rules higher learning – intellectually and spiritually. It’s ‘the guardian of abstract mind’. So, when those two are well placed in one’s natal chart, there is no doubt that this person for sure is an interesting communication’s partner.

Mercury and/or Jupiter in aspect to:

the Sun: creative and unique sense of humor, maybe a little dramatic even
the Moon: modest, softer sense of humor, a breath of innocence will come with it
Venus: classy and charming sense of humor, extremely polite, not offensive
Mars: immature and sort of boyish sense of humor, could be more on an aggressive side
Saturn: mature and sarcastic sense of humor, sometimes reserved, maybe uncertain
Uranus: shocking and unique sense of humor, sometimes maybe strange and offensive
Neptune: unique yet confusing sense of humor with a lot of imagination
Pluto: intensive, controversial sense of humor, morbid, with lots of taboo topics
to each other: playful and youthful sense of humor, sometimes a bit inappropriate, quirky.

Maybe we could take a look at two great comedians that I really like for their amazing ability to make other people smile and think at the same time. The comedian and actor Jim Carrey (I really love his ability to do outstanding impressions) and comedian & social-critic, known (and loved) for his black comedy George Carlin. They both have very well placed Mercury in an aspect to Jupiter. BUT they also both have extremely well placed Thalia, but I will talk about it in another article.

Jim Carrey has his Mercury in the 3rd House in the sign of Aquarius and: conjuncts Jupiter (with both of them being in “the House of communication” there is no doubt that communication is a major theme of his life), trines Moon (gives him ability to listen other people and feel their emotions), squares Neptune (gives him ability to fantasize, yet this could cause some delusion and instability in his life).

George Carlin, an American stand-up comedian, social critic, regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians has in his natal chart Mercury in 10th House (House of career) in Taurus and: conjuncts Sun (his way of expressing himself is supported by his looks), trines Neptune (gives him crazy amount of creativity), conjuncts Uranus (his ‘out of the blue’ words or statements can shock the audience), and trines Jupiter (which brings him good luck when he speaks and brings him an even bigger audience).

Star Guide To Laughter

Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and Mercury – Cosmic Indicators of Humor

Finding A Smile In Chaotic Times

By Dikki-Jo Mullen

A sense of humor is so much more than comedy or raucous jest. Its development in the broadest sense means the ability to adapt, tolerate and survive while enjoying life in todays high pressure and complex society. The twelve familiar Sun sign groups offer everyone a terrific starting point for understanding and enhancing what good humor can mean to you. Long ago the Native Americans recognized how precious humor is. They had a proverb which went something like this, ” Humor is like salt on meat. It makes all things palatable. “

Recently in the very heavy rush hour traffic in downtown Orlando, Florida, I was stuck behind a young driver who had the same philosophy. Stenciled onto the rear bumper of his incredibly dented and crushed old car, its battered trunk held shut with a bungee cord, were the words Drive Safely. Studying this in front of me, despite the frustration of inching along with Interstate 4 at a pace so slow that it seemed like a parking lot, I smiled.

The pressures and stresses which weigh us down during the course of the daily grind can be lightened, even evaporated entirely, through adding a dash of humor. The most destructive personality types have always been those with no sense of fun. Whether its a sensitive political crisis of global proportions or a more personal crisis rocking ones own little world, a bit of laughter and a lighter attitude can make a vast difference for the better. Studies show that laughter can even improve health and lengthen the life span. Astrologically the planet Jupiter is the primary ruler of humor, but the Moon, Mercury and Venus also relate to this precious quality. To develop your own sense of humor have your astrologer interpret the placement of these planets by house, sign and aspect in your own horoscope.

Jupiter, known as the greater benefic in traditional astrology, shows how to bounce back from challenging situations, grow in new directions and enjoy the good things in life. The Moon rules emotions and moods. It shows you how to be sensitive to your own internal cycles and how to adapt to the emotional climate of the moment. Venus, the lesser benefic, guides us toward enjoyment of leisure hours, friendships, the arts and creature comforts. Mercury offers hints about how to appreciate jokes and funny stories, how to communicate laughter and share it with others and how to project the best attitude toward complex and challenging issues.

Begin to discover the celestial solace of humor by looking at the zodiacal house ruled by Jupiter for your Sun sign (or solar chart). That’s the familiar birth sign we all know. Next consider your Ascendant (rising sign) for deeper insights.

Aries

The 9th house is your gateway to developing humor. Try travel, higher education, and consciously expanding your cultural awareness in order to appreciate lifes lighter qualities. A deepening philosophical and spiritual awareness can help you learn to laugh more often. Ethnic humor and understanding the ways different people around the world view comedy, as well as smiling cheerfully at in-laws (instead of seeing them as outlaws) are ways humor can strengthen and enrich your life. Charlie Chaplin (born April 16, 1889) was a comedic genius who sharpened the Aries potential for humor to a fine art. In creating his silent film Little Tramp character he pioneered a gentle, philosophical appeal which has charmed audiences for over a century.

Taurus

The 8th house shows you how to smile at life. Adopt a less possessive attitude toward love and romance. Keep a sense of humor about your partner or spouses choices concerning finances. Allow him/her to express ideas about purchases and investments. Chalk up any seemingly poor choices up to experience. Focus on forgiving and forgetting. Laugh about the lemons in your past and make lemonade instead of holding onto bad memories or grudges. Jokes or films which focus on the New Age movement can make you smile again. Shirley MacLaine (born April 24, 1934) is a gifted comedienne who also used humor and perspective in accepting romantic disappointments. After her 1987 television series Out On A Limb aired, depicting a variety of psychic and spiritual experiences, Shirley had to laugh at the many jibes her metaphysical beliefs drew from the mainstream media. This she did with flair and aplomb.

Gemini

Cultivate good humor by starting with your 7th house. Married life as well as other one – on – one relationships are the focus here. Legal matters, ethics and expectations can all tickle your funny bone. Societys many unwritten laws can also bring smiles. Clever word plays and puns can help you express and share laughter. Bob Hope (born May 29, 1903) was the perfect example of a witty, observant Gemini comedian. His incomparable monologues drew laughter about the circumstances of relationships and responses. A typical Gemini traveler, Mr. Hope was beloved for his many tours to entertain the troops, military personnel, stationed far from home.

Cancer

The 6th house shows where applying humor can help you. Laughing at health or medical issues, situations with employees or co-workers, and the impact of negative habit patterns are the focus. Jokes about diet or the antics of pets would be apropos. Geraldo Rivera (born July 4, 1943) is a famous Cancer who used humor when pointing out sensitive issues which needed correction. On his popular TV appearances Geraldo would often tackle serious issues and controversy, but use humor to hold attention and maintain goodwill. Phyllis Diller (born July 17, 1917) was another Moon child in the spotlight who drew laughter using family life as a theme. Her husband “Fang” and various domestic dilemmas were immortalized in her stand up routines. Phyllis had a rather ‘loony’ but infectious trademark laugh.

Leo

The 5th house underscores the role of laughter in your life. Children, romance, dramatizing the little peccadilloes of the daily life until become larger than life and absurd typifies the Leo brand of humor. Addressing the inner child, using art as a vehicle for commentary and a touch of love will draw genuine and lasting smiles. Lucille Ball (born August 6, 1911) is a Leo comedienne who accented the 5th house qualities to share brilliant and timeless humor with the world in I Love Lucy.

Virgo

The 4th house emphasizes humor for you. The smiles are subtle yet sensitive. Laughter can involve home, heritage and family life. Make your home décor a little more whimsical. How about adding a funny poster or curtains in a fantasy print? Preserve a scarp book of funny stories from your own childhood. Relate to children or grandchildren the antics of an eccentric relative from a previous generation. Maurice Chevalier (born September 12, 1888) was originally from France. Although he spoke impeccable English he would affect a French accent for comedic purposes. In the classic movie GiGi he became famous when he humorously depicted elements in Parisian society.

Libra

Chuckles come your way through the 3rd house. The funny side of current events in the daily news, conversations, and school days are accented. Smile about situations on campus and in class rooms. Humor and irony shared with a neighbor, brother or sister can brighten your life too. Groucho Marx (born October 2, 1895) created a famous comedy trio with his brothers. Miscommunication, an abundance of nervous energy and surprise revelations all characterized his interpretation of Libran humor in The Marx Brothers.

Scorpio

The 2nd house is your home base for humor. An optimistic attitude about your salable job skills, punctuated by laughter when it comes to expenses and purchases, is the key. Laugh at shopping sprees and your occupation. Living within ones means, humor about a tendency to over extend or the other extreme – laughing at an absurd the Scrooge archetype who would squeeze a penny until it screamed are typical of Scorpio humor. Johnny Carson (born October 23, 1925) often evoked waves of laughter from viewers on his late night TV show by joking about finances related to assembling the show or cost of living. On The Tonight Show backstage personalities and jokes would often surface spontaneously as a humorous focus.

Sagittarius

The 1st house emphasis here makes personal recollections, self image and appearance a key to discovering humor. There is a subjective sensitivity present allowing individual life experiences to broaden and be applied to the challenges met. The humor of teenage and childhood years viewed from the perspective of time can be important. The humor various generations see in those of other age groups might be a factor. Steven Spielberg (born December 18, 1947) immortalized the special humor of personal memories in films such at E.T..

Capricorn

Your humor is buried in the 12th house. This mysterious and hidden portion of the horoscope allows you to eventually find laughter in situations that might at first seem tragic or lonely. Hospital humor, or other wit that is dry, even macabre, can bring a chuckle. Comedienne Barbara Mandrell (born December 25, 1948) has captured this in the skits she used during her musical specials. One that was especially memorable involved a trip to the dentist. A younger actress played a preteen Barbara using a series of ruses to avoid the potentially painful dental check up.

Aquarius

Your 11th house relationship to humor makes you a natural comic. Aquarians have a flair for creating humor that touches the pulse of the public consciousness. Your humor spans the past, present and future. With a universal appeal you can push the laughter buttons associated with whole trends of thought. John Belushi (born January 24, 1949) is identified with the youthful rebel humor and impish nonconformity in the classic films Animal House and The Blues Brothers.

And Hypatia238 thank you for all of the information! Makes sense with all of those planets being involved. I knew moon had to be a part at least in someway processing a joke/humor. After all - laughing, being happy/ excited is an emotion.

My AC forms a tsquare with moon opposite mercury.

A comedian has to be creative, think outside the box and see the bigger picture.

I don't know how much the moon plays a role in humor. My partner has moon in cancer in the 2nd and he is very funny, I dont attribute this to his moon. He is a Libra in mutual reception to Venus in Leo with Venus ruling his chart squaring Uranus and Jupiter in virgo in the 5th house, I find he entertains me with his humor and have always felt he is very creative overall, he also has venus sextile mercury.

However, I have noticed moon in leo folks are often very creative and funny.

Yes love both of them!!! I do love Gemini’s a lot, probably because Gemini is in my 11th house. (Aqua Desc - 11th house is secondary Desc/7th)
