A lot is made of the saturn return thru the chart, but what about Jupiter?

I have Jupiter in aries (12/15/63, 8:20 PM, Peoria,IL )and am seeing a huge

upheaval in my life. Can you tell me more about this?


It's easier for me to think in terms of a Jupiter return in a particular sign for some reason, but I would have to say that simply...it's the return of the King. There's plenty of good information out there about the symbolism of the planet...and my favorite is Steven Forrest's take on Jupiter as the King function in our lives.

What that might mean to any sign is something like having the King return to the Castle after a 12 year absence. Things have been going along one way or another...and now that his majesty is back...they're going to be awfully different. Remember what happened while Richard the Lion Heart was away in the Crusades. Robin Hood was busy...and so was Prince John. Basil Rathbone was pretty busy, too...but let's not go any further into that darkness...as much fun as that movie is. Besides, that's Jupiter in Leo.

We've got a Royal Warrior in this Aries character. But I don't think of him as Richard so much. That would be too British and too polite. Aries is courageous and loyal...but NOT polite. That rules out Arthur as well. Aries and Chivalry just don't seem to make sense. What hits it for me is something more primal and something that predates chivalry. Vercingetorix makes a lot of sense...but I don't remember my Caesar all that well. We'll just have to settle for a Viking prince. Ernest Borgnine and Kirk Douglas did a pretty good job of this in their movie, "The Vikings". You'll have to supply your own visuals...but you get the idea. Drinking, eating, raping and pillaging pretty well covers one side of the Jupiter in Aries coin. This Jupiter return in a paradoxical sense is more of a return to adventure instead of a return to a safe and secure fijord.

Something tells me that the activation of the Square to the Dragon's Head in Cancer is the root of the problem of upheaval in your life. Astrologically, you are the Extravert par excellence. Not one single planet in your chart is retrograde...and this Square to Cancer indicates the powerful need to integrate the depths of emotion and feelings that come from that final voyage through the eerie calm of Pisces. Dealing with your reasonably powerful intuitive side (that 4th House Neptune in Scorpio) is less of a problem than you think. Giving it space and time is another thing. That's the very edge of the world for you. It's like the edge of the sea where the dragons and sea monsters are ready to eat you and your crew alive. A dense fog and an eerie silence where you really can feel your emotions welling up from your belly...and where the felt sense of falling off the edge of the sea into oblivion is palpable. It may require some of that bravado you use in most other situations.... But if you can brave the necessity of being alone with yourself...you're going to discover a genuinely New World on this voyage.
