Sun Square or Opposite Jupiter
© 2004 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Sun square or opposite your natal Jupiter. This is a time when your perspective of your abilities is likely to be warped. You probably have unrealistic expectations of your abilities and are prone to think that you are more powerful than you really are. Financially, this is often a time of waste and extravagance. There is the tendency now to overlook the negative and believe (with or without merit) that things will work out ok in the long run. Just make sure that you don't overdo it! The main principle you should follow now is "moderation in everything". If you feel oppressed, you are likely to go overboard and become impertinent. You may assume a status that is above your true standing which will appear arrogant, self righteous and domineering to others. You are likely to encounter alot of opposition if you allow this to happen. If you are able to maintain proper perspective, then this should be a time of advancement and professional success. The question is will you be satisfied?
