Venus Square or Opposite Jupiter
© 2005 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Venus square or opposite your natal Jupiter. This transit more than any other promotes gluttony. You may be more self indulgent and lazy than usual and may have a tendency to go against common sense in your purchases. Spending tends to be on the increase and you may go into greater debt. Occasionally this transit coincides with awkward social situations that can lead to embarassment (particularly if moderation is lacking) especially at parties or social events. If you host a party now, make sure your plans are realistic and that things do not get out of control. Occasionally this indicates a social situation where unforseen cultural issues become the source of a clash between groups of people, usually not serious, but sort of like serving hamburgers to followers of hinduism. Try to be aware of the social customs of others especially if you happen to be traveling to a foreign land now.
More on determining planetary condition...
If Jupiter is lord of your first house, you are likely to be very self indulgent during this period and end up gaining some weight as a result. Overindulgence may being about some unpleasant consequences, such as a hangover.
If lord of the 2nd, be careful about careless spending. This tends to be a very wasteful combination and you may feel like you were ripped off later. Accounting practices are usually too lax.
If lord of the 3rd, neighbors and relatives may try to impose upon your generosity. You will probably have a hard time saying no. Sometimes indicates socially tense situations that appear pleasant on the surface.
If lord of the 4th, you are not likely to stray far from home during this period and will probably feel pleasantly lazy. Try not to be too much of a leech upon those who support you.
If lord of the 5th, new love relationships may form during this period, but often one of you has an unhealthy attitude or unrealistic expectation of what the relationship is about. Sometimes indicates childbirth.
If lord of the 6th, you may have coworkers who are lazy and depend too much upon you now. You may be trying to avoid someone, or someone in the office may be trying to avoid you, in order to preserve the peace.
If lord of the 7th, this is usually a pleasant period in relationships, but occasionally someone with an unrealistic expectation oversteps their bounds and creates a tension that reluctantly needs addressing.
If lord of the 8th, may indicate benefits through death or inheritance, but with a catch. Lenders probably should not be trusted. Not the best time to seek a loan.
If lord of the 9th, relationships with people from other cultures tend to expose your ignorance of foreign customs now. You may feel uncomfortable around others who do not share your background.
If lord of the 10th, this is usually a fairly positive influence upon your career so long as you do not promise more than you can deliver. Avoid imposing yourself on others.
If lord of the 11th, social connections made now have the potential to further your career goals, but may have strings or favors attached to you later. Social gatherings tend to be more formal.
If lord of the 12th, you will probably have a tendency to procrastinate during this period, and if ever there was a good time for procrastination, this is it.
