The placement of Jupiter in Aquarius indicates that you are inclined toward an original and individualistic mode of expansiveness. This sometimes manifests as you adopting an unconventional mode of expansion or as your expansion into unconventional arenas. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Jupiter in Aquarius are a result of your need to expand in ways that enhance your individuality or enhance the impact that you, as an individual, may have for the benefit of the greater whole.

Having Jupiter in Aquarius, you tend to understand the world and humanity’s place in terms of the individual’s responsibility to society or the way in which you, as an individual, are defined by your differences. With Jupiter in Aquarius, your worldview tends to be one, which provides you with an original and unconventional understanding of the universe through which you grasp the form and structure of the cosmos. You are almost certain to try to understand how your individual freedom may be affected or how you may benefit society before you move expansively into an arena.

The placement of Jupiter in Aquarius is generally full of opportunity. This is symbolized by the natural sextile between Aquarius and Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius.  Aquarius is the Fixed Air sign and the sure mental energy associated with Aquarius symbolically provides the expansive functions represented by Jupiter with both freedom and direction. There is some inherent tension in the Jupiter in Aquarius placement, however.  While the Jupiter function responds well to the pull to grow beyond the personal that is associated with Aquarian abstractness, conflict may arise between the natural commitment to the established order symbolized by Jupiter and the typical Aquarian disdain for that order. Ideally, this tension is manifested creatively.

Insecurities

With Jupiter in Aquarius, the tension of creating change within the established order is too much for you. You are too insecure to hold your own individual identity while conforming to society’s mores and expectations. You need to actively and expansively see your individuality expressed in order to validate your self-identity. Your inability to live within the bounds of societal propriety may lead you to revolt and reject the established order and give yourself up to uncontrolled and excessive unconventionality and change.

Jupiter in the 8th House:

Jupiter in the 8th House is at somewhat of a disadvantage, due to the private and introverted tendencies associated with the 8th house. Jupiter is associated with expansion and outgoingness, so its energy is not the best fit for the 8th House. Nevertheless, Jupiter symbolizes beneficence wherever it occurs in the chart. Thus, with Jupiter in the 8th House you can expect that enjoyment, good fortune and engagement will proceed from your 8th House activities.

These activities certainly include, but are not limited to, sexuality and other intimate qualities of relationship. The 8th House is also associated with the  exercise of power and close dealings with people through organization and management, shared resources and resources or security that are derived from others,  birth and death, the study of the occult or the attempt to unify with a primal power,  and regenerative activities. Your attitude with respect to any of these activities will generally be one of enjoyment and pursuit with gusto. You are likely to take an expansive role when engaged in these activities and you have the opportunity to expand your horizons and grow personally through any of these activities. With Jupiter in the 8th House, you may also seek growth and understanding as a means of regeneration or as a means of bringing yourself in touch with your inner power.

You may also have a tendency to engage excessively in 8th House activities and this is one of the primary dangers of Jupiter in the 8th House. You may use the activities associated with the 8th House as substitutes for facing problems and challenges – such activities become an avenue to “take the easy way out.” You may also sometimes appear shy or aloof because you take so much pleasure in private, intimate affairs.

Focus for Expansion and Growth

With Jupiter in the 8th House, your expansive tendencies will manifest as you acquire greater intimacy with yourself and with your social surroundings. This will also allow you to more effectively engage in growth-producing activities. These may include managing others or the maturation of primary personal relationships. You may also experience growth and expanded horizons through the agency of others, particularly when resources are shared or bequeathed. Having Jupiter in the 8th House, you may experience some frustration if you have difficulty manifesting your expansive energies. If you are unable to express the fruits of the internal growth that you have achieved, you may feel inadequate and worthless or unappreciated by society.

Focus of Well-Being

As an individual with Jupiter in the 8th House, your feelings of well-being, generosity and good fortune will appear most often and be enhanced in intimate settings or when you are engaged in sharing or managing others’ resources. This sense of well-being may not be externally expressed, as much as it is internally felt. You may experience this sense of well-being more often as a rejuvenation or regeneration of energy and spirit.
