Jupiter in Sagittarius in the Twelfth House

The placement of Jupiter in Sagittarius indicates that you are inclined toward an enthusiastic mode of expansiveness that you see as beneficial to you. This often manifests as your expansion into an arena that is attractive to you and which you may see as full of opportunity, adventure and fun. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Jupiter in Sagittarius are a result of the almost inexhaustible energy that you have to devote to expansive endeavors.

As an individual with Jupiter in Sagittarius, you tend to understand the world and humanity’s place in it in global terms. Your worldview tends to be broad view and philosophical. You are almost certain to try to understand the entire situation before you move expansively into  an arena.

The placement of Jupiter in Sagittarius is generally favorable, since Jupiter rules Sagittarius and is, therefore, symbolically at home in the sign. Sagittarius is the Mutable Fire sign. The changeable fiery energy associated with Sagittarius frees and empowers the expansive energy represented by Jupiter. Thus, the functions symbolized by Jupiter are usually able to operate energetically. The inherent danger in the Jupiter in Sagittarius placement is that the overabundance of expansive fire energy can lead to over-confidence and excess.

Insecurities

With Jupiter in Sagittarius, you are aware of both your animal nature and the Divine within you and are torn between the two. You may understand both to be good in their way, but they seem incompatible. You are not secure enough in your selfhood to reject either and your ego fears the self-transcendent approach that could transform your animal nature and resolve the conflict. Unable to handle the tension between the two, having Jupiter in Sagittarius, you are likely to make an extreme choice. Generally, this will be throwing yourself headlong into the sensual pursuits, but you may also radically and unrealistically abandon the world for some “spiritual quest” or other fanatical mission.

Jupiter in the 12th House:

Jupiter in the 12th House has the potential to be either a difficult or a fruitful placement for Jupiter, depending upon your orientation. Generally, if you are focused on spirituality, you are likely to experience the greatest benefit from the activities associated with Jupiter in the 12th House. Although Jupiter was once considered a co-ruler of this house, the 12th House is also square to the Ninth House, which Jupiter naturally rules. The potential difficulties in the Jupiter in the 12th House placement stem from Jupiter’s association with the concrete – with this world – as opposed to the 12th House association with the dissipation or transcendence of that which is definite and “concrete.”

The natural energy represented by Jupiter is that of growth through assimilation or expansion into or over something. The 12th House, on the other hand, represents a sphere of life in which the emphasis is on taking away, not adding to.  What is represented by the 12th House may be very troubling for you, since you may wish to assimilate what cannot be collected together, to understand what passes understanding or to enjoy what seems to be ever beyond your grasp or constantly dissipating away. Traditionally viewed as the house of sorrow and suffering, placement of Jupiter in the 12th House may suggest a loss of abundance, enjoyment and benefit. It may symbolize the voluntarily or involuntarily sacrifice of your comfort, your wealth or your happiness.

However, having Jupiter in the 12th House, everything changes if your orientation is toward spirituality and selflessness. The 12th House then becomes the most fortunate placement for Jupiter, signifying an abundance of Grace and an open door into the secrets of the Self and of the Universe. As an individual with Jupiter in the 12th House, if you turn away from concern about your own welfare or you turn your attention toward a Higher Power during times of adversity, Jupiter may represent a soothing comfort and a promise of true happiness once the material coverings of the soul have been shed. If you are religiously inclined, your religion is apt to take the form of piety, humility and supplication. With Jupiter in the 12th House, you may have a strong belief in fate and the virtue of surrendering to a Higher Power. This is likely to produce an attitude of contentment and acceptance, allowing you to go through your fate, even if it involves suffering or loss, with a positive and cheerful attitude.

Focus of Growth and Expansion

Having Jupiter in the 12th House, growth and expansion are likely to occur in reference to the unknown. This may take the form of inner growth through growing awareness of your own psychological or spiritual dimensions. It may suggest growth that is accomplished through suffering, particularly when you face the future as unknown.  Growth may also occur through gaining understanding of the unknown. With Jupiter in the 12th House, you may have a great desire to explore what remains hidden or inaccessible and to understand what is mysterious. Thus, you may be attracted to study, and possibly teach, in the areas of religion, psychology or spiritualism.

Focus of Well-Being

The placement of Jupiter in the 12th House suggests that you attain well-being when you retire into yourself and you become comfortable with your solitude. Well-being may also come to you from mysterious sources or, seemingly, through an act of fate. Jupiter in the 12th House may also symbolize well-being as comfort during times of suffering or uncertainty.
