Lesson 1: Design Your Dream Relationship
Jupiter: Your Risk-Taking GPS
My Jupiter is in (zodiac sign): _________________________
Bigger, stronger, faster! Jupiter is a bit of a size queen (gulp), inspiring us to grow and expand. Often this involves risk and stepping outside the safety zone. Your Jupiter sign reveals how comfortable you are taking a gamble in the game of love. Jupiter’s larger-than-life influence can also help you shine! Like Venus, Jupiter is one of the great "benefics"; a planet that has a mainly positive affect in our charts. If you need to do some passionate “peacocking,” your Jupiter sign will reveal ways to fan your feathers for maximum impact. Depending on its placement in your chart, worldly Jupiter may reveal a desire to date cross-culturally...OR find someone who shares your religious/spiritual values.
There’s definitely a paradox with this planet as it can cause you to swing wildly from the enlightened seeker to the straight-up hedonist. But if you don’t make mistakes how will you ever learn? Maybe you stick your hands in the fire a few times before realizing it burns. At least you’ll understand the concept of heat and passion in the process! Thankfully, this planet embraces experiential learning, self-development and vision quests. Like Beyonce’s journey from “Love Drought” to “Daddy Lessons,” your Jupiter sign can teach you how to make lemons into lemonade during rocky times.
