Your Jupiter in Depth

Without talking to the person, it is hard to know which level Jupiter lands on in that life, and this is also the restraint we kept in writing Your Jupiter in Depth. On your Jupiter sign, the report does not decide for you which level it lands on; it gives a sentence or two on roughly what each of the four levels looks like in this sign, and asks you to compare for yourself. On Jupiter and Saturn, it follows the view of Chapter 2 and looks at what supports each side in your chart: whether there is an aspect between Jupiter and Saturn, whether Saturn touches your Moon, Mars, Ascendant and Midheaven, and whether any planet falls in a sign that can rein in extravagance. It gives no scores and does not say which side is stronger by how much.

As for timing, Jupiter returns to its place about every twelve years. The report sets out the returns of your whole life in a table, describes the next return, and also the points in your chart that transiting Jupiter will touch over the next two years, with the dates calculated precisely by software. If in these years any of transiting Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto is touching your Jupiter, the report has a separate section that follows the view of Chapter 11 to describe this longer, deeper change. From start to finish it looks only at Jupiter and the planets Jupiter draws in; the rest of the chart is not part of it. What Jupiter gives often takes a few years to show, so the next time Jupiter returns to the place of your natal Jupiter, you can take out the report and compare again.
