Jupiter conjunction sun, birth chart and synastry
Jupiter conjunction the Sun helps us to operate and practice at a higher frequency of who we want to be. even if we aren’t quite there yet.
This article examines the relationship between the Sun and Jupiter in astrology. In this article, we will look at Jupiter conjunct the sun, in the birth chart, in transit and synastry. The sun is our constant. It governs our seasons and guides our circadian rhythms. It brings life and growth, and can cause death and destruction. We are never left in doubt of its constancy; each morning it will rise easterly from the mouth of the earth, and each evening it shall fall beneath the land and sea into the underworld. When Jupiter, the largest and most expansive planet in our solar system, interacts with the life-giving the Sun, all the ingredients are there for big ideas, big growth and big benefits.
The Sun
In astrology, the sun is our soul’s expression, our vitality. The sun is at the centre of our universe, so it makes sense that the sun represents our core self. This is one reason why, when we inquire about a person’s star sign, we are referring to their sun sign.
The sun can also represent our father or parental figure in our lives. Our sun sign can tell us where we shine in life, or perhaps how we feel stifled and by whom.
Jupiter
Jupiter in astrology is known as the great benefic, Venus being the lesser benefic. This means Jupiter brings the most beneficial energy to our lives. Jupiter represents our freedom, opportunities, beliefs, philosophies, learning, self-awareness and development and most of all, it brings optimism to our charts. Even a badly aspected Jupiter can bring joy and in some cases can help to put the brakes on a more challenging energy and help ground and over-idealised energy.
Jupiter takes roughly twelve years to transit the 12 signs of the zodiac, staying in each sign for roughly one year. When Jupiter is in the same sign as your sun sign, either in your birth chart or during a transit, you can be sure that this will be your year to shine.
Jupiter conjunct the Sun
When the sun and Jupiter come together, in conjunction, we see an unstoppable team. Both planets amplify our soul’s expression, Jupiter helping the sun to feel liberated and at ease, expressing its true radiance and progress with unbreakable optimism. For those of us with Jupiter conjunct the sun in our birth chart, we can expect unwavering faith in the area of life that relates to the house in which these planets fall. If, for example, Jupiter is conjunct the sun in the 11th house, this creates great optimism and faith in community and friends, even if there are harder aspects to the sun or Jupiter, there will always be hope in 11th house themes of loyalty, friendship and community.
When we look at the placement of Jupiter conjunct the sun in synastry, the same benevolent energy is true. The Jupiter person likes and has faith in the sun person, enjoying the way they express their true sense of self and wanting them to shine. They may aid them in their career or be in spiritual service to them in some way. The Jupiter person wants the sun person to be free and hopes to liberate them by enticing the sun person to join them on a quest for freedom of expression. This energy is the power couple! It’s the unstoppable twin flame meeting soul mate energy. If the sun person has a strong character, then the Jupiter person can help to balance that with an equally expressive energy. There is great faith in each other as partners, this couple can often see a future together and although their expectations and dreams may be high, their faith in achieving their dreams with drive them to achievement. These placements are great for business synastry. They offer combined force energy and the ability to create wealth as a unit.
Conversely, this can be a twin flame energy, and the sheer magnetic energy between them can quickly become exhausting, even unbearable. This usually happens when one person lacks significant confidence in their own beliefs, creative expression and identity. Be sure that Jupiter, conjunct the sun, will challenge both people’s beliefs about themselves and the world.
When transiting Jupiter meets your natal sun, you can aspect a reassignment of your priorities, a renewed optimism and a surge of energy to help you accomplish your goals.
