Venus conjunct Jupiter: Generosity Knows No Bounds
By Kelli Fox, The Astrologer
Venus at 9 degrees Taurus forms a conjunction to Jupiter also at 9 degrees Taurus at 10:54 pm PT. This aspect is part of a Grand Earth Trine involving Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn.
‘The devil made me do it’ is nothing but a convenient excuse for overindulgence, but it’s a rationalization that could go far for the few days that this transit is in effect. This planetary combination basically brings too much of a good thing. It is, therefore, an excellent time to reacquaint ourselves with the concept of ‘enough.’
Instead of eating too many sweets or buying some expensive but unnecessary toy, we can focus on social connections and increasing the love in our lives. In fact, everywhere we go, we see sweethearts of all ages, holding hands and smooching. We’re practically swooning with affection — so this is not the day to run off to Vegas for an impromptu wedding ceremony, because bitter reality will return next week!
Focus on more enduring matters instead. We have a keen eye for form and beauty, so make plans to redesign your home or personal space today.
If you have Venus conjunct Jupiter as a natal aspect:
You’ve got a big heart and a very generous nature. You’re remarkably cavalier with your money, spending freely on yourself and others, having perfect faith that there’s plenty more out there and it will come to you quite easily, almost without any effort on your part.
This inborn attitude of being well off is reflected in your emotional generosity and good will; you have a wealth of feelings, and you feel wealthy. Even the bad times don’t seem so bad to you! You like being around other people and you like having a good time, so your social calendar is usually full.
You are charming and warm, and enjoy physical contact with people; you prefer a hug to a handshake. Philanthropy comes naturally to you. Your benevolence and charity are best when done privately, out of the public eye, which indicates humility and sincerity and reduces any appearance of self-congratulation.
Pay attention to the spiritual side of life, and develop philosophies that give your life meaning and substance. Instead of frittering away your resources, use them for the greater good, a cause to which you can contribute an enormous amount of time, dedication, energy and money.
