Hi River! Do you know what are the implications of sun square jupiter in the natal chart? and what does having several square aspects mean? Thank you!
Hi, I hope this can shed some light on this placement.
The Square aspect:
I call this the strict parents aspect. One planet might act as a vulnerable/rebellious kid while the other will act as strict/cold parent, usually the personal planets take the kid role and the outer planets take the parental role. If it's between personal planets, then the smaller planet is the kid, the bigger planet is the parent (I'm talking about the actual planetary size here, if the sizes are the same then both can be kids or parents, fighting each other). There's a strong sense of responsibility and demand from one side and feeling of restriction and being challenged from the other. One planet will push the other to be better, to achieve higher milestones, to behave properly, but not in an encouraging way but in a sharp, directive way. Both planets can be selfish and just want to get its way. This creates an inner conflict for the person who has this aspect. They will feel like if they try to please one planet, they will disappoint the other. The person will feel like there's just no way to please everyone (every desire and wish). They either have to act like a dictator (being demanding, strict, wanting to control the surroundings), or a people pleaser (diplomatic but scattered, confused, indecisive).
I think a good way to solve the tension of the square is to establish a set of rules and order for themselves, allow the kids to play, but for a set period of time, stop the parents when they get too harsh. Pick the best traits of both planets and incorporate them into an ACTION plan. This aspect will push the person to act, so the person who has lots of squares in their chart will also has lots of drive and ambition. Even when they feel like life is an eternal struggle, their achievements will be immense and life does reward them, the problem is if the person can see that reward.
Sun square Jupiter:
Imagine two giants being in conflict with each other. One will taunt and challenge (usually Jupiter) while the other will puff up their chest and show who's the boss (usually Sun).
This person can feel like life always presents them some taunting challenges that they need to prove themselves. So they tend to act big with everything, with their generousity, their pride and ego, their wisdom and justice, like a big daddy (regardless of their gender).
Their view of the self can be idealistic. Depend on the other aspects of the Sun, they can have the tendency to either question the meaning of their existence or have an unmovable sense of importance.
They can over extend themselves, provide their warmth and protection to everyone, but also expect everyone to listen to them, to come to their guidance.
They should be careful of being exploited and drained, and also be aware of their limits (not an easy feat).
They are usually optimistic folks and luck favours them a lot. Until they get complacent and abuse their blessings.
Can have big and robust body frame. Their whole demeanor and body language exude vitality and dynamism. Can sweat a lot and feel hot easily.
Big laugh and big gestures. Give the feeling of taking up a lot of space energetically.
