Jupiter is the luck you’ve been given. Saturn is the luck you have to earn.

For example, my Jupiter is in the Fourth House. I was just given Fourth House things for free. A wonderful childhood and a beautiful home. Inherited talents and family heirlooms, including our grimoire. Supportive and generous siblings. A name and lineage I can be proud of. And I don’t have to repay my Fourth House at all. It will always keep on giving to me without expecting anything back.

But my Saturn is in the Ninth. I struggled with faith early on. Went to Catholic school but never believed in it. Even after I was introduced to paganism, I had to discover which parts were true and which were fluff. Needed to deny being a witch for some time. But since then, I've used divination, spellcraft and manifestation to design the life I want. Though, every day, I have to keep honing my Ninth. Or its blessings would die.

What about you?

Where is your Jupiter? Use it. Bask in it. Be grateful for it. Your whole life, you can rely on it.

And your Saturn? Learn it. Shape it. Wield it. It will begin rewarding you towards your 30s. It might even outshine your Jupiter if you let it.
