Jupiter—Conferring Success:

[On the ordinary wheel, the third decan of Aries is ruled by Jupiter, conferring] “…the successful satisfaction of desire and ambition.” (EA 106)

Specific Expressions of Jupiter in Aries

Jupiter (in Aries) in Relation to the Three Personality Vehicles:
This combination will energize the three vehicles, increasing their positivity towards the environment. An increase in physical-etheric energy with added buoyancy; a sense of optimism and enthusiasm in the astral vehicle; a tendency towards mental fertility—the conceiving of many possible initiatives—such would characteristic results of this combination.

Jupiter (in Aries) in Relation to the Personality as a Whole:
The personality becomes eager, ready and willing to begin. Aries is the sign of commencement and Jupiter believes and its optimistic. This combination influences the personality towards a positive, expectant outlook that initiatives begun can and will be fulfilled. If anything there may be too many initiatives, accompanied by over-confidence and unrealistic estimation of possibilities.

Jupiter (in Aries) in Relation to the Fusion of Soul and Personality:
This combination will reveal to the personality those soul initiatives which seek to manifest and be fulfilled. The personality becomes “more than willing” to undertake, immediately, what the soul reveals. To the extent that these “seed ideas” are accepted and put into action, the soul and personality will draw closer together.

Jupiter (in Aries) in Relation to the Synthesis of Human Dualities—Head/Heart; Mind/Love; Will/Wisdom:
By the time Jupiter, a sacred planet, can be effective in the fusion of soul and personality as well as the lesser dualities, Aries has become a ‘mental’ sign, ruled by Mercury.

Aries rules the head and Jupiter the heart (EA 517); Jupiter is related to higher mind (EA 369)as well as to love; Aries is related to will and Jupiter to wisdom. This combination, therefore, touches each member of each duality concerned.

Jupiter in Aries influences towards eager entry into experience. High things are undertaken under the impulse of the soul, and one learns because one has dared.

A confident entry into big and demanding projects calls upon all available resources; the opposites learn to cooperate because they must if there is to be success.

Jupiter (in Aries) in Relation to the Means by which the Expansion of Consciousness may be Sought:

Experience is the best teacher; once learns by doing, “on the job”. Fearless beginnings lead to revelatory engagement with circumstance. Those who are more timid, do not learn so quickly. The willingness to undertake in response to soul vision, throws one into the field of revelation, and one learns more and more through success and also through the failures due to overestimation.

Jupiter (in Aries) in Relation to the Fulfillment of Desire and the Satisfaction of Demand

1) initially, fulfillment for the little self; then

2) fulfillment of desire for the good of the whole—a fulfillment achieved through the outgoing expression of love:

Jupiter in Aries dares greatly and expresses fully. Tasks are undertaken simply because they are part of the Divine Plan; there may be personal sacrifice involved, but it does not seem important compared to that which must be done. Confidence and optimistic unselfishness attracts cooperation and resources. That which man desires, he can have, especially if he does not bock his own way with negativity. The belief that difficult undertakings lie fully within the range of accomplishment, makes accomplishment that much easier. People love and circumstance supports those who dare greatly.
