Wherever Jupiter is found in the chart is where there is a need and an opportunity for expansion and learning, and where one needs fulfillment. If Saturn is our life's test, then Jupiter is the key, guide, and light that sees us through the darkness of time (Saturn). It is the guidance and wisdom through which we meet and pass Saturn's test. Jupiter is the particular way we proceed or continue in life; continuity. It is our "fortune" or solution to time's test. In astrology, Jupiter is called the 'great benefic' as it shows us how to find our way through Saturn and his tests of time. It shows us how to use Saturn. Jupiter is our key to succession through time, to success. It is the way through or on. Jupiter has to do with how we are to be successful in life in our particular experience with the forces of time. Jupiter often describes our vocation or the way we must go through life, since that through which we have to pass (Saturn) dictates or influences the way we must go through life, our vocation. We have expressed our Jupiter when we are successful.
Once we have learned to master our Saturn by expressing our Jupiter, to be successful, our mind is free to explore our situation. The freedom of Jupiter is eternal vigilance toward the laws of Saturn. We go from victory to victory over time, which translates into day-to-day success.
Jupiter is retrograde approximately four months of each year. In a chart a retrograde Jupiter indicates a deep thinker, a subjective person inclined to much planning and dreaming instead of doing. They are philosophers, but generally keep their ideas and beliefs to themselves. Their expansion and growth are inward, and generally not apparent to others.
