Observing the conduct of those who have a prominent birth chart Jupiter shows that they, more than others, are cheerful, benevolent, jovial, and have faith and confidence in Deity.
And close association with them shows that their thinking is largely colored by these things, and that, especially if Jupiter is harmonious, they have a wider tolerance and a more cordial feeling of good fellowship than those whose birth charts have this religious planet non-prominent or weak.
To the extent a planet is prominent in your birth chart, or receives additional planetary energy through a strong progressed aspect, the thinking and activities it rules are more pronounced, which implies that intelligent thought-cell life aka thought organizations within your unconscious soul-mind are behind what’s going on.
But before discussing these religious thought-elements and the way they commonly express in human life, you will get better insight into how to increase their activity – giving them a greater volume and a better harmony – if you learn how those already within your unconscious mind at birth were acquired.
Jupiter’s psychological footprint
Many lower forms of life place implicit faith in their parents. And among gregarious animals the confidence in the ability of the leader to protect and find ample for their need becomes the beginning of hope.
Reverence and veneration develop through obedience to such ruling authority, and looking to such higher power for guidance, protection and the satisfaction of wants. And quite naturally the social emotions, diverted into seeking the favor of the higher authority, take the form of devotion.
To acquire the favor of the leader, or higher authority, the spirit of tolerance toward other members of the group is cultivated, giving rise to good fellowship. The dog expresses these desires sublimated into a highly religious channel when it is willing to perish to save its master.
Various experiences in lower forms of life, in which tolerance and goodwill have taken part, and in which there was confidence in a higher authority, built mental factors into your astral body that are mapped in your birth chart by the planet Jupiter.
(All successful doctors and most of those who succeed in other professional work, or who, like salesmen, depend upon goodwill for patronage, have these Jupiter thought-elements prominent in their unconscious metal makeup.)
Any family of thoughts can express either harmoniously or discordantly so you should not think that the type of thinking most closely allied to Jupiter is always beneficial. But whether harmonious or discordant, their trend of expression is always toward abundance.
From finances to health their outstanding influence is towards too much of something. Where money is concerned their constructive expression leads to an abundance of wealth; but their destructive expression causes the individual to pay too great a price for purchases, to be extravagant in satisfying transitory or whimsical desires, and to attempt to show good fellowship through overabundant expenditures in entertaining or in providing for the pleasure of others.
Jupiter progressions
Your Jupiter thought-elements express religious thoughts and feelings and if they’re prominent and active you’re continually adding religious though-elements to your unconscious mind increasing their power to influence your life.
Then when a powerful progressed aspect to Jupiter is operative, they acquire more power and can markedly influence your religious conduct. You’re more cheerful, more philosophical and more given to placing faith in a higher power when things go wrong and difficulties arise.
This type of thinking, in turn, influences your conduct in various ways.
You’re more generous than is common, go out of your way more to do someone a good turn or expand your business. Perhaps you are stricter in your attendance at church, seek aid from a higher power or offer prayers for guidance and sustenance.
In your eating you’re more inclined than usual to indulge in rich foods, including fats and sweets. And, according to whether your Jupiter thought factors are harmoniously organized or discordant, the insulin supply, on which you depend to handle such foods increases or diminishes, with the effect on one hand you can put on weight, or on the other, due to the incomplete combustion of fuel within your body you can become bilious and subject to that form of acidosis called ketosis.
The type of thinking indulged in when a progressed aspect to Jupiter is operative has a further effect which requires knowledge related to the study of radio transmission. But whether you understand how thought-cells can operate across four-dimensional space to bring events into your life without being conscious of the process or not, it is easy enough to demonstrate that, coincident with a given type of thinking stimulated through planetary positions, such events do occur.
And they come into the lives of those who know nothing of Hermetic astrology more invariably and exactly true to planetary type, than they do into the lives of those who knowing Hermetic astrology take some measure of prevention.
Analysis of the events that coincided with such progressed aspects in the lives of thousands of people who knew nothing about Hermetic astrology at the time they occurred shows that some power other than suggestion was at work.
Thought power
And as thought is behind what people do on the three-dimensional plane, and behind the reactions of their endocrine glands, it seems that thought, rather than some other power (like DNA or genes) is responsible for their four-dimensional behavior which brings, often with no objective anticipation or preparation, various events.
And without discounting the part played by actual vibratory energies reaching the astral body from the planet Jupiter, accepting this interpretation of observed facts leads inevitably to the conclusion that unasked for good luck and unsought benefits which are attributed to Jupiter, in reality are the result which under natural law follows a well-defined mental outlook and type of thinking.
This means, I believe, that Jupiter maps within your unconscious mind mental factors, built into it perhaps largely before life in human form, which are of the religious thought-element type.
If Jupiter is prominent in your birth chart it signifies that these Jupiter thought-elements, through innumerable typical experiences, have been built into your astral body in large volume, and possess an unusual amount of energy.
And this desire energy, because desire is thought-energy under tension and straining for release, is so strong that it habitually finds channels of escape, and expresses itself, not merely as Jupiter type thinking, but as Jupiter type of behavior on the three-dimensional material-plane and event-attracting Jupiter type of behavior on the four-dimensional astral-plane.
Jupiter’s influence on health
In regard to the health their constructive expression gives good health; but in their destructive expression they harm the body through an overabundance of certain things within the system, burdening it down for instance with more fats than can properly be handled, giving rise to ketosis or biliousness.
Autointoxication (poisoning by a toxin formed within the body itself) is due to such an abundance of substances in the blood that they cannot be sufficiently eliminated.
Type-2 diabetes arises from loading the body with more starches and sugars than the insulin supply can handle; catarrh and carbuncles are manifestations of a blood stream too greatly loaded with fatty acids from rich foods incompletely oxidized; and fatty tumors are an effort to take care of an excess of fuel.
Dealing with a discordant Jupiter
If Jupiter in your birth chart is discordant you’ll tend towards misguided excess and extravagance. The Jupiter mental factors in your unconscious mind are dysfunctional and in order to attract the good fortune that Jupiter is renowned for you will need to cultivate harmonious religious thinking.
To do this, whenever the impulse to self-indulgence and extravagance is felt, you must take pleasure in cultivating intelligent optimism, good fellowship and tolerance or any other constructive Jupiter behavior that gets the approval of Deity.
Dealing with a weak Jupiter
Many people have the mental factors mapped by Jupiter so lacking in energy that beneficial or detrimental abundance plays little part in their lives.
But the desire energy their Jupiter thought-cells expresses has been acquired in the past through Jupiter type thoughts and experiences and they could have experiences with abundance if they would energetically cultivate their Jupiter type of thinking.
