I found these drafts on Dawn’s site I’m not sure if they were posted or not but I’m posted them here calling them Jupiter the inner wheel

Jupiter the Seeker, Part Two

This article is part two of a series on Jupiter on The Inner Wheel.  The introduction article about the concepts of Jupiter can be found HERE.  Part one, Jupiter through the houses 1 through 6, can be found HERE.  I suggest you read those before tackling the article below.

Jupiter in the 7th House:

Jupiter in the 7th can seem open-hearted, funny and charming, but often has enormous expectations about what others can do for them, particularly romantic partners.  This is where the Piscean mode of Jupiter really kicks in.  Overt or covert romanticism can rule life, depending on aspects.  However, our expectations are not often fulfilled.  The partner is not the promised savior.  There is an interesting dynamic with seventh house planets.  The people who have them are ‘other’ oriented, but the planet is still mine and is all about me.  Jupiter in the 7th can be generous to a fault, yet expect to be treated like a god (if we don’t make a god of others).  Much depends on the sign.  Jupiter in Virgo will be more service-oriented, Jupiter in Aries much more ‘I’ oriented.  Our wisdom comes when we drop our hopes and expectations of what others can give to us and learn what true generosity means–giving of one’s Self.  Their adventure lies in the pursuit of true partnership.

Jupiter the inner wheel in the 8th House:

In the house of intimacy and deep exchange, Jupiter can be a blessing.  Jupiter naturally reaches out past the boundaries to explore and connect. There is often luck with investment, finance, and inheritance, which they gladly share.  The 8th house is where we bring something to the table of life.  Again, in this quarter of ‘others’ (7th, 8th, and 9th houses) there can be high expectations, a need to be free of restrictions and a desire to gamble with other people’s resources.  The concepts of ‘mine’ and ‘yours’ may be blurry.  In the house where individuals merge, Jupiter may desire a lot of merging, and not just with one individual. (I have found that Jupiter in the 7th leads to serial monogamy, whereas Jupiter in the 8th (and 5th) is more likely to have simultaneous multiple partnerships.)  Jupiter in the 8th needs to learn that other people’s resources are as sacred as our own, and that includes other people’s sense of inner worth and well-being.  Our desire to explore is at its best as a journey shared, and a deep connection is worth more than the sum of its parts.

Jupiter in the 9th House:

Jupiter is strongest in its own house, where its firey, exuberant nature can be released in full.  The ‘Don’t Fence Me In’ theme of Jupiter is expressed best in mutable mode.  The ninth house (3+3+3 or 3×3) is all about transcendence.  Our age of spiritual maturity, age 36 (3+6) is marked by the third return of Jupiter in our charts.  Jupiter in this house is released from its admonishment to walk on eggshells in the real world.  It can party.  What is it partying about?  Anything that transcends the ordinary–visions, dreams, metaphysics, philosophy, higher law, higher learning.  Anything that gets beyond the mundane.  Jupiter is about organized religion in this house because the 9th is about higher structures as well.  It isn’t the one-to-one connection to the divine that the 12th house requires of us.  The 9th house is the house of gurus, teachers, and shamans, those who pass on wisdom to us.  Alas, some of them can be blowhards at best and frauds at worst, and negative Jupiter here can be both.  There can be a tremendous desire to become an authority for authority’s sake.  To over-step and over-reach.  To want to be seen as master more than to live a life wisely.  On the other hand, this can be the position of the natural teacher.  Much depends on the aspects to Jupiter.  Jupiter can reach the heights of the sacred or the depths of the profane.  The energy of Jupiter can be a blessing, but it is also the reason that greed is considered one of the seven deadly sins.

Jupiter the inner wheel in the 10th House:

If Jupiter in the 9th wants to be a master, then Jupiter in the 10th wants to be a big…anything, really.  As long as it’s big.  Really big.  Or important.  As long as it’s seen.  Even if the rest of the chart points to shyness and working behind the scenes, Jupiter here will want to be appreciated and want someone to know that Jupiter knows it knows how to do business.  It wants to know and be known for knowing.  The difference between the greater and the lesser Jupiter here depends on whether or not Jupiter has a purpose, a meaning.  Jupiter is ultimately about the search for meaning and the journey to evolve consciousness.  If it is doing something in the world which (for the Jupiter person) sustains that purpose, it is happy on the deepest level. (It doesn’t mean everyone has to be a guru or teacher or philosopher; we can find this purpose in many things.)  Sometimes Jupiter changes courses.  For example, Jupiter in earth, especially, tends to be security oriented.  Earlier in life, a 10th Jupiter may seek a stable career, only to find it empty after a time; it will then seek something more meaningful.  Jupiter in the 10th is known for its multiple careers (much as Jupiter in the 7th is known for multiple partners).  The struggle for meaningful work is something we all relate to, but it is the signature of this position of Jupiter.  If work remains ego-based, and focused on self-expansion, Jupiter is at risk of falling into despair if its eyes are opened to the light.  Jupiter can be the epitome of conscious living or the poster child for self-absorption.  Jupiter is at its best when it develops a social conscience and a goal.

in the 11th House:

What can you say about the party planet in the party house?  The thought of Jupiter in the 11th makes me smile.  Happy Jupiter in the house full of ‘friends, hopes and wishes.’  The eleventh house is the house of like-minded others.  Here we find the people on our wavelength. It’s also the house of shared vision, shared dreams.  But the 11th house is much more than that, and Jupiter, in its consciousness-and-wisdom-seeking way, can show us why.  For example, both the 9th house and the 11th house are about visions for the culture.  But the 9th house is about the system, the system of government and the system of politics, of the process of getting things done.  The 11th house is about more than that–it’s about steering a path between the 10th house, the society we have built, and the 12th house, our ultimate surrender to and submission to the divine.  It is very Aquarian in that it’s about what the group can achieve, what the group can accomplish in terms of creative expression–what is right in terms of our journey towards a progressive society and a social spirituality.  Here, the lone voice submits to becoming one voice among others, to allow the group to become more than the sum of its parts.  Jupiter here can be the brave soul urging the others to sing along.  Jupiter can work wonders here if ego can be put aside.  Jupiter in the 11th understands how individual gifts can merge with the needs of the collective.  It can use its gifts of imagination and expansion to forge a higher version of what we can be.  The choice is clear–social butterfly or social conscience?

Jupiter the inner wheel in the 12th House:

Many older astrology books will tell you that Jupiter doesn’t work well in the 12th house.  It’s the loss, you see.  Reams and reams and reams of loss. Not exactly the happy go lucky picture of Jupiter most of us prefer to see.  The 12th house is often about the energy of unraveling, and Jupiter most often just wants more and more.
