MARS SQUARE JUPITER

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented, almost constantly needing to be entertained or occupied. Mars is the warrior, the aggressor and the competitive one that often times just doesn't know when to stop. Jupiter is lucky, adventurous and abundant. Jupiter is also very benevolent, generous and philanthropic. Jupiter likes to preach or have their fist in the air over subject matter that has to do with the higher moral ground, philosophy, religion and ethics.

This aspect 'can be' incredibly explosive, destructive and war-like. Remember, Jupiter E-X-P-A-N-D-S whatever it touches and it is reaching out and touching Mars through an aggressive square. This in turn over-exaggerates Mars to the 'nth degree. This can easily cause you to attempt to gain control and power over someone, but it can also result in an attempt by someone else to gain control and power over you. Either way you slice it, the result is someone is getting their ego fed while they are trying to impress others. Jupiter is a very social planet and likes to get around the planet (social circles), so there is a strong possibility that this could result in self-aggrandizement or self-ingratiating behavior. Self-promotion with be huge with this aspect. Read more in my Astrology Aspects eBook - click the graphic below!
