VENUS OPPOSING JUPITER

This aspect depicts conflict which, when resolved, results in growth. Oppositions show a tug of war between opposing forces. If they are resolved, then the oppositions become the backbone and strength of the chart.

It is important to understand that the Venus rules Love, beauty and relationships. Venus is aesthetic and artistic. There is an attachment or response to beauty. Jupiter is happy-go-lucky and optimistic. It is also lucky, adventurous and abundant. Jupiter is very benevolent, generous and philanthropic. It also rules religion and higher education.

This aspect takes social extravagance and being nice to a whole new level, almost to the point of being irritating. There is a lack of moderation in pleasurable pursuits that include eating, drinking and having a great time. This is the placement of the hedonist, which is the individual who believes the pursuit of pleasure is the only way to live.

Venus opposing Jupiter doesn't give a flip about rules, regulations, guidelines, laws, directives and statutes. It just feels like it can buy its way out of anything.

This is a tough one because addiction is involved due to Jupiter's excessiveness. Keep in mind Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces, which is the ruler of addicts and addictions, and the ruler of mental health, chemistry, drugs, alcohol, rehab, mental institutions and treatment centers.

This is over-indulgence is Love (Venus) and sex (Scorpio), which morphs and rolls into food, drink, parties, going out, fun, etc. Whatever you Love and over-indulge in will likely be the problem with this aspect. Remember how Jordan in 'Wolf of Wallstreet' over-indulged in everything and his Love of all the wrong things was his downfall. He was so creative, if only he would have channeled the energy appropriately. Instead he fell, having fun, being fabulous and enjoying freedom at all costs. As BIG as this energy is, if you are creative and not addictive, then you will win! Someone has to win, so why not you?

There is a battle being waged sending people in different directions. While one individual fights for a right relationship, the other is only concerned with having fun, partying, going out, and playing in front of the mirror.

Venus opposing Jupiter is super-busy chasing pleasurable pursuits that keep the high going including eating, drinking and having a great time. This can be very hard on relationships.

This is the classic placement of the hedonist, which is the one who believes the pursuit of pleasure is the only way to live. It's kinda of a like a religion to 'the hedonist' as they have no interest in spiritual pursuits.

There is a tug-of-war between the desire to achieve and prove success (look at all my expensive stuff) and a need to enjoy oneself (livin' large and throwing money around), which represents both sides of Jupiter, which has a huge element of ambition, goals and adventure.

You will need to do whatever you can to develop, nurture and stick to self-discipline and to curb the need for success too fast. There is a total lack of moderation with this aspect.

Those who have taken the slow, quiet climb to the top will be the one's who likely achieve and win the race. The long-haulers. The partiers get tripped up, pass out and run late, while the sober-minded forge ahead and don't waste a dime or a minute. It's the classic 'Tortoise and the Hare' story.

This aspect can make an individual so spoiled with luxury and comforts that it makes them too lazy to achieve, because, why? This energy just wants to live in the lap of luxury believing it's the only way to live carrying with it heightened conceit.

Birthdays floating around this aspect will carry this aspect in the Solar Return until the next birthday. You might hear phrases such as, "I don't have to because I . . ." These individuals incessantly brag about how wonderful their lives have become. The giveaway of getting in over your head or sitting on the verge of losing it all is if you have to brag, there must be a reason.

This will be a super-tough year for those with this aspect in their Solar Return if you cannot control yourself, not to mention the Mars opposing Pluto aspect I wrote about above. Just remember, If you cannot control yourself, then someone else will have to do it for you.

You must guard against exaggerating your own importance and calling attention to yourself. If you brag about how much you have, then be prepared for others to come to you for help.

Didn't you see the movie 'Wolf of Wall Street' and what happened when Jordan called so much attention to himself. Braggadocious people always take it too far. You want attention? The Universe will give you some attention, but it might not be what you expected. Jordan had the three (3) letter agencies on his ass. Typically those who brag, are the first to fall and complain about money. Perhaps they don't have as much money as they wanted others to believe.

By the way, 'The Wolf of Wallstreet' is based on the real Life of Jordan Belfort.

It is important to ensure your efforts are steady, sustained and well-regulated. In other words, act like a grown-up. We can expect young people to do stupid things, right? Been there, done that. But for grown adults to act outrageous is just unacceptable. This is a dangerous aspect if you take it too far. Don't do that. And don't make me say, "I told'ja so", because I will. I'm like that.

Venus opposing Jupiter is flamboyant and showy, including where philosophic ideals and religious practice is concerned, but when the going gets tough and someone needs help, the showy turns a blind eye.

So you see, this aspect is heightened and blatant hypocrisy. When help is needed, instead of showing up to help, the hypocrite shows up somewhere else. Maybe, just maybe, they will throw money at the problem.

This aspect will take Life, everything, you, and others for granted because this aspect craves success, attention and ambition, but can be seriously lazy when it comes to work.

Anyone with this aspect in the Natal Chart or Solar Return will need to find a line of work that they absolutely Love or they will not accomplish much. Successful entrepreneurs are usually working their ass off for their legacy, and not partying into the wee hours ready to lose their fortune at any given minute.

There is also the possibility of you being taken advantage of by others if you insist on throwing time and money around. Watch your bragging or someone will be hitting you up for 'free' Goods, services or money.

This aspect wastes money and blows it on luxurious living thinking it will all be there tomorrow, so why save or invest? This aspect lives in the material world and is looking to impress anyone who will look, as it's not too picky on who provides the attention.

It's going to be tough to save money with this aspect unless of course you need to be scared into submission. Does something tough really need to happen in order to keep you sane and sober?

By the way, this aspect on January 9, 2026 is between Venus in Capricorn and Jupiter in Cancer. Capricorn rules government, status, rank in society and those in high public places. Cancer rules the homeland, the family, land, mining and domestic affairs. The People are about to find out just how much nerve and greed the government pulled over on The People.
