Jupiter in Capricorn : social ambition
Jupiter is in the element of Earth here, in its fall and under Saturn’s rulership, which makes its natural expansion highly internalized, focused, and structured.
Jupiter in Capricorn people are thus very serious, helpful, practical, and efficient, both in concrete situations and socially. Having Jupiter in Capricorn makes them more ambitious and careful, and gives them a heightened sense of responsibility, especially when it comes to finance. Jupiter’s social function takes on more importance in this sign, and these people see social situations as a true “calling” rather than just a basic necessity.
They often have a highly developed sense of morality and honesty, and are much more mature than their peers. They often seek out positions of management and like to demonstrate their power, both socially and spiritually for that matter. Thus, we may frequently find them holding political offices or high-up government positions, as CEOs, or, if they sublimate their material side, as spiritual, moral, or philosophical leaders.
What we really have here is an alliance between Jupiter and Saturn that tends to really neutralize the disadvantages of each while holding on to their good qualities. This setting is much appreciated for Jupiter, as it allows the planet to shine wonderfully without bearing the risk, commonly associated with this planet, of being excessive. At the same time, Jupiter may also allow Capricorn to “relax” by honing the sign’s natural talents and removing the brakes.
Thus, Jupiter in Capricorn people may tend to be very lucky, especially in a socioprofessional context, and are likely to have a good reputation and be popular and respectable. They effortlessly gain admiration and recognition for their work, and are frequently very prosperous. In addition, pressure on them to get promoted is usually handled extremely well, and in fact actually causes them to thrive.
They are often capable of performing a keen analysis of their social environment, which gives them an exceptional eye for how to strategically climb to the upper echelons. No matter what these people set out to do, they tend to make the right choices and meet the right people at just the right time.
Jupiter in Capricorn may also reveal a projection onto the person’s father or husband (if the native is a woman) who has gained high social standing, prestige, and popularity as a result of their skills, a figure who has had a huge impact on the person’s life, for example by raising them to be very studious, and who has become a model for them.
This projection could also apply to any social entity, such as a country, a race, a religion, a family, a clan, a city, etc. The native thus identifies with this figure in their body, mind, and soul, and feels a duty to represent, defend, promote, and proselytize it/them.
Jupiter in Capricorn people have a direct connection to religion, in particular its political and moral aspects rather than the philosophical, mystical, and transcendent side of things. They see religion as a mechanism for creating social cohesion and power and for managing a society rather than a way to emancipate people.
This does not mean that there are not any high ideals or wisdom behind it all, just that the moral, rigid, orthodox side of things is dominant for them, and they may even emphasize religion’s inquisitorial aspects.
At their worst, Jupiter in Capricorn people can be quite intransigent. Jupiter lacks its natural openness and expansiveness in this sign, and so these people tend to withdraw into an austere lifestyle which does not really suit them.
These people may also be better at gaining power through their ambition than they are at using it ! If the rest of their birth chart does not lend itself well to this situation, they may not know what to do in their position of power or how to use their influence.
Jupiter retrograde in Capricorn
Jupiter’s Retrograde motion in this sign tends to make the planet’s energy even more introverted, which can be—and probably will be a real handicap in certain ways, especially in terms of these people’s social life. Saturn’s rulership tends to be accentuated in these people, which makes them more responsible and practical, but may also lead them to be more stern, insensitive, and intransigent.
