It is time to take up the "Planets-Between-Partners" Series again now that I have recovered from a serious medical condition and am now quite well. This pair of planets, the Sun in one Chart aspecting Jupiter in a partner's chart is quite a powerful combination. Jupiter represents opportunity, support, benefit, gain, enlargement, optimism, practical vision. When any/all of these attributes are lent to the Sun's warmth, ego, direction, vitality -- well, everything seems to grow like mushrooms within a relationship. But that doesn't mean that all is "roses." Let's look at some aspects.
SUN conjunct, sextile, trine JUPITER
All of the high-level attributes seem appropriate with these aspects: generosity, protectiveness, mutual confidence and trust in each other. These qualities can apply to almost anykind of a partnership; friends, lovers, marriage, business, spiritual groups, social and support groups. If there is any inbalance in the benefits of the relationship, that imbalance may favor the Sun as Jupiter will be supportive and encourage Sun to do more. Sun will invigorage and guide Jupiter, so if the Jupiter partner is the lead-partner in some sort of activity or experience, then Sun will guide, teach, promote, inspire.
My wife's Sun is conjunct my Jupiter. I have always been supportive of her efforts in terms of work, her ideas for the home and family. Although she would disagree, to some degree she is spoiled in terms of having her wishes fulfilled. Keep in mind that she works hard and carries her share of the family load -- past the retirement point we are raising three grandchildren and taking care of her 93 year old mother.
SUN-square-opposite-JUPITER
These contrary aspects, including the 45 and 135 degree angles, bring out some of the adverse meanings of these two astrological bodies. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that the good things of this pair are toned down and that some wrinkles can be found in terms of how they fit together. Each body tends to favor its own forms of expression instead of blending together smoothly.
** Sun-opposite-Jupiter: Sun can be a bit arrogant, more image focused, will push some of its functions upon Jupiter -- assuming unquestionable support by the Jupiter person. Jupiter can be big in the mouth, offering or suggesting things that are not so easily accomplished or supported.
** Sun-square-Jupiter: Here the Sun's power will often directly challenge the intent and optiism of Jupiter -- it seems that Sun can't take "yes" for an answer. Jupiter can be disappointing in terms of consistency, often delaying or shortcutting support for the Sun when things aren't going well.
I await comments from thos who have these aspectual combinations. Dave
