Jupiter-Saturn Quintile

(Transit Jupiter → Natal Saturn)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Jupiter quintile: A great number of locust species will not confuse a truly faithful believer. In its harmonious variant, this is an exceptionally life-affirming aspect: in the areas of the planet, the individual will experience breadth and a large quantity of life manifestations, though not necessarily of the highest quality. At a low level, there will be a tendency to consume them; for example, a harmonious Jupiter-Venus quintile produces a life-lover with an erotic emphasis, whose charm is very difficult for the opposite sex to resist. Jupiter’s debilitation at a low level produces life manifestations in the planet’s sphere that may disturb the surrounding people, but the individual, absorbed in themselves, often does not notice this. Here, there will be many life manifestations, but they will grossly fail to correspond to the environment’s needs and the forms in which they developed, which may lead to serious difficulties, the karmic meaning of which for the individual lies in the fact that when opening possibilities for life expressions and one’s own manifestations to others, one should care about how much they are needed and suitable: Jupiter automatically, but demands special efforts from the individual. Proper working through brings in the planetary areas a broad and strong life current, support for the development of many life forms, and the ability to enliven seemingly hopelessly dead forms doomed to destruction. In the harmonious variant without proper processing, the individual will either feed many parasites with their vitality, or eventually become one of them. Saturn quintile: Asceticism is the desire to focus on one way of life. This aspect often brings in the planetary spheres an interested-skeptical attitude toward life manifestations. Deep inside, the person very much wants life to grow and flourish, yet at the same time sees numerous obstacles to it, doubts its success, yet expects it, and becomes deeply saddened by life’s failures and victories of stagnation, though will not miss an opportunity to say: “I told you nothing good would come of these undertakings.” However, the individual becomes a suppressor of life manifestations in the planetary spheres only at the lowest level of quintile and Saturn processing, and under strong debilitation, as a result of deep traumas inflicted upon their vulnerable life-affirming feeling. Usually, this aspect softens Saturn’s harshness, and beneath an outward strictness and discipline provides a desire to preserve life within the expressions of the planetary principle and to give it a chance to develop. With Saturn debilitated, the individual will hold overly certain and dogmatic views on exactly what this life should be and precisely how it should animate the forms in which it arises; with a harmonious aspect, the person will know how and when to assist this life, but will often be too lazy to do so. Here, proper processing brings deep understanding of what occurs in stagnant forms (especially the most rigid and difficult ones, such as mathematical and metal structures) when life emerges within them, the developmental prospects of their specific manifestations, and knowledge of what kind of help is necessary for each and what kind is undesirable (afflicted Saturn without processing may cause suffocation).
