Jupiter-Chiron Sesquiquadrate

(Transit Jupiter → Natal Chiron)

Avelom Podvodny. Aspects

Jupiter’s sesquiquadrate: To whom much is given, something entirely different will be required. This is the aspect of homegrown philosophers in the sphere of the Planet. Here, a person will have a largely dogmatic way of thinking, whose foundational bricks, upon closer inspection, turn out to be very solid and equally unwieldy, making it quite difficult to build from them a light, heaven-directed temple. In the harmonious variant, this person may demonstrate philanthropic tendencies in the Planet’s spheres, but usually in a narrowly interpreted and ultimately self-serving manner, resulting from failure to fully grasp the subtleties of the planetary principle and to master it broadly. Generally, Jupiter brings happiness and expanded opportunities, but in this case it occurs mechanically and formally, without regard to the person’s true desires, so that its joy may often be poisoned, or what happens may seem utterly mocking—like receiving a stuffed puppy instead of a real one for a birthday. This element of formal charity and misguided advocacy is overcome with great difficulty, especially since the person receives from life (in the planetary spheres) not the best examples to follow. Nevertheless, working through this requires deep (not broad) penetration into the planetary spheres and using one’s available resources genuinely for helping others, regardless of strengthening one’s sense of self-importance; only then will the divine voice truly resonate in the temple the person has built. Chiron’s sesquiquadrate: When diving into the unknown, wear scuba gear. This aspect gives in the planetary spheres a rough sense of humor and confidence in the non-standard and original nature of one’s approaches, as well as the ability to find a way out of any dead end. In reality, unfortunately, this is not always the case, and a clever, amusing invention often turns out to be flat and ineffective, though at a lower level the person ignores this or considers it accidental. Chiron remains true to himself: here he offers structures and methods that must be deciphered by viewing them from an unconventional and barely conceivable perspective, which in this case means (among other things) from the viewpoint of another person or an egregore. Until the person does this, in the planetary spheres (especially if Chiron is afflicted) they will constantly encounter blind spots in development—related viewpoints of people, familiar, trusted, and effective methods that turn out to be entirely different in reality, but one must learn to see this. Harmonious Chiron and Planet will greatly soften the negative effects of the sesquiquadrate, and the methods the person uses in the planetary sphere will appear clever and constructive, but still, without thorough work and attention fundamentally directed toward other people, they will possess significant hidden flaws that will inevitably manifest in crude ways over time.
