Semi-quintile Venus – Jupiter

(Transit Venus → Natal Jupiter)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Decile of Venus: Public consciousness is much more humane than public subconsciousness. When the influence of Venus strengthens in the spheres of the planet, and a person’s feelings soften, tending toward the perception—especially of the beautiful in forms and relationships—he feels a surge of humanism (in his own understanding). At a low level, this means extreme capriciousness, where in certain situations a person experiences anything as inhuman (toward themselves) that lacks sufficient attention, love, or even a simple failure to match their aesthetic tastes. For example, a woman with a decile of Sun-Venus may (sincerely) consider it inhuman toward herself when a man invites her to an evening where the hosts’ toilets do not meet her standards. If the decile is afflicted, these effects may be emotionally intense, but in reality Venus has only an indirect influence on the planetary principle. In its harmonious form, this is a deceptive aspect, as the humaneness expressed by Venus can be mistaken for love, which, unfortunately, is far from the same thing. For example, a decile of Venus-Mars (if not strongly afflicted) may produce a person who expresses themselves in communication with the opposite sex in a humane, beautiful, and caring way, but the elevated romantic love (Venus) and passionate desire (Mars) in him combine into humane expressions that may not suit a partner at all. The decile gives an overly refined (often even for the person themselves) synthesis of planetary principles, indicating great achievements in past incarnations.

Decile of Jupiter: The humanity of God is no more doubtful than the humanity of man. This person will seek to express their humanity by expanding the opportunities of others in areas related to the planet. In these spheres, they are characterized by broad humanitarian interests; for example, a decile of Sun-Jupiter during processing may give a philosopher working on the problem of human free will, while at a low level, it may produce a religious fanatic who adheres to the principle “those who are not with us are against us” and considers only the puppets of their egregore to be truly human. In this case, they would consider converting others to their faith as an act of humanity and the destruction of the rest as justified. Here, humanism as the expansion of opportunities for others in the spheres of the planet does not come naturally but requires effort from the person and the involvement of other planetary principles (for example, Sun and Mars, i.e., initiative, energy, etc.). On the other hand, at a low level, the person may take pride in their philanthropy and ability to help others in the spheres of the planet, and any doubt in their real merits will be perceived as an insult. Even minimal restrictions or even a simple comparison with someone greater (or even someone equally great) will be seen as an inhuman humiliation. A processed decile of Jupiter gives (in the relevant areas) great humanitarians, while an unprocessed one only claims this title, and the more afflicted Jupiter is, the more it is revealed.
