Sesquiquadrate Mercury – Jupiter

(Transit. Mercury → Natal Jupiter)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Tridecile of Mercury: When left alone with your thoughts, make sure they do not grow dull. This person is vividly interested in manifestations and developmental challenges of life within the spheres of the Planet; they will be inclined to apply their mind there, or at least to speak about these topics. During processing, this aspect provides good opportunities for rational understanding of life development issues within the Planet’s spheres, and potential mental liveliness directed toward their resolution. By realizing their mental abilities in this way, the person will feel great satisfaction from the human essence within themselves. This aspect gives a need (and opportunities) for self-expression in the Planet’s sphere through mental activity, and during processing, this self-expression will be both lively and interesting to others. For example, the tridecile Mercury-Jupiter during processing may produce an original and direct spiritual leader, with a quick and inventive mind, authoritative precisely to the necessary degree: “…for My burden is light”… at a low level, the person will consider themselves an exceptional expert (and benefactor) in life manifestations of analysis, both in practical terms and in philosophical generalizations, and overall gives life-giving energy, yet the thought of life itself about its successes in these spheres will concern them little. Tridecile of Jupiter: Angelic wings exist not to stir up dust in people’s eyes. This aspect gives the person impulses in the Planet’s spheres to assist life processes and development, to support them diversely and expand their possibilities, but all this will require certain effort from them. At a high level, this person may play an important role in the development of the Planet’s spheres and their humanization, in which they will find their human self-expression (or, more simply, their identity). At a low level, everything may be limited to good wishes and a patronizing, contemptuous attitude; at a moderate level, there may arise a broad passive interest in the Planet’s spheres, especially regarding problems of their life and development (as the person understands them), and some situations where the person can actively realize this, but without strong pressure. If Jupiter is harmonious, the person will have the opportunity to act in the Planet’s spheres as a benefactor or sponsor, supporting those life manifestations which appeal to them; if Jupiter is afflicted, they will have similar pretensions, or their beneficence will bring them complications, and the beneficent life will develop quite differently from what they desired, and most importantly, without any gratitude or recognition of their merits.
