How horrible do you think that conjunction can be? (look at the title)
Sun/Saturn and Sun/Jupiter aspects are common in the extraordinarily wealthy.
Saturn reduces the Sun and brings it to discipline the person and their Ego. The individual is made self conscious to a negative, but also naturally will seek to better oneself and overcome in an intense manner, being held back makes you fight for who you want to be seen as. It makes a person quite awkward and reserved but also this pressure on the personality leads one to understand the depth of expression, how to properly come across to others, politeness, true confidence within ones own self and not bluffing. It ferments as an aspect, quite extraordinary people who are not prone to delusion by their provenance and natally very grounded if they for example are lacking Earth or there's otherwise "ungrounded" indications in the chart. As it's known Saturn is the planet of aging and things improving with age. Sun/Saturn individuals begin very shy and even downtrodden but as they grow older can become incredibly to the contrary and flip to absurd levels of pride, health and strength of character. One example here is Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, which goes without saying :lol:
Jupiter on the other hand expands the Sun and is indicative of people who were born into wealth and domestic security (not always though). This is then often squandered as one may not put themselves to action or ever learn to appreciate their own background and wealth, where they might come from. Additionally they may even come to embrace this toxic mindset through bad experiences or other factors like peers. Some people go to ascetic extremes and put themselves in poverty on purpose as they realise this within themselves, the inherent undermining faults of their own fortune and whims. This ties into how Jupiter connects with the sign of Pisces that it co-rules. Sun/Jupiter can be an aspect of self-deception as Sagittarius/Pisces are mutable, carefree "flippant" signs and Jupiter is in a spiritual sense connected to Neptune and the trait of deception. In another sense Jupiter people begin in life with a sense of going somewhere, and world weariness. They are liable to travel early on to many countries and are not "bound" in that sense of their family not being able to afford it, small town mindsets and so on. One starts off in life with a lot of personal pride and sense of identity which is then metered by reality as they experience it, in sublimation they become less conceited and adopt humility. Sun/Jupiter is seen in the Jake Pauls of the world, the arrogant asshole types but contrarily also in quite cultivated individuals such as James Watson and is also a spiritual type of aspect (Jupiter rules
philosophy)
Both aspects can create people with a strong philosophy but Sun/Saturn is one created from one's personal experience and is internal whereas Sun/Jupiter's is extrapersonal, invites good education and wisdom coming from others which is external. Sun/Saturn is intrinsically feminine and Sun/Jupiter is masculine, but ultimately as either one develops in life, these aspects swap places in that regard. When they age its vice versa.
Both aspects can have trouble with self-denial, not just Saturn. Sun/Saturn arguably is the "stronger" aspect or more intense and personifying in an individual's story for the reason that Saturn is associated with Cardinal and Fixed qualities which are stronger than Jupiter's Mutable ones. The experience such a person has is more poignant and true to reality, no deception or fanciful idealization in their thinking is involved, for better or worse. It's a better "for better or worse" than the Mutable quality of Sagittarius/Pisces, which expresses themselves often in this current time as whimsical and irrelevant to the truth. The positive sublimation of this force though is proper wisdom as it gives fortune in worldly affairs when one with this provenance
is grounded and actively engaging in the physical world
This kind of understanding above applies to all things involving Saturn and Jupiter, they mirror eachother as Fortune and Unfortune. There's a lot of other things to consider going into this kinda duality here as well, such as how they both treat time. Saturn prominent people perceive time and the future as a constant stresser, and bearing down on them. There is a constant need to ensure security of and certainty in their own affairs. Jupiter prominent people instead perceive
more time and good circumstances ahead; and if times are good, they usually will have that (unless the outer circumstances -which come under the understanding of Uranus/Aquarius- punish any indolent and lazy Jupiter prominent individual). They will be more brash and careless about themselves because of how their reality and provenance has always treated them. A gambler personality.
Just wanted to clarify this as all that is on AA about both aspects focuses on the negative and this is understandable. I've seen a case with Jupiter and Saturn closely aspecting on and towards the Sun and it's particularly nasty as one's personality is pulled in both of these directions. Jupiter/Saturn aspects, particularly when involved with other planets can also be indicative of people who are afraid of travel, flying, getting homesick and so on. Clinging onto old values and wrong ways of how one was brought up.
On a final note, my understanding of this first started with "Saturn contracts, Jupiter expands" applied to this page: https://satanisgod.org/www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/PlanetSun.html
Hopefully people here can get even more out of that notion as I did. HPS Maxine Dietrich has done a great service to astrologers worldwide with these webpages. Everything being discussed now in current astrologer circles is information and ideas that have scaled down from these writings.
