Jupiter in Capricorn, Transit and History
Preface
In this article I will outline how Jupiter operates while it transits the sign of Capricorn, the generational historical effects of the transit and factors to take into consideration. Finally, I will outline how it may generationally manifest as it begins its next transit of Capricorn beginning 03/12/19 – 19/12/20.
Considerations of Jupiter in Capricorn
Some factors I will take into consideration are its aspects to the generational or outer planets such as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Also, the condition of Saturn the Domicile ruler of Capricorn, the sign in transit as when dignified compared to undignified gives greater or lesser assistance. And possible reception from Saturn to Jupiter that gives great assistance in manifesting dignified outcomes. I have chosen to use the Placidus house system in this instance, I believe it is best used when dealing with issues involving timing and ingress charts. Although I am looking at the generational planets in this instance I, am still using traditional rulership.
The Nature of Jupiter
When Jupiter is well dignified he is Just, faithful, optimistic and honourable however when debilitated can be carless, gluttonous and boastful. In people and places,
he manifests in court houses and magistrates, Politicians and houses of parliament, Scholars and universities, clergy and places of worship or where the individual integrates into the wider world.
The Nature of Capricorn
Capricorn creates an environment for the planets within it to instigate actions but not in an abrupt way. To be grounded in day to day routines yet be adaptable to those routines and nurtures a pessimistic environment where safety flourishes over optimism. Time is a key factor as the longer spent in the Capricorn environments more disciplined structure either creates solutions to difficulties or shuts them down, whereas with opportunities or talents it creates solid realities and manifestations.
Manifestations of Jupiter in Capricorn
Firstly, Jupiter is in detriment in Capricorn the sign oppose its exaltation of Cancer, these opposite signs create opposing environments for the planet to operate in. So, Jupiter excels in Cancer because its environment allows Jupiter to be its authentic self. But in Capricorn it is curtailed by its environment and can’t manifest in its most natural way. Now all opposing signs have commonalities, and in this case it’s that both Cancer and Capricorn are Cardinal Feminine signs. So, Jupiter will still instigate during this transit and it will do so subtly. However, unlike in Cancer Capricorns dower and dry environment will not allow Jupiter to be so optimistic and growth will be curtailed. Capricorns regimentation will neutralise Jupiter’s flamboyance and create structure and rules for Jupiter to adhere to before allowing growth or expansion. This is why if individuals or organisations operate in a dignified manner business, government and institutions will often set firm foundations under this transit, but if they act in an undignified way then they may come unstuck. Jupiter naturally signifies, court houses and magistrates, Politicians and houses of parliament, Scholars and universities, clergy and places of worship etc, these natural significators of Jupiter will be regulated, restricted, challenged and given due reward or ridicule over the course of this transit.

Conclusion of Jupiter in Capricorn
The common themes that occurred throughout the above years are foundational in nature, political and organizational. Structured expansion and discipline were rewarded while greed over optimism and unruly behaviour brought downfalls. In looking forward knowing what we have learnt from the previous transits and knowing our current climate, I would assume the following areas to be affected in 2020 and be of interest. In the 2020 USA election look for the candidate with the best foundation and discipline, they may be slow to grow with a broad base of organisation. Olympic games in Tokyo could have political tensions in 2020 depending how Tokyo handles restrictions, sanctions or boycotts regarding North Korea Nuclear issues. Will we see another breakthrough with the Aids virus every 2nd of the last four transits we have! are we due again in 2020? The years containing Nixon’s Watergate and Clintons misdemeanours being discovered were during this cycle, the years preceding them where impeachment enquiry years. So, trumps enquiry has already started this points to them solidifying the impeachment during the transit.
