Jupiter creates conditions through which these qualities can bc expressed: health, as physical
harmony; law, as social harmony; religion, as spiritual harmony - not as channels of intellect,
or the means of making money. It represents judgment, power in the benevolent sense, profit,
good fortune, honesty, dignity - or just plain respectability.


At its best Jupiter is generous, expansive, genial, temperate, vital, benevolent, respectful, self-
controlled; but when frustrated it inclines to pride, dissipation, boastfulness, gambling,
extravagance, procrastination, complacency, hypocrisy.


Saturn: The concrete creative faculties: asceticism; practical ability to achieve the external
expression of thought forms; well ordered mind for the technical and concrete with an
emphasis on detail; inclined toward scientific research involving mathematics; the
conservative realist who asserts the authority of experience; secretive, noncommittal,

Normally fearful, secretive, cautious, defensive, binding, cold, hard, persevering, steadfast;
when frustrated Saturn develops avarice, materialism, ultra-conservatism, tradition-bound
narrow-mindedness, pessimism and fatalism.


Uranus: The iconoclastic tendency: characterized by an aloof, offhand manner and approach;

independence at any price; not readily amenable to any sort of control, much less to arbitrary
