Venus and Jupiter aspects

Your gifts are always slightly too generous, and your friends have stopped arguing with you about it.

Venus is love, pleasure and taste; Jupiter is growth and plenty. The tradition called them the two benefics, the kindly planets, so any aspect between them sweetens a chart. How they meet says whether the sweetness nourishes or overflows.

Venus conjunct Jupiter

You are affectionate, sociable and generous, with a taste for beauty, comfort and celebration, and people feel lucky to know you. A conjunction this kindly brings good things easily, and invites a little too much of them.

Venus trine or sextile Jupiter

Happiness comes naturally. Your relationships are warm, your tastes refined and your outlook hopeful, and good things reach you through the people you love. The trine gives freely; the sextile rewards your openness.

Venus square or opposite Jupiter

Too much of a good thing: overspending, overindulging, idealising love, or promising more affection than you can give. The square drives a hunger for more pleasure; the opposition brings partners who are too generous, or ask too much. Knowing when you have enough turns the same warmth into a generosity people never forget.
