Jupiter in Sagittarius
The next horizon is your idea of faith. In its own sign, Jupiter makes you a traveller, a learner and a teacher, generous with optimism and sure the world is larger than it looks.
You have a list of places you intend to see before you die, and it gets longer every time you cross one off.
Jovial
The word jovial comes from Jove, another name for Jupiter: the old astrologers said people born under the planet were cheerful, generous and good company, and the word stuck. Sagittarius is Jupiter’s own sign, so here the planet has everything it wants: open roads, big ideas, room to roam and people to tell about it. Expansion is your creed: the belief that the next place, the next book, the next conversation with a stranger will make you larger, and it usually does.
The teacher
You learn in order to share. The ninth house, this sign’s natural house, is the house of long travel and higher learning, and you live as if you owned it. Your shelves hold grammars of languages you meant to learn and a few you actually did. A new idea goes straight from your head to the nearest listener, with enthusiasm that is hard to resist. Teaching, publishing, travel, law, philosophy, anything that deals in meaning suits you. Why interests you far more than how, and you trust that the big picture will sort out the detail in time.
You have friends in countries you have visited once, and they would put you up tomorrow. Your generosity is your optimism. You tell people they can, and because you believe it, they start to.
A year on the road
Everyone born within your year shares this Jupiter: a generation of wanderers, arguers and believers, most of them with at least one passport stamp they are unreasonably proud of.
Too much of everything
At home, Jupiter holds nothing back, including the overreach. Your promises outrun your calendar, preach when you meant to share, and can be so certain of your view that you stop listening. Restlessness keeps you moving beyond the moment when staying would have been wiser. You can confuse freedom with never committing to anything at all.
When you finally sit down to tell the story of your life, it will take several evenings, and the people listening will want to hear every one of them.
