Venus-Jupiter
Venus-Jupiter combines the pleasure, beauty, artistry, and love associated with the Venus archetype with the heights, expansion, richness, and broader horizon associated with Jupiter.
The Venus-Jupiter combination can be reflected in life in ways that include, but are not limited to, the practice of tolerance (Jupiter) in love (Venus), experience of the culturally diverse (Jupiter) love (Venus) and/or the appreciation of the culturally diverse (Jupiter) art (Venus), and a celebration (Jupiter) of love and friendship (Venus).
Below are examples of famous people born with this combination in their natal charts (natal chart is another word for astrological birth chart, or pictographic representation of the sky when they were born). When we witness how this combination shows up in the lives of others, we can become more self-aware of how this combination shows up in our own lives. The more we are conscious of the ways astrological alignments (otherwise known as “aspects”) show up in our lives, the more the archetypal tensions involved can become integrated in our lives, thus revealing inherent strengths to us.
Please note that the tension of this archetypal combination, as illustrated in the lives and creations of the famous people in the examples below, may be demonstrated in ways that are more integrated or less integrated.
The tendency of the Venus-Jupiter combination to combine the beauty, art, and value of the Venus archetype with the heights, increase and celebration of the Jupiter archetype can be seen in the chart and life of actress Scarlett Johansson, whose numerous accolades for her beauty include twice being named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine, as well as similar listings in half a dozen other publications. The high-ranking (Jupiter) value (Venus) of this combination can be seen in the actress’s title as the highest-grossing actress of all time in North America.
The largeness (Jupiter) of love and pleasure (Venus) can be seen in the multiple lovers of Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, born with this combination in his natal chart. On the other hand Jupiter-Venus can represent the lover (Venus) from another country or culture (Jupiter as the expanded horizon). Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima, demonstrates this side of the Venus-Jupiter combination in her natal chart with her marriage to Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric.
Jupiter’s association with heights and optimism often shows up as high ideals. The Jupiter-Venus combination in the natal chart of singer/songwriter Steve Winwood can be seen as the high ideal (Jupiter) of love (Venus) in his song titled “A Higher Love.”
The Venus-Jupiter combination as the big (Jupiter) love (Venus) can be seen in the song Gigantic performed by The Pixies and sung by Kim Deal, born with the Venus-Jupiter combination in her natal chart, the chorus of which is “gigantic, gigantic, gigantic, a big, big love”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B6qerZlczw
