Aspects
Descendant Opposition Jupiter
Your own optimism and breadth stand at the self-pole, pressing on the relationship axis. With Jupiter opposite your Descendant, falling on the Ascendant, you bring generosity, faith, and a large vision directly into your partnerships, meeting a close other with warmth and expansive good will. You are nobody's small presence in love; a partner meets your enthusiasm, your generosity, and your need for a relationship that grows. The gift is a benevolent, broadening way of relating. The shadow is overwhelming a partner with your bigness, over-promising, or making a bond carry more than is realistic. The lifelong task is to keep your generous spirit while leaving real room for a partner's own measure, meeting as equals rather than as benefactor and beneficiary.
Lean in — Keep your generous spirit while honoring a partner's own measure.
Watch for — Overwhelm a partner with your bigness or over-promise.
