J U P I T E R I N A R I E S
Jupiter is the expansive, jolly, and humorous planet. It is open to new experience and wants to grow and stretch to a greater sense of self. The self-improvement movement is ruled by Jupiter. So are the jovial business types who finance large ventures and travel around the world. Cowboys, who live in the out of doors and the wide-open spaces, are Jupiterian. Snobbery, greed, opportunism, and superiority are also Jupiterian (its less pleasant sides). Jupiterians are invariably "reasonable" people. The "old boys" are the Jupiterians in a club.
Aries are the direct, fiery, driven people of the zodiac. They start enterprises then give them up just as they get going. Why should they be limited by success? These are the initiators, the pioneers. If you want a straight, direct answer -- ask an Aries. They can be pushy. Aries is convinced the way to the top is through inner drive.
When Jupiter is in Aries, the image is the door of opportunity being flung open. Another image is someone grabbing at a potential, whether a potential for growth, money, or greater room. There can also be a pushy superiority when this energy is operating from ego -- or a tendency to try to force opportunities to manifest when their time isn't ripe. Jupiter in Aries says, "swing wide the doors of opportunity -- if there isn't an opportunity opening soon enough, kick open the door".
Aries is an aggressive, driving sign -- its main image is the battering ram. If there is no opportunity, Jupiter in Aries will make an opportunity. There can be a wolf-like quality to Jupiter in Aries since the drive of Aries can combine with the greed of Jupiter to create an aggressive greediness which is not aware of the longer range goals -- naked opportunism has also surfaced with Jupiter in Aries. On the more positive side, Jupiter in Aries has resulted in straight-forward openness. Desire and aggression are more open, and more naked. In general, the people born with Jupiter in Aries and the years when Jupiter was in Aries were more "raw".
In general, the Jupiter in Aries periods were times of strife, inventiveness, and open sensuality. They had that "open frontier" quality.

The films of the time are about war, open sexuality, aggression, and full-out greed
(but they are all good films!):
Dirty Dancing, Fatal Attraction, Full Metal Jacket (war), Last Emperor, Lethal Weapon, the Witches of Eastwick,
and Wall St. This was the time of glasnost in the Soviet Union (which means "openness"). The Bonfire of the
Vanities was in the bookstores. Black Monday hit the stock market.
1975 - 1976
"Jaws" was in the movies (nature red in tooth...), so was "Rocky". The Vietnam War was ending and
Pol Pot was coming to power in Cambodia (massacre of millions for the sake of purity).
1963 - 1964
The Profumo Sex Scandal erupted in Great Britain. The Hot Line was initiated to keep the lines of communication
open between the two aggressors in the cold war. "Irma La Douce" about a prostitute, "Tom Jones" about ribaldry,
and "Dr. Strangelove" about
the dark humor of the cold war. For the nature red award, "The Birds" by Hitchcock. Bob Dylan and Joan Baez
were folk singers with a wide popularity at the time. Martin Luther King led 200,000 Freedom Marchers to
Washington, D.C. Kennedy assasinated in November of 1963.
1951 - 1952
"The African Queen" and "A Streetcar Named Desire" were in the movies. Refinement meets "raw" nature and
"raw" humanity in the "African Queen" and raw desire and intensity flamed in "A Streetcar Named Desire". The
Korean War was fought during this time, naked aggression of North Korea against South Korea. "The Cruel Sea" and
"The Caine Mutiny". During the Jupiter in Pisces/Jupiter in Aries periods there are many works about the aggression
and wars at sea.
1939 - 1940
The "appeasement" of the Jupiter in Pisces period gave way to the acknowledgement of Hitler's naked aggression
and need for world domination with Jupiter in Aries. Chamberlain gives way to Churchill. People are reading "The
Grapes of Wrath". War goes against Britain during this period.
1927 - 1928
"Black Friday" in Germany, economic collapse (there is a tendency for stock markets to overheat with Jupiter
in Aries, and then burn out). The Nazi party program is announced, riots against Nazis begin. A year later the
U.S. stock market crashes as Neptune crosses the Leo/Virgo cusp.
1916 - 1917
This is the middle of World War I. Freud and Jung published major works on psychology.
1904 - 1905

Russo-Japanese War starts a month prior with Jupiter in Pisces, but most of it is fought with Jupiter in Aries.

1880 - 1881
"Ben Hur", first large steel furnace, Bingo!
1868 - 1869
Johnson impeached (HMMM!). The 14th amendment upholds individual rights against state government infringement.

George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde born (both with caustic wits). Bessemer process for steel.
1844 - 1845
Nietzche born (more caustic wit).
1833 - 1834
Davy Crockett's autobiography is a big seller (a pioneer if ever there was one). Alfred Nobel born (gunpowder fortune).
