Jupiter in Capricorn
On December 3, 2019,
Jupiter joined
Saturn and Pluto in
Capricorn. It will
remain there until
December 18, 2020.
Jupiter is commonly
seen as the planet
of luck and good
fortune, but it is
also the planet of
values and belief
systems. Capricorn
is a conservative
sign that places
value on hard work,
duty, and
responsibility.
This is not a
sympathetic
placement. You
should get what you
earn, not more, not
less.
The television
series Shark Tank
best illustrates the
values of Jupiter in
Capricorn.
Contestants pitch
their businesses to
multi-millionaire or
billionaire Sharks.
The Sharks have the
finances and
connections to
easily provide
assistance, but this
is no giveaway. The
Sharks take an
agreed upon
percentage of the
business in return
for investment
capital and help in
growing the
business.
Contestants whose
businesses show the
best potential and
current profits “get
a deal.” So, on one
hand, the Sharks are
lending a helping
hand in what might
be looked at as
altruistic behavior,
but on the other
hand are asking the
Capricorn question
of “what’s in it for
me?”
While the most
positive side of
Jupiter here, can
reflect a need to
restore ethical
standards in
business or
government, the
opposite can also be
true. Since Saturn
and Pluto are
already in
Capricorn, Jupiter’s
entry here can
intensify the
already repressive
side of these
planets. Jupiter
makes things bigger,
not necessarily
better.
Since Jupiter is
only in a sign for
one year, it is hard
to attribute events
to Jupiter alone,
but the following
are highlights of
past Jupiter in
Capricorn cycles:
2007-2008

(The

national health or
safety, and obtain
an 80-day injunction
to stop the
continuation of a

It is still in
effect.)
