You need new, intensely challenging experiences to feel on your right path. 

Even if the rest of your birth chart is an energetic fix of settled and reserved, you crave the rush of the edge.  

You've got a secret jet-propulsion system if your Jupiter is in Aries.  Every now and then, you surprise everyone and take a wild risk.  You take charge at work as a leader, or quit a job that's become soul sapping.

  There's more than a touch of the Fool (from the Tarot) in you.

You find your faith when you're able to wipe the slate clean, and start again.  You might be ruthless at times (to others' eyes) in pushing your re-set button.  But to grow, you need the experience of being free and unburdened by the expectations of the past.

A Natural Bounce

Aries is the fresh green of Spring, and first shoots.  You experience Jupiter's synchronicity when you trust your instincts, even if that means going it alone or dashing ahead of everyone else.  There could be times in your life when you've got to go your own way and that's that. 

And this is a big question for those with Jupiter in Aries.  Since we want to look at the whole chart -- holistically -- let's pose the questions.  What's cheering on your daring Jupiter?  What puts out the Aries fire?  What in your chart tempers the flash action of Aries with traits like tact or a sense of timing?

Jupiter's Stretching Machine

Jupiter in our lives is the constellation of passions and "signs" -- recurring themes -- that lead us toward fulfilling our true purpose.

  Sometimes it's called the golden thread of meaning.  Jupiter shows us how to grow, by acting on these clues.

If we stray too far off course, a chance meeting or event brings it all back.  Jupiter rules luck and allies that come into our lives for a reason.  Jupiter's leading the way in those times when the path is cleared, or there's a plot twist that feels fated.  That's those events that happen and feel so right, but you couldn't have foreseen it.  Jupiter brings surprises of the very best kind.

With your Jupiter in Aries, you are stretched when you act on an original idea.  You expand when you focus all your energy on a single goal.  Some see results from being multi-taskers - not you.  Your most impressive moves come from harnessing all your vitality in a singular direction.

That's what stands Aries apart -- there is intense force unleashed in a kind of pure form.  It's pristine often because it's coming from the Self and the power of self-motivation. 

Thrills and Spills?

Jupiter exaggerates the traits of Aries -- quick on the draw, impetuous, looking before you leap.  Does this make you more accident prone?  Or have you learned to temper that impulsiveness with some caution for safety's sake?

Aries learns from doing, and sometimes that brings more risk since so much raw energy is the driving force.  Sometimes you fall on your face -- spectacularly.  But along the way you win admirers and supporters, who cheer you on in your next attempt. 

The rewards come from experiencing that charge of what might happen, and going for it! 

There are many kinds of risks, not all of them physical.  There can be thrills of creating or inventing, or venturing out in the world through travel.  You could be a pioneering parent, a hero/heroine in your child's life, for example. 

You somehow stand out, whether it's as a designer, a friend or a creative artist.
