JUPITER in the birth chart reveals the child's future aspirations, and how he seeks to grow and improve himself. It also indicates areas of natural confidence, success, or "luck."
Jupiter in Capricorn:
X will be worldly wise and uncommonly sensible and realistic, for a child. He is inherently ambitious and pragmatic, and adults may be surprised when he expresses interest in such "mature" topics as economics, office politics, and so on. His future aspirations include being successful in very concrete terms, and he wants to know the rules so he can "play the game" well.
A gift for and interest in money can be encouraged by setting up a bank account for which he is responsible and teaching him about buying and selling when he accompanies you on errands. He also naturally understands the value of discipline and delaying gratification for some future benefit (i.e., "If we don't buy ice cream for a week, we can all go to the carnival on Saturday.")
Jupiter in 5th house:
X has a pronounced gambling streak, and he's often a winner in games of chance. He also thoroughly enjoys any sort of outdoor games or activities and loves being free in the open air. He's a good sport, too, because he simply enjoys playing. When he loses, he usually does so graciously--and then starts another game with a smile on his face. In fact, his enthusiasm for play will not be something he outgrows, but will instead be the secret of his success in life. This free-flowing, playful attitude will enable him to be abundantly creative.
Jupiter Conjunct Saturn:
X is apt to have a very constructive relationship with his father or, if not, to seek out other fatherly figures to guide and teach him how to make his way in the world. Positive male influences are definitely something he will seek out and find. He feels empowered when he is taught practical skills he will one day need in the adult world, and would enjoy seeing his parents in their work setting. Given encouragement, he would be one of the most conscientious workers around!
Jupiter Conjunct Pluto:
X has very strong ambitions and aspirations, though he may be disinclined to divulge the nature or the extent of them. He achieves almost magical results when he makes a decision and directs his will. He doesn't avoid difficult experiences either, but actually seeks them out to learn and grow from. His powers of recuperation and regeneration are excellent also.
