Astrology and Success

One way or another nearly all aspects of life find a mirror in astrology. Whether it be the good or bad, the internal or external; some combination of astrological elements can be found to represent it. In essence, astrology is a symbolic matrix of life and the world around us. For some, this defines something beautiful; that astrology may be a bridge between ourselves and our part of the cosmos.

We may not be able to explain why astrology works, yet; but for thousands of years people have been learning how to work with it. One of the key areas of interest in the world today is, success. So what does astrology say about success?

The Success Planet

The planet to look at as being the primary indicator of success is Jupiter. Jupiter relates to expansion, optimism, joy, freedom and goodwill; these are words we might use to define success. But of course Jupiter is just one element in a person's horoscope. It may exert a strong and significant role or it may be overshadowed by a stronger configuration of astrological elements.

The Value of Successful People

Famous and successful people provide us with a unique opportunity to assess the merits and relevance of astrology, and in particular Jupiter. In looking at the horoscopes of successful people we would naturally expect Jupiter to be well-placed. And it is surprising just how often that is the case.

If we look at the horoscopes of Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, and the Dalai Lama; we find that they all show the same basic relationship betwee
Jupiter and the Sun - and it is a very positive and dominant one. When a strong connection forms between the Sun and Jupiter, it indicates that a key part of success relates directly and personally to the individual.

The Visibility of Success

Some people can achieve success and yet not be seen or known as being successful. Others engineer success as an activity in their lives or as a duty of achievement or as a challenge that inspires them. In such cases Jupiter often shows no strong direct connection with the Sun.
