Jupiter in Capricorn Personality
Jupiter broadens Capricorn's enterprising attitude to conceive a veritable business person with their eyes on the prize. While its precursors may have coasted on chance, Jupiter in Capricorn knows how to toil to get what they want. "Unable" is an unfamiliar concept for other people, as they tend to make things happen. Despite their focus on work and achievement, Jupiter in Capricorn is hardly a dull placement.
Beneath that ambition and sober persona is a sarcastic entertainer who knows how to let their hair down. However, this side of Capricorn Jupiter isn't for public consumption. Only with their nearest and dearest do they let their wild side free. Public perception is, after all, a hangup of these folks.
Positive Traits
Though a lot of their success can be attributed to their stellar work ethic, the favor of Jupiter shouldn't be underestimated. Seemingly from out of the blue, massive career opportunities fall into their laps. Due to the natural stamina of the sign, they rarely falter in these prime positions and continue where others may have collapsed.
However, self-belief also plays a large role in Capricorn Jupiter's success story. The planet of blessings relieves some of the heaviness caused by Capricorn's ruling planet, Saturn, finally allowing them to breathe. No longer wallowing in self-loathing, they can further devote themselves to their goals.
Negative Traits
Cautious appraisal is the name of the Capricorn game. Realism is practical but incompatible with the nature of Jupiter. Therefore, they don't always fully draw on Jupiter's blessings. Additionally, since Capricorn's ambition is inflated here, those with this placement risk becoming professionally cut-throat if they're not careful.
While Jupiter blesses them with additional positivity, even the planet of expansion can't completely sweep away Saturn's pessimism. In this way, Jupiter in Capricorn natives still tend toward dejection when their plans don't pan out as they'd intended. They may blame themselves for mishaps that were completely out of their control.
Conclusion
Saturn, Capricorn's ruling planet, and Jupiter have never been fast friends. The limiting nature of the former and the boundlessness of the latter often clash. However, Jupiter in Capricorn manages to find peace between the two, forming a personality that both dares to dream and understands the geography of the road to success. Jupiter in Capricorn reminds us that our dreams are in hand if only we buckle up and down to chase them.
However, as softening as Jupiter is, Capricorn's high-minded ambitions remain, making for a brutal business person at its worst. As a result, those with their Jupiter must keep in mind that success is neither everything nor the only thing.
