In Aquarius, an air sign, it works through ideas and people. Its aspect on the 10th (Gemini) reaches the career from here.

Financially, wealth grows through wisdom, ethics and patient accumulation. Its aspect on the 2nd (Libra) reaches savings and family wealth.

Family and home

At home, elders, children and family values are a source of protection. For the home itself, Jupiter (lord of Sagittarius, the 4th) is the main witness. As 4th lord, though, it carries home and mother into work, health and rivals.

When it gives results: the Jupiter dasha
