Jupiter in Leo

Your child has Jupiter, the planet of opportunity in Leo, sign of dramatic self-expression. This doesn't necessarily mean that she will one day be on stage but she probably seeks opportunities (and jobs) that let her show off her special talents. Similarly, your child may love parades, pageants and religious ceremonies. In teaching her religion, you might want to employ cork boards, costumes and colorful illustrations. Inspiring others comes naturally to her, so she could do her best learning in teaching younger children. Bubbly and expressive (especially if personal planets are in fire signs as well), she takes pride in her accomplishments and looks to you for recognition of her works! Nevertheless, with Jupiter in the sign of the regal lion, she could roar or put on airs if she feels unnoticed! She could be arrogant and self-centered as well. Teach her the adage that she who would be great must also be able to serve! This placement could point to a career working with children, in entertainment, and lends itself toward leadership roles. Whilst your child likes to take the lead, help her find later success by stressing the importance of cooperation with others and teamwork.

Moon Trine Jupiter

Children born with this positive Moon/Jupiter aspect are basically optimistic by nature, affectionate and fun to be around. Your child may have a knack for finding assistance, and things just tend to work out well for her. In fact, her ability to rally support makes a public career of one kind or another quite probable. Success is indicated in education, politics, or the law. She knows how to attack and solve problems, whether personal or public. Chances are, your child has grace and social skills, and an ability to interact with many kinds of people. She may show a love for travel and foreign lands.

Mercury Opposite Jupiter

Beautiful dreamer, her mind may be light years away! The fact is that your child may spend a lot of time on thoughts that are far removed from the here and now! Many of these thoughts and ideas could prove to be impractical, and perhaps be more trouble than they are worth. You may discover that she is better off seeking advice than giving it, at least when it comes to practical matters! She needs to be taught good study habits while growing up at home and at school. She also needs to finish what she begins, and not promise more than she can deliver. With structure and established routines at home, you can help her turn her dreams into reality.

Seventh House: Relationships, Other People

The 7th house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carries us beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community and the like. Children with planets in this house seek to understand themselves through others. They are rarely alone. How does your child deal with competition? Is she able to hold her own in a match? Can she stand up against peer pressure? To succeed with 7th house issues, the child needs to feel secure within herself (1st house polarity.) Planets in the 7th house and the sign on the cusp can also provide clues about your child's interaction, as she matures, with the opposite sex. For instance, a child with Mars in this house or Aries on the cusp would likely be bold in relationships, and hence make friends easily. Nevertheless, she could incline toward arguments and contention (Mars) in close friendships (and later in marriage). She may, however, be willing to work hard (Mars) to make a relationship (7th house) work. The wise parent would teach this child the dangers of entering into relationships impulsively.

Jupiter in Seventh House

Your child likes having a close companion, but to be happy she will have to develop a strong sense of identity lest she be overly influenced by her friends. Her life path likely involves very close relationships with others. Even as a child she may show a desire to give to others. Teach her to discriminate in her choice of friends for the lessons she learns in youth will influence her choice of partner in adulthood. A basic honesty, and a strong sense of fairness generally make children with this placement popular. Your child may be adroit at settling disputes among friends. Unless afflicted, Jupiter in the 7th indicates a prosperous and fortunate marriage. Later she may be attracted to law, public relations, or sales.

Libra on the Seventh House Cusp

Libra energy is always facilitating and responsive, assuming the appropriate reaction or response to any question or statement. This is certainly the social sign par excellence. The affairs of the house with Libra on the cusp indicate where your child may enjoy working with a close pal; this may also be where she must learn lessons in cooperation. Libra can tie in the theme of beauty and diplomacy into the affairs of the house whose cusp it is on.
