Jupiter Opposite Saturn
Jupiter is expansive and Saturn conservative. This is a definitive combination in astrology as these two planets are so different. When they meet, it’s a balancing act between an idealistic take on life and a prudent one, or between the extravagant and the thrifty.
The timing of your wedding may be significant somehow. Be sure things are planned well in advance to allow time to adapt to changing circumstances if necessary. Have contingency plans in place as there could be a delay. You might need a stand-in officiant, for example, or your relatives from out of town may get tied up in air traffic. In planning a destination wedding, be extra careful about travel and lodging in advance.
Don’t take anything for granted or demand too much from parents, your fiancé or even the caterer. Jupiter wants to do things in a big way but the astrology of Saturn may force a simpler solution. If it looks like releasing a hundred butterflies at the wedding ceremony will be a heroic effort, compromise. Don’t force issues and don’t insist on a big project if it seems to resist falling into place.
The true joy and happiness your family and friends feel at your wedding could be muted somewhat by circumstance, physical distance or even the status quo. (With Jupiter opposite Saturn, though, Uncle Harry may get drunk, but he’s unlikely to grab the mic from the D.J. or dance on the table – someone responsible will intervene.)
This wedding astrology advises brainstorming but moving ahead gradually with important decisions. Perhaps this is simply a sign of the economic times. Jupiter opposite Saturn suggests that you as a couple dream big, but exercise care and caution in your finances. Keep looking to the future in thinking about buying a home, starting a family or making any major investments, but don’t rush in too quickly toward achieving your goals.
You may have different spending styles and differences of opinion about investments, insurance, major purchases and other financial matters. Learn to discuss these things openly; negotiate and compromise. We are all limited by something; try to identify your restrictions and work within that framework over time. You could have differing personal styles, religious convictions or cultural backgrounds. Look toward finding a middle ground rather than labeling your spouse “wrong.”
For those who believe in reincarnation, Jupiter and Saturn are a karmic combination in astrology, especially wedding astrology. There is something you need to learn together or do together that will take patience, understanding and faith. When you do the work, however, you should be richly rewarded for your efforts.
