Re: Looking at the whole chart, to gaer
Like any other outer planet return, the Jupiter return signifies that one period of growth is ending, and a new one beginning. It doesn't mean everything will be just peachy with the new cycle - it may be the very opposite - bad things will happen to enact major changes, which result in a new cycle of growth. My last Jupiter return occured one month before my 2nd wife and I separated, which was an incredibly difficult time for me. We eventually divorced, and many many things have happened since then, many of them very positive.
My previous return occurred the same month I started college, just before I left the military for good. It began a long difficult process of getting through school, working incredibly hard, and getting into the civilian work force. Many positive things happened after.
The previous return to that occured at the exact same time my parents separated and divorced. It began another huge cycle of growth and change. Good things may occur in the Jupiter growth and change, but sometimes old stuff has to go away first.
