The Astrological 3rd Decanate Jupiter Saturn Trick

If the planets, Ascendant and Midheaven are mostly in the 3rd Decanates, you can tweak your interpretation of a clients design, and lean towards a more “spiritual” analysis.

A person born with a 3rd Decanate emphasis is “set-up” to receive the spiritual elements of the field, so try to filter your interpretation by emphasizing they are here to discover how the spiritual is going to be carried out in this reality and what tests are going to play out.

The planet Jupiter is responsible for the 3rd Decanate. Jupiter steps down the cosmic law into bite sized pieces of belief systems necessary for the functioning of our physical reality. It’s not the pure spiritual gnosis of Neptune but the more generic forms necessary for our physical laws.

If you examine the glyph of Jupiter, it is a cross + (which symbolizes physical materiality) with a half crescent (which symbolizes soul). It is soul expressing and expanding into physical reality. Soul is Spirit’s representative/middleman in Human form.

Since Jupiter will be an important indicator of this person’s purpose and inclination, it would be wise to also look at Jupiter’s placement in the Natal chart and its relationship to the particular 3rd Decanate planets by sign and house to get an even more detailed understanding of the dynamics. The House placement will give you even more nitty-gritty details about “where” in a person’s life these influences tend to create events in the person’s life. The last of the Decanate tricks.

Also, consider Saturn and his aspects to the 3rd Decanate planets and placement in the Natal chart. Jupiter and Saturn are a pair; Jupiter the positive pole and Saturn the negative, conducting the electricity of the Universe through this physical reality. Saturn by sign and house will show where Jupiter’s expansive concepts will be flow toward the negative pole of Saturn to be molded and tempered in a crystallized form.
