Aspen the Mountain Pup sat on the wide porch of the old farmhouse, watching the moon rise. She had never seen it so bright. It reminded her of the time when she was a pup and her mother would take her out to watch it. Aspen felt a warm glow inside of her and she smiled. She missed her momma.

As the moon reached its zenith, Aspen saw a light in the sky. She got up to investigate and saw a spaceship landing on the nearby hill. As she watched, the light from the spaceship grew brighter and brighter until it was the brightest thing she had ever seen.

A figure emerged from the spaceship and Aspen gasped. It was her mother!

“Mom!” Aspen cried out.

Her mother ran to her and they hugged each other tightly.

“I’m so glad to see you, Aspen,” her mother said. “I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”

Aspen’s heart was filled with happiness and she felt like she was floating on a cloud. She couldn’t believe her good luck.

“What happened to you, Mom?” Aspen asked. “I never thought I’d see you again.”

“I was captured by the evil aliens and taken to their planet,” her mother said. “But I escaped and came here to find you. I thought you might be on the moon, so I landed here and looked for you.”

“I’m so glad you found me, Mom,” Aspen said. “I missed you so much.”

“I missed you too, baby,” her mother said. “Let’s go home and I’ll explain everything to you.”

Aspen the Mountain Pup,

Jupiter is the planet of luck and success. It is said that this planet gives its possessor everything they desire, from personal fortune, social prominence, professional prestige, high political position, to achieving their dreams and goals. The Jupiterian bounty is peerless!

In psychological terms, Jupiter has a much vaster significance. It is the biggest planet in the solar system, and it presides over the process of personal expansion. This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego. However, this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with you), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess. Although grandeur was the characteristic of the “king of the gods,” errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package.

It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one’s popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws. As a result, you must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with your social mask, which would cause you to neglect your inner self and deep nature.
