Jupiter  represents our need for faith, trust and confidence in life and ourselves. Its house placement indicates an area where we naturally want to expand and the sign it is in exhibits an energy we understand and believe in. The condition of Jupiter’s dispositor  (Jupiter’s ruler) shows how easy it will be for the native to utilize their Jupiterian energy and have this faith in life. The native  will use the resources indicated by Jupiter’s sign and  house placement to try to bring about that which is indicated by the houses  Jupiter rules: those in the signs of  Sagittarius and Pisces. 

Marie Curie’s Jupiter is at 28 degrees  Aquarius 00′ in the 2nd house.  The second house is called the house of VALUES and it pertains to our actual values such as money and possessions as well as how we value ourselves; our self-worth and our self-esteem. Aquarius is about the need to innovate, be original and create social change. The enemy of the Aquarian vibe is ‘the tribal instinct’, peer pressure, conformity and the ‘desire to fit in’. A motto for Aquarius is, “I will be sane, even if that means everyone else thinks I am crazy!” Although Aquarius is a sign about individualistic freedom and extremism the end goal of Aquarius as a universal sign is to improve society/humanity. In Marie Curie’s chart Jupiter rules the 12th house of what is hidden in Sagittarius as well as the 3rd house of communication in Pisces.

Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, therefore because Jupiter is in the sign of Aquarius, Saturn is Jupiter’s ruler or ‘dispositor’. Saturn is square to Jupiter in the natal chart. The square angle is an active adversarial aspect and the friction it produces will cause situations that must be acknowledged. Squares are generally unpleasant to deal with and represent life challenges or patterns of life challenges. Jupiter’s status as the greater benefic planet places it in one of the most desirable category of planets to have a square aspect with. In fact most often a square with  Jupiter can be considered benefic. Marie Curie’s chart is a ‘day’ chart because the Sun is above the line of the horizon. In a day chart, Jupiter is the  most benefic planet and Saturn is the lesser malefic of the two malefics (Saturn and Mars). Saturn in this case is also conjunct Venus, the other benefic planet. We could expect this square between Jupiter and it’s ruler to produce positive results both in the 11th house (benefits from career/contributions to society) and in the 2nd house (self-esteem, personal values as well as possessions and values.) 

Marie Curie had a need for faith in individualistic freedom and innovation. (Jupiter in Aquarius) She was broadminded in seeing the needs of society (Jupiter in Aquarius) Marie Curie used her resources, both her personal time and effort as well as her money and values to try to help her community (Jupiter benefic in the second house  personal values rules third house community in Pisces compassion for all that suffers). She contributed to the higher knowledge of humanity (Jupiter Benefic in the 2nd house personal values rules Mercury information/knowledge in Sagittarius higher knowledge/philosophy in the 12th house the collective).
