It is always of interest to document the manifestation of an archetype. In a companion paper (The Tripartite God of Ancient Greece), the hypothesis was advanced that, even in the millenium before the birth of Jesus Christ, there existed an archetype for the mature, individuated man. That archetype was the image of the god Zeus, or as the Romans named HimJupiter. In that companion paper, it is noted that relatively few adult men made the leap from the archetype of "Kronos" (an archetype of the repressed masculine tyrant king in consensus consciousness) to that of "Zeus" (the King of the Gods). In fact, it is impossible to know relatively how many, but modern estimates from Jeff Green, creator of the field of Evolutionary Astrology, suggests as many as one out of five modern adult men may be in the process of individuation and therefore manifesting the qualities of the Jupiterian Man in modern times. He estimates that perhaps 75 percent of all persons (and males) are stuck in consensus consciousness acting out the neuroses of the Kronos archetype. . It is thought-provoking to realize that only in the ancient art of astrology is there today any effort to document the qualities of manifesting individuation in the context of this ancient, three-millenia-old masculine image. Although there are many works in modern psychology that work with this concept of individuation generally, one of the more interesting is Steven Arroyos book Exploring Jupiter, which takes advantage of the huge astrological databases available to practitioners today on the behavioral, attitudinal, and psychological characteristics of clients of astrologists. This paper serves as a summary of his findings. In addition, it includes some of my own observations on the manifestation of this archetypal pattern of behavior. The Jupiter Principle is obedience and subservience to what is perceived as a higher authority, such as the soul, God or the Higher Self . Jupiterian Man embodies the archetype of Zeus or the Philosopher King, holding wisdom, justice, beneficence, benevolence, kindness, tolerance and broad-mindedness as his guiding principles . Jupiterian Man seeks to grow through creative activity and visions, self-expression, and the warm support of others . Among the qualities of Jupiterian Man, the following exemplify the manifestation of this archetype: . He has pride in his own will to be something new constantly . He intuitively hacks into other peoples issues

. He trusts in a higher order and has faith in life . He has a well-developed sense of showmanship, a charismatic personality, and an outgoing expressiveness . He seeks to serve others less fortunate than himself . He needs an ideal beyond ego and short-sighted ambitions to motivate him . He needs to follow his heart in grand visions . He loves preaching his inspired truth, is altruistic and high-minded . He empowers others to follow their own truths . He is a Seeker of the Unknown, an adventurer . He is intuitive and empathetic rather than rationalistic . He needs to align his life to higher aims, soul-will or a revealed truth . He feels the meaning to his life is critical in choosing his directions . He has an urge to communicate . He is unpredictable . His mantra is "Self expression as ones purpose in life" . He is rarely influenced by others and their ideas . He believes in the Principle of Mankind as a Unity Principle . He avoids perfectionism through the forgiving of personal faults

. He yearns for "freedom of thought" . Jupiterian Man uses his passion to explore Creation as his mode of learning. He seeks higher truths to enter the unknown constantly. This is Jupiter as a Path of Learning. . Jupiterian Man seeks an perspective on life from which he can live in passionate experience instead of preoccupation with details or petty problems . Jupiterian Man is at peace with himself and with life. He came to that state of happiness through prolonged and difficult work on his own mind and states of consciousness. In this work, he freed himself from his past attachments, his fear of life and death, his neurotic cravings, and his fear of the feminine part of himself. He learned what love was and how destructive the abuse of power was. And he learned to accept others as they are and not to interfere in their lives or to offer unasked for advice. As a result, he no longer wastes his life force and is filled with vigor and love for his life. With negative emotions and issues no longer pulling him down, he is able to live in the present and look into the coming moments to see what new things might be manifesting. He faces each new day with humor and laughter, and he faces the challenges life places before him with a sense of play. . As a healthy, individuated man, Jupiter Man no longer attracts or invites negative and difficult people into his life. Instead, he enjoys encounters with new people and communicates without agendas. His positive attitudes and pleasure with life instead attract interesting new friends. . Jupiteran Man requires Saturns grounding and stabilizing influence in order to stay in balance. Saturn is the Roman name for the Greek god, Kronos, who is a Titan and therefore a god of earth. He represents the responsibility principle in society and the desire to "fit in" socially. Jupiter creates a "pull upward to Heaven" through devotion to his Higher Principle, so to stay grounded in mundane reality Jupiter Man thus needs the grounding principle of the Saturn archetype to stay grounded and focused upon life processes on earth. . As Jupiter requires Saturns "reality principle" to stay grounded, Jupiterian high mindedness needs the Mercury archetypes communication arts, amoral innocence, access to the Underworld, and his role as psycho pomp, to stay connected to mundane reality and access the reaches of the inner psyche. The Mercury archetype assists Jupiterian Man in seeking practical wisdom, life in the expanded present, inspired reasoning, meaningful diversity, the communication of wisdom, the exploration of mind, and purposeful interaction with others.

. This relationship to the Mercury archetype turns the Jupiter Man towards seeking meaning in the realm of mythology. Myth connects him to the Divine Drama in Nature and the Divine Persons (personalizations) of the Divine in the gods and goddesses in the mythology of his culture. Through these Creation stories and mythology, he acquires understanding of principles of Divine manifestation into Matter and is able to internalize these principles as his own personal dance in the Mystery of Creation. Through mythology, he perceives himself as a part of the Divine Dance and Mystery, and in this realization he finds meaning in both his suffering and his joys. . Although the Mercury archetype continues to play a role in Jupiterian Mans interest in life process as a learning process, in time Jupiterian Man realizes that Mercurys reliance upon "language, concepts, or ideas" limits his learning process because language itself limits perception, understanding and experience. This is because language intercedes between mind and experience by forming a subjective and distorted psychic structure of knowledge and information within the mind. That mental structure interferes with learning because it tends to be used in place of direct experience and staying present in the world. Instead of remaining open and present in life, Jupiterian Man may turn inward, thinking within his established mental model of the world, and project his conclusions out upon Reality. All too often, this individual, subjective mental structure of information, beliefs, values, unconscious assumptions, and philosophical tenets becomes the stand-in for "Reality". Included in this mental model are unconscious assumptions about the nature of Reality, and thus reliance upon language trips up the process of experiential learning. . Jupiterian learning repeatedly is tripped up until the nature of this limitation is recognized. At some point, Jupiterian Man frees himself from language and quiets his mind, thoughts and emotional reactions in order to relate directly to his outer world as a higher learning paradigm. This step in his growth is a preparation for a transition to a higher principle of living than is represented by the Jupiterian Principle. . In time, Jupiterian Man begins to lose interest in accessing the Mercurian archetype. He discovers that no matter how much information he brings in and stores in his internal mental model, how many people he discusses his interests with, how much analysis he does concerning his inner dynamic or outer experience, he can never expect to comprehend his world. Pressing the edges of his mental resources results in only periodic collapses in the inner mental model, leaving him in chaos and confusion for prolonged periods of time. He also sees that people around him ghost by in tune to their own inner dialogues, disinterested and uncomprehending of what he is experiencing. In time, he loses interest in this mode of learning, prefering to bathe in pure silent experience of the world, feeling his way along intuitively, and following the energetic currents around him. When this happens, he begins to lose interest in trying to communicate his experiences or inner knowing to others, because what he is experiencing cannot be communicated in "words, concepts or images." With this realization, Jupiterian Man withdraws into solitude quietly waiting to see what will "happen next." His eye becomes tuned to the

Divine Drama invisibly shaping the events of ordinary life. . As his interest in conceptual, written and spoken language diminishes, Jupiter Man becomes aware of the phenomenon called "synchronicity" by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. He notices coincidences all around him that create meaningful paths of learning and discovery. And so he begins to follow these paths of coincidences from day to day, and to use them to determine what "he is meant to learn." This is the Uranian Principle of Synchronous Events, which gives him an impression of a outside agency coordinating experience for the seeker...perhaps the soul, a High Self, a guide, or even the Ultimate Divine Source itself. Unpredictable and ambigious, this principle cannot be relied upon continuously but seems to intervene at critical points in life and in particular aspects of life to shatter the behavior patterns brought forward from the past, clear the table for new behavior adaptions to current needs and direct him into new directions. . These connecting relations among planetary archetypes illustrate the principle that no archetype is independent of mythic interconnections or complementing archetypal patterns. In fact, it is these connections between archetypes which help to stabilize archetypal behavior and guide the evolution of mankind into higher principles. This is the metaphysical principle that "we are all connected", as are the stages of individuation and evolutionary development. . Jupiterian Man learns by exploring his own mind and by watching the World. He realizes that his understanding is subjective and that he cannot realize objective knowledge of Reality from the narrow perspective of a human being and with the limitations of mind and understanding human's struggle under. . Although he is likely to accept Natural Law as "Reality", Reality in society, to him, is merely a set of social agreements which all together are pathological in their impacts upon the psyche and lead those who participate in those agreements into psychological, emotional and spiritual unwellness. Therefore, he is non-conformist and strongly individualistic. His own mind, and not the world, is his Unknown and he is fascinated with the Mysteries of Existence. The World--especially the Natural World--is his Instructor. In this way, he learns to follow and learn from Reality As It Is, but is not likely to accept othersas his learning exemplars. . Jupiterian Man learns through deep and wise participation in and understanding of mundane experiences while simultaneously preserving his own unique nature . The Jupiterian Man is the very image of a whole, individuated man who is realizing his full adult potential. . Jupiterian learning is no longer found in academia, where Mercurian data analysis and

logic has become so entrenched . Because Jupiterian Man is subjective, he realizes that the understandings of other people are likewise subjectiveeven when they insist that they see Reality objectively. Thus, Jupiterian Man is not likely to waste energy on arguing over what is right and what is wrong, or to worry overmuch about others views of him. . Jupiterian Man is likely to be extremely self-contained and self reliant. . The Jupiterian Man carries unconscious loyalties to traditional religion and assumptions from traditional religion which often conflict with his needs to open to new experiences of the Divine. These loyalities may serve as barriers to further evolution so long as they remain unconscious because they are usually ideals generated by remaining neurotic needs rather than purely archetypal. . Jupiterian Mans energy is ambiguous, intangible, hard to express or define clearly . Jupiterian Man needs time alone to explore his inner world; he may be found on the sidelines of social life in his community and prefers solitude over joining groups and community organizations. He tends to slip in and out of social organizations rather than maintaining a constant membership or take a leadership role because he finds the pressure to conform and integrate into the group uncomfortable. He is not comfortable with a static identity or with the loss of individual freedom to express his sometimes radical or revolutionary viewpoints. He recognizes that any group can function as a control mechanism over its members. A related archetype to Jupiter is the tarot's "Hermit" archetype. . Jupiterian Man may manifest the talent or art of Seership. . Jupiterian Man is the symbol of health and sanity, of inner integration and successful living. His eye is on the Journey through Lifenot the goal. . Jupiterian Man feels a need to impact "large concerns", to make a difference in his world. However he resists taking big responsibilities in community organizations because those imply a loss of individual freedom and loss of solitude. This fact reveals the transitional status of this stage in the individuation process because Jupiterian Man can only serve by surrendering these personal preferences for freedom and independence that are still so important to him. . He follows the principle of focused transformation driven by mundane action to stay well here in the physical as the means of exploring the Principles of Higher Meanings. The

Jupiterian is working from a strong and resilient ego using personal will to explore the world and the mind. He takes authority for making the decisions in his life. . In time, the Jupiterian learner enters an energy of the Neptune archetype, or Piscian energy. This further evolves the individuating learner into these higher energies and pulls his interest away from sole focus upon mundane experiences. In Neptunes energy, the learner experiences dissolution of the ego and with it the personal will. Neptunian learning requires submission to a higher power not definable in terms of traditional religious concepts. . Both Neptune and Jupiter yearn for freedom, seek personal growth and transformation, represent super conscious needs, hold to higher ideals, tend towards a religious, metaphysical or philosophical interpretation of life. But Neptunes energy is less accessible, less comprehensible than Jupiters; and its perceptions, if expressable at all, can only be expressed in poetry or music or art. Jupiter is more concerned with expressable knowledge, philosophy, and higher mental/abstract pursuits. Both Jupiter and Neptunian learning can lead one into glamour or illusion. . As he begins to experience the energies of Neptune, Jupiterian Man eventually learns to balance his Jupiterian character against that of Neptune to transcend his unconscious reliance upon the symbols and concepts of traditional religion and to align more to the energies of the indefinable. Neptunes influence moves the Jupiterian Learner in more mystical directions, away from total reliance upon separateness and the mundane and away from ego and will. . Moving beyond the stage of evolution represented by the Jupiter archetype and into Neptune's dominion means moving into a union with the Divine Source and thereby moving beyond duality, language, mythologies, and the need for meaning. In these later stages, the individual loses his identity as a person and individual, becoming the channel for Divine expression itself in the physical. What is realized and understood in these later stages is impossible to express in language or image but is felt as the energy of Love and Compassion. . In other words, the archetype of Jupiter is not the highest principle of individuation. The highest principle in life on earth tends to be represented by the Neptunian Principle, which manifests in the form of "Spiritual man"the Avatar.
