Jupiter in Aries

Jupiter in Aries symbolizes high self-esteem, confidence, and leadership qualities. You're enterprising, direct, have lots of energy, enjoy philosophy or religion, and value freedom and independence. You will benefit through your travels, and use them as a means to learn and to grow. If Jupiter is square, opposed or inconjunct Mars, you have a tendency towards extravagance and hasty judgment. You like taking the initiative, and can be courageous or fearless to the point of being foolhardy.

Famous people with Jupiter in Aries (and also in the first house for extra accentuation) are/were Clara Barton, Peter Bogdanovich, Johannes Brahms, Pearl Buck, Bob Fosse, Serge Gainsbourg, Che Guevera, Whitney Houston, Eugene McCarthy, and Czar Nicholas II, the last of the Romanov dynasty. Keep in mind that Jupiter remains an entire year in each sign, so that anyone born in the same year as any of these people would also have Jupiter in Aries; but the additional criterion that Jupiter also be in the first house makes the placement much more unusual and accentuates the Aries quality as well.
