You already know your sun sign matters for manifestation. It is your core essence, the center of you, and when your inner sun is out of alignment, nothing else in your life lines up either. What most people do not know is that two other planets in your chart are doing the quiet, deciding work: Venus and Jupiter. Venus is how you attract and how you receive. It is also where your self worth lives, which means you only allow yourself to hold what you feel worthy of. A Venus wound looks like playing small, deflecting compliments, not asking for what you actually want, attracting the safe version instead of the real one, or standing right next to an opportunity and never seeing it. Jupiter is expansion, abundance, and your highest potential, and a Jupiter wound looks like missing the finish line on purpose. It is settling for the smaller version, refusing to hope for the best so you cannot be disappointed, or feeling like you are taking up too much space the moment your vision actually arrives. In this mini episode I show you what each wound looks like, how to read your own Venus and Jupiter signs for the healing, and what happens when the two work against each other, where Venus attracts effortlessly but Jupiter will not let you expand, or Jupiter opens the door and Venus will not let you receive. Pull up your chart, find your Venus sign and your Jupiter sign, and listen in. Venus stations retrograde on October 3, so this is the moment to understand it. Topics Covered: • Why your sun sign is the center of your manifestation and has to stay in alignment • Venus and Jupiter as your two manifestation planets, and why their signs flavor everything • Venus as attraction, receiving, and self worth • What a Venus wound looks like: playing small, deflecting, and settling for the safe version • Attracting opportunities that do not match your worth • How to read your Venus sign and house for the healing, with Venus in Leo and Venus in Libra as examples • Jupiter as abundance, expansion, luck, and your highest potential • What a Jupiter wound looks like: selling yourself short right at the finish line • Refusing to hope for the best so you cannot be disappointed • Feeling like you are taking too big a piece of the pie • Why your brain treats your biggest vision as unsafe • How to read your Jupiter sign for the healing, with Jupiter in Virgo and Jupiter in Aquarius as examples • When Venus and Jupiter work against each other, and how to spot it in your chart • How your moon, your second house, your eighth house, and your tenth house factor in • Venus stationing retrograde on October 3 and what to do with that window Timestamps: • 00:03 Why your sun sign is the center of everything you manifest • 01:13 Venus and Jupiter, your two manifestation planets • 03:21 What a Venus wound looks like: playing small and deflecting • 05:14 Venus in Leo and Venus in Libra as examples • 06:40 Jupiter, abundance, and the fear of expansion • 08:20 Why you stop yourself right before the finish line • 08:51 How your brain protects you from your biggest visions • 09:59 Healing the Jupiter wound through its sign • 11:03 When Venus and Jupiter work against each other • 12:25 How your sun, moon, and houses factor in • 13:53 Venus retrograde on October 3 and the free abundance masterclass Resources: • Join the free Train Your Brain for Abundance masterclass for in depth information on your sun, Venus, and Jupiter signs • Get your Free Natal Chart to find your Venus and Jupiter signs • Follow Spirit Daughter on Instagram • Visit the Spirit Daughter Website • Get my book Spirit Daughter • Book a Natal Chart Reading • Try the Moment App for free • Get the Libra Season Workbook See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[0:03] Speaker 1: Hi everyone and welcome back to the Spirit Daughter podcast.
[0:07] Speaker 2: I'm Jill Winterstein aka Spirit.
[0:10] Speaker 1: Daughter and today we're talking about the two planets in
[0:14] Speaker 1: your chart for manifestation. So we all know that we
[0:18] Speaker 1: have our sun sign and yes your sun sign placement
[0:22] Speaker 1: house is connected to how you manifest because the sun
[0:27] Speaker 1: is your core essence. It's the center of you. It's
[0:30] Speaker 1: what holds everything else in your life together. And so
[0:35] Speaker 1: if your sun's not in alignment, your inner sun, nothing
[0:38] Speaker 1: in your life is in alignment either, including your manifestation.
[0:43] Speaker 1: So you always want to take care of your sun sign.
[0:46] Speaker 1: You always want to give your sun sign what it
[0:48] Speaker 1: means to feel that it's the center of your universe.
[0:52] Speaker 1: You always want to understand it and be aware of it.
[0:56] Speaker 1: There are two other planets, though, in your chart that
[0:59] Speaker 1: also play a role in manifestation. I mean, if we're
[1:02] Speaker 1: being honest, they all play a role in your manifestation.
[1:05] Speaker 1: But these two are definitely part of your manifestation journey.
[1:09] Speaker 2: And they are Venus and Jupiter.
[1:13] Speaker 1: So I'll go into what Venus and Jupiter mean for manifestation.
[1:18] Speaker 1: But know that your Venus has a zodiac sign. Your
[1:21] Speaker 1: Jupiter has a zodiac sign. And that's going to flavor them.
[1:25] Speaker 1: And so if you have your chart handy, look at
[1:28] Speaker 1: that right now. What zodiac sign is your Venus in
[1:31] Speaker 1: and what zodiac sign is your Jupiter in? Because that's
[1:34] Speaker 1: going to flavor the energy in how you manifest. So
[1:40] Speaker 1: let's start with Venus. Venus is the planet of love
[1:43] Speaker 1: and beauty. We often think about it in terms of relationships.
[1:46] Speaker 1: We might even look at Venus sign compatibility. But Venus
[1:50] Speaker 1: is also the sign of attraction, right? It's the sign
[1:54] Speaker 1: of how you attract things into your life and what
[1:59] Speaker 1: you're attracted to. So you can see already how this
[2:03] Speaker 1: is going to play a role into the energies, the abundance,
[2:06] Speaker 1: the visions that you attract into your life. So how
[2:10] Speaker 1: do you attract them? Do you attract them with fire?
[2:14] Speaker 1: Do you attract them knowing they're yours? Or do you
[2:18] Speaker 1: attract them and then you can't hold on to them?
[2:21] Speaker 1: They slip through your fingers. Maybe you attract them, but
[2:25] Speaker 1: yet you don't feel like you deserve them. And so
[2:28] Speaker 1: Venus is also the sign of receiving. And so if
[2:32] Speaker 1: you find yourself deflecting compliments, deflecting what's yours, deflecting opportunities,
[2:38] Speaker 1: there's probably a Venus wound there. There also can be
[2:43] Speaker 1: an element of self-worth within your Venus. So you only
[2:48] Speaker 1: attract what you feel worthy of. You only allow yourself
[2:52] Speaker 1: to receive what you feel worthy of. You only allow
[2:56] Speaker 1: yourself to hold what you feel worthy of. And so
[3:02] Speaker 1: knowing if you have a Venus wound in your life
[3:06] Speaker 1: is really important when we look at the lens of manifestation.
[3:11] Speaker 1: And so a Venus wound looks like playing small. It
[3:14] Speaker 1: looks like not asking for what you really want. It
[3:18] Speaker 1: looks like deflecting compliments. It looks like.
[3:21] Speaker 2: Not feeling worthy of your vision.
[3:24] Speaker 1: It looks like an opportunity standing right beside you and
[3:28] Speaker 1: you not seeing it, you not receiving it. It also
[3:32] Speaker 1: can look like you attracting smaller situations or maybe situations
[3:38] Speaker 1: that don't match your worth. Maybe you're always attracting unpaid
[3:42] Speaker 1: opportunities when really you deserve a big paycheck for your gifts.
[3:49] Speaker 1: That would be a Venus wound. It shows up in
[3:52] Speaker 1: playing small. It shows up in, oh, did I ask
[3:57] Speaker 1: for too much?
[3:58] Speaker 2: Oh, am I too much?
[4:00] Speaker 1: Oh, am I not showing up the way I should
[4:04] Speaker 1: be in this position? So a Venus wound can look
[4:08] Speaker 1: very different, but it revolves around your worth, how you attract,
[4:12] Speaker 1: how you receive, and how you actually stand in your heart,
[4:17] Speaker 1: in your love, and what you're attracted to. That's the
[4:22] Speaker 1: other part of it. So if you're trying to manifest
[4:25] Speaker 1: something in your life, are you attracted to the smaller version?
[4:29] Speaker 1: Are you attracted to the safe version? Are you attracted
[4:33] Speaker 1: to the version that kind of feels like the right thing,
[4:36] Speaker 1: but doesn't quite fit? Do you settle? These are all
[4:41] Speaker 1: Venus wounds, and they're all places to look at. In
[4:46] Speaker 1: your chart, if you find yourself aligning with that issue
[4:51] Speaker 1: in manifestation, so if you feel like you're not in
[4:54] Speaker 1: alignment with what you want to attract or you're deflecting
[4:57] Speaker 1: or you're not receiving, look at your Venus. What sign
[5:01] Speaker 1: is it in? What house is it in? What can
[5:03] Speaker 1: the sign tell you about healing your Venus? So for instance,
[5:09] Speaker 1: if your Venus is in Leo, You might not be
[5:12] Speaker 1: able to receive compliments.
[5:14] Speaker 2: You might not want to be able to be seen.
[5:16] Speaker 1: You might feel like you need to look a certain
[5:20] Speaker 1: way to an audience in order to receive your vision, right?
[5:24] Speaker 1: In order to be worthy of your vision or worthy
[5:28] Speaker 1: of what you want to manifest. And so there's the
[5:31] Speaker 1: wound and there's where the healing might be. If your
[5:35] Speaker 1: Venus is in Libra, for instance, you might feel like
[5:38] Speaker 1: things need to look a certain way. There might need
[5:41] Speaker 1: to be a certain design element or it might need
[5:44] Speaker 1: to be beautiful or the project might have to look
[5:46] Speaker 1: this way or you might have to look a certain
[5:49] Speaker 1: way in order to attract, in order to call in,
[5:53] Speaker 1: in order to receive what you want. So you want
[5:56] Speaker 1: to look at your Venus sign, especially if you resonate
[6:00] Speaker 1: with a Venus wound. The second planet involved in manifestation
[6:06] Speaker 1: is Jupiter. And Jupiter, as we know, is the planet
[6:09] Speaker 1: of abundance. It's the planet of expansion. It's the planet
[6:13] Speaker 1: of luck. It's the planet of making things bigger. It's
[6:17] Speaker 1: also the point in your chart that I look at
[6:19] Speaker 1: to find your highest potential because And it's where we
[6:22] Speaker 1: often sell ourselves short of what we want. So this
[6:26] Speaker 1: is when you're trying to manifest something and you just
[6:30] Speaker 1: miss the finish line. You're trying to call something into
[6:34] Speaker 1: your life and a smaller version.
[6:36] Speaker 2: Shows up and you accept it. So you settle for it.
[6:40] Speaker 1: This is also a fear of expansion can show up here.
[6:45] Speaker 1: If you have Jupiter, a Jupiter wound that's impacting your manifestation,
[6:51] Speaker 1: You might not feel comfortable expanding.
[6:53] Speaker 2: You might feel like you're taking too much.
[6:56] Speaker 1: You might feel like, oh, I want to call in
[6:58] Speaker 1: this level of income and then it comes your way
[7:01] Speaker 1: and you feel like you're taking too big of a
[7:03] Speaker 1: piece of the pie and you won't allow yourself to
[7:06] Speaker 1: receive it. You might feel like you're taking up too
[7:09] Speaker 1: much space in a room, that your light is shining
[7:13] Speaker 1: too bright and other people are in your shadow and
[7:16] Speaker 1: then you end up feeling bad for them. And so
[7:19] Speaker 1: the wound can show up in several different ways. A
[7:23] Speaker 1: Jupiter wound also looks like not wanting to hope for
[7:28] Speaker 1: the best. So that's when you have something big in
[7:32] Speaker 1: front of you and you don't even want to get
[7:35] Speaker 1: emotionally invested in it because you don't even want to
[7:39] Speaker 1: hope it will happen. It's like you're automatically sidelining yourself.
[7:44] Speaker 1: You're automatically dismissing the energy. because it feels scary. It
[7:50] Speaker 1: feels unsafe to actually hope that something amazing happens to
[7:57] Speaker 1: you for fear of disappointment, for fear of being let down.
[8:01] Speaker 1: And so instead of looking at this big thing coming
[8:05] Speaker 1: your way, this great opportunity, and emotionally investing in it happening,
[8:10] Speaker 1: seeing it happen, seeing the vision unfold, Instead, you don't
[8:14] Speaker 1: allow yourself to step into the vision because.
[8:17] Speaker 2: You're afraid of disappointment.
[8:20] Speaker 1: You're afraid that you'll fall short, that the opportunity will
[8:24] Speaker 1: fall short. You're afraid that you won't cross the finish line.
[8:28] Speaker 1: And that's kind of the essence of the Jupiter wound,
[8:32] Speaker 1: a fear of expansion, a fear of not crossing the
[8:35] Speaker 1: finish line, a fear of taking up too much space,
[8:39] Speaker 1: a fear ultimately of that you don't deserve the expansion
[8:43] Speaker 1: that's in front of you, that you're not ready for
[8:47] Speaker 1: your next level.
[8:48] Speaker 2: The next level scares you. It's the unknown.
[8:51] Speaker 1: We're always working with the unknown in manifestation. So when
[8:55] Speaker 1: we start to manifest our greatest dreams, they're unknown. They
[8:59] Speaker 1: scare us. They scare our brain. Your brain's number one
[9:02] Speaker 1: job is to keep you safe. It's to keep you
[9:05] Speaker 1: in the familiar, in the comfortable. And so when we
[9:09] Speaker 1: start manifesting our big, big visions, our Jupiter visions, They
[9:14] Speaker 1: feel scary. They feel like the unknown. And then we shrink.
[9:18] Speaker 1: We sell ourselves short. We don't expand. We don't hope.
[9:22] Speaker 1: We don't step into the vision. We don't embody the
[9:25] Speaker 1: vision because it feels scary.
[9:29] Speaker 2: We'll be right back after a quick break.
[9:37] Speaker 1: And so ask yourself if those themes are showing up
[9:40] Speaker 1: in your life, if maybe an opportunity, a big opportunity
[9:44] Speaker 1: is coming your way and you're sabotaging yourself, you're doing
[9:47] Speaker 1: something to sideline yourself, you're taking yourself out of the potential,
[9:52] Speaker 1: out of the vision before it even has a chance
[9:55] Speaker 1: to unfold.
[9:57] Speaker 2: This is a Jupiter wound.
[9:59] Speaker 1: And again, you can look to the sign that your
[10:01] Speaker 1: Jupiter is in to learn how to heal this Jupiter wound.
[10:06] Speaker 1: Maybe your Jupiter is in Virgo and you feel like
[10:09] Speaker 1: you need to be worthy. You need to get every
[10:11] Speaker 1: detail perfect in order for the expansion to actually take place.
[10:15] Speaker 1: You need to have a guarantee to actually embody the vision.
[10:18] Speaker 1: You need to know the outcome of everything. And then
[10:22] Speaker 1: maybe it just takes a small act of surrender. Or
[10:25] Speaker 1: maybe you're Jupiter's in Aquarius. And so you feel like
[10:29] Speaker 1: if you take too much, the collective won't have enough.
[10:33] Speaker 1: You fear that if you take up the space in
[10:35] Speaker 1: the room, then you can't share the space with others
[10:39] Speaker 1: or others won't have the space that they deserve. So
[10:43] Speaker 1: you sabotage yourself. The essence, though, of Jupiter is expansion.
[10:48] Speaker 1: It's taking up space.
[10:49] Speaker 2: It's your potential.
[10:51] Speaker 1: And so if you find yourself sabotaging your manifestations, especially
[10:55] Speaker 1: when they're close to the finish line or when you
[10:58] Speaker 1: get your manifestation, when it happens, you can't hold on
[11:00] Speaker 1: to it because it feels bad.
[11:02] Speaker 2: Too unfamiliar.
[11:03] Speaker 1: It's ungrounding because sometimes when we manifest our biggest visions,
[11:08] Speaker 1: we feel like we can't ground into our bodies. We
[11:11] Speaker 1: can't feel into them. Then you might have a Jupiter wound.
[11:15] Speaker 1: We need to look at the zodiac sign for some
[11:17] Speaker 1: guidance on how to heal it. And then it's also
[11:20] Speaker 1: possible that these two are working together or together against you.
[11:26] Speaker 1: And so Venus, you might attract things, right? That channel,
[11:30] Speaker 1: that funnel might be working well. So you might attract
[11:34] Speaker 1: things into your life effortlessly. But then Jupiter caps if
[11:38] Speaker 1: you allow yourself to actually expand into that new life, right?
[11:43] Speaker 1: Or Jupiter may allow you to expand, but Venus won't
[11:47] Speaker 1: allow you to receive that expansion. And so you want
[11:51] Speaker 1: to look at how your Venus and your Jupiter are
[11:53] Speaker 1: interacting with each other, especially if we want to get
[11:56] Speaker 1: deep into the chart. They happen to be squaring each other.
[11:59] Speaker 1: They happen to be conjunct or forming some type of
[12:01] Speaker 1: aspect together.
[12:02] Speaker 2: With one another.
[12:04] Speaker 1: And so you always want to look at like, oh, okay,
[12:07] Speaker 1: how am I attracting things? What am I attracted to?
[12:10] Speaker 1: How am I allowing myself to receive? And then how
[12:12] Speaker 1: am I allowing myself to expand what I'm attracting? Or
[12:16] Speaker 1: how am I allowing myself to take up more space
[12:20] Speaker 1: or to even receive more of what.
[12:23] Speaker 2: It is that I want?
[12:25] Speaker 1: And so these two are always working together and they
[12:29] Speaker 1: are your key manifestation planets. Now, yes, they are working
[12:34] Speaker 1: with your sun sign as well, since that's the center
[12:36] Speaker 1: of you. They're going to work with your moon, which
[12:38] Speaker 1: is your emotional body. They're going to work with your
[12:41] Speaker 1: houses in different ways as well. And so your second
[12:44] Speaker 1: house of self-worth is going to be involved. Your 10th
[12:47] Speaker 1: house of life's work is going to be involved. Your
[12:51] Speaker 1: 8th house is going to be involved in personal transformation
[12:54] Speaker 1: as But at the core, we're looking at your Venus
[12:57] Speaker 1: placement and your Jupiter placement for guidance on how you manifest,
[13:02] Speaker 1: how you allow yourself to manifest, and how you hold
[13:05] Speaker 1: that manifestation. And so these two planets can really teach
[13:10] Speaker 1: you how you're built to attract things into your life.
[13:15] Speaker 1: and then how you're built to allow things to expand
[13:19] Speaker 1: in your life. And so you can see how they
[13:22] Speaker 1: work together in manifestation. Luckily, we're currently in Libra season.
[13:29] Speaker 1: Libra is ruled by Venus, so it's actually an excellent
[13:33] Speaker 1: time to dig into your Venus sign a to understand it.
[13:37] Speaker 1: Venus will station retrograde on October 3rd as well, which
[13:41] Speaker 1: will be an amazing time to go within, to understand
[13:46] Speaker 1: your Venus sign, to understand if you have a Venus
[13:49] Speaker 1: wound and understand how to heal that Venus wound.
[13:53] Speaker 2: So a lot more on this coming later.
[13:55] Speaker 1: And then also, right now, I'm holding a free masterclass
