Hi everyone,
I've been working on my own Jupiter for a while and keep looking for good examples. I recently found one in a rather unexpected arena: Comedy.
I love watching standup and had been listening to Pete Holmes' podcast in which he interviews other comedians. He's also written and performed in his own show about his own struggle of becoming a comedian and him breaking with the religious background he grew up with. Despite having left his original faith, I couldn't help but notice how incredibly optimistic and genuinely stoked about life this man seems in an industry where many people are depressed and jaded. I thought "He must have a great Jupiter".
Low and behold, his Jupiter is exalted and is strongly delighted by an exalted Moon and delighted by an exalted Sun + Mars in a friend's sign. There is some starvation from Mercury and Venus, but it's comparatively minimal. Also his Jupiter is at an angle and thus forms a Hamsa Yoga, meaning he is like a small incarnation of Jupiter on earth. To me, this man radiates joy and he manages to speak about his view of wisdom even in comedy. He even wrote a book on it called "Comedy Sex God".
Here are some videos that I think illustrate his Jupiter:

Thank you so much! I´d never heard of him, I´m watching him now.
I have my Jupiter with Ketu in the 5th house, so I´ve always told people not to say anything about God, because we can´t define him. And then: "With that said: God is a humourist."
I will learn about Jupiter through Pete Holmes, I think.

I like that, Mattias! If anything, we probably each get a very small and narrow glimpse of him. Glad you enjoyed this ???? . His sense of humor is not for everyone, but I find his joy to be infectious. Have fun!
He reminded me a lot about a Swedish comedian, Johan Glans, so I went to check-out his chart. And indeed, JG has a secure Jupiter in Pisces with Moon delighting it btw 34 and 40 varupas (depending on his birth time). Venus and Mercury starve it with 60 varupas each though. But still, I was able to see the similarities and it´s right there, in the chart.
(And if he was born after sunrise he´s got Jupiter on the comedian´s card, 7 of Clubs. But that´s another story/system.)
From 3:00 he speaks English:

PD. Here´s another example, perhaps easier to relate to:

This one has a jupitarian theme:

That's so cool. I definitely see a similar experience vibe. It's also really cool that you're able to see more layers by using the CoT system. Thank you for sharing ????!
In this example he even jokes about himself not being precisely "raw" (which is the name of the comedy club that he´s acting). "Most of my jokes I could tell in a retirement home". Very similar to the youth pastor of Pete Holmes!
Unfortunately it´s in Swedish and with no subtitles, but still:

"I don´t use to talk much about sex when I act, I think it´s better to talk about things you have experienced." Then adding silently, almost bragging: "I´m joking. Actually I´ve done quite a lot of shagging."
