Jupiter in Virgo

Virgo is opposite Pisces, making it the second detriment of Jupiter in Lilly 1659, which only means that it faces one of his two houses across the circle. Lilly gives him degrees 14 to 18 of the sign as terms and no other allotment. Virgo belongs to Mercury as both house and exaltation in the same book.

Lilly calls Virgo earthly, cold and barren, while Ptolemy, in Ashmand's 1822 translation, praises Jupiter for fruitful breezes. The clash between a planet of increase and a sign labeled barren is the pair's most distinctive feature in the old vocabulary, and barren there classifies a sign and describes no person. On qualities, the pair are opposites, hot and moist against cold and dry.

No source gives a portrait for this placement, so anything more specific must be labeled modern. Modern popular astrology tends to describe a generosity that shows up as useful help and a high standard for detail. Readers can take that as current convention and nothing older.
