   I have Sun trine Jupiter and I agree with your balloon-image:)
   When I’m under the weather - which is quite rare, considering I have quite a challenging life by anyone’s standards - I tend to retreat and then reemerge with some sort of game-plan: Mars conjunct Pluto sextile Saturn. Not blind optimism, in other words - but the will to make the best of what I have, helped by the ability to look on the bright side, obviously;)
   Unfortunately, I sometimes have little patience with people who insist on a negative view and their right to complain left and right. From my own experience, a quadruple Cancer or someone with a lot of oppositions can almost do me in!*lol* Any encouragement or uplifting advice is taken as a personal attack or insult. I’d better just let them take their time, right? See, I’m learning!;)

   I’m of the opinion that inherently happy people are, for the most part, realistic about the short-comings of humanity and of themselves.
   I don’t think people with ‘blind optimism’ are necessarily happy, it sounds a bit like burying one’s head in the sand.
   However I have been accused of having this trait over and over (I’m a Sag ASC) and it has me wondering: Why do unhappy people want to drag you down with them?
   I have optimism because IT WORKS FOR ME. I am happy because IT SERVES ME. Being depressed and negative makes me FEEL BAD.

   (Jupiter in 5th/Gemini; opposed Neptune, trine Pluto, sextile Saturn).

   I agree with both of ya’ll. I HAVE to be positive or else I get depressive easily. I hate when others bombard me with their negative attitudes. It’s like, dude, you’re creating negative energy that always sucks in more negative energy….negative people, negative circumstances will forever follow you if you don’t change your attitude. No one ever has a clue (except for a chosen few of course) when I am depressed. I still slap a smile on my face and go about life laughing at myself and my foibles, that usually snaps me right out of it.

   Oh yeah, and I love when people are happy. Genuinely.

   I relate to that hot air balloon image. I’ve got Jupiter/Venus in Leo in 6th house trining Saturn in Aries (albeit the first House). people gripe at work, or diss others, and I’m always the pollyanna, the encourager. and always trying to find other people inspiring jobs, often with incredible success.
   even though i have sucky aspects. sun sq saturn and moon sq pluto, natally, when it comes to work, I see things through expansive bright-sunshiney glasses. and always like work to be fun, fun, fun.

   Molly, I have those aspects too, and funnily enough I like them. I’m quite good at helping people through bad times and I suspect those aspects provide me psychic protection.

   Kashmiri, I like my challenging aspects, too. they’re the ones that have shaped who i am, my identity. Sun in Cancer in 5th with 1st house Aries saturn has turned me into a different kind of cancer, for sure. braver from being scorched, a little edgier, less an amorphous blob of feelings. moon sq pluto is definitely home in crisis, and i agree can help others through dark times. intensity and melancholy sometimes seem so contradictory — in me — to this upbeat, smiley Jupiter-Venus in Leo gal. and boy can I brag about myself. the other aspects give me some substance to go with the flash, he he.

   All of my Jupiter aspects are easy (sextile Pluto, conjunct Neptune, trine Venus). My natal Jupiter in Capricorn is conjunct the current one, though I am not sure what exactly that means: luck through work? Humor in the darkness? Hell, I am having a rough go of it right now and I suppose that Jupiter is helping me stick around.

   I am not somebody who goes around smiling all the time and I can usually tell when the smiling is genuine or not. I am, however, not pessimistic — I’m a Leo!

   I agree, may be Jupiter high your mood like a ballon, but unless another points, it could become just a highed mood. Happiness as I look it, requires hard work, courage, an huge mount of courage required for: connection with our feelings, fight for our ideals, don’t betray us and so on. At that point after the most extremous feelings of auto-depreciation confussion, desperation in my twenties (pluto transit #12) I arrived at that highed mood with happiness. I don’t think sad people atracts misery: healing or assisting or simply to hear other people may be a path for our completude as a human being if you think the center of people is outside ourself that is our nature. It is a long and philosophical topic. However that is true, I avoid negative and ressentfull people. I think necessaryly that attitude attracts negativity

    LOL
    Venus/Leo square Saturn/Taurus = glass half full. And it’s a fixed, stubborn glass!

    And Cancer stellium (Sun Mercury Mars). And Capricorn ruling my 5th house of fun!

    Yeah, I have a sense of humor but it’s hard to find at times… but I’m usually only hard on myself. Not hard on others. I can see the good in others, but less so in myself… (Venus square Neptune?)

    I do have Jupiter sextiling Venus but poor Venus is in that t-square…

    I keep compiling a list for my next life. Yes, I want Sun Venus conjunct (I don’t even care what sign!). And I want some peppy Sage energy…. and Libra Rising and………….. Moon in Scorpio to keep me dark and twisty

    Jupiter conjunct Sun (in Sag), trine Ascendant. Birds of a feather!

    The other day i walked past a kids shop and outside was a bubble machine blowing bubbles and infront of it was a tramp (bum) and he was so happy dancing around in the bubbles. As i passed he was chuckling and said something to me incomprehendable but i laughed back anyway. It really made my day to see someone with so little so enraptured. Think i smiled all the way home. I love happy people and never resent it even if i’m feeling down cos it is infectious. Moon/jup in 7th trine merc.

    you never know when a little bit of cheer and consideration can make a huge difference to someone. it has to me. so i try to spread it around when i can (sometimes i’m too distracted….)

    i figure the more happy going around the better off everyone is. it _is_ contagious.

    I’m an optimist with a melancholy face. Dunno why…maybe too much saturn in the chart. Lots of Jupiter aspects though, so inside I’m shining, thinking, processing and getting better under the radar. I feel happier than I project sometimes….but I am always ’somewhere’ else anyway.
