The main thing we know about Jupiter in Sagittarius so far is discussed in this earlier thread. It all pertains to presidential elections occurring with this placement.

During a Presidential election year, preserve the status of an incumbent; or, if the incumbent isn't running, carries a new, high-inspiration figure into the White House. Even if they lose, high-inspiration figures are typical of the passage.

It's probably generally favorable for the elite, privileged, and those already in power, though it also enhances idealism, hope, and progressiveness in the popular conversation.

Typically, the difference between Jupiter in Sagittarius (its home sign) vs. Jupiter in Capricorn (its fall) has been that the Sagittarius phase has been during the election cycle and extremely idealistic (1932-2020), while the Capricorn phase has been the first year of the new term and marked by the practicalities of "the rubber meeting the road." In 2008, Jupiter entered Capricorn earlier and Barack Obama had to jump in and start economic management and recovery well ahead of his inauguration.

The July 2020 U.S. Supreme Court decisions have been some of the most interesting to watch in memory with important decisions and some surprises at the very high level of legal discourse. In this really fascinating wave of decisions. Roberts is doing a remarkable job of maintaining and strengthening the overall integrity of the court.

One of the most interesting things is that the Supreme Court is usually done with their season by the end of June. This year, they're rolling strong through July. This coincides with Jupiter having retrograded into Sagittarius and (possibly also relevant) conjoining Pluto where it will stay until the end of November.
