Jupiter

JUPITER is the planet of good luck, optimism, success, and generosity. Jupiter brings joy to life.

Are you a generous person? Do you seem to attract success through your close associations? Are you able to turn your ideas into profit? Does your luck work for you when you need it most?

If you answer yes to these questions, Jupiter is well aspected in your horoscope. The position of Jupiter in your birth chart can indicate where your fortunate opportunities are to be found. This benevolent planet shows where you have the most room to expand and the areas in which you will get the best out of life.

Jupiter has always been identified with the idea of expansiveness and abundance. In mythology, Jupiter was the ruler of the heavens, supreme god of gods. He was an all-powerful and benign guardian who symbolized honor, good faith, and wisdom.

In astrology, the planet Jupiter is known as the Greater Fortune (Venus is the Lesser Fortune). Jupiter's kingdom is luck, health and happiness, wealth and worldly goods, power and high position. It rules over knowledge, higher learning, breadth of vision, and honesty. Its influence bestows a willingness to partake of life, to gather new experiences. The knowledge that Jupiter imparts is on a philosophical level, as opposed to the day-to-day cleverness that Mercury confers.

Jupiter's position in your chart indicates how outgoing and genial you are, whether you attract money and possessions, and in what career you will have the most luck. Jupiter signifies the good things that come to you easily and with little effort. It is said that when Jupiter is working for you, you will never "go under." You will often find that Jupiter's power comes to your rescue at the last minute.

When Jupiter is prominent in your horoscope you tend to be well Eked and popular, friendly, broadminded, and cheerful, successful in career and business. (An interesting sidelight: You will probably discover that a large number of the people with whom you have an immediate rapport have Jupiter in the same sign as your Sun sign.)

Jupiter can also be too much of a good thing, for its influence can make you extravagant, lazy and luxury-loving, profligate with money, and blindly optimistic. If things fan into your lap too easily, you never develop strength of character or spiritual wisdom.

Jupiter is the planet of blessings-blessings that we must learn to use wisely.
