Since it’s Thursday, let’s talk about Jupiter

22 December 2011

Jupiter represents expansion. 

It’s big and buoyant and generous and ready for anything.  Jupiter brings growth to the planets and points it touches.  That can mean luck but also just exaggeration. 

Jupiter is always optimistic. 

The glyph for Jupiter is the crescent of spirit over the cross of matter: 

Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the 9th sign, and the 9th House, which is the House of higher education, foreign travel, philosophy, experience and beliefs.  Religion falls in the 9th House.  So does Rock and Roll. 

Jupiter typically spends about a year in each sign, and begins a new cycle every 12 years.  Your Jupiter Return, the beginning of the cycle is always an auspicious time. 

Jupiter in your chart shows where you do things way big.  It can also be where you’re lucky - not necessarily in windfall ways, but where it seems like something’s always looking out for you.  But remember, that luck can easily be turned into exacerbation of a problem if the energy is directed in the wrong ways. 

Since Jupiter typically spends a year travelling through each sign, people who were born in the same year will most likely have Jupiter in the same sign.  

Here are some absolutely oversimplified ways Jupiter might manifest through the signs or houses: 

Jupiter in Aries (or the 1st House): Big Personality

Jupiter in Taurus (or the 2nd House): Expensive Taste

Jupiter in Gemini (or the 3rd House): Big Talker

Jupiter in Cancer (or the 4th House): Big House

Jupiter in Leo (or the 5th House): Epic Creativity

Jupiter in Virgo (or the 6th House): Health Nut and/or Hyper-Organized

Jupiter in Libra (or the 7th House): Epic Romance

Jupiter in Scorpio (or the 8th House): Big Inheritance

Jupiter in Sagittarius (or the 9th House): Big Adventure

Jupiter in Capricorn (or the 10th House): Big Responsibility

Jupiter in Aquarius (or the 11th House): Utopian Beliefs

Jupiter in Pisces (or the 12th House): Epic Empathy

Right now Jupiter is about to turn from retrograde to forward motion at the first degree of Taurus- more about that tomorrow.  Jupiter will remain in Taurus until June of 2012. Wherever (what House) Taurus is located in your chart is where you’re about to see a big growth in your circumstances. 

Get Lucky,
