10 Mar Astrology 101: The Planets – Jupiter

Moral and Spiritual Beliefs

Jupiter is the thinking-person’s planet. As the guardian of the abstract mind, this planet rules higher learning, and bestows upon us a yen for exploring ideas, both intellectually and spiritually. Intellectually speaking, Jupiter assists us in formulating our ideology. In the more spiritual realm, Jupiter lords over religions and philosophy. A search for the answers is what Jupiter proposes, and if it means spanning the globe to find them, well, that’s probably why Jupiter also rules long-distance travel. In keeping with this theme, Jupiter compels us to assess our ethical and moral values; it also addresses our sense of optimism.

Luck and good fortune are associated with Jupiter for good reason. This is a kind and benevolent planet, one that wants us to grow and flourish in a positive way. Jupiter may be judge and jury, but it’s mostly an honorable helpmate, seeing to it that we’re on the right path. While our success, accomplishments and prosperity are all within Jupiter’s realm, this largesse can, at times, deteriorate into laziness and sloth (Jupiter, at its worst, is associated with weight gain!). More often than not, however, Jupiter will guide us down the primrose path.

Tradition views Jupiter as associated with luck, success, achievement, and prosperity. But it can also indicate excess, laziness, and other less desirable traits. However, Jupiter’s energies are usually constructive.

The sign in which Jupiter falls describes how you seek to expand your understanding of life, the benefits you receive, and how you express your intellectual, moral, religious, or spiritual beliefs. Jupiter is the farthest of the outer planets, which relate to the larger social world.

My Jupiter falls under the sign Scorpio. I expand through my relentless search to understand my beliefs and how they relate to the nature of reality. My willpower and determination are my greatest assets in overcoming any obstacles. I gain through inheritances, psychic investigation, and any areas that Scorpio governs. Someone with this sign attracts the most good fortune when they puts their “all” into a project or undertaking, and uses their  magnetic powers to heal others. Enthusiastic for deeper studies and meanings, all that is taboo or mysterious, psychology. Values decisiveness, intensity, willpower, commitment, and strength. Very strong problem solver who cuts to the chase. Science and research may be prosperous avenues.
