Jupiter in astrology

Jupiter is where life grows generous: the part of you that expands through when it is given room. What it is ultimately after is meaning, faith and room to move.

It is at home in Sagittarius and Pisces, so the affairs of Sagittarius and Pisces tend to be where it has the clearest hand.

The sign tells you the manner: the same growth looks bold in Aries and careful in Cancer without changing what it wants. The house tells you the arena: the part of life where you will actually meet it, whether that is money, partnership or reputation.

Aspects then tell you who it has to negotiate with. A Jupiter squared by Saturn and a Jupiter trined by Jupiter behave very differently even in the same sign.

Moving overhead, Jupiter opens whatever it touches, for 12 years for one full circuit. Slower bodies make chapters, faster ones make days — which is why a Moon transit is a mood and a Saturn transit is a re-write.

Astro Nox reads your own transits against your birth chart rather than against a Sun sign, so a Jupiter pass is dated to your degrees.

The Golden Dawn ties Jupiter to the cards below — the trump that carries the planet, and the decans it rules among the pips.
