  Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest of all of the planets in orbit around the Sun and in astrology symbolizes the extended influence of the power of the Sun. Jupiter is also the human link with the astral world of the gods and the instrument for understanding this greater realm. In polytheistic religions (worshipping or a belief in more than one god) it is more often than not the sun god, the heavenly god and /or the thunder god that is leader of the gods. Jupiter was the supreme god of the Romans.

Traditionally Jupiter is a planet of good fortune. In the horoscope Jupiter tells of a person's higher mental development. It can be said that although Mercury enhances the spreading of ideas that Jupiter is essentially the precipitator and where ideas arise. Jupiter is also associated with higher learning and long journeys, a reason being that in times gone by long journeys were necessary for the purpose of study.

Jupiter's position in the horoscope determines success on the earthly plane and material wealth especially in combination with the Moon, Venus or Saturn. If Jupiter is in a poor alignment this can indicate that a person will be wasteful in their character.
