The planet of good luck, optimism, success, and generosity. Jupiter brings joy to life. The position of Jupiter in your birth chart can indicate where your fortunate opportunities are to be found. This planet where you have the most room to expand and the areas in which you will get the best out of life. 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 liked and popular, friendly, broad minded, and cheerful, successful in career and business. 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 fall 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.
