Jupiter is by far the Largest of the visible planets. It has thirteen Moons, attracted by its powerful magnetic field. Its energies are carried to Earth by the Solar Wind. In contrast to the restrictive and inhibitory qualities of Saturn, Jupiter is expansive, generous, warm, and Jovial. In Mythology, he is the lusty, self-idulgent king of the Olympian Gods. This tendency to excess is Jupiter's main weakness, and in physical terms can lead to liver problems. Besides controlling the liver, Jupiter also rules the immune system. Jupiter presides over the harmony, law, and religion.
*Symbolism*
Jupiter rules the alchemical processes of sublimation and distillation, which in nature produce the phenomenon of dew- moisture that is refined as it iss drawn up from the Eartth and that absorbs cosmic energy as it recondenses.
Sublimation is symbolized by the story of Jupiter, in the form of an eagle, carrying his cup-bearer Ganymede up to heaven.
Jupiter's seduction of Danae, the daughter of the King of Argos, in the form of a goden shower symbolizes the distillation of Philosophical Gold.
