Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and the largest body in astrology by symbolic weight. It rules expansion, faith, meaning, and the search for the bigger picture — philosophy, higher education, long-distance travel, and the personal beliefs that organize how you see the world. Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Sagittarius and Pisces. Your Jupiter sign describes how you grow and what you believe in: Jupiter in Gemini grows through ideas and variety; Jupiter in Capricorn grows through mastery and patient effort. The house Jupiter occupies shows the area of life where you most readily expand and where good fortune tends to find you. The shadow side is overreach — Jupiter expands whatever it touches, including problems. Jupiter completes one zodiac circuit in roughly 12 years, giving every Jupiter return (around age 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72) the quality of a fresh chapter.
