Jupiter is masculine, disciplined, co-operative and priestly. He rules the potential for growth and expansion on many levels: physical, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, and the accumulation of material assets, power and status. Jupiter describes your optimism and aspirations.

Jupiter is a giant self-illuminating planet, radiating more energy than it receives, in keeping with his role as lord and teacher of the gods. Traditionally described as the greater fortune, Jupiter governs joy, luck and wellbeing. When well-aspected, he provides superb opportunities for expansion and success. Poorly aspected, he generates over-confidence and foolhardy actions with little care for the consequences.

Jupiter spends about a year in each sign, taking twelve years to complete the journey through all twelve signs.
