The Planetary Bodies

My Wise JUPITER - Planet of Luck

     The sign in which Jupiter resides in my birth chart shows the expression of my philosophical energies. It's naturally associated with Sagittarius and Pisces and its natural homes, the 9th and 12th Houses of Education and the Unconscious. Masculine Jupiter, the 5th and largest planet, takes about 12 years to move through the 12 signs of the zodiac spending a year in each as it completes its solar orbit so it can reside in all Zodiac signs.

     Jupiter's dominate philosophical theme and its size may account for the theory of expansion associated with the planet. The nature of Jupiter in a horoscope relates to the expansion of horizons or growth in higher understanding. The sign placement of Jupiter helps define ones higher level of thinking. Since Jupiter stays in the same sign for about one year, many people born while Jupiter is in a given sign will have similar views on ideas and beliefs of that period. Often this placement gives clues as to my views of the weightier issues of life such as religion, philosophy, and social issues of the day. Jupiter also rules optimism in living, prosperity, and growth, both mentally and physically.

     In Greek (Roman) mythology Zeus (Jupiter) is the King of gods and in astrology the similarity is the same. In the various Zodiac signs, the nature of how I deal with people is modified and clarified by Zeus (Jupiter). With Jupiter in a different sign than that of my Sun, the character of the Sun is often overruled by the godlike "last word" of Zeus (Jupiter).

Jupiter, King of the Gods, in Cancer explained...

  At my birth, October 31 - Halloween, my Wise Jupiter resided in my 1st House of Self and in Cardinal Cancer, the Watery 4th sign of the Zodiac, at 01 degrees and 04 minutes Retrograde and in an Exalted state. Noteworthy is the fact that of all the 10 planets of my Zodiac chart only Jupiter is in another state other than Peregrine.

     This placement of Jupiter suggests that I have a thorough understanding of the important moral principles in life. This understanding was instilled in me at an early age by the teachings and behaviors of my parents. As I mature, these traits of generosity and kindness become a part of my basic expression. There is a nurturing aspect associated with this position and I am the type who is always looking out for the proverbial underdog. Security for myself and my family is a paramount issue.

     Jupiter has been observed in the Heavens since ancient times, but only in 1610 had it been seen with a telescope by Galileo. My Jupiter resided in Cancer from September 21, 1965 through November 16, 1965.  Not since the 1950's had Jupiter been in Cancer last.
