| Jupiter: Your Luck, Your Higher Mind |
| Philosophy, religion, higher education. Expansion and integration. Growth. Tradition views Jupiter as the great benefic planet, associated with luck, success, achievement, and prosperity. But it can also indicate excess, laziness, and other less desirable traits. The bottom line, though, is that Jupiter's energies are usually constructive. This planet's energy is what allows us to reach out beyond ourselves and expand our consciousness. It confers a love of travel and a need to explore religious and philosophical ideas. Jupiter also allows us to integrate ourselves into the larger social order .. church or religion, community and corporation. Since Jupiter rules the abstract mind, it describes our intellectual and spiritual interests in the most profound sense. In terms of the body, Jupiter can often lead to a physical expansion as well. Weight gain. Jupiter takes about twelve years to transverse the zodiac and averages a year in every sign. It governs publishing, the travel profession, universities and other institutions of higher learning, and traditional organized religions. Its natural houses are the ninth and the twelfth. It rules Sagittarius. Jupiter oversees the blood in general, arteries, hips, thighs, and feet (with Neptune). |
