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).
Jupiter in the Signs:
Aries You are zealous in your beliefs and are convinced you are right, whether you
are or not. Everything for you is personal and immediate. You expand your life
through personal initiative, seizing opportunities when you see them or creating
your own opportunities. You gain through travel, children, law, and friends.

Taurus Your approach is practical. You seek to apply spiritual and philosophical
principles to daily life. You gain through children and marriage and greatly love
your home. Fixed in your religious or spiritual views, your generosity to others is a
result of their need rather than your sympathy.

expand your world. You need to communicate what you learn through writing,
speaking, or maybe even film. Your travels are usually connected to your quest for
understanding larger philosophical or spiritual issues. Benefits come through
publishing, education, and psychic investigations.

teachings down to your own children. Your spiritual beliefs are expanded through
your compassion for others. Benefits come through your parents, family, and
home-related matters.

doing so, you attract others who help expand your world. Your exuberance,
however, may be interpreted by some as outright pride. You gain through overseas
trips that are connected with education, sports, or diplomatic issues.

Libra You expand your life through your associations with other people and
through marriage and partnerships in general. You benefit from the opposite sex.

is that you may sacrifice your own interests to maintain harmony.

expand through your relentless search to understand these beliefs and how they
relate to the nature of reality. Your willpower and determination are your greatest
assets in overcoming any obstacles in your search. You gain through inheritances,
psychic investigation, and any areas that Scorpio governs.

broadens your life. Travel, foreign travel in particular, and education benefit your
search. This is a lucky placement for Jupiter and usually denotes success in the area
described by the house in which it falls. You benefit through all things associated
with Sagittarius.

your own efforts. You seek to accumulate wealth, have a great appreciation for
money, and tend to be guarded in your financial generosity. You gain through your
father, employers, and commercial affairs.

Aquarius Your progressive views and willingness to explore all kinds of spiritual
beliefs expand who you and what you are. Your tolerance for other people's beliefs
deepens your understanding of beliefs that differ from yours. Benefits come to you
