Meanings of the planets
Jupiter
Rules the sign of Sagittarius and the 9th house of the horoscope.
In traditional astrology, Jupiter is known as the "greater benefic" as it is the planet that symbolizes opportunity, abundance, success and good luck. Larger than life Jupiter rules the grand scheme of things and encourages a broader perspective. It represents growth, expansion and prosperity in the horoscope, its only downside being a tendency to go overboard.
Jupiter provides us with faith or something to believe in and gives a sense of meaning to things. It also represents concerns of the higher mind, such as the law, philosophy, belief systems, higher education and the pursuit of knowledge. Future oriented Jupiter seeks freedom and adventure and likes to take a chance. It is also associated with foreign countries, foreign travel and sport.
The sign and house placing in the horoscope will show the area of life where you can grow and expand your horizons and where opportunities or fortunate experiences may occur. It is also where we tend to over extend ourselves.
