Jupiter
Jupiter in astrology represents growth, expansion, and the search for meaning beyond the immediate. In a natal chart it describes where a person finds good fortune, enthusiasm and the urge to broaden horizons through travel, philosophy or study. Ruler of Sagittarius and, traditionally, Pisces, it is the greater benefic of the tradition.

Overview
From Zeus-Jupiter, king of the gods and lord of the wide sky.
The principle of expansion — where you grow, take risks, trust the world. Jupiter shows where life feels generous, and where you are prone to overdoing it.
Mythology
Jupiter was the king of the Roman gods, ruler of sky and thunder, equivalent to the Greek Zeus. His authority was the broadest of all the Olympians: law, justice, hospitality, and the grand ordering of the cosmos fell under his domain. The eagle and the oak were his sacred symbols, embodying sovereignty and enduring strength. Jupiter's mythology consistently emphasises abundance, protection, and the magnanimous use of power.
Interpretation
Jupiter represents the impulse toward growth, expansion, and the search for meaning beyond the immediate and concrete. In a natal chart it describes where a person experiences good fortune, enthusiasm, and the desire to broaden horizons -- through travel, philosophy, religion, or higher education. Jupiter's sign colours the style of this expansion; its house reveals where optimism and opportunity are most naturally expressed.
