Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is known for showering fortune and luck on the person if the person's birth chart is having the positive placement of Jupiter.
Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system, stands for expansion and good fortune in astrology. As the guardian of the abstract mind, this planet rules higher learning, and bestows upon us a yen for exploring ideas, both intellectually and spiritually.
Jupiter is the light when all others go out. Your Jupiter shows the way to prosperity, growth, and all things epic. If Jupiter rules your chart (as your Ascendant) or your Sun, you were born under the Lucky Star. Jupiter's sign is Sagittarius, the sign of optimism, faith, and prospering from risks others wouldn't dare take.
Luck and good fortune are associated with Jupiter for good reason. This is a kind and benevolent planet, one that wants us to grow and flourish in a positive way. Jupiter may be judge and jury, but it's mostly an honorable helpmate, seeing to it that we're on the right path. While our success, accomplishments and prosperity are all within Jupiter's realm, this largesse can, at times, deteriorate into laziness and sloth (Jupiter, at its worst, is associated with weight gain!). More often than not, however, Jupiter will guide us down the primrose path.
Jupiter Signs colors how we absorb new ideas, cultures,people and passions. Jupiter rules higher learning. Both spiritual and intellectual ideas appeal to Jupiter, and they are happy to jump right in and explore them.
