Luck · Expansion · Faith
✦ The essence of Jupiter ✦
Jupiter is the great benefic of the ancients: the planet of luck, expansion, faith and generosity. It enlarges everything it touches, opportunities and excesses alike. It spends about a year in each sign and marks the eras of our lives: where Jupiter passes, something wants to grow.
In your chart
Your Jupiter shows where life gave you appetite and ease: the domain where you dare to think big, where doors open a little more willingly than elsewhere. It is your zone of confidence.
Jupiter retrograde
Four months a year, almost every year: an ordinary and rather gentle retrograde. Growth turns inward: fewer new conquests, more consolidation. You check that what you have built holds, before setting off again.

The Wheel of Fortune
In the tradition, Jupiter answers to The Wheel of Fortune, the card of turning fortune, of cycles, of the luck that never stops moving. This card colours the way the planet acts in your sky.
The planets are one half of the language of the sky. Keep exploring with the ten planets, or discover the other way the invisible catches your attention, the angel numbers.
