Jupiter in the natal chart: luck, growth and abundance

Jupiter is the largest planet, and in astrology it has the largest appetite. It rules growth, optimism, faith and the parts of life that ask more.

What Jupiter does well

Wherever your Jupiter is, you tend to attract teachers, opportunity and a little luck. You are also generous in that area — sometimes overly so.

What Jupiter does badly

Jupiter has no brakes. Its house and sign also describe where you over-promise, overspend, or believe a little too easily.

Jupiter return

Every 12 years Jupiter returns to its natal position. The years around 12, 24, 36, 48 are classic windows of expansion — see how to use them in our astrology calendars.
