The Good Guy

JUPITER has historically been the "good guy" or the great "benefic" in an astrology chart. The planet of opportunity, optimism and philanthropy, Jupiter brings us the goodness of a positive and generous nature. It is here that we do things on a large scale, where we promote, and find ourselves popular and successful. Jupiter is the planet of the higher mind, where we are lifted out of ourselves and inspired to idealism, tolerance and vision.

By transit, or in other predictive charts, Jupiter brings opportunity and sometimes access, where even too much of a good thing is too much, and it can sometimes cause weigh gain. Transiting Jupiter, sharing justice with Saturn, can bring legal situations or a chance to develop greater wisdom and tolerance. Since it rules faith, often we are given confidence to move forward.
