Jupiter
The point of expansion, trust and the search for meaning – where we wish to grow, learn and believe.

The point of expansion, trust and the search for meaning – where we wish to grow, learn and believe.
Jupiter is the generous teacher of the chart: it marks the area in which growth, openness and trust feel natural. Its sign shows how we look for meaning and what we regard as wisdom, its house where opportunities may appear if we are ready for them. Traditionally it is the planet of luck, but in a deeper reading it is rather the gift of faith and learning – the inner conviction that it is worth taking the next step. Jupiter works best when enthusiasm is paired with patience and a sense of proportion.

Shadow: The shadow side can be excess, overpromising, a "something will turn up" attitude, or presenting one's own truth as the only truth.
The question it asks: What do I trust in, and where could I allow a wider outlook and more generosity into my life?
