Jupiter: Growth, Generosity and Trust
The largest planet speaks of expansion, faith and the joy of giving.
Jupiter, the largest planet, has long been associated with growth, abundance, wisdom and generosity. Its sign shows where we tend to expand, where we find meaning and where life seems to open doors.
Twelve years, twelve signs
Jupiter takes about twelve years to circle the zodiac, spending roughly a year in each sign. Many people notice a sense of renewal around their twelfth, twenty-fourth and thirty-sixth birthdays, when Jupiter returns to where it stood at their birth.
Generosity returns
Jupiter reminds us of the Principle of Cause and Effect in its kindest form: generosity tends to return. Leaving others with a sense of increase is one of the surest ways to grow ourselves.
Thursday
Thursday is Jupiter’s day: a day to think larger, give freely and trust the path.
A practice
Do one generous thing today with no expectation of return: a compliment, a helping hand, a recommendation. Notice how it feels to give freely.
