Bright Jupiter has always been a guiding star for travelers, and so it is symbolically for the path of life.

Your Jupiter sign guides you to your big dreams, those that seem nearly impossible to achieve.

Jupiter shows up in your life as a pull toward your aspirations, through an inner drive, sense of destiny, serendipity, helpful friends, lucky breaks, and fateful events.

Sometimes Jupiter calls you out to take risks, and the result in doing that is a faith that life is unfolding as it should.

Jupiters' element points out the medium—whether you're working with ideas (air signs), tangibles and structures (earth signs), emotional and imaginative knowing (water signs), or instinctual awareness (fire signs).

Jupiter's quality (or modality) is the modus operandi. You're primarily a starter (cardinal), a finisher (fixed), or a mixologist (mutable).

The Zodiac Sign and House position show where and how those signs of destiny will appear in your life. Find out about your Jupiter by looking for the Jupiter symbol on the birth chart.
