Jupiter in Astrology
Jupiter, also known as the Greater Benefic, is primarily associated with hope, faith, philosophy, good fortune and expansion. Jupiter expands our consciousness by opening channels, allowing us to receive new information and material.
Expansion
My sister and I were raised primarily by our grandparents. We were fortunate to have both paternal and maternal grandparents living within walking distance of our house. Our grandparents, all immigrants from Portugal, enjoyed hosting Sunday lunches that started after Sunday Mass and ended when the Moon sailed above the rooftops. Family and neighbours would congregate around my paternal grandfather’s charcoal barbecue to catch up on the week’s events. At any given moment, you could join a confluence of conversation, but because we were young, my cousins and I were far more interested in eating and riding our bikes.
The “long table” – sheets of plywood supported by trestles - would sometimes warp under the weight of dishes as everyone would show up to these lunches with their specialties. I grew up enjoying not only traditional Portuguese food but also Mozambican and Afrikaans dishes, as a diverse group of people gathered around the table in my grandparents’ driveway.
Jupiter is the welcoming table, the generous host, the friendly neighbour, the convivial gathering.
Sociologist Katherine Giuffre studied the ebb and flow of photographers' success in New York City in the 80s. She discovered that those photographers who had a network of diverse connections, ranging from art critics to gallery owners, enjoyed greater success than those who knew more people in the same occupation or trade.
Giuffre’s research, as well as the research conducted by other sociologists, proves that we become luckier if we value contact with people who are dissimilar to ourselves in both modes of thought and action.
Jupiter, as the principle of expansion, encourages us to cultivate friendships with people from diverse backgrounds and interests.
