Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is also known as the "benefactor" in astrology. It's associated with expansion, optimism, luck, abundance, and growth. The sign Jupiter occupies in your birth chart, also known as your Jupiter sign, reveals how these qualities manifest in your life. Here's a brief overview of how Jupiter's influence unfolds in each zodiac sign:
Jupiter in Aries
You have confidence, energy, and enthusiasm. You easily get fired up, even to the point of becoming manic, and you have many interests, although you don’t sustain them over the long run. It’s easy for you to get wound up in your own concerns, and you must guard against the tendency to be egocentric and to lose control of the details.
Jupiter in Taurus
You’re devoted and kind; a lover of nature, material objects, and sensuous pleasures. You can easily tumble into self-indulgence. So you’re great in bed — but you may also be plagued by excess weight. Fortunately, you balance your pleasure-seeking with practicality. When it comes to the bottom line, your judgment is sound.
Jupiter in Gemini
Nothing fires you up more than a curious idea — or a game show. You’re clever, multitalented, inquisitive, and easily engrossed, although you run the risk of losing your interest in a topic by talking it to death. You benefit from anything that involves writing — from keeping a journal to working in a bookstore to being a journalist.
Jupiter in Cancer
You’re openhearted, benevolent, intuitive, protective, and sympathetic — the ultimate Earth mother, even if you’re a man. Understanding and forgiving (sometimes pathetically so), you love the pleasures of home, property, and parenthood. Traditional astrology holds that Jupiter is exalted in this position, and experience shows that it tends to bring luck in real estate. One downside: You may struggle with your love of good food.
Jupiter in Leo
You’re magnanimous, compassionate, exuberant, and dramatic, with enormous vitality and a deep need for recognition, respect, and power. Though you can be overbearing, you’re open-hearted and well liked. This position, considered a fortunate one, often brings success.
Jupiter in Virgo
You’re organized, practical, and happiest when your efforts produce concrete results. You have a fine intellect, a strong work ethic, and a tendency to put in too many hours in pursuit of perfection. Jupiter is expansive while Virgo is restrictive, so this placement gives rise to internal tension.

Jupiter in Libra
You’re likable, sympathetic, fair, and popular. Gifted with natural charm, you benefit from working with other people and have an innate attraction to the arts. You may wrestle with the classic Libran difficulty in making important decisions. Seeking balance is probably a wise idea for everyone, but it’s especially rewarding for you.
Jupiter in Scorpio
You have huge passions, a magnetic intensity that other people can sense, and a strongly sexual nature. Though you may be reserved, you’re also observant, and you have a sincere interest in investigating whatever’s under that rock. You’re ambitious and sometimes aggressive, with a great personal pride and a ferocious willpower that can help you achieve your dreams.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
Because Jupiter rules Sagittarius, this is considered an auspicious placement. Sagittarius brings out the best in Jupiter, making you genial, optimistic, generous, tolerant, and philosophical (so you don’t obsess over the small stuff). A skilled teacher, you’re drawn to foreign travel, higher education, and large, all-encompassing philosophies, religions, and belief systems. But be aware that this position also inflates your faith (or fanaticism), along with your tendency to lecture.
Jupiter in Capricorn
With the planet of expansion in cautious, constricting Capricorn, you’re ambitious, dutiful, honest, serious-minded, realistic, disciplined, and industrious, but you have a tough time relaxing. When you set a goal, your chances of achieving it are excellent. Along the way, you may have to combat pessimism, but you also find joy in accomplishment
Jupiter in Aquarius
Open-minded, altruistic, and innovative, you have great originality and take an interest in everything that’s cutting edge. You’re naturally tolerant of people, even if you’re sometimes scornful of their ideas. But despite your humanitarian ideals, you don’t deal with disappointment well, and you can become egotistical and overbearing.
Jupiter in Pisces
Blessed with powerful intuitive and imaginative abilities, you absorb everything going on around you. A forgiving and empathetic person, you cherish the notion that you can make things better, even to the point of self-sacrifice. But when you feel overwhelmed, which happens more than you may want, you can turn into a hermit. Spiritual pursuits intrigue and sustain you.
