Jupiter: The Seeker & the Guide
In Greco-Roman mythology, Jupiter, the king of the gods, ruled over justice and virtue. He was also the patron of the truth, the keeper of sworn oaths and the protector of travellers. Astrologically, Jupiter relates to the principle of expansion - be it the exploration of new opportunities or the furthering of one's mind. He fuels our desire to grow and extend ourselves. Equally he relates to our truth and honour. He is the high standard we set for ourselves. Ultimately Jupiter characterises our search for truth and meaning in life.
Jupiter in the 1st House
Jupiter’s house placement indicates where we seek and find meaning in life.
With Jupiter in the first house the individual finds meaning through pursuing their interests. Life is an open road that must be travelled – one discovers oneself along the way. In remaining open and optimistic the individual moves forward in life as well as in themselves.
