In mythology, he is known as Zeus, king of heaven and all of the gods. Astrologically, he is known as the Greater Benefic, because he rules over luck, travel, excess, wealth, and higher knowledge. Jupiter is larger than life, always expanding and always growing. We need his influence in order to understand philosophical concepts, to get in touch with our spirituality, dictate right from wrong, and to create lawful councils. Without him, we couldn’t evolve as a society.
This November, Jupiter traveled back into its home sign of optimistic Sagittarius, allowing for its fullest expression. This marks a time of opportunity, enlightenment, and an overall enthusiasm for life. Jupiter’s influence is typically pleasant and generous. Good things manifest when the planet of luck is involved—and in Sagittarius, the possibilities are endless.

Since Jupiter is Sagittarius’s ruling planet, we’re getting a double dose of the larger-than-life energy. The fire sign is full of adventure, ambition, and enthusiasm for life—so don’t count on experiencing a quiet year. This is a year for action.
Think back to what was going on in your life twelve years ago. What was happening? Do you notice any patterns? Though your life may be different now, chances are, you will be able to recognize the way in which you expanded your horizons. That time period allowed you to grow and become the person you are today. What happens over the course of the next year is the start of a new twelve-year cycle, which is why it’s important for you to take advantage of every opportunity and to set your intentions for the future.
Who will be affected by Jupiter in Sagittarius?
Every sign will feel the cosmic shift on some level. Fire signs will reap the most benefits (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius), and mutable signs may face the most challenges (Gemini, Virgo, Pisces). Just remember, that even a Jupiterian challenge is typically a minor event in the storm of cosmic possibilities. The biggest detriment usually occurs from overindulgence, which is hard to resist under Jupiter’s endless rays of optimistic influence. Weight gain, excessive spending, gambling, and frivolity, are all known to happen.
