Jupiter Sign Meaning in Astrology

You probably know your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs and maybe even your Mercury sign. Welllll, you’ve got a sign for every planet, and today, we’re talking Jupiter. Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of luck, fortune, success, and generosity—a kind and abundant force for good in the universe.

Jupiter is expansive, big-thinking, healthy, wealthy, and powerful, an engine of achievement and success. In Greek mythology, Jupiter was aligned with Zeus, the king of the gods. Basically, Jupiter IS power—at its best. Your Jupiter sign tells you where things come naturally to you in life and where you’ll have an easy time achieving your ambitions. Jupiter is your ultimate cosmic career coach with a bit of risk-taking thrown in. This planet wants you to play to win and will back you 100 percent.

Think of your birth chart as a snapshot of what the cosmos looked like the moment you were born. Your Jupiter sign describes the constellation where Jupiter was hanging out. You can find yours by using a birth chart calculator, like the one on Café Astrology or Co–Star. JSYK, it’ll probably be different from your Sun sign!

Here’s what your Jupiter sign means

If your Jupiter sign is Aries

You’re born to be your own boss!
