Modern
Jupiter, in the modern reading, is Jupiter is growth and meaning: expansion, faith, optimism, opportunity, generosity, and the search for the larger picture. It is where you reach for more, find significance, and are inclined to trust and give. Wherever Jupiter falls by sign and house, and however it aspects the rest of the chart, this principle is colored and located, becoming one of the central themes of the personality.
Traditional (Hellenistic)
In the tradition, Jupiter is the greater benefic, signifying expansion, fortune, religion, law, philosophy, wealth, and generosity; warm and moist, a diurnal benefic, he governs the liver and the thighs, and shows priests, judges, and where blessing and increase are found. Read its sign for how it expresses, its house for where, its aspects for how it gets along, and its dignity and condition for how well it does its work.
Lean in — Develop Jupiter's principle consciously; it is a core part of who you are.
Watch for — Disown Jupiter; what it governs will act out anyway, less consciously.
