How do I find out my Jupiter sign?
To find out your Jupiter sign, scroll down to the bottom of the page, enter your birth details, taking note of your Jupiter Sign, then read the appropriate paragraph below. Please note that although it may say 'birthtime unknown' even if you have entered a birth time, it does work out your planetary positions correctly!
It seems appropriate to be writing about Jupiter now, in late September, as the giant planet hovers closer to the Earth than it has done for over ten years and will for another twelve. In the night sky, it can be seen towards the east a few hours after sunset, shining even more brightly than usual. In mythology, Jupiter, also known as Jove, and Zeus to the Greeks, was King of the Gods, and presided over his subjects from his palace in Mount Olympus. Astrologically, Jupiter represents all that is expansive, optimistic and far-sighted. It rules faith, hope and charity, as well as priests, places of worship, long journeys, higher education, wealthy people and foreigners.

By Jove, What Luck!
The Moon and Jupiter in the evening sky
Jupiter’s location in our ‘birthchart’ (map of the planets) reveals the area of life in which opportunities abound. When we are under its influence, we feel confident, take a broader view of things and have a sense of abundance. We have faith that things will turn out for the best, and are more inclined to take risks, for example by starting a business venture or new relationship, by studying or by travelling. Taken to excess however, we can become blindly optimistic, gamble recklessly and even become manic in a flight from our own limitations. Jupiter ‘transits’ often bring good fortune, either as a result of our past efforts, a reward for good deeds, or for having the courage to grow beyond our current state.
