Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, 1,300 times larger than Earth (twice as large as all the planets in our solar system combined). It is so far away that its surface is barely reached by the sun’s light and heat.
It takes Jupiter 11.86 years to go around the Sun. The approximation of this cycle to the 12 signs of the Zodiac means that the planet affects a different sign each year, just as the Sun affects each month. This correspondence in movements led the first Chinese astrologers to call Jupiter “Star of the year”.
Jupiter in Mythology
Jupiter’s identity as king of the gods corresponds to his importance in the solar system, with an entourage of twelve moons (actually, this planet has more than 67 moons).
In the West, this planet was believed to be a divine lawgiver who administered authority in the underworld. Jupiter is the Roman version of the Greek deity Zeus, head of the gods, abstract essence of divine law. On Olympus, he had no rival. He was the greatest exponent of power and unified all the gods in his person. All prayers were directed to him.
