Astrologically speaking, Jupiter is associated with the principles of growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, good fortune, and miracles. Jupiter governs long distance and foreign travel, big business and wealth, higher education, religion, and the law. Jupiter expresses generosity and tolerance - its influence helps people to stay calm and cope with difficulties that might arise. This planet influences one's spiritual growth by helping maintain optimism. Jupiter traditionally rules both Sagittarius and Pisces, with Pisces being modernly ruled by dreamy, spiritual and soulful Neptune. Jupiter's energy is optimistic, hopeful, compassionate and generous. I often refer to it as a “guardian angel” that is always there to guide and enrich your life. Jupiter takes 12 years to go around the Sun, so it generally spends about 12 to 13 months in each zodiac sign. 

Jupiter is known for its stripes and large red spot. The Galileo spacecraft took this photo of Jupiter's Great Red Spot in 1996. Jupiter's four largest moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) are known as the Galilean satellites because they were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. 

When Jupiter is strong, the person is likely to be blessed with wealth, spiritual success and progeny. One also tends to keep the company of good people. Think of Jupiter as the wealthy, intelligent, and fun-loving maximalist of the zodiac — it wants to take up space, have a good time, and do the most at all times. This go-big-or-go-home attitude is what makes Jupiter such an optimistic and fortune-bringing astrological force. 

Impact of Jupiter in love relations depicts a happy & good relation. If in horoscope, Jupiter is placed in an auspicious position then it depicts a better married life. Union of Jupiter with benefic planets & presence in an auspicious house, depicts a positive situation.
