Written By Lilly Polivoda

Jupiter in Astrology:

Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system, is a SOCIAL planet, meaning that this energy will play out with other people. In this post, you’ll learn more about what Jupiter represents in Astrology, Jupiter in each Zodiac sign and understand Jupiter’s physical properties.

Understanding how social planets play out in your natal chart is important to understand. Let’s look at some examples: you write a blog post and share it with others (social/other people), you start a poetry class (teacher/classmates/other people), you join a new gym (social/other people). Of course, all of these things are done from your own perspective and perception but the point is that the experience is also shared with others.
