Jupiter

 

Jupiter in astrology is the planet of expansion, open minds, self-awareness, our viewpoints, luck and opportunity. He is the king of the gods in Roman mythology, the planet of benefits and abundance.  

Jupiter in astronomy is the planet that keeps us and all other planets in our place in our solar system because of its gravitational power. Even the sun is in the grips of Jupiter.  

Astronomer Galileo was the first to spot Jupiter’s moons. Jupiter is our solar system’s largest planet. 

While listening to Gustav Holst – Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity I am swept up to the sky into the atmosphere of Jupiter. Happy, energetic, floating, open to the infinite possibilities of this small life and of the universe. How lucky we are to be on this planet with the help of Jupiter.  

Mr. Holst’s musical description of Jupiter is cheerful, boisterous, enjoyable and merry and high spirited.  

Jupiter and his moons agree with Mr. Holst’s rendition and in his jolly merriment is happy to keep our planet and wonderful solar system in its place way out there in outer space.
