Do Jupiter and Saturn have any astrological significance?
Do Jupiter and Saturn have any astrological significance? A question I asnwered on Quora.
All the planets in our solar system have astrological significance.
In Western astrology these planets are complementary opposites to each other – Jupiter expands, Saturn contracts. Jupiter optimistic, Saturn pessimistic.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius and shares rulership of Pisces.
Here are some keywords as to what it represents:
Expansion, growth, new horizons to aim for; “can do” optimism and natural belief in self; the urge to self-improvement and a deepening of one’s participation in life; the urge to find joy and meaning to one’s life.
Saturn
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn and shares rulership of Aquarius.
Here are some keywords as to what it represents:
Where one feels limited, restricted; the urge to control, condition and organise one’s life; the urge towards self-acceptance, having position, status, responsibility, maturity, seriousness, discipline, perseverance, patience and humility; awareness of time and the ageing process.
I hope that helps.
