What is my Jupiter sign?
Your Jupiter sign is the sign Jupiter was in when you were born, and it shows where you grow, find luck and feel most generous. Astrologers call Jupiter the planet of expansion, so its sign describes the style in which good things tend to come to you.
Jupiter spends about a year in each sign, so most people born within the same twelve months share it. Your Jupiter house, which needs a birth time, is what makes the placement personal.
How do I find my Jupiter placement?
Enter your birth date, time and place in the calculator above. The date gives your Jupiter sign, and the time and place give the house, which shows the area of life where Jupiter's growth shows up. Your results also list your Jupiter returns.
What is a Jupiter return?
A Jupiter return is when Jupiter comes back to the exact spot it held when you were born, which happens about every 12 years, around ages 12, 24, 36, 47, 59, 71 and 83.
Astrologers see each return as the start of a new growth cycle, a good time to widen your world through study, travel or a new commitment. Because Jupiter sometimes moves backward, it can touch your birth position up to three times in a few months; the calculator gives the first time it does.
What does my Jupiter house mean?
Your Jupiter house shows where opportunities tend to appear. Jupiter in the 2nd house often brings growth through money and resources, in the 7th through partners, in the 9th through learning and travel and in the 10th through career and public life.
Your results name your Jupiter house. For what each house covers, see the 12 astrology houses explained.
