'''Jupiter''' is the fifth planet from the [[Sun]] and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, but slightly less than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Jupiter is the third-brightest natural object in the [[Earth]]'s night sky after the [[Moon]] and [[Venus]]. People have been observing it since prehistoric times; it was named after the Roman god Jupiter, the king of the gods, because of its observed size. | '''Jupiter''' is the fifth planet from the [[Sun]] and the largest in the Solar System.

[[astrology|Astrologically]], luck and good fortune are associated with Jupiter. This is a kind and benevolent planet, one that wants us to grow and flourish in a positive way. Jupiter may be judge and jury, but it’s mostly an honorable helpmate, seeing to it that we’re on the right path. While our success, accomplishments and prosperity are all within Jupiter’s realm, this largesse can, at times, deteriorate into laziness and sloth (Jupiter, at its worst, is associated with weight gain!). More often than not, however, Jupiter will guide us down the primrose path. | [[astrology|Astrologically]], luck and good fortune are associated with Jupiter.

Leisure time is also strongly associated with Jupiter. Sports of all kinds, games of chance and a stroll in the park with the family pet (Jupiter loves animals) –- these are all ruled by this planet. Finally, Jupiter often presages great wealth, material and otherwise. This is a good friend in the heavens | Leisure time is also strongly associated with Jupiter.
