Jupiter is a massive gas giant that is 318 times more massive than the Earth. To become a star, it would need to be 70 times its current mass.
Jupiter spins faster than any other planet, taking a little under 10 hours to complete a turn on its axis, compared with 24 hours for Earth. This rapid spin makes Jupiter bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles. This rapid rotation also helps generate Jupiter’s powerful magnetic fields and contribute to the dangerous radiation surrounding it.
Jupiter's three rings came as a surprise when NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft discovered them around the planet's equator in 1979. Each are much fainter than Saturn's rings. These rings are believed to have come from material ejected by its moons when they are struck by meteorite impacts. Ripples in the rings of both Jupiter and Saturn may be signs of impacts from comets and asteroids.
According to 2007 research theory, varying wind patterns periodically destabilize Jupiter’s atmosphere leading to major changes on the planet. Its gaseous nature, the extraordinary storms, wind speeds, lighting, and the Great Red Spot do not conflict with Jupiter's astrological image.

Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field in the Solar System. It is believed to have advanced both towards and away from the Sun moving asteroids and planets like billiard balls. Currently Jupiter may keep asteroids from bombarding Earth, and recent events have shown that Jupiter can absorb significant impacts. The magnetosphere of Jupiter is also responsible for intense episodes of radio emission from the planet’s polar regions.
Jupiter is a source of powerful bursts of natural radio waves that can produce exotic sounds when picked up on Earth using simple antennas and shortwave receivers. Even though human ears cannot hear the radio waves directly. Scientists discovered that there are multiple forms of radio signals transmitted from Jupiter. Decametric bursts vary with the rotation of Jupiter. Io, one of the larger moons of Jupiter, has a major effect on whether we hear any Jupiter radio emission or not. Thermal radiation radio waves are produced by heat in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Radio telescopes have allowed astronomers to learn much about its atmosphere, thermal properties, and behavior.
Jupiter has been visited 7 times by spacecraft. Does Jupiter have a solid core? The short answer is we don’t know. In 1997, the existence of a solid core was suggested by gravitational measurements. It could very well have a solid core which is surrounded by a thick layer of metallic hydrogen. It is also possible that interaction between this metallic hydrogen and the core caused the loss of a solid core. Currently we do not know.

Juno- Female Counter Part of Jupiter
Jupiter is the last king of the gods in Roman mythology. He was the god of the sky and thunder. He was known as Zeus in Greek mythology.
Jupiter's father was Saturn who swallowed all his children except Jupiter. His mother hid him. When Jupiter grew up, he made Saturn vomit up all the children he had swallowed. All the brothers and sisters joined forces and overthrew Saturn. They exiled him.
Jupiter and his brothers divided the universe into three parts, Jupiter obtaining the heavens, Neptune the sea, and Pluto the underworld. This is how Jupiter became the king of the gods.

Jupiter's astrological reputation of being lucky and too large to be held accountable often disappears when the planet Saturn connects.
Expansion can face restriction. Abuse of power can face justice.
The king of the planets contains 318 times more mass than Earth. Saturn contains about 95 Earth masses. Jupiter has 2 1/2 times the gravity of Saturn. Saturn has 84 moons while Jupiter has 74. The difference is not significant. Jupiter has the largest magnetic field.

Juno- Female Counter Part of Jupiter
Juno was the protector and special counselor of the state. A daughter of Saturn, she is the wife of Jupiter and the mother of Mars, Vulcan, Bellona. and Juventas. She is the Roman equivalent of Hera, queen of the gods in Greek mythology.
As Juno's cult expanded, she assumed wider functions and became, like Hera, the principal female divinity of the state. As Sospita, she is portrayed as an armed deity. She was invoked all over Latium (central western Italy) and known originally as a savior of women. She eventually became the savior of the state.
With Jupiter and Minerva, she was a member of the Capitoline triad of deities traditionally introduced by the Etruscan kings. Ovid (Fasti, Book V) relates Juno was jealous of Jupiter for giving birth to Minerva from his own head. After Flora gave her an herb, Juno gave birth to Mars.
Juno was connected with all aspects of the life of women, most particularly married life.
Be aware that Juno refers to a God, a dwarf planet and an Expedition.
The Jovian System

Jovian has come to mean anything associated with Jupiter; and by extension, a Jupiter-like planet. Within the Solar System, four Jovian planets exist beyond our Solar System’s “Frost Line”.
The frost line is the region where water, ammonia, and methane begin to freeze. It is the frost line that determines whether a rocky or gas planet will form.
The Jovian system currently includes many known moons. The four largest are known as the Galilean Moons, which are named after their discoverer, Galileo Galilei. They include: Io, the most volcanically active body in our Solar System; Europa, which is suspected of having a massive subsurface ocean; Ganymede, the largest moon in our Solar System; and Callisto, which is also thought to have a subsurface ocean and features some of the oldest surface material in the Solar System.
As the most massive body in the solar system after the sun, the pull of Jupiter's gravity has helped shape the fate of our solar system. Jupiter's gravity is likely responsible for violently hurling Neptune and Uranus outward.
That fits with mythology.

Jupiter's "ocean world" moons may have strong gravitational effects on each other, raising big tides in each other’s subsurface seas. Surprisingly, these moon-moon tidal forces might generate more heat in the satellites' oceans than the gravitational tugs of giant Jupiter.
Researchers have determined that the Galilean moons have an outsized influence on each other thanks to "tidal resonance" — basically, a reinforcing sync-up of a gravitational tug and the natural rocking of the satellites' oceans. The moons are more tidally resonant with each other than with Jupiter, which explains why the giant planet's powerful pull doesn't translate into bigger tidal effects.
Astronomers suspect that the moon Europa's sea, one of the most promising abodes for alien life in the solar system, is more than 50 miles deep. The average depth of Earth's ocean is about 12,100 feet. The deepest part of the ocean is about 7 miles compared to 50 miles.
The four largest moons of Jupiter, called Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, were known since Galileo Galilei.. Jupiter's 79 known moons, are mostly named after Jupiter's paramours, victims, or children. Mythologically Jupiter had many.
Radio Signals from Jupiter
In the 1950's, scientists Bernard Burke and Kenneth Franklin mistook radio signals from Jupiter for a Maryland farmhand driving home after a late date. It was an easy mistake to make back in 1955 as they set out to map the northern sky using a radio astronomy array in the middle of a rural 96-acre field about 20 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.
Before that fateful night, astronomers had never picked up radio signals from any other planet besides Earth. Their receivers were housed in a distant Army surplus truck. When other scientists looked back into their records for signals from Jupiter, they found discarded data as far back as five years.
Scientists started to understand Jupiter's rotation rate by watching the cloud patterns move across the planet. By listening to the radio bursts, they were able to improve on that information, determining that Jupiter rotates once in about 10 hours -- more than twice as fast as Earth.

Jupiterian - Sagitarian Energy
Jupiter is associated with the planet, the god, the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, and the 9th house of the astrology chart.
Jupiter’s glyph is a crescent, receptive to left-brain perceptions and attached to the cross of matter, which also symbolizes objective material realities. This shows the ability to perceive the potential of material circumstances, and often leads us to physical or mental exploration. This broadens our experiences and accumulates greater sustenance to maintain life on the material plane. If the crescent outweighs the cross, we can become enthralled by adventure for its own sake, lose sight of the purpose of our ventures, and become impractical or restless. If the cross outweighs the crescent, we can become too shallow and materialistic, misunderstanding the larger social impact of our acquisitions and accumulations. In balance, we harness our explorations to practical use and still do not allow pragmatism to overshadow consideration for others
http://www.uranian-institute.org/bfglyphs.htm
The planet is expansive action. Being an entirely mutable planet, its action is largely on the mental plane which encourages philosophy, education, theology, travel, speculative thinking, and even risk taking of all kinds. Jupiter is often called the planet of luck. Beings with Jupiter prominent are usually fortunate, especially if they possess common sense and a sense of moderation; otherwise they tempt their fortunes too far. Jupiter’s faith can be unbounded.
Jupiter and Saturn are the giant gas planets. They were once the last of the known planets.
As the King of the Gods, Jupiter rules law and political power. Power and law can be seen as evil or unjust; however, power can also be seen as good and as energy for exercising humanistic objectives that will help, move, and empower others. Jupiter, the old, personalized deity of the Etruscan kings, found a new home in the Roman Republic. He was a god of light, a protector during defeat, and the giver of victory.
Jupiter, however, had his detractors and challenges. After the death of Julius Caesar, who was Jupiter’s personal priestly officer. Emperor Augustus’ followers initiated the worship of the emperor as a god. St. Augustine, author of City of God, condemned both Roman society and its religion. He wrote that not only had the Roman gods failed to protect the Romans from disaster, but Jupiter was singled out as being an adulterer.
Jupiter was the son of Saturn who exiled his father. Saturn represents all that stabilizes, defines, and makes secure. In Jupiter’s view Saturn was the father who resisted the birth of Jupiter and his siblings. That opposing energy is still seen when they connect today.
Sagittarius is the ninth astrological sign and spans 240–270th degrees of the zodiac. Sagittarius, half human- half horse, is the centaur of mythology, the learned healer whose higher intelligence forms a bridge between Earth and Heaven. Along with Aries and Leo, Sagittarius is a part of the Fire trinity. It has a mutability that features changeable quality.
The Sagittarian has a well reputed love of travel and an urge for exploration that calls for adventure and space - physically, intellectually, and emotionally. They are 'people' people, and crowds adore them, but they make heavy demands on personal relationships. As the astrologer Robert Hand points out, Jupiter relates to two apparently different but closely related sets of energies: the energy of expansion and the energy of integration. In the desire to grow, the need to handle details and deal with the minor aspects of living tends to get overlooked.
The ninth house manifests as philosophy, perspective, and travel. It is a place of higher mind and understanding beyond everything found in our material world, beyond our boundaries, and limits of our body. Everything that widens our perspective teaches us something new, and helps us move forward is in our ninth house. It carries our life philosophy and religion, as well as matters of law and ethics. Setting ourselves free is important here.
Jupiter urges us to look beyond the immediate facts to the current situation and see a deeper meaning, significance, and purpose. To find meaning and purpose in life is a need which cannot be too highly estimated.

Where we find Jupiter, we tend to want more of whatever that planet signifies. Thus, Jupiter is associated with wealth. Our Jupiter aspects will describe the ease or difficulty with which we attain, use or recognize wealth.
This is the basis for the complaint that Sagittarians lack tact and discretion. Their frankness is-frequently considered 'brutal honesty'. It is often abrasive to others, who might normally expect a little more restraint and delicacy before sensitive matters are subjected to the sledgehammer of public appraisal.
Is Sagittarius a sign you can trust?
Candor, openness, bringing issues to a level where they can be explored and resolved is very much a key element of the Sagittarian temperament. But whether you can trust them to keep a confidence is another matter. This is not a sign to divulge your darkest secrets to; Sagittarians want to act, to change things, to take full responsibility for alleviating your problems and involving themselves on your behalf. It's an admirable trait in many respects, but not one you'll appreciate when all you wanted was to gain some furtive advice so you could resolve the matter discreetly and in your own good time. https://www.skyscript.co.uk/sagittarius.html
