Jupiter in the signs - Taurus

Jupiter in Taurus slows down a couple of gears compared to Jupiter in Aries. This Jupiter believes in wealth, accumulation, a comfortable lifestyle with the necessary luxuries to accompany him. His philosophy in life is based on enjoyment and comforts which he achieves slowly but surely – without wanting to make too much of an effort but by economising to get the best possible result. Jupiter also rules wisdom. However, with this placement, knowledge and expansion of the mind are directed towards earthly objective and tangible results. This Jupiter needs to feel full of life and wants to be part of it at any given time. Theoretical and intellectual world views don’t carry much weight for him – he would rather know what things look, feel and taste like.

The Taurus-Jupiter has the right amount of patience to wait for the right moment before he deems it time to act or, most likely, to react. Before it gets to that point though, he would rather focus on the good times. Sometimes, however, this Jupiter may indeed miss the right moment and realises that on occasion, it pays to get going a little sooner.

In the sign of Venus, Jupiter in Taurus trusts everything Venusian – relationships, love, romance, solid values, self-worth, luxuries and comfort.

In business, this Jupiter needs to be able to see the real value of every offer. As Jupiter rules optimism, he may be able to take a few risks but only if they are really worthwhile. Jupiter in Taurus also brings the necessary levels of tolerance and patience to see things through.

In relationships, this Jupiter is one of the most generous. He loves his family and partner and of course wants them to be part of his comfortable life that he has built for himself.  

Martha Stewart, the American business magnate, author, homemaking advocate and former stockbroker has her Jupiter in Taurus in the 8th house. This can mean large amounts of other people's money. However, she has a Libra Ascendant which means that Jupiter rules her less auspicious 3rd and 6th houses. 





Jupiter brings everything these houses stand for into the realm of the 8th house and plain speaking, this means large amounts of 'secret money', 'hidden knowledge' and 'secret wealth'. With this placement, there may also be a considerable inaccuracies when it comes to accounting and telling the straight truth - she was convicted for insider trading in 2004 when she ran the a Dasha or timeframe of the lord of the 8th house!

This is the North Indian style to present the birth chart - same as Western charts, just different!
