🏛 Symbolism & Mythology

Jupiter (Zeus) is the king of the gods — expansive, authoritative, justice-oriented, thunder-wielding. He embodies abundance, protection, rulership, and divine favor.

In tarot, Jupiter aligns with The Wheel of Fortune — cycles of opportunity, fate’s turning, the rise after the dip.

Your Jupiter shows where you are meant to grow beyond your own expectations.
