"Jupiter is hot and moist, temperate, modest, honest, adventurous, liberal, merciful, loving, and faithful; i. e. giving these inclinations: and therefore those ancient kings, beautified with these conditions, might be called thereafter Jupiter".

"Beyond the sphere of Mars, in distant skies, Revolves the mighty magnitude of Jove, With, kingly state, the rival of the Sun. About him round, four planetary Moons, On earth with wonder, all night long beheld. Moon above Moon, his fair attendants dance".

Jupiter is the brightest of all the planets, except Venus, which on some occasions, exceeds him in splendor. He is considered the largest, and next to Saturn, the most powerful planet in the system. He is found to be a planet in nature hot and moist, sanguine and diurnal, the author next under divine providence, of every earthly good, and "every perfect gift;" as also of temperance, justice, moderation and fortitude. He is equally as powerful in good, as Saturn was before described to be in evil; the cause of riches, honors, and the greatest success in life. When a native is born under his influence, he will be tall and fair, handsome, portly, erect, and free in his carriage, robust, ruddy, oval face, high forehead, full grey or light.eyes, soft thick brown hair, wide chest, long feet; altogether what is termed "a good looking person", noble appearance, and gracious aspect, commanding and dignified whether male or female. If Jupiter be fortified by dignities or aspects at birth, the native will be wise, just, good, affable, magnanimous, mild and temperate in manners, moderate and moral, or religious.

If ill dignified or ill fortified and afflicted, by aspects of Saturn, Mars, or Herschel, he will be a squanderer of his wealth, a prodigal, reckless of shame, of shallow abilities, easily led astray by fools, a bigot in religion, and a great epicure, or given to intoxication, luxury, immoderately lascivious and lustful, and honest only in appearances; yet even then, he will be esteemed as a "hairbrained boon companion", giving up to every ones humour, never given to quarrels, but bearing injuries without much repining, and a general, but not a firm friend.

The real nature of Jupiter is freedom, confidence, generosity, frankness, benevolence, charity, good will, and nobleness of disposition, being the exact reverse of the mistrust and cunning of Saturn. Persons born under his favourable influences, are useful and happy members of society, and almost universally beloved.

This planet rules the lungs, blood, and internal viscera; his diseases are those which are either seated in those parts, or which arise from a plethoric habit and corrupt blood. He is friendly by sympathy to and the . He has but one enemy, which is
