• Overall Book On Jupiter 02 December, 2001
In the prologue the author writes that he began writing this book, inspired by Pluto entering Sagittarius and expecting the increase in Sagittarius and its ruler, Jupiterfs influence. Though Jupiter has been regarded as the best of fortune planet, it is the most neglected planet in astrology. The author attempts to provide us with the whole picture of Jupiter in this book, explaining the key concepts and interpretive guidelines in the first part of the book, and then more detailed cookbook in the latter parts. What is the most interesting to me is that his comparison of Jupiter to Mercury, and also that of Sagittarius and the other three Mutable signs. As he mentions, all the Mutable signs are related to "learning." Gemini and Virgo are ruled by Mercury, while Sagittarius and Pisces are (traditionally) ruled by Jupiter. So his way of comparing Jupiter to Mercury is actually very indicative to me. The author quotes from Charles Carter and writes that "Jupiter is a constructive and progressive Mercury. The latter is concerned with things as they are; it examines, it does not speculate or plan ahead. Jupiter seems to be the type of the explorer and experimenter, always ready to sweep its gaze towards wider horizons whether mental or physical." In another part, he also quotes that "the vision of Gemini is normal, that of Virgo microscopic; but Jupiter is telescopic, scanning distant horizons. Mercury studies local maps; he is usually an authority on tubes and bus routes. But Jupiter asks for atlases and maps of continents." Though modern Western educational system is dominated by Mercurian, the author insists on the importance of Jupiterfs envisioning, planning, improving, taking risks based on faith throughout the book. In the human relationship, the author writes that those around Jupiterians may feel injured because of their insensitivity. In other words, the Jupiterian's sins come more often from omission than commission. Jupiterians do not intend to neglect others and their feelings. But they have begun to "above it all," and the results in an impersonal insensitivity to human feelings.

• Insigntful And Helpful 27 March, 2007
one part of the book explores jupiter (and both jupiter ruled signs in the mental cross, namely pisces and sagittarius), their similarities and differences. it explores jupiterian personality into great detail and gives both very broad and detailed view of jupiter, includes many quotes from other authors, some of which are completely unavailable elsewhere (mainly out of print).
second part is more of a cookbook, as it explores meaning of jupiter in signs and houses and various aspects.
i have to admit having read the cookbook part for my dear ones, not thru and thru, and i found it insightful and useful, albeit slightly unexpected.
4 stars for style of writing, which is unfocussed, slightly scattered and sometimes repetitive. i am a foreigner and it was pretty difficult to concentrate on this one..

• One Of The Best Astrology Books I've Read 23 January, 2000
I generally don't find books about individual planets all that interesting--but Stephen Arroyo has done it right. He makes a powerful case for the importance of a planet that is often overlooked or treated blandly in chart interpretation--largely arguing from the charts of well-known people, in a series of perceptive readings that are themselves a great introduction to and argument for the art of astrology.(Credit should be given to editor Barbara McEnerney, who contributed several of the chart readings--she and Arroyo should consider collaborating on a book of famous charts.) The book includes full descriptions of how Jupiter can be interpreted by sign, house, aspect and transit. One big plus is that Arroyo quotes what other astrologers had to say about these factors--showing both common understandings and disagreements. There's also an insightful discussion of what Jupiter means in general, looking at the planet in conjunction with Sagittarius (and also Pisces) and in contrast with Saturn.Even if you don't have a particular interest in Jupiter, you'll enjoy this book if you like great astrological writing.
