1Practical Course of Judicial Astrology — Teachings of Surya.
2S∴I∴ — Having seen the Planet Saturn in the previous number, let us examine today: JUPITER — Says J. BURGOYNE, the Rosicrucian and Author of "The Light of Egypt", quoted by PAPUS: Under his symbolic aspect we find Jupiter universally known to all the Ancients, and among the Greeks under the name of Zeus, the celestial father of all things.
3In Aryan symbolism we find him represented under the name of "Universal Father of Heaven".
4The two conceptions, Greek and Aryan, are thus identical.
5In the more homely conceptions of the bold sons of the North we see Jupiter represented by Thor — whence comes the Saxon Thors-day (day of Thor) and the modern English Thursday, the day this planet rules according to tradition.
6Kabbalistically, the planet Jupiter signifies etheric absorption in the Great Man.
7He therefore represents the sense of smell in the body of humanity.
8It is the sense by which the developed soul perceives and shares the subtlest aromatic essences of nature.
9On the esoteric planisphere Jupiter becomes the celestial Zachariel or Zadkiel, and represents also the impartial spirit of detachment.
10In that quality he designates the principles and philosophy of arbitration — the perfect organisation of equilibrium by the suppression of disturbing forces.
11As a symbol of the attributes of absorption, the kabbalistic authors of the Books of Moses speak of him frequently, and give us to understand that "a sweet aromatic perfume" was offered to the Lord during the sacred rites of the temple service.
12Considered astrologically, the planet Jupiter is the largest and, after Saturn, the most powerful of our solar system.
13Jupiter signifies all that is really good and charitable in human life.
14His action is truly noble, far removed from the awkward timidity of Saturn or the immodest daring of Mars; the pure son of Jupiter spreads his genial warmth through the atmosphere around him.
15Totally incapable of deceit, he never suspects others — for which reason he is a frequent victim of their cunning and duplicity.
16The nature of this planet suggests itself when we say that the Jupiterian believes every person honest until proved perverse — and even after the proof, pardons once or twice before punishing.
17On the intellectual Plane, Jupiter indicates a superior moral nature, the humanitarian qualities — it is he who fosters the formation of noble and charitable institutions and undertakings.
18Those dominated by his influence are the expression of the highest form of human nature.
19There is something truly lordly, royal, in the influence of this planet — a mixture of father, patriarch and king.
20Such individuals do much to redeem the human race from its general depravity.
21In Jupiterians will always be found, on the intellectual plane, a very acute sense of discernment, whereby they possess rare qualities of justice — and hence are given the title of Judges of the people.
22When they deviate, it is always towards clemency.
