Jupiter the largest of the planets in our solar system, and thus closely linked to ideas of expansiveness, joviality as well as success.  The day associated with Jupiter is Thursday and so today being Thursday is the day I have chosen to discuss a little more about the symbolism of the sigil used for this giant planet.

Jupiter

The sigil of Jupiter is an equal-armed cross with a left-facing crescent joined to the left-hand arm of the cross by its bottom tip.  Although the sigil is made of the same components as the Saturn sigil, the emphasis here is on expansion rather than contraction, with the crescent facing outwards, expressing the balance of form outwards in time producing change, rather than limiting it inwards to a static state.
