History and folklore
Jupiter is the largest planet and shines steadily bright, so the Romans named it for the king of their gods, the Greek Zeus. He was a sky father who brought rain, upheld oaths and sent blessings. Astrologers called Jupiter the greater benefic, the most fortunate of planets, and linked it with growth, generosity, faith and learning. Its traditional metal is tin. Witches call on Jupiter for prosperity, luck, legal matters, higher study and widening their view of the world.
