This is Marie Cisneros with the Muskegon Channel. Welcome back to Muskegon by the stars with a special holiday forecast!
The ruler of Sagittarius, the sign we just left, is ruled by Jupiter and as Jupiter has a significant connection with one of our most cherished holiday traditions, I thought it might be fun to focus on some of its symbolism. Jupiter was named after the Roman sky God and in Roman mythology, he was considered the highest of the gods; honored as a symbol of peace, protection and victory. As patron god of the Roman state, he also presided over social order and laws.
As leader of the planets, Jupiter has come to represent expansion as well as faith, optimism, justice, and mercy. Jupiter can also bring prosperity and increased income through wisdom and knowledge. At the opposite end of the spectrum, it has a potential for overindulgence, lack of boundaries, or blind optimism.
Sagittarius leads up to the Winter Solstice every December and in the past, St. Nicholas day was celebrated in the middle of the month on December 6. Because Jupiter also symbolized abundance, joy and exuberance, it became associated with St. Nicholas and eventually Santa Claus. St. Nicholas was said to leave coins or treats in good little children’s shoes or a lump of coal if they were bad. Like Santa and his list, Jupiter presides over who will be rewarded or punished, so one can easily see the connection between these two mythical figures and Jupiter. And to top it off, Santa’s jovial good nature comes from Jupiter’s other name, Jove; which means happy or cheerful. It’s Jupiter that gives Santa that twinkle in his eye, merriment, generosity of spirit as well as his ample waistline. As for him arriving in the middle of the night unannounced, Jupiter is also known for lack of boundaries.
