Today's Jupiter (ancient Egyptian: Hor-wepesh-taui; Hebrew: צֶדֶק Tsedeq; astronomical sign: ♃) arose from a spiritual-scientific point of view, when the so-called Old Sun's existence was repeated in an abbreviated form during the earth evolution. It consists essentially of gas and heat. Jupiter's sidereal orbital period is 11.86 years.
„Jupiter has a moderate active power because its motion is between the cooling influence of Saturn and the burning power of Mars. It heats and moistens; And because its heating power is the greater because of the underlying spheres, it produces fertilising winds.“
– Claudius Ptolemy: Terabiblos, Book I, The Power of the Planets
A Great Conjunction of [[Saturn and Jupiter occurs about every 20 years. Some astronomers and historians suggest that the Star of Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth may have been a Great Conjunction in the years 7 to 6 B.C.[1][2] The most recent, spiritually very significant Great Conjunction occurred in the evening of December 21, 2020.
