It was imaged by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). The oval features are cyclones, up to 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) in diameter.
Jupiter is considered to be a planet of luck, representing wealth of both knowledge and of monetary value, skills and talent development, courage, confidence, duty, and success, as well as self-improvement and developing one’s own individuality.
This spread is to shed light on how Jupiter can help you:

In this composite image from near-infrared light, two of Jupiter’s moons are visible against the planet. The white circle in the middle of Jupiter is Io, and the blue circle at upper right is Ganymede. The three black spots are shadows cast by Io, Ganymede, and another moon, Callisto.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. Due to its massive size, there are multiple ways the planet could have formed. Regardless of its formation process, some scientists believe that Jupiter migrated inward right up to the orbit of Mars after its initial formation. This is referred to as the Grand Tack Hypothesis. In the early solar system, Neptune and the other outer planets may have begun interacting with icy planetesimals, sending comets from one planet to the next, causing Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn to move outwards as the comets moved inwards. When the comets reached Jupiter, the planet’s massive gravity flung the comets into highly elliptical orbits or out of the solar system entirely and Jupiter migrated inwards to conserve angular momentum.
As it made its way towards the Sun, Jupiter’s gravity would have prevented the asteroid belt material from forming into planets and swept away large amounts of material that may have made Mars more massive. Thanks to Saturn, Jupiter stopped its inward migration and turned around, settling approximately where we see it today. As Jupiter moved inward and Saturn moved outward, it’s theorized that they became locked in a 3:2 orbital resonance, with Saturn finishing 3 orbits around the Sun for Jupiter’s 2. Jupiter’s migration may have also brought icy and gaseous material into the inner solar system, helping the inner planets form their atmospheres and perhaps even providing those vital life-giving compounds we can thank for our existence today.
Facts:
Jupiter produces more heat than it receives from the Sun.
Jupiter is more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined.
The planet has at least 67 moons.
Jupiter is NOT a failed star. The smallest stars in the observable universe have about 1/12 of the Sun’s mass, and Jupiter has about 1/1000th of the Sun’s mass. Jupiter is simply a colossal planet.
The Great Red Spot is larger than Earth. It’s a colossal hurricane that’s been going on since the 17th century, maybe even before that.
Jupiter rotates faster than any of the other planets; a Jovian day is only about 10 Earth hours. It takes 11.86 years to orbit around the Sun.
Lighter stripes along the planet are called zones and darker stripes are called belts. They flow in opposite directions and turbulence between regions causes the Jupiter’s storms.

This is quite a simple charm that takes advantage of your creative side. You just might have to stay up late or wake up really early in order to complete it.
Ingredients:
Art supplies
The magic:
Draw, write, or create a representation of the planet Jupiter. As you do so imagine this great planet shining its blessings down upon you. Jupiter rules success and can grant it in any endeavor. When you feel that the representation is complete, set it aside and wait for the nearest hour of Jupiter to arrive. If possible, wait until next Thursday.
Use a calculator like this to determine the astrological hours of Jupiter. When the hour arrives, take out your representation. If you can, light a candle and some incense. Otherwise, meditate upon the blessings of Jupiter. Draw Jupiter’s energies down in to the charm, being aware that you are filling your charm with powerful magic. When you feel that the charm is complete, seal the spell in whatever way you are accustomed (”so mote it be”). If you like, bind the charm with some gold or violet thread.
Hang the charm up or carry it with you. Touch it and draw out extra blessings whenever you need it. Recharge the charm as needed. It is a Jupiter charm, so avoid charging it under the Sun or Moon. If you can’t wait around until the hours of Jupiter again, charging it on a Thursday will work.
