[Music] Jupiter is a social planet. It's very much about preserving the current morality that is going to promote the current of ways of believing, the status quo. And it is also about expansion, but it is gradual expansion, not radical expansion as Uranus's.
And the reason that Jupiter is gradual expansion is it's education. And think about how education takes place. It's over the course of time, sometimes for a large education over the course of a decade. So it's something where we are gradually expanding our mind and our beliefs through learning, through exposing ourselves to ideas that are outside our current cultural thinking. That's the one side to Jupiter.
The other side is that we are expanding our belief in what already is. That means the status quo, through educating ourselves only about that, only what's within our culture. Every planet has two sides. And with Jupiter, it's closed. It's it's becoming an echo chamber of beliefs, or it is learning one's way out of their current beliefs into the actual truth of things. So it's learning the truth, or it's learning what you think is the truth. And they are they are not recognized to be different things by the latter.
But the person who thinks that they have the truth, you can't reason somebody out of Jupiter. It actually does represent reasoning ability, but only in the but in the sense that that people can either be reasoned with because they're using their actual intelligence, or they cannot be reasoned with because they are using their belief. And those are the two main differences in how Jupiter functions. You either become an ideologue and clinging to your ideology, or you become somebody who does not have one because they see that they learn their way out of it.
And so that's why it represents religion, but it also represents higher education. So that's me drinking my coffee, by the way. So Jupiter is something that through its gradual expansion, we learn either more of what our culture, because Jupiter also represents culture, we learn more of our culture and more of our religion, and that becomes our entire view of truth. Or we learn beyond that. So that's why it is the assimilation of experiences, but in a a non-abstract area of activity. So it's going to be defined with Jupiter. Uranus is non-definition of how it does is its expansion.
So Jupiter is the largest dude in the solar system. He's 483 million miles from the Sun. And to make a revolution around the Sun, whose orbit is 11.86 years. He's a big dude. And he has a big, a big, a big place when it comes to the effect on collective human, the collective human being. And that is coming through how the individual human being is adhering to culture and the teachings that are within our our society. So Mercury is the immediacy of our environment. It's our neighborhood and our workplace and our siblings. Jupiter is the environment that goes to the end of the borders of our culture, of our country. And Uranus is all inclusion, its global, globalism, it's everybody gets to take part. So if these three levels of thinking with these three planets are small thinking, we have bigger thinking, and then we have big inclusive thinking when we go from Mercury, Jupiter, to Uranus.
So Jupiter is that he's that planet that is many times being used for them, the purpose of material expansion, as well as the purpose of spiritual or religious expansion. The two things can cross over where Jupiter is concerned. And that's why religion and money, abundance, humor, ideology, philosophy, our beliefs, they are all, all of that is represented by Jupiter because they are all related. So he's about either expanding our knowledge or preserving meaning, expanding out of our cultural knowledge into a more full knowledge, or preserving that cultural knowledge from becoming entrenched in it, in a closed way.
And Jupiter wants to promote and increase in the way that he's aspected. And that that's always his job. He wants to promote and increase in any sign that that's his essential character. The aspects will show what is promoted and increased. And the sign is going to show how and when, what as well, are what is the style of promotion and what is Jupiter meeting the need to promote in the sign and to attain, to attain to a larger degree. So it's either a more inclusive philosophical outlook or a more exclusive philosophical outlook. And the abundance that comes to us is very much related to that.
So Jupiter is the Guru, the teacher, the one that we go to for information, the one that we pay for information, the counselor. And so it's showing us that there's really two sides to belief. A belief is not connected to, is not one thing. A belief is going to be connected to all kinds of different tendrils and other beliefs and opinions and the identity. And so Jupiter is really important to understand when it comes to someone's judgments about the world. It's really the judge. It's the one that determines what are the ultimate virtues of something, what is something's moral character. And those judgments will be dependent upon how big Jupiter has gotten in someone's psyche or how narrow Jupiter is in someone's inner mythology.
So that's what we want to look at and that's what we want to really work on when we have a more narrow Jupiter is expanding it in a way where it doesn't result in more closed belief systems that actually cannot point to the truth. They can only point to reinforcing what one already believes to be about the truth. So we have two choices when it comes to Jupiter. We can believe what we want to believe, and what we've always believed, and what we've been taught to believe. We can learn our way out of that and expand into actual knowledge.
So knowledge based on someone else's knowledge is rarely knowledge. That's usually the passing on of delusion or illusion. Knowledge is really gained for oneself. It really comes through self-experience. You can take all the knowing that other people can give you, but unless it becomes something that comes through your own personal experience, you can't really know it to be true. So that's why Jupiter is also the plethora of experiences. It's an adventure, doing new things, going new places, because travel does lead to education. Travel is education. Travel shows you different ideas. It shows you different ways. It shows you different approaches. It stretches your mind.
So that's what you just about stretching, getting bigger, expanding. And again, it's done two ways. Either expanding upon what we already know, or expanding to go beyond what we already know into what we're actually learning for ourselves. And that's the magic of Jupiter. Is that we can either adhere to taught moralities, or we can get really brave and we can create our own, our own morality, our own sense of right and wrong that really comes from exploration of the actual truth of things. So there's two sides to every planet. And Jupiter is either open-mindedness or closed-mindedness when we really look at it, at at its its deeper meaning.
It is something that can make us intelligent or culturally stupid. And it is also something that represents things such as in-laws, things that we bring to us as a result of making some kind of often culturally derived connection or traditional connection. So it's it's a fascinating planet. And it really does lead to either more intelligence or more stupidity depending on how you use it. And it's something that we typically associate always with the the broader, the higher mind. But it depends on what someone is believing to be the broader or the higher mind, what they will choose to absorb and what they will choose to learn and then what they will choose to teach.
So Jupiter is one of those planets that he's something that [Music] that we can either use and again in that well-defined area of activity and master what we know within that well-defined area of activity, so mastering what we've been taught. But it's also that other side of learning and being hungry for more information to expand into what we don't know. And that's where actual mind expansion happens, not an expansion of one's belief. So basically, it's either expansion of intelligence or expansion of belief, which is regression of intelligence. [Music] you [Music]
