social planet
Jupiter enlarges and gives direction: confidence, law, belief, generosity and the larger ideas by which a life finds its bearings.
Expansion is not identical with good fortune. Jupiter can enlarge excess as readily as opportunity; its condition shows whether growth is proportionate.

He says these images were made for prosperity, honour, goodwill, protection from enemies and improved fortunes.
Agrippa connects Jupiter with good spirits, honour, lawful gain and people in positions of authority. His Jupiter list includes things he considers fruitful, mild or pleasant. Its images are meant to bring prosperity and favour.
Summarized from Agrippa's account of the planet and the things he places under it.
Johphiel
Printed at 136, the square's square total.
Zadkiel
This is Agrippa's first list. He gives another list in the same chapter; neither list names the square intelligences.
Zachariel
Agrippa gives this alternative name a few lines after his first list. These are not the names printed with the squares in Book II.

Jupiter in the first house gives a good, happy and long life; in the second riches; in the third family affection and fortunate short journeys;

JUPITER in the fifth house is a very favourable position, showing reasonable and legitimate affection, in which the senses are under control and the sympathetic side of the nature is expressed. It promises much success in courtship, and gain through the opposite sex.

JUPITER in the eighth house denotes a very peaceful and a perfectly natural death. It denotes, when afflicted, heart trouble and danger of death through blood poisoning, also through tumours, cancer and consumption. When not afflicted this is a very good position for finance after marriage, and generally denotes gain through a wealthy partner.

JUPITER in the ninth house is the ideal position for the philosopher or saint, unless afflicted, when religious fervour and devotion will take the place of philosophy of the metaphysical order. If afflicted: by Mars, a tendency to go to extremes in religious matters, also legal troubles and danger of shipwreck or accidents abroad ;

JUPITER in the tenth house denotes much success and prosperity. The moral standard is very high, and the native holds a very secure and important position at some period of his life. This is one of the best positions for financial and social success.

JUPITER in the eleventh house denotes many true and fortunate friends, by whom the native will always benefit. This position gives a love of social life, and causes the native to do much that will bring him friends and helpers.

Leo's book does not cover every planet in every house. Passages whose scans could not be read reliably are also omitted.
Two astrologers, both writing around 1900: Alan Leo, whose How to Judge a Nativity is the only one of these books arranged as a lookup table — a paragraph per planet per house; and Sepharial, who arranged the same material by the question a reader brings rather than by placement, so only a few of his judgements stand alone well enough to quote.
William Lilly is not included here. Christian Astrology (1647) is the most important book in English on the subject and appears elsewhere on the site, but the available scans use long-s blackletter, and the OCR renders the title of its own first book as “An Introduci ion to Aftrologje”. There is those scans do not support reliable quotation extraction. The same limitation applies to Ripley's Compound of Alchymy and Anderson's Constitutions elsewhere on the site.

Jupiter in Gemini shows that travel will bring both pleasure and profit and it gives an honorable, courteous and friendly disposition. But if Jupiter is afflicted the person is liable to meet with losses and trouble when traveling. He will have a number of hair-breadth escapes from accidents, legal and religious trouble, also difficulties with brothers, sisters and close relatives.

Leo's sign book covers only the Sun and the Moon, so it supplies no sign delineations for the other planets.
