I’ve never understood why some consider Jupiter to be a great protector. Actually Jupiter doesn’t cover all the bases at all times and doesn’t make distinctions.
It catches a few, sends a few off into the outer reaches of the solar system, and it flings a few our way. Very likely it does these things in what I would assume to be fairly equal numbers.

Thats what happened, Greg Laughlin of the University of California at Santa Cruz, said, to a chunk of iron and nickel about 50 yards across roughly 10 million to 100 million years ago. The result is a hole in the desert almost a mile wide and 500 feet deep in northern Arizona, called Barringer Crater. A gift, perhaps, from our friend and lord, Jupiter. Unlike the science writers, fact checkers and editors at the exalted New York Times, I'm aware that Barringer Crater is only believed to be about 50,000 years old.

It takes almost 12 years for Jupiter to travel around the sun..Only a hippy would say Jupiter is protecting us..

This sounds an awful lot like “Intelligent Design.” The massive gravity of the sun on one side and the significant gravities of the gaseous giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune on the other. Think of Aircraft Carrier Earth in the middle of the protective fleet.

As long as it doesn't align with Mars when the Moon is in the seventh house. :')
