In the modern view, many view Jupiter intrinsically a planet of gluttony and abundance, that whatever he touches will turn into an excess of unnecessary or unwanted items. Many people view this planet to be negative, despite also being considered the planet of good luck. Being the planet of good luck, you never find any modern astrologer using this in delineation to point out where the native is lucky or not. Just an excessive amount of whatever as far as they're concerned.
In traditional it's considered a benefic because of its stabilizing and temperate qualities. Of MODERATION. Ptolemy said "the ancients accepted two of the planets, Jupiter and Venus, together with the moon, as beneficent because of their tempered nature and because they abound in the hot and the moist, and Saturn and Mars as producing effects of the opposite nature, one because of his excessive cold and the other for his excessive dryness." Mars and Saturn were malefic because of their excessive nature.
Just pointing out a large gap in opinion. It's amazing how much astrology has changed.
