The short answer
Ohrmazd is the Zoroastrian name for Jupiter, and in Horospire's ancestral system it names the sixth generation - your great-great-great-grandparents. Your Jupiter sign describes how you grow, what gives you meaning, and what you believe is worth pursuing. Read generationally, it is the faith and worldview that distant generation set running through the line.

The planet
What does Jupiter govern?
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and meaning: your beliefs, your optimism, how you grow, and the wisdom that shapes what you think is worth doing. It is the chart's sense of the bigger picture.
The inheritance
What does Ohrmazd inherit from your great-great-great-grandparents?
As the sixth generation, Ohrmazd carries your great-great-great-grandparents. Jupiter's sign is where that generation's faith and philosophy still move through you - the family's sense of what life is for, its luck or its dogma, the story it told about meaning. It is inherited worldview, six generations deep.
How to read it
How do you read your Jupiter sign?
Read your Jupiter sign as an inheritance of belief. Ask which of your convictions about how life works you actually examined and which arrived as ancestral inheritance dressed as common sense - questioning them is how a handed-down faith becomes a chosen one.
Where does the name Ohrmazd come from?
Ohrmazd is the Middle Persian form of Ahura Mazda, the wise lord and supreme divinity of Zoroastrianism, traditionally identified with the planet Jupiter. The association of wisdom, benevolence, and expansive order maps onto Jupiter and onto the inherited philosophy of the deep ancestors. The mapping of the seven planets onto seven ancestral generations is Horospire's interpretive framework, rooted in the Zoroastrian Fravashi tradition, and offered as a reflective lens rather than proven science.
