Yes. Expansion is not always improvement. A teacher who will not stop talking is still talking.

Direct answer: yes. A loud Jupiter can inflate a life the way a loud guest inflates a dinner.
The slogan
Jupiter is sold as luck, blessings, the cosmic yes. Within Jyotish, Guru is expansion, dharma, teachers, meaning. Traditional notes praise it. They also know over-expansion: overconfidence, over-promising, a body or a belief that takes more room than the house can heat.
The nuance
Too strong is not a laboratory measurement. It is a reading of proportion. Jupiter without a working Saturn can become a sermon. Jupiter in a dusty house can still be a kindness. Evidence does not demonstrate that a 'strong' Guru prints fortune. It sketches a weather of more.
Jupiter expands. Your waistline is technically expansion too.
What to do with the glow
Ask what is actually larger: the life, or the story of the life. Then read the house Jupiter occupies. The series Jupiter through the houses is the longer walk. This page is the short one: luck is a marketing word. Meaning is a practice.

Thematic company
Readers exploring this theme may also find these interesting. Similar weather across traditions is not proof that one system explains another.

Jupiter Can Expand the Problem Too
Guru is traditionally benefic. Expansion itself is neutral. More of a thing is not the same as a better thing.
