The concept of the work is astrological rather than astronomical (which is why Earth is not included)because earth is here, which would not be studying and interpreting the universe throughout his musical pieces. Also Pluto was not discovered until 1930.

Just another name for Aries, the Greek god of war. The Romans renamed him Mars. And they named a planet after him ... the same one the Greeks called Aries. It is also a composition by British composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934) best known for his suite of works called the Planets. One of the most popular works from that suite is "Mars the bringer of war".
In the original suite by Holst, there are seven movements: Mars, the Bringer of War; Venus, the Bringer of Peace; Mercury, the Winged Messenger; Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity; Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age; Uranus, the Magician; and Neptune, the Mystic. The movements are ordered in the planets' increasing distances from Earth. When Pluto was discovered in 1930, Holst did not write a movement for it. However, in 2000, Collin Matthews was hired to write a movement for Pluto. He named it "Pluto, the Renewer". Now that Pluto is no longer a planet, the suite is once again complete.

Do you mean Jupiter, an op in "The Planets", composed by Gustav Holtz?
Gustav Holst was inspired to write The Planets when he was introduced to the concept of astrology by Clifford Bax. Each suite was first scored as a piano duet, with the exception of Neptune, and then scored as a full piece for orchestra accompaniment.
