Jupiter, also known as Guru is considered to be one of the most benefic planets in astrology. It is the largest planet in the solar system, and is nearest in comparison with the Sun in regard to its size. It takes around 12 years to revolve around the Sun, which in other words also means that it remains in each zodiac sign for one year approximately, according to transit or Gochar. It is considered to be a teacher or a ‘Guru’ as the name suggests. Jupiter in any Birth Chart-Horoscope, if placed strong by sign placement and House, and if well aspected, makes the native truthful and honest, and provides him ‘Divine Grace’.

Basics

Jupiter is also known as ‘Brihaspati’. It rules over the two signs of the zodiac – Sagittarius and Pisces. It achieves Exaltation in the sign of the Moon, which is Cancer and its deep Exaltation point is at five degrees of Cancer. It gets debilitation in the sign of Saturn – Capricorn. Jupiter achieves directional strength in the Lagna or the 1st House. An Archer symbolizes Sagittarius, and therefore those natives who are ruled by an Elevated Jupiter in their charts will hit or achieve their targets more easily than other natives. Similarly, the Pisces being a Watery sign and the symbol being Fishes, Jupiter also represents expression or speech. 

Jupiter is the reason or cause for famous Yogas like ‘Gajakesari Yoga’ or a Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga like ‘Hamsa Yoga’ among many others.

It is a Male planet and is of ‘Sattva Guna’. Thus, those with a well placed Jupiter would be good, honest, religious, God fearing, and wise advisers having peaceful temperaments.

Jupiter denotes the North-East direction. Those who are acquainted with Vaastu, are aware that this is the most auspicious part of the Plot, which is known as ‘Eeshan’ where an image of the Lord one worships, is kept for daily worship.

Special Aspects of Jupiter

All the planets have been allotted a common ‘drishti’, which is known as aspect. Aspect means to influence another planet, House or zodiac sign. Normally, every planet has been given the 7th House power of aspect, which means that it can aspect the planet seated in the 7th House and sign from its own placement. But Jupiter has been given special powers of the 5th and 9th House aspect apart from the 7th House. Therefore, if Jupiter is well placed, suppose in the 5th House, then it will aspect the 9th House as well as the Lagna or 1st House, making a complete Trikona aspect, plus its aspect to the 11th House of gains. This can be considered as a very fortunate Horoscope indeed from all counts, material as well as spiritual.

Nakshatras or Constellations owned by Jupiter

The Constellations owned by Jupiter are, Punarvasu, Visakha and Purva Bhadra. If Jupiter is the Lord of a Benefic House in a Horoscope, and if three or more planets are placed in the constellations owned by Jupiter, it would then create a very good impact on the positivity of the Horoscope and the destiny of the native.

Astrological and mythological associations

In mythology, Brihaspati is the son of Angirasa (Anga- physical body; rasa – the fluid in the body). There is a continuous secretion and flow of fluid in the body, in sorrow or joy, fear or anger, hope or disappointments. The food intake is the source of the fluid (Rasa), and this exercises influence over the body and mind (Chittavriiti), which is why Brihaspati also concerns our food, life and living. It gives power to sustain, thus connecting to the liver in the body that sustains life.

Brihaspati is also addressed as Bachaspati or master of speech, or Lord of language, eloquence and wisdom. Here ‘Bach’ represents ‘Bak’ or commonly known as ‘Vak’ or speech, and ‘Pati’ means Master. Like water travels freely in the sign of Pisces owned by Jupiter, Birhaspati represents expressions.

It is characterized as ‘Dev Guru’ or the one who gives guidance to the Devtas – Gods. Hence, those with positive influence of Jupiter are also religious in their temperaments. 

Jupiter signifies

Being the Lord of the Natural ‘Bhagyasthana’ in the Kala Purusha Kundli, Jupiter is a significator of good fortune.
The 9th House represents long journeys, and so does Jupiter.
The 9th House represents ‘Dharma’ and Jupiter represents righteousness or justice. It represents higher consciousness.
Jupiter is the karaka for gold, wealth or finance.
In a Horoscope of a female, it is additionally the karaka for the husband.
Jupiter is karaka for child.
When we make Prashna or Horary charts the above karakas help in determining a positive answer easily if they appear in the ruling planets.

Body and Health related Significations

Growth and accumulation is the forte of Jupiter. It rules over different body parts like the liver, tumours, malignancy, organs of hearing, lower abdomen, hips, circulation of blood, blood pressure, arteries, and fat in the body. This is the reason why those natives having influence of Jupiter on their Lagnas tend to develop fat or become bulky in their middle ages. The 9th House in the natural Horoscope of Kala Purusha Kundli appears in Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter. It represents the portion of legs above the knees. Hence, this part of the legs too is covered as territory of Jupiter along with the lower portion of the feet, which represents the last part of the body downwards, just as Pisces, ruled by Jupiter is the last sign of the zodiac. Elephantitis in legs is governed by Jupiter. Jaundice too is ruled by it as Jupiter rules over the  liver as mentioned above.

Other matters represented by Jupiter

Jupiter represents temples, courts, colleges and schools, big palatial buildings, and all places where religious discourses are held.  Construction of schools, colleges, universities, charitable institutions, hospitals, sanatoriums, banks, temples, church, mosque will all come in the domain of Jupiter.
Logic is perfectly represented in astrological inferences. The 9th House Sagittarius also signifies higher education. Therefore, Jupiter represents college and education.
The 9th House denotes long travel and all matters related to travelling to a distant place.
The 9th House represents father in Hindu Astrology, and father is also known as the first Guru; hence, ones ‘Guru’ or ‘Preceptor’ are represented by Jupiter.
The 9th House represents religion and the 12th House Pisces represents discourse and philanthropic work. Jupiter is thus connected to discourses or Sermons as well.
The 12th House also represents investments on long term basis, so one has to connect this logic with Jupiter. The 12th House deals with expenditures, capital investments, outflow of finances, foreign exchange, the Reserve Bank, Forex, rise in Shares and Stocks, are all governed by Jupiter.
Since the 12th zodiac sign, Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, all aspects of the 12th House, like foreign travels, hospitalizations, the other world, Moksha or Salvation is also ruled by Jupiter.
Jupiter is the largest planet and has traits of expansion, therefore whatever it connects with, would be big, vast or enormous.
Since Jupiter is large or expressive – becoming famous, gaining respect in society, promotions, progress is all governed by Jupiter.

Professions connected with Jupiter

Any profession connected to religion, preaching, priestly professions come under domain of Jupiter. Since the zone of knowledge is also symbolized by Jupiter, any profession connected to educational institutions too come under the sphere of Jupiter. Since Jupiter is connected to ‘Dharma’ or righteousness being a ‘Dev Guru’ or teacher, all professions connected to law, courts of law, comes under its province. Since Jupiter is karaka of children, all professions connected to child rearing and nurturing like mother-toddler play schools etc, come under the realm of Jupiter. So does Navy, foreign travel related business, since the 9th House of travels is ruled by Jupiter as owner of Sagittarius the 9th zodiac sign. Since Jupiter rules over fat, all professions connected to products which increase fat in the body, like trade in milk, ghee, sweetmeats, almonds, cashew nuts, and peanuts, etc. Jupiter being Lord of the 12th House and Pisces sign in natural Horoscope, all professions connected to hospitals, prisons, publicity, foreign trade, ship building, offshore drilling, development, etc. come under Jupiter’s domain.
To summarize, all professions connected to legal affairs, Brahmins, teaching, scriptures, lawyers, advocates, interest, rent, banking and finance, ministers, administrators, bankers, revenue department, treasury, economics, gold, turmeric, rubber, metals, springs, jewelry, shipping business, and foreign affairs are under Jupiter’s domain.

To Conclude

There are other technical matters which may transform the effects of Jupiter that may undergo a change due to aspects and conjunctions from other planets. Jupiter in mundane astrology too is a subject matter of importance. But these are issues of study, to be dealt separately.
In individual horoscopes, a strong Jupiter is synonymous to a strong promise and assurance of divine interventions and providential help available to a native in times of stress and strife in his life, provided all other planetary positions are congenial. It is also an indicator of your past ‘Purva Poonya’ or results of past good actions now bearing fruit in this birth.
Jupiter is considered as one of the most benefic planets in astrology. It is the largest planet in the solar system, and comes nearest in comparison with the Sun in regard to its size. Ganesha throws light on how Jupiter plays a significant role in matters like body and health, choosing a profession and religious inclination.

1)      Astrology embraces all facets of life including higher education leading to career. Profession and business of a native and the line one is to adopt is indicated broadly by the Birth Chart – Nakshtra under which one is born. Every rising sign and Nakshtra has its own characteristics and is important factors in themselves in determining the profession and business or service of the native. Exalted Sun in the Horoscope can make the native a VIP either in Government service or in own business – of courses depending on the position of other planets.

2)      While interpreting a birth Chart, First look at the Lagna and Lord of Lagna. Both these things and placement of the Lagna Lord would tell something about the native his characteristics and professional attitude. Then, have a look at the 10th Lord and 10th house. The position of 10th Lord – its placement in own sign, in exaltation signs its association, who is aspecting or who is having conjunction ultimately determine the career of the native. Lagna and Lagna Lord, 10th house and 10th Lord and position of planets in Navama do help in concluding about he nature of business one is to adopt. If this fall in moveable sings, the native is bound to have many changes in life professionally or some change is inevitable after every 7 years.

3)      The author has done well in tracing the origin of the divine-science – astrology to Vedas. Actually, astrology is the most ancient science and efforts by persons like Mr. V.Raghuraman would definitely help the Astrology to keep its head high even in the present times.

4)      The book id divided into six main chapters and important among them are chapters dealing with delineation of horoscope with regards to business and professional prospects and interpretation of charts. Chapters on linking Vedas to Astrology and transit of planets add to the over-all utility of the book.

5)      The author has done well in discussing results of Saturn when in association with other planets. Saturn is the planet of destiny and a friend for some and fee for others. Saturn is a Yuga-Karka planet for certain person but can create havoc for others. Thus the efforts made by the author are eye-opener specially in determining the nature of profession/business/career.

6)      To sum up the book would be useful specially for those Astrologers who want to known tips fro determining the line of career for their clients. The book adds to the literature specially only on career.

Career astrology is judged as per our horoscope cast using ancient vedic astrology techniques. Career is followed a lot in todays life and everyone wants to know about their career here astrology steps in and helps you in deciding your career paths also ups and downs in your career progress. As per vedic astrology when it comes to career two very important things to be seen in a horoscope are your lagna(lagnesh), your 10th house. When we see the 10th house we see the lord of the 10th house its placement different aspects on the lord of the 10th house , the aspects on the 10th house itself,the sign falling in the 10th house planets placed in your 10th house.

See their respective strengths in your D9 navansh chart of your horoscope and also your D10 chart. Once you have accessed all these chart then you start your prediction on how the respective persons career going to be. By this method on placements of different planets you can judge the persons inclination towards a particular field , as its been also seen that aspects transits play a huge role . different planets give you different results when placed in the 10th house .  for example sun sitting in the 10th house make it very strong in that house we call it digbali meaning it has attained stregth. People with this kind will try to attain good position ,it wont be very easy for them to work under some one as they will like to be incharge in a high position and  things under their control. Mars can make you go into the business of property, jupiter aspecting your 10th house can make you go into management related jobs.

So we have seen that planets ruling, controlling, aspecting the 10th house or its lord play an important role . For current situation on career we also take into account the current transit pattern of the planets for more accuracy and to the moment prediction. Also you need to take into consideration the lagna as lagna is responsible for over growth of a person and his or her basic qualities are derived from it. You also need to see the dasha running at present, the sub dasha as a benefic dasha running and getting connected to your 10th house or your 10th house lord will always give your career a boost. As I have seen on so many occasions that the dasha or subdasha when not getting connected to the 10th house will give you not good results as compared to when they all get connected to your 10th house or its lord.

It is to be clearly understood that  A person’s life is carried on because of his KARMA (Actions of past janma) only and GOD has nothing to do on the same except that HE ensures that the person undergoes the effects of his own deeds.

Neither GOD can change the Karma nor any prayers to GOD. Only the  pariharams , to be done properly will result in changes to his Karma. Death and birth is usual phenomena and it will go on and on. Everyone born will die one day. It is only some few years, person will dominate/rule the world, but eventually he/she will be buried/burnt etc. etc., . There is no escape from this cycle.

It is very rarely that a person with clear Lagna will understand this drama and will think in terms getting salvation. Though this number may be small, but it is the ultimate for everyone. He is one who will do real prayers. I have seen many people thinking that they are doing prayers will be wearing different kind of dresses for the outside world to know that he is a sage like. But  none of the scripts ever say such things nor there is any need to do dressing and all. GOD does not care about your beauty/dress etc., but wants only full surrender to HIM.

Some of the people ask even though I have surrendered to GOD, I am not getting the best from HIM. They think by just physically falling on the feet of LORD, they claim to have surrendered. GOD cannot be fooled and HE watches your mind/actions and thinking only. Real Surrender to HIM mean that your entire thinking and actions should be as per GOD’s wish and law. The person should be able to see everything and everywhere the presence of GOD and his actions. He will not and never aspire anything for him or for his family. Whatever happens to him or his family, the person will say it is the grace of GOD and will be very happy to see that GOD’s actions are always for GOOD.

If one carefully watches the life style of LORD RAMA, we can see that GOD ensures always that no one’s karma is changed or affected. HE manages to sail through ensuring every one’s karma is not disturbed. It is also clear from RAMAYANA, that the actions of RAMA was very clear and he was aware of what he was doing and its ultimate result. LORD obeyed father’s words and said that HE will go away from the city to forest, as HIS father promised Bharata, the kingdom.  Here is the beauty of KARMA, that LORD RAMA knows that a position meant for him by LAW can never be snatched by anyone, as KARMA has to be followed.

This is classic example of KARMA effects. This kind of future visualisation is possible , only if a person has such powerful Lagna like lord RAMA.

Some of the government officials usually ask whether they will get the promotion due to them or will it go to his Juniors.Well, here the person should understand however beneficial the planetary position may be, when the other person’s chart is more powerful, then it will result the other way. Here is where person should think like LORD RAMA and carry on as usual. But one thing can be guaranteed to such people who have been superseded by the superiors is that, such unfortunate people will get the best reward from GOD, later.  This happens not because of persons efficiency or his beauty or intelligence, but because of KARMA.

When so many officials fight for higher positions and trying to get to the top of everyone, they never think how are their political rulers?. Do they ever have such experience in working ?, do they have served in top posts ? ever or do they have any experience in managing finance/personnel etc..  This top man having studied so much from best schools in the world to colleges ,universities and presenting many research papers , working for decades in management and various places with several people.

He comes with such outstanding experience, but made to serve under the political superiors of no education to some education, no experience in administration, may not be knowing the meaning of geography of his own country, is made to rule the so called top most person. Though it looks so pathetic , reality is that it is the KARMA which ultimately rules the universe.

NO one or anyone in the world is unable to change this scenario. Why?. Once again a person with calm thinking will clearly understand that it is the KARMA which overtakes everything. Though scientific community and educational bosses have created so many books, syllabus, tough calculations being thrust into the young people mind, with the sole aim of getting the best knowledge person. But in practice all this educations have terrible limitations and in fact works in the negative. A person with best education is aspiring for good position and status in life. But his Karma does not allow him to do so. Hence, with much frustration, he turns to be antisocial element, as his aspirations are not satisfied. Once again it is not eh education or his intelligence which rules the world, but it is his KARMA only.

The LAGNA has to be assessed  from all these angles. Just because a person is educated and  intelligent does not mean that he will automatically get all the best in the world. I find some astrologers have the habit of telling favourably for some people from high society. This is not the right method.

One of the top cops asked me about his kid, immediately after birth. As he was the top COP, I could not openly say about the KARMA of the child. Still my Athma never permitted saying lies. But I had to manage the situation  and said that please ensure that the child is okay, as chart shows many negative features. It is after about 5 years, he again asked what to do, as his child was spastic. It is the KARMA which rules over everything. Is there a way that spastic child can ever be recovered?. NO it is not possible. The child does not know anything what he/shes doing, but it is greatest burden for parents. Every minute/everyday they will have to curse themselves. The more the child lives, the more parents will suffer. This is the reality.

Here the only way problems can be solved is to do proper pariharams. Understand their previous Janma deeds and try to undo the same. In this way, it can be ensured that the same SINS do not continue for the next generation.

Many people looking at an astrologer,come only for the purpose of getting solution to their problems. They do not understand that planets in their horoscope, indicate many things and its about their entire life.  

When a Lagna is studied, it is a must to know about characteristics of each and every planet acting on that person. For e-g, I get hundreds of horoscope with Lagna and Kethu or Rahu in perfect affliction. Ther has been confusion about affliction. Let me clarify that if the Lagna and another planet except SUN, are in the same degrees then it is to be read as Lagna afflicted. If Lagna and SUN are posited in the same Degree, it is be read as combust. 

The quantum of affliction and combustion will vary depending on the gap between them, and therefore the results on the person. The results of afflicted lagna will be based on nature of planet afflicting the lagna. For e-g, if Kethu is afflicting the lagna, then the person will have different kind of thinking in his mind and work.  He/she has to face many hurdles and in spite of doing correctly as per their assessment, the same work may create problems for them.

If one look at many horoscopes, they will find that Lagna is afflicted /combust or affected inone way or the other. The reason for this is ,when we look at the way we live in this world, everyone is looking up on others for something or the other.  For each and every work, some others have to involve for completing the work. For e-g, when you go to bank, people in the bank alone have to work for you. Similarly when you go to office, market ,shopping etc..everyone has to depend on somebody else for your work.

As human life has been going on like this, every Lagna will have some affliction or the other. But the afflictions should not be in such a way that, it affects him in many ways. What happens when Lagna is afflicted (say) more than 80%. Such people will not be living for themselves and will depend on others only. For each and everything, they will have to ask others for their existance. These people would have lived the worst way of living in the past generations. Meaning that harassing/teasing others for years, make others to be their slaves etc.. in their past generations.

Another common mistakes done by humans are always thinking high about ourselves and thinking bad about others. Try to become rich faster than others. Try to show off that they are top class society. Always doing something/cheating others to get quick bucks etc., etc.. In this process spoil many people/families and may be causing death to others.

The above illustrations are only samples and there are so many tricks/tactics people adopt to overcome their ambitions. Everyone must remeber that GOD is always watching and LORD is with us only. In fact,  ALMIGHTY is a witness to all our actions. Hence, when you do something worng as per your consciousness, wait for the punishment from HIM. HE punishes and mostly punishes very badly. It cannot be easily explained as to how LORD gives punishment for SINS committed. GOD is so CRUEL on many occasions.

When we watch super earth quakes, super tsunamis, flooding, super storms and some of the cruel accidents, GOD is very much visible there. Though Black clouds looks nice  and when it rains heavily, it is great pleasure to watch, but when the same exceeds limits, it gets worsened and hundreds are mercilessly killed.

There are many examples of GODs cruelty to humans, but it happens to people who are indulging in many wrong deeds as explained above.  I am bringing all these facts because Planets positioning in a chart are based on his deeds only. In the chart the first and foremost and the essence is Lagna. Many and almost all the visitors ask me as to when I do work honestly and lead a simple life, why should I get affected?. This is what is called ignorance of ATHMA Vision.

I will explain in detail in my next article.
