The signification of Jupiter in Vedic astrology

Jupiter in astrology is the “Guru”, it takes us from ignorance to the light of wisdom. It represents knowledge, spirituality, religion, higher learning, research, philosophy, optimism, and a lot more.

Jupiter in Vedic Astrology is associated with children as well as is the “Putrakaraka”. Jupiter essentially is about ‘expansion’. It expands the area where it is placed in a horoscope.

For example, if it is placed in the 11th house of income and gains, it usually expands wealth and prosperity.

Jupiter is the karaka of affluence, generosity, righteousness, inherent goodness, and wisdom.

Jupiter in Vedic astrology is known to be a giver and is the most generous of all planets as it expands without expectations. Its placement in a chart defines the spiritual views, bent of mind, kind of faith and religion, and materialistic standing of a person.

A strong Jupiter in the horoscope is commonly found in the chart of priests, preachers, teachers, religious leaders, judges, and philosophers.

When well placed, Jupiter in the horoscope indicates success, prosperity, positive attitude, and spiritual inclination, a higher sense of justice and equality, and good relations with teachers.

Such people are usually well-wishers of the whole community. However, a too strong Jupiter can sometimes lead to an overly optimistic person, thus problems in life and spiritual stagnation.

When Jupiter is weakly placed in a horoscope, it makes the person choose the wrong direction in life. Such a person may not get the blessing of a guardian or his or her teacher may be dishonest or contemptuous to him.

People with weak Jupiter generally suffer from a lack of concentration, confidence, and faith. They have a pessimistic view of life and are too materialistic and spiritually blind.

People with the weak placement of Jupiter in the horoscope often face financial difficulties in life. Circumstances clog their mind to be unaware of spiritual calm.

Afflicted Jupiter may also suggest progeny difficulties. Also, it may lead to problems such as obesity, diabetes, and issues related to the liver, pancreas, feet, and hips.
