What Jupiter brings

Guru (Brihaspati), Jupiter, is the teacher of the gods and the greatest natural benefic. It brings wisdom, dharma, children and good fortune.

What changes the result

  • Sign and dignity: Jupiter exalted or in its own sign gives the best version of this placement; debilitated or in an enemy sign, the weaker version.
  • House lordship: which houses Jupiter rules for your Lagna decides whose matters it carries into the 2nd house.
  • Aspects and conjunctions: Jupiter's aspect protects; Saturn, Mars or Rahu add pressure.
  • Dasha: the placement shows most strongly during Jupiter's own Mahadasha or Antardasha (16-year Mahadasha).
