Jupiter / Guru
Jupiter is the teacher of the science of light, that is, astrology and astronomy. He is
the ruler of the Sun and the Moon and controls the movement of the planets.
Jupiter is a benefic planet, signifier of luck and fortune, and he rules religion,
philosophy, spirituality, wealth, and progeny. He is noble, buoyant, dignified, fruitful,
optimistic, jovial, and masculine. If favorable, this planet gives name, fame, success,
honor, wealth, progeny and good relationship with progeny, and it brings benefits to
whatever planets or house it is associated with.
The color of Jupiter is yellow. Thursday is his day, and north-east is his direction. He
is big, old looking, and has a pot belly. He is self-illuminating (this is said also in
Western astronomy). One of his names is Guru, which means “heavy’ (in weight)
and also “teacher”.
Sun, Mars, and the Moon are its friends. Mercury and Venus are its enemies. Rahu,
Ketu, and Saturn are neutral in friendship. Its signs of detriment are Gemini and
Virgo. In the Uttra Phalguni, Uttrakshad, Punarvasu, Purva Bhadrapad, and
Vishakha nakshatras it gives benefits.
Jupiter is very important for a female, because it determines her marriage and her
relationship with her husband.
Jupiter rules over the liver, thighs, circulation of blood in arteries, and fat in the
human organism. It rules over gold and bronze in metals, wheat and barley in
grains, yellow flowers, fruits of yellow color, onions, and garlic.
Jupiter influences people during the fifteenth, sixteenth, twenty-second, and fortieth
year of age.
Diseases connected with an afflicted or wrongly posited Jupiter are liver ailments,
jaundice, arthritis, swelling, and tuberculosis.
Our Opinion
Jupiter is a planet that governs the vital power of the body and brings luxuries, fame
and peaceful life. Jupiter is also considered the king of planets and as such, the ill
effects of other planets shun down automatically when Jupiter is powerful. We wish a
powerful Jupiter Planet for you.
