Jupiter’s effects in Astrological Houses - III

by Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)
Jupiter in the Seventh House

If Jupiter is in the seventh house, the native will be highly educated and also worried. He will have lot of financial gains and his wife will be learned, chaste and devoted to her husband. If the lord of the 7th is weak or is associated with Rahu, Ketu, Saturn or Mars or is aspected by any of these malefics, the native will have illicit relations with women other than his wife. If Jupiter is associated with benefics, is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, the native will have and be attached to one wife only and he will gain wealth through his wife. He will be happy and earn great respect in his 34th year.

The logical reasons -Jupiter is a natural benefic and according to above Sutras he gives very beneficial results in the matter of education, finances and marital relations. The native becomes immoral if the lord of the seventh is weak and associated with or aspected by malefics. The same results may be expected if Jupiter- is associated with or aspected by any of the malefics mentioned. Still better results will be realised if Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. Here a doubt may arise whether Jupiter in his sign of exaltation can be capable of giving good results because in such a position with Capricorn as the ascendant, he will be lord of two bad houses, the 3rd and the 12th houses. This doubt has been cleared by Kalidasa’s Uttara Kalamrita that Jupiter when he owns the 3rd and 12th houses in a nativity will be productive of good to the person concerned. The same applies when he holds the ownership of the 8th house or when he occupies the 8th house. When Jupiter is in own sign Sagittarius in the 7th, the ascendant will be Gemini and he will be in the 7th, as lord of the 7th and 10 houses. When Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Virgo and he will be in the 7,th, as lord of the 4th and 7th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. When in the 7th house, Jupiter will be in Kendra to the ascendant, his disposition in Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer, will also give rise to Hamsa yoga.

Jupiter in the Eighth House

If Jupiter is in the 8th house, the native will be short lived, and indulge in undesirable activities. If Jupiter is associated with a malefic, the native will be sinful. If the lord of 8th is associated with a benefic and is posited in the 8th the native will be long lived. If the lord of 8th is weak, he will be short lived. If the lord of 8th is associated with a malefic the native will have illicit relations with widows after his 17th year. If Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation the native will be long lived, free from diseases a saintly person, learned and well Versed in vedas and Shastras.
The logical reasons – If the most benefic planet Jupiter goes to the worst place it is not good. So it should be noted that Jupiter in his ordinary position is not considered to give good results in the 8th house. If associated with a malefic Jupiter and lord of the 8th give still worse results in regard to longevity and morals of the native. It is only when he is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, Jupiter gives beneficial results in the 8th house. We thought that Jupiter being a benefic and Dhana-Karaka will give wealth to the native if the 2nd house falls in Sagittarius or Pisces because then Jupiter would be making the Dhana bhava very powerful by aspecting it - as whichever bhava is aspected or occupied by its lord or by any of the benefics, the prosperity of that bhava is assured. The 8th house is an evil house (dusthana). If Jupiter as a lord of auspicious houses is in the 8th, the significations of these houses will be adversely affected.

Jupiter in the Ninth House

The native will be devout and philosophical and will perform religious and charitable deeds, will take interest in meditation and will be pious and wealthy. He will perform religious ceremonies in his 35th year. He will be learned, handsome, a minister of the king or commander of the army and a recognised leader. His father will be long lived, he will be righteous and will receive respect and honour in many ways. He will give protection to many.

The logical reasons - Beneficial results have been attributed to Jupiter in the ninth house – Bhagya Sthana -because as a natural benefic he improves all the good significations of this auspicious house. Good looks are because of the aspect on lagna or tanu Bhava. Still better results would be experienced if Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. If Jupiter is in one of his own signs, by being lord of 9th in the 9th, he will give rise to a powerful Rajayoga giving name, fame and wealth to the native. If Jupiter is in his sign of exaltation (Cancer), the ascendant will be Scorpio and Jupiter will be in the ninth house as lord of 2nd and 5th, giving rise to an extremely powerful yoga for prosperity and fame.

Jupiter in the Tenth House

The native will be religious minded and will perform righteous deeds, study scriptures, will be very able, will have widespread reputation and will be respected by the masses. If the lord of the 10th is strong, the native will perform high class religious sacrifices. If the lord of the 10th is associated with a malefic or is in the house of a malefic, there will be obstacles in his professional career and the native will indulge in evil deeds and will suffer financially.

The logical reasons -The placement of benefic Jupiter is very beneficial for the improvement of the significations of the 10th house. If Jupiter is in the 10th house in his sign Sagittarius, Pisces will be the ascendant and Jupiter will be in the 10th as lord of the ascendant and the 10th house. If Jupiter is in Pisces, Gemini will be the ascendant and Jupiter will be in the 10th as lord of the 7th and 10th houses. For Virgo Ascendant Jupiter will be in the 10th as lord of the 4th and the 7th houses. For Sagittarius ascendant Jupiter will be in 10th as lord of the ascendant and the 4th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. Jupiter will be a good wealth giver even when he is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation) in the 10th in spite of being lord of 3rd and 6th houses, the ascendant being Libra. Jupiter in spite of being lord of the 3rd and the 6th for this ascendant gives yoga effects. The disposition of Jupiter in the tenth house in his signs Sagittarius and Pisces gives rise to a powerful Rajayoga.

Jupiter in the Eleventh House

If Jupiter is in the eleventh house, the native will be learned, wealthy and will have lot of financial gains. In his 32nd year he will possess horses to ride on (this means he will acquire conveyances) and will have widespread reputation. If he is associated with benefics and malefics he will possess elephants and will have pronounced good luck. If Jupiter is associated with Moon, the native will have effortless financial gains.

The logical reasons – Most planets give good results in the 11th house. Jupiter here causes “Dina dina Pravardhamana Yoga” meaning the native will keep gaining and prospering day by day. Jupiter will be of immense good to the native according to above Sutras if he is in the eleventh- the Labha Sthana. If Jupiter is associated with benefics and malefics, the native will acquire elephants (conveyances) and enjoy increased prosperity. Jupiter is the greatest benefic amongst the planets. Another benefic in conjunction with him will therefore become a formidable beneficial combination. The 11th is an upachaya house in which even malefics produce good results. When Jupiter is in Sagittarius, Aquarius will be the ascendant and he will be in the 11th as lord of 2nd and 11th. When he is in Cancer, (his sign of exaltation) Virgo will be the ascendant and he will be in the llth exalted as lord of the 4th and 7th houses. These are very powerful

Jupiter in Twelfth House

The native will be poor, he will be interested in studies, will have few children, will be proficient in mathematics but will be of loose character. If Jupiter is associated with a benefic or is in his own sign or sign of exaltation, the native will go to heaven after his death. If Jupiter is associated with a malefic the native will go to hell after his death. He will spend money on religious causes and will have sexual contacts with Brahmin and pregnant women.

The logical reasons -The twelfth house is an evil house and Jupiter though a satwick planet loses all his good significations and qualities when he is posited in that house. By being in the 12th house, the significations of the good houses owned by Jupiter are also adversely affected. The 6th and 8th and 12th houses have been called evil houses but if the lord of these houses are posited in any of these houses, Vipareeta Raja yoga is caused conferring name, fame and wealth on the native. back...

Jupiter’s effects in Astrological Houses - II

by Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Jupiter in the Third House

If Jupiter is in third house, the native will be very miser and there will be a good number of brothers. The native will be very clever and determined. He will forsake his relations and will have travels in his 38th year. If the lord of the 3rd is strong the brothers will be longlived. If the lord of the 3rd is associated with a malefic there will be loss of brothers and the native will be impatient by nature, an idiot and poor.

The logical reasons -The effects given above are quite logical and relevant to the significations of the 3rd house. Jupiter as a natural benefic gives good results unless he is afflicted. Jupiter from the 3rd aspects the seventh, ninth and eleventh houses, thus giving a happy married life to the native and also financial gains.

Jupiter in the Fourth House

If Jupiter is in the 4th house, the native will be happy, wise, of good conduct and highly intelligent. He will also be a land-lord and will have abundance of milk. If the lord. of the 4th house is strong 01. is associated with Venus or Moon or is in benefic vargas the native will have conveyances pulled by human beings. He will own many lands, horses and a spacious house. If Jupiter is aspected by or associated with a malefic, the native will be without any land or conveyance, he will have to live in other people’s houses and will suffer loss of mother and have bitterness with relations.

The logical reasons -The effects given are very logical and relevant to the significations of the 4th house. Jupiter will give still better results if he is in his own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) or in his sign of exaltation (Cancer). When he is in Sagittarius, the ascendant will be Virgo and Jupiter will be in 4th as lord of 4th and 7th. If Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Sagittarius. Jupiter will be in 4th as lord of ascendant and the 4th. If Jupiter is in Cancer, the ascendant will be Aries, he will be lord of the 9th exalted in the 4th. The association of Jupiter with Moon in the 4th, will give rise to a very beneficial yoga known as Gajakesari yoga the effects of which are :-
”Many relations, polite and generous, builder of villages and towns or magistrate over them, will have a lasting reputation even long after death.” Jupiter in the 4th will be in kendra to ascendant. His disposition in Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer will give rise to Hamsa yoga.

Jupiter in the Fifth House

If Jupiter is in the fifth house, the native will be highly intelligent, will have broad eyes, will be a good conversationalist, full of glory, will feed others, love family and in his 18th year become commander of the army by the favour of the king. He will also have a good number of children who will be prosperous. If the lord of the 5th is strong and at the same time in the house of a malefic or his enemy or he is in his sign of debilitation, there will be loss of children or the native will have only one issue. He will be rich but will suffer loss of wealth on account of penalties imposed by the king (Government). If Jupiter is associated with Rahu or Ketu, the native will suffer loss of his children on account of the wrath of Serpent God but this will not happen if Jupiter is aspected by a benefic.
The logical reasons - Effects given are logical and relevant to the significations of Jupiter and the fifth house. It is said that in his 18th year, the native will obtain the position of a commander in the army by the favour of the king. This may be taken to mean that the native will be appointed to a respectable governmental post early in his life.

A few bad effects will be there as Jupiter being the Karaka of the 5th house causes Karako Bhava nasya. Bad effects will not be there if there is aspect of a benefic on Jupiter. If Jupiter is in his own sign Sagittarious the ascendant will be Leo and he will be lord of 5th in 5th (there will be very little evil effect of his being lord of 8th also). If Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Scorpio and he will be in the 5th as lord of 2nd and 5th. If Jupiter is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Pisces, and he will be in 5th as exalted lord of the ascendant and the 10th. These are very powerful and beneficial dispositions and will greatly improve the good effects of Jupiter in the fifth house.

Jupiter in the Sixth House

The native will destroy his enemies, there will be growth of the members of his family, he will have grand-children and marks of wounds on the body. If Jupiter is in conjunction with a benefic the native will be free from diseases. If he is associated with a malefic or is in the house of malefic, the native will suffer form rheumatism or diseases due to cold. If Jupiter is in the sign of Saturn (Capricorn or Aquarius) in association with Rahu or Ketu the native will suffer from diseases of the worst type.

The logical reasons – As 6th is the house of ones enemies, Jupiter will help one destroy them. As a natural benefic will give good effects in regard to the significations of the sixth house unless he is afflicted. This sixth house is 5th from the 2nd which is ones house of family hence a large family. The sixth house is an evil house (dusthana) and if Jupiter is there as a lord of an auspicious house, the significations of that house will be adversely affected. cont... back..

Jupiter’s effects in Astrological Houses - I

by Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Of the nine planets, Jupiter is undoubtedly the most benefic planet. Jupiter is the Devaguru or the Guru of the Gods. A well placed Jupiter gives excellent luck, good spiritual inclinations, education and knowledge of the scriptures, deep rooted culture and ethics and many more. The following are the effects of Jpiter placed in the twelve houses from the ascendant.

Jupiter in the First House

If Jupiter is in his own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) in the first house (ascendant) the native will be a good speaker and well-versed in Shastras. He will have full knowledge of three Vedas good number of children and will be happy, long lived and learned. If Jupiter is in his sign of exaltation (Cancer) all the above results will be fully realised and in his 16th year the native will enjoy the effects of Maharaja yoga so caused by Jupiter. If Jupiter is in the house of his enemy, or in the house of a malefic, or is associated with a malefic or in his sign of debilitation (Capricorn) the native will indulge in sinful deeds, he will have an unstable mind and a medium span of life. He will be childless, ungrateful, full of false vanity, will forsake his near relations and well wishers, likes travels, will be inimical towards others and be miserable.

The logical reasons -Jupiter is the greatest benefic amongst all the planets. The first house in the horoscope is the most ideal position for Jupiter. He gets directional strength in this house and casts benefic aspects on the 5th house (signifying children, intellect etc), the 7th house (signifying wife, marriage, married life etc.) and the 9th house (signifying religious mindedness, bhagya, prosperity, father etc). If Jupiter is in the first house in a horoscope, it indicates that the native is blessed with the grace of God. According to Jatakadesamarga, when Jupiter possessed of exceeding strength with clear bright rays, occupies the lagna, the child born should be declared to be free from all afflictions. This means that Jupiter posited in a kendra position to the Moon wards off all evils (that would otherwise befall on a child) caused by all the planets, just as a lion, though single, is able to kill thousands of elephants. Jatakaa Parijata says:- If a powerful Jupiter in his full rays is posited in a kendra (1,4,7,10), he alone wards off all aristhas just as a sincere prayer to God Mahadev destroys all sins of the devotee.

Thus all the good results will definitely be realised if Jupiter is not in any way afflicted. If afflicted, the native will have to face a few negative effects.
If Jupiter is in Sagittarius in the ascendant, he will be there as lord of the 4th and the ascendant. If Jupiter is in Pisces, he will be there as lord of the ascendant and the 10th house. If Jupiter is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Cancer and he will be there as lord of the ninth. These are very beneficial dispositions for any horoscope. The disposition of Jupiter in Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer in the ascendant (Lagna-Kendra) also gives rise to Hamsa yoga (a Panch Mahapurusha Yoga), the effects of which are:

”The native’s legs will have the markings of a conch, lotus, fish and ankusa. He will possess a handsome body; he will be liked by others; he will be righteous in disposition and pure in mind.”

Jupiter in the Second House

If Jupiter is in the second house the native will be rich and intelligent. What he foretells will come true. In his 16th year he will enjoy financial gains and agricultural prosperity. He will also be very powerful. If Jupiter is in his own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) or in his sign of exaltation, the native will be very prosperous and wealthy. If Jupiter is associates with a malefic there will be obstacles in educational pursuits and the native will be a thief, liar and will have vulgar speech.

If Jupiter is in his sign of debilitation and associated with a malefic, the native will be a drunkard and immoral. He will be a destroyer of his family and will have relations with other people’s wives. He will also be childless.

The logical reasons -The second house is native’s Dhana bhava. Jupiter in the second will give the native financial prosperity early in his life. According to the author second house also deals with education and Jupiter associated with malefics will cause obstacles in the educational sphere. The second house also signifies speech and family. Jupiter associated with malefics will make the native immoral in every respect. Jupiter is a significator for children. If he is afflicted or is in his sign of debilitation, there will be no issues. If Jupiter is in Sagittarius the ascendant will be Scorpio and Jupiter will be in the 2nd house as lord of the 2nd and 5th houses. If Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Aquarius and Jupiter will be in the 2nd as lord of the 2nd and 11th houses. If Jupiter is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Gemini and he will be in the 2nd as lord of the 7th and 10th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. For Virgo ascendant also Jupiter will be very beneficial in the 2nd house. cont...

An insight into Sade-Sati

by Dr. Shanker Adawal(Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)
It is known to all that Saturn has a major role to play in the life of all individuals, nations and countries. Be that as it may, it may not be possible to say all about the friend and foe-Saturn but it must be said that Saturn controls one sixth of population as it owns two signs in the Zodiac and if its aspects are taken into consideration it would control 5/12th of the population as Saturn has major three aspects i.e. 3rd, 7th and 10th.

Though known to all, it is re-itered that Sade-Sati is the period of Saturn while transiting 12th house, 1st house and 2nd house from the house in which the Moon is placed in the birth chart i.e. Janama Kundli. Actually there has been difference of opinion amongst the astrologers. Most of the astrologers give predictions from the transit of the Saturn with reference to Natal Moon. However some of the astrologers say that actual Sade-Sati starts from 330.01 degree from the degree in which the Moon was located at the time of birth and extends to 60.00 degrees from the degree in which the Moon was in 11th degree of Ashwini at the time of birth, add – 330.01 degrees of the orb and we get 341.01 degrees and we get 71 degrees of the orb. Perhaps this difference of opinion leads to the different effects of Sade-Sati and in some cases it had been seen that bad effects are felt even after the period of Sade-Sati is over i.e. when the Saturn has crossed the 2nd house. Of course, it may be true that bad effects may be for some other reason.

Effects of Saturn differ from house to house and from Dhayia to Dhayia. When Saturn transit the first 30 degrees of Sade-Sati, it is said to be transiting the head, brain and eyes. In this period the native is likely to suffer from various fears and troubles. Even if a person is born in rich and royal family, sufferings cannot be ruled out and he will have to confront a lot of problems. In the first cycle i.e. Saturn transiting 12th house for 2nd a half years, evil effects will be felt by the parents and near relations of the native. Taking into consideration aspects of Saturn, it will also affect the traits the traits of 2nd house, 6th house and 9th house. The health of grand mother may be effected and resulting in death in most of the cases. This period of Saturn is bound to put extra burden on the nerves, strain his nerves and cause unwanted extra expenditure. In some cases, it may necessitate native to have spectacles. However, no injury to the eye may result unless Saturn is heavily afflicted by Mars. The financial position may become little adverse (aspect of the Saturn on 2nd house of income and profit). Those of the natives passing in the last phase of their life i.e. beyond 60 years may get to spiritualism, sanyas i.e. detachment from the family and wordly affairs. Briefly, this period of Saturn becomes responsible for set-backs and obstacles in all fields including profession.

The 2nd cycle of Saturn's Sade-Sati i.e. after First house, next 30 degrees gives the native various kinds or worries and fear of death. Increase in enemies and some of them for nothing is indicated. Those in service may face wrath of Superiors. This period will affect in-domestic and professional activities. In addition, Saturn will affect 3rd house, 7th house and 10th house i.e. characteristics of these houses shall also be under the influence of this Sade-Sati. Journeys to distant places, separation from relations like wife, brother, sister etc. is indicated. In some cases, this period also causes imprisonment. Though some astrologers predict death of wife (spouse) but this would depend on other factors, force of other planets and Dasha the native is running. In general, miseries, loss of wealth, fatigue and general debility, loss of friends, obstructions and delay in undertakings, failures would be the result of this period of Sade-Sati. To add to the misfortunes, increased expenditure is also indicated.

Now about the 3rd cycle of Saturn – last Dhayia of Sade-Sati. This period is said to pass through the legs of the natives. Mind of the native would become full of confusion and complications. The native has to run here and there for getting a solution to the problems. Unexpected reversals in profession and trade may also take place. This period would also affect 4th house, 8th house and 11th house. Apart from health problem, problems of the children, the native may face death like period or may even die in view of the involvement of 8th house unless 8th house is improved by other planetary forces. In general, this period becomes responsible for loss of health and happiness, loss of position, financial stress, loss of comforts, accidents, deception through wicked persons. Loss of children is also indicated.

The above malefic influences of Sade-Sati may not happen at all. Do not be afraid of 'Sade-Sati'. Actually, for some even Sade-Sati proves beneficial. Late Shri Morarji Desai became Prime Minister of India in Sade-Sati. From the above discussion, it is clear that 4th, 10th and 11th houses stand for prosperity – the native gets landed property, conveyances, service, business prosperity. In the following circumstances, the dreadfulness of Sade-Sati stand modified for the better:

i) Then Saturn is in its exaltation sign or in Mool-trikona sign, in own rasi (sign) and even in a friendly rasi.

ii) When Saturn is a Yoga-karaka planet for a particular Ascendant say for Libra and Taurus.

iii) Results will be neutral when a planets is strong at birth but weak in transit.

iv) How position of Saturn is improved by aspect/association and conjunction of other planets at birth and in transit.

Good aspect of Saturn with other planets will make the native careful in thought, and attentive, sober, calculative in all dealings. With methodical working, the native acquires property and develops profitable and gainful ventures including in agriculture and minerals. Dealing in metals associated with Saturn also proves beneficial.
Natal Star-the Nakshatra of Birth is also to be considered while delineating the effects of Sade-Sati. Actually K.P.System is based on Nakshatras. Consider in which constellation a planet transits.

The effects of all planets while transiting the natal nakshatra are not listed here but the effects of Saturn (also of Rahu as Rahu is an other Saturn) are give below:

NAKSHTRA RESULTS

1st – Aswini -- Grief or bereavement.
2nd to 5th Bharni -- Happiness and
Kritika, Rohini, and Mirgsara -- Prosperity.
6th to 8th – Ardra -- Journeys
Punarvase and Pushaya -- and obstacles.
9th to 11th -- Loss of Money

Ashlesha, Megha, and Financial position Poorva Phalguni.

12th to 15th Uttarphalguni -- Gains of money – good

Hasta, Chitra, Swati -- financial position.

16th to 20th Uttarashada -- Happiness and gains.

Saravena, Dhanishta, Satbhisha, Poorvabhadrapad.

26th and 27th Uttarbhadrapad -- Danger of ill health etc. and Revti.

Finally, I would again say that totality of the horoscope must be considered. No pronouncement be given unless one is sure about the malefic content of Saturn and other planets. What is needed is the well-gaurded pronouncement not only on Sade-Sati but on all matters. Keep in mind whether benefic planets transit 6th/8th/12th house and if so the maleficience shall be neutralised. It would also be apt to say something about Saturn who gives energy to face evil, do hard work so that one knows the value of hard work and indirectly enabling the native to control his ego.
