Traits and characteristics of Jupiter:

Of all the planets Jupiter is the most beneficial. Whichever house, sign or planet, those Jupiter aspects gets life and vitality, and is boosted in all aspects. Jupiter, is significator for “Wealth”, and Wealth has here to be taken in its broad sense as “Value”.

This planet, therefore, not only makes the things it aspects as valuable, but is himself enriched as a value, when for examine, Venus is situated 12^th from it, in which case Jupiter indicates good riches.

If Venus is placed in the 12^th house from Jupiter and Jupiter has good lordship too in the horoscope, the native is rich, for Venus boosts the prospects of the planet or the house from where it is in the 12^th. In this case it will be in the 12^th from Jupiter-the significator for wealth and as such would indicate good riches.

For people born in Gemini and Virgo ascendants, Jupiter becomes the lord of two angles of the horoscope. This has been considered as a defect in the case of the lord ship going to the natural benefic and more so for Jupiter a planet that is the most benefic. In such cases a weak and afflicted Jupiter placed in the 7^th or the 2^nd house (Maraka Houses) of a horoscope brings about serious physical trouble to the native.

If people with Aries as their ascendant have their Jupiter along with the 12^th house afflicted by malefic planets, they are liable to have injury or disease in the region of the feet, for in such a case, all the factors denoting the feet namely the 12^th house and its lord, the 12^th sign and its lord, are afflicted.

If Jupiter is strong in the horoscope, of people having Aquarius as their ascendant, it may prove a veritable boon for them. Jupiter of such people increases the value and worth of the house and its lord that it may aspect, for the reason that Jupiter a natural significator of “Wealth” here becomes lord of two houses (2^nd and 11^th) each of which again stands for wealth.

Jupiter is of long Stature. Like Mercury Saturn and Rahu, it’s aspect on things makes them of long stature length etc. For example, if Mercury, Jupiter etc are aspecting the Ascendant and the Moon as also the lords of these signs, the native will be of “Long” bodily stature.

For ladies Jupiter is of special importance. In each female nativity, Jupiter stands for the husband. The author of Phal Deepika says Jupiter is wise and self controlled and represents the longevity of the husband in the female horoscope. Hence when in a female nativity, Jupiter himself becomes the lord of the 7^th house and is strong, it indicates not only cordial relations of the lady with her husband and vice versa, but also good longevity for the husband. On the contrary if such a Jupiter in a female horoscope is under the “Separative” influence of the planets Sun, Saturn and Rahu, who also influence the 7^th house, the lady is divorced by her husband soon after the marriage. A strong Jupiter of people with Pisces as their ascendant denotes the acquisition by them of ruling or executive powers since Jupiter a significator of governmental favours, becomes lord of two houses 1^st and the 10^th each of which represents the same type of power.

A strong Jupiter for people having Scorpio as their ascendant ensures good speaking powers and oratory, for Jupiter-one of the significators of speech himself becomes the lord of houses representing speech.

Jupiter situated in the 9^th house in the case of people having Libra as their ascendant, confers devotion to and company of the Guru, for Jupiter-a spiritual planet becomes lord of the house of friends and associates (3^rd house).

Jupiter even though situated in the 12^th house, a bad house in the horoscope and in an inimical sign (Libra) as representative of “Son” i.e. as lord of the 5^th house in a Scorpio nativity, does not deny male Issues, provided it is retrograde, for retrogression is a source of strength for all planets.

Jupiter if situated in the Ascendant is endowed with “Directional” strength.

Jupiter stands for letters in the “Ta” (T pronounced as in “Teertha”) varga. “Ta” “Tha” “Da” “Dha” and “Na”. When Jupiter indicates the initial letter of a name, it is one of the five letters of his varga.
