Jupiter as the Fixed Significator
2nd house (Dhana bhava) → Stored wealth, family resources, speech, sustenance.
5th house (Putra bhava) → Past-life merit, creativity, speculation, investments, progeny.
9th house (Dharma bhava) → Fortune, luck, higher wisdom, blessings of father/guru, dharmic merit.
11th house (Lābha bhava) → Gains, income, fulfilment of desires, social networks.
When Jupiter is Weak or Afflicted
Bad placement (dusthāna houses: 6, 8, 12)
Jupiter in 6th: wealth dissipates in debts, litigation, or service.
Jupiter in 8th: sudden losses, instability, inheritance disputes.
Jupiter in 12th: expenditure outweighs income, wealth flows to charity or hidden expenses.
Combustion (close to Sun)
Jupiter’s wisdom and expansive qualities are overshadowed. Wealth generation suffers due to poor judgment, ego-driven decisions, or la ack of guidance.
Debilitation (Capricorn)
Jupiter loses its natural optimism and generosity. Wealth accumulation becomes slow, restricted, or dependent on external factors.
Lack of aspect to 2, 5, 9, 11
Jupiter’s drishti (aspect) is protective. Without it, these houses lack nourishment. For example:
No aspect on 2nd → difficulty in savings, strained family wealth.
No aspect on 5th → poor investment returns, speculative losses.
No aspect on 9th → fortune doesn’t support, lack of dharmic blessings.
No aspect on 11th → gains are inconsistent, desires remain unfulfilled.
Consequences on Wealth Generation
Judgment errors: Weak Jupiter clouds financial wisdom, leading to poor investments.
Blocked fortune: 9th house suffers, so luck doesn’t support wealth creation.
Unstable gains: 11th house weak → income fluctuates, networks fail to support.
Family strain: 2nd house weak → family wealth and harmony suffer.
Ethical lapses: Jupiter governs dharma; weakness may cause unethical wealth pursuits, leading to eventual downfall.
In essence, Jupiter is the treasurer of dharma and fortune. If it falters, the houses of wealth (2, 5, 9, 11) lose their vitality, and the native struggles to generate, sustain, or ethically enjoy prosperity.
Jupiter as Karaka of the 4th House
4th bhava (Sukha sthāna) → Represents mother, home, property, vehicles, inner contentment, mental peace, and emotional stability.
Jupiter as karaka here, signifies:
Happiness and contentment → A benevolent Jupiter ensures a calm mind and life satisfaction.
Mental peace → Jupiter’s sattvic nature brings serenity, optimism, and resilience against stress.
Domestic harmony → Jupiter blesses family life, maternal care, and a nurturing environment.
Property and assets → Jupiter supports the acquisition of land, homes, and vehicles in a dharmic way.
When Jupiter is Weak or Afflicted
Debilitated/Combust Jupiter → Inner peace is disturbed, mind becomes restless, dissatisfaction grows despite external wealth.
Jupiter in dusthānas (6, 8, 12) →
In the 6th: domestic disputes, lack of peace at home.
In 8th: hidden anxieties, sudden emotional upheavals.
In 12th: isolation, detachment from family, excessive expenditure on property.
Afflicted by malefics (Saturn, Rahu, Mars) →
Saturn’s aspect → heaviness, depression, lack of joy.
Rahu’s aspect → false happiness, illusory peace, instability in home life.
Mars’ aspect → quarrels, aggression in the domestic sphere.
Consequences on Happiness & Peace
Restlessness of mind: Weak Jupiter cannot stabilise emotions, leading to anxiety or dissatisfaction.
Domestic disharmony: Family bonds weaken, maternal support reduces.
Loss of sukha (comforts): Property disputes, unstable residence, or lack of satisfaction in possessions.
Spiritual emptiness: Jupiter governs wisdom; its weakness deprives the native of deeper fulfilment.
When Jupiter is Strong
Brings mental equanimity, optimism, and resilience.
Ensures domestic harmony and the blessings of the mother.
Supports the ethical acquisition of property and comforts.
Provides inner satisfaction even amidst external challenges.
So, Jupiter is not only the treasurer of wealth (2, 5, 9, 11) but also the guardian of happiness and peace (4th bhava). If afflicted, one may accumulate wealth yet remain dissatisfied, proving that true prosperity is incomplete without Jupiter’s grace on the 4th.
