Jupiter’s effects in Astrological Houses - III

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.
