Jupiter — Full Reading

What Jupiter signifies

Jupiter signifies wisdom, wealth, children and teachers. Wherever Jupiter sits in your chart, those matters are switched on — the house it occupies, the house it rules, and every house it aspects all take on its character.

Strong and weak

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and debilitated in Capricorn. It owns Sagittarius and Pisces, and treats Sun, Moon and Mars as friends. A planet in its exaltation or own sign gives its results readily; the same planet debilitated gives them late, partially, or through struggle — it does not stop giving them.

Strengthening it

The classical strengthening for Jupiter is its own weekday — Thursday — its Beej mantra, and the donation of the things it rules. Its gemstone is Yellow Sapphire, which no honest astrologer prescribes without reading the whole chart: a stone strengthens a planet, and strengthening a planet that is already doing damage makes the damage worse.

If you want to act on this

A remedy in jyotish is an act, not a purchase — a fast, a mantra, a donation on the right weekday. Where a formal ritual is called for, these are the three that apply: a puja performed on your behalf, a chadhawa offered at the temple, or an abhimantrit article energised with the mantra of the planet involved.
