Part 1

"Introduction to Jupiter"

 

This morning I kept thinking of Jupiter, and how we've been neglecting 'him' in

all our previous discussions, hehe.

So, now, let's reflect upon Jupiter!

Jupiter simply put, means 'Guru' or teacher.

Therefore, from our teachers including Gurus, we gain knowledge.

Guru represents the entire 'teaching' situation from our kindergarten teachers, to our Divine Gurus.

Guru represents the student, teacher relationship.

Guru, even, represents the parent, child relationship.

Guru, represent, the divine relationship between individual soul and God.

"Guru is God"! some have said, so Guru or Jupiter, has something to do with God.

Guru or Jupiter, rules, (naturally) the 9th House in Jyotish.

9th House, being the House of God.

Slightly different then the 5th House, which is called the House of Mantras, vs.

the 12th House, which is the house of the transcendental realm.

Then there are the moksha houses, 4th, 8th, & 12th, and since Jupiter has to do

with Liberation, understanding those houses may be significant in our charts.

Jupiter, Guru, Moksha, Liberation, represents the path from ignorance to Enlightenment.

This is the 'range' of Jupiter.

Consciousness is the Reality of Guru, or Jupiter.

Jupiter represents the Wisdom of Reality, Being or Consciousness.

Jupiter, therefore represents 'faith', and depending upon the Jupiter, in one's

chart, one either has good faith or doubting or even skepticism.

Jupiter represents 'Wisdom', learning, therefore studying, and all school

learnings are ruled by Jupiter.

Jupiter, in our charts, shows us how much strength of Guru, we're starting out with.

But, there's an old expression that goes like this:

"You may have God mad at you, and in such a case, you can appeal to the Guru!

But, if you have the Guru mad at you, who else can you appeal to?"

I love this expression, it helped me understand the subtle differences between

God and Guru, in my Life.

God is our Father, our very Mother, Guru is our teacher.

Guru therefore, has a different relationship, and where God, inspires us as a

child to their Parent, Guru inspires us as a serious, student.

The love between Guru and disciple, is one of the most precious relationships in life.

Guru therefore rules teachers, even Mentors, is a kind of Guru-disciple relationship.

Financial advisors, doctors, Advisors, Counselors, teachers of all kinds, all, are Gurus.

Whether we find ourselves playing the role of a student or as a Guru, in any

stage of life; we should understand the precious realities of this Divine

Relationship.

We should take seriously our role when we find ourselves, being the student!

The student, should approach the teacher, or Guru, with the utmost sincerity and openness.

If we find ourselves playing the role of Guru, then we should take with the

utmost appreciation, the divine role of teacher.

I remember when I came across this passage from the great sage Maharishi

Parashara, whom, many consider as the founder of Jyotish.

"If we do Jyotish, poorly, we'll come back as,..(and here are my words: hehe),

the worse kind of toad!"

I loved this expression because it cautioned me, to make sure that whenever I

sought to help, guide, advise, or instruct, that I'd remember the keen

importance to do this, well!

Guru therefore, should be uplifting, inspiring, and full of promise, hope, and Enlightenment.

Contemplate the perfection of Guru, or Jupiter, in Cancer.

2 years ago, I was thinking about this when I watched the Guru, move through

Cancer, as it went through my 10th house.

After awhile, I felt that sweet presence of the Divine Mother, blessings to all,

as 'she', moved across my house of career.

All of a sudden I realized the Ideal, perfect Guru, is the Mother!

When the Guru, is Divine like the Mother, Guru instructs, cares, and is

compassionate as a Mother is to her children, then the Guru is perfect.

I think of that now, when I think of Jupiter.

Find the Jupiter in your charts, and ask yourself, what flavor of Guru, did you

start this life with.

Jupiter in Aries, has a very dynamic and outward and manifest destiny or flavor.

Jupiter in Taurus, is a Guru, of the heart, practical, down to earth, focusing

on love, compassion and devotion.

Jupiter in Gemini, is Wisdom through Intellect. Gemini, is ruled by Mercury so

when Jupiter is there, there's an inherent love of learning.

Jupiter in Cancer, is Exalted!, Jyotish says. Find this as the Ideal, and

aspire to be like a Mother, loving, careing, compassionate, and considerate.

Love is the thread that binds Mother to her children, and like that, Jupiter

should love their students, and disciples.

Jupiter in Leo, has a paternal or Fatherly flavor to it.

Jupiter in Virgo, is seeking wisdom through Intellect, through critical

analysis, and through 'perfectionism'. Jupiter in Virgo, will be precise,

detailed, and discriminative. Don't be too hard on yourself, or others, just

because you can see the fault. The real 'perfection' lies in being able to see

the solution, which is perfect, Life!

Jupiter in Libra, is the Wisdom of balance, harmony and being a great counselor, or arbitrator.

Jupiter in Scorpio, is the wisdom of researching Guru.

Jupiter here loves research and studying privately, for the betterment of all of society.

Jupiter in Sagittarius, is one of the 3 best places of Guru. Sagittarius, is so

similar to the nature of Guru, that this placement bodes well, for all. Guru,

here, is a natural teacher, giver of knowledge, and loves learning, is

extremely curious and loves to travel in the mind, as well as the physical

World.

Jupiter in Capricorn, is fallen, weak, and undeveloped due to that Capricorn

energy. Because Capricorn represent 'materialism' or physical values, Guru is

asleep, in Capricorn.

Jupiter is 'debilitated' in Capricorn, because the energy of Divine Guru, is

being mixed up or lost to physical or material values.

I asked a friend of mine, one time what it was like to have Jupiter/Capricorn.

"Charles, I'm confused by your Jupiter. I mean I see you as a great devotee,

lover of God, even a good teacher, so I'm wondering, How do you see this

Jupiter/Capricorn part of you!"

He said: "All of my life, I've noticed that I seem to choose the materialistic

solutions to things, instead of the more deep, spiritual ones. When I find

myself at a fork and I reflect within, I used to find myself, being practical,

making materialistic choices, and as a result, the consequences weren't that

great! But, as I've gotten older, and wiser, especially since knowing this

about my Jupiter, it's allowed me to make better, more spiritual choices!"

Jupiter in Aquarius, is slightly better. Aquarius, representing "unconventional

creativity", therefore finds one seeing the unconventional or untraditional

possibilities, for life.

Jupiter in Pisces, is the 2nd Sign, with Sagittarius, where Jupiter's in it's

Own Sign. Jupiter in Pisces, being Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the

Zodiac, represents final liberation, and Enlightenment.

Jupiter in Pisces seeks power and illumination through transcendence, through

finding the Self, and gaining knowledge and wisdom, through this inner

awakening.

So, wherever you find your Jupiter, aspire for it's Perfection in the sweet,

loving nature and comfort, of the Mother.

>From Jupiter comes, natural fulfillment of desires.

>From 'good' Jupiter, power, comes good luck, boons, and grace.

Going to a Great, Guru, gives us the Dharshan, or Sight, or Light, of the Guru.

The Guru illuminates through his Divine glance, or touch and we are enlightened

through this encounter.

Devotion to 'Guru', whether in the form of a physical, real Guru, or the Guru,

of the Universe, brings great luck and fulfillment.

Open your Heart, to the Guru, within.

It is, after all the nature of your Higher Self!

As you find your inner Guru, you'll begin seeing the play of the Guru, everywhere.

At every stage there's a teacher, and a student. At every junction, there's a

higher and a lower.

These situations of subtle differences are for the sake of evolution.

One stage, reaching down, to help the other, gives tremendous strength, and comfort along the path.

If we don't have this grace, life may appear very arduous, difficult and lonely.

But, the Divine Guru, God, is there also at every moment, and in any instance,

the Divine may speak to you, or be heard.

We open our hearts to the Divine Guru, for the sake of answers, solutions, help, and Divine Wisdom.

As we expand our hearts and minds, and our Consciousnesses, also, expand; we

find ourselves at the lotus feet of the Guru.

May the blessings of Guru, bless us in every moment of our lives!

Guru, moves through love.

As the student approaches the teacher, (Guru), with an apple, the Guru's heart is moved.

In that stirring of the heart, the teacher is inspired to give what he has, to his students.

The role of being a good student is vital for drawing to one, the boons of Guru.

If we don't act respectfully, if we act conceited, or arrogantly, then the Guru might not be found.

There's this beautiful passage in Yogananda's book, his Autobiography of a Yogi,

where he's talking to his Guru.

"But Gurjii, how can we help, (Sasha), if he won't listen to reason?" "Sasha

has not heeded our advice, or instructions, so now, the World, will become his

Guru."

I loved when I read this passage, because it shows the importance of respect for

one's Guru, however, it also says that the Guru, can be found in nature itself,

even if a more formal Guru is not found.

Some of the greatest sages, or Enlightened Seers, or 'Gurus', didn't have a formal Guru.

The Guru, exists in Life, itself, as our Higher Selves!

Opening ourselves, to the Guru, whether physically, or spiritually, brings the

blessings of the Higher, Self, to ourselves.

"The Higher Self, unfolds itself, by itself, to itself, for the nature of the SELF."

quote of one great Guru.

Let the Light of the Guru, which surely rules and flows through the Divine

Science of Jyotish; let that light, guide our way, and help us find the

fulfillments of our lives!

Jai Guru

Sincerely,

Mark Kincaid

Practice Yoga asanas, or postures for increasing flexibility, and release of

stress, pressure or pain.

Practice Divine Pranayama, to refine the breath, which will not only have a

great calming influence, but will also prepare the mind for transcendence.

Meditate, to experience directly the Divine field of the SELF, the Self of the

Universe, God, and the living 24-hour reality of the Guru.

Hello,

 

I really liked the description that you have given on Jupiter. Now I

would like to know the effects of various planets aspecting Jupiter

in various signs. For example, what can be interpretted if Jupiter is

in 5th house (in Libra) but aspected by Saturn in the 11th house (in

Aries).

 

Thank you

[Guest guest]

dear Mr Mark

 

it was a very well written piece on jupiter.

i enjoyed reading the same.

 

you mention if one takes an apple...

as a general rule we hindus take something like

fruits, flowers, quality snacks/sweets or dry fruits

to homes of also relatives or friends we visit. not

just the guru though this is a compulsory offering for

one's guru.

 

the lines i liked most are:

 

> Guru inspires us as a serious, student.

 

yes indeed. i am lucky to have got a really solid

foundation from my own teacher for astrology. though

at times i would feel very restricted but at the end

of it all i realise its for my own good. even though

i am a good 15 years older than him he did not spare

me when i made my share of silly mistakes as a

beginner. what do they say about one learning more

from a strict but good teacher than a kind, loving but

mediocre one. its my good praarabhda to get a great

beginning, get to read very good books by many learned

authors, importantly in english and now this list.

very true. we cannot mishandle the full trust with

which anyone comes to seek guidance. frightening,

ordering one to perform costly yagnas, homams, pujas,

wearing gems cut only by a particular jeweller, etc.

all in the name of parihaaraas!

is there anything more powerful than chanting mantras.

not only does it give a troubled one, peace of mind,

it also takes one's mind away from anxiety while

chanting mantras. at no cost at all except one's time

and faith to chant them.

 

 

> Divine Mother.

> All of a sudden I realized the Ideal, perfect Guru,

> is the Mother!

 

i could get a new lease of life after i began chanting

the Lalitha Sahasranamam each day without fail since

the past two years. each of HER 1000 names is a

powerhouse! there are so many hidden meanings in those

names. so many vidyas waiting to be explored. one

such set of stanzas can be linked to patanjali's yoga

shastra. a few are devoted to HER liking for

particular offerings such as paayasanna, jaggery, curd

rice, buttermilk and their connection to human organ

health healers. i would always wonder whether one of

her names 'shodasaakshari' has a clue to the 16 vargas

we use in astrology. HER yoginis protecting her inner

fortress reminded me of the 'kota chakra' about which

shri kn raoji as guide and his student shri joshi have

explained in their book by the same name. each day i

seem to find a new meaning to HER names.

 

 

also enjoyed the insight from yogananda's

autobiography. right from montessory to our final

breadth we are learning from those we meet or get

connected with. the world is our best teacher in many

ways.

 

thanks again for sharing such a beautiful article with

us. looking forward to subsequent parts. with a

request to not to leave out the other planets.

 

god bless.

maha
