GURU SHIMA TO KANAYA RASI

BY DR.J.PERUMAL.

 

 

The purpose of Vedic Astrology is to guide us in the process of Self

realization and development and not merely to a restricted projection

of the future governed by unseen external forces.

 

We have been discussing the forth coming change of transit of

Jupiter. Whatever is said about this planet is insufficient to really

understand the total gamut of this intangible planet and its benefits.

 

The tangible benefits are often drawn to wealth, progeny, marriage,

husband (for women) etc. But the most important of all is; Jupiter

indicates Divine Grace. It is the planet of luck. He indicates, good

fortune, good judgment and denotes Good that exists in all Evil.

With the help of this planet man becomes helpful to mankind and

helps in his or her tiny way to preserve the creation.

 

Desire which is closely connected with the word 'kama' has a much

higher meaning than a just sensory delight seeking emotion. This

desire or kama is our way of keeping the creation alive. Man is

different from animals yet both are subject to the cycle of nature.

Man desires for partnership which culminates in marriage, marriage

brings contentment and completeness in the birth of a new life. This

new life is the beacon of future. Jupiter is recognized as the

celestial father of all, he is the father; he is thepowerthatconnects

two souls in a sacred bond of marriage and subsequently blesses with

progeny.

 

A weak, afflicted or debilitated Jupiter causes disruption in these.

When Jupiter is well placed and is well aspected in a horoscope the

person is generally warm, generous and expands good will towards

others. The good that is done to others has a natural cycle of

returning the gesture. The person in turn enjoys a good life mostly

beyond expectation.

 

When Jupiter is afflicted, one has to act intellectually; careful

analysis must be made of all situations. The trouble is this is

exactly

what the afflicted person is unable to do. There appear lowly

inclinations and the person forgets;

 

"Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together"

 

These are words of Goethe and many great souls have written about

the virtue of this noble feeling.

 

Let me now refresh on the matters connected with this planet in

general for different Ascendants.

 

 

Aries Ascendant

 

Jupiter is the lord of the 9th house, the house of Destiny and 12th

house, the house of Detachment/Expenditure & Losses/Salvation.

The lordship of Jupiter on the 9th house is

benefic, but for the 12th house, a weak Jupiter can cause material

losses and prolong debts.

 

 

Taurus Ascendant

 

Jupiter if the lord of the 8th house, the house of procreation,

regeneration, longevity, death and sexual behavior; and 11th house

the house of material success. The effect determinant factor once

again is the strength of Jupiter (besides its connections with other

planets). While a strong Jupiter can pave the way for successes, a

weak one can cause setbacks, ups & downs in income and problems

in marital life.

 

Gemini Ascendant

 

Jupiter has lordship over the 7th and 10th houses. The 7th House is

the house of spouse or life partner and the 10th House stands for

professional career, ambition, social prestige and achievements. A

weak Jupiter for the Gemini Ascendant is a very sensitive issue, as

two very important aspects of life are involved here - marriage and

career. Marriage is often delayed and partnerships in general suffer.

 

Cancer Ascendant

 

Jupiter is the lord of the 6th house, the house of health, enemy and

obstacles; it is also the lord of the 9th house, the house of destiny

and past karma. A strong Jupiter oversees a robust and lucky

individual to whom wealth comes naturally, while a weak one

indicates loss of wealth, disapproval of persons in authority, health

hazards and losses in competitive situations.

 

Leo Ascendant

 

The lordship of Jupiter rests with the 5th and the 8th houses. The

5th

house denotes creativity, love/romance and children, while the 8th

house, as mentioned above,

denotes procreation, regeneration, longevity, death and sexual

behavior. Each one of these are important aspects of life. A strong

Jupiter blesses with the house traits, while a

weak one causes obstructions in true happiness in these areas.

Emotional setbacks are common as are financial constraints.

 

Virgo Ascendant

 

Jupiter is the lord of 4th and 7th houses, for the Virgo ascendant.

The 4th house stands for domestic bliss, our Mother and her

influence and possessions like real-estate. The 7th, as already

mentioned, is the house of spouse or life partner. The strength of

Jupiter, for the Virgo ascendant is the key to happiness in life. A

weakness in Jupiter could mean disturbances on the domestic front

and education.

 

Libra Ascendant

 

Lordship of the 3rd and 6th houses rests with Jupiter. The former

denotes material progress and communication while the latter stands

for health, enemy and obstacles.

Strength of Jupiter's placement in the chart plays its usual critical

role once again. Communication failures and wastes efforts could

mark the weakness of Jupiter

for the Libra ascendant.

 

Scorpio Ascendant

 

Jupiter is the lord of the 2nd and 5th houses. The 2nd house is the

house of the self in material world; it denotes the progress of the

inner self and in material terms it signifies the net wealth that we

build for ourselves. The 5th house represents creative intelligence,

love/romance, children and education and recovery. A strong Jupiter

augurs well for these significant areas, while the reverse may cause

obstructions in acquiring assets and enjoyment of domestic

happiness.

 

Sagittarius Ascendant

 

Lordships of the 1st and 4th houses are with Jupiter. The 1st house

represents the inner self (the Soul), and the outer self (the Body).

It indicates the way we project ourselves--our behavior and attitude

to the external world, as well as our physical attributes. It also

signifies our life in general. The 4th house represents Domestic

Bliss. It represents our Mother and her influence on our life. It

also represents our residence, possession of real estate, comfort of

conveyance. In general it represents ancestry, heritage, our roots

with our birthplace. A weak Jupiter often contributes to an unhappy

frame of mind, given the significant areas governed by these houses.

Health may get affected and one may even face financial constraints.

 

Capricorn Ascendant

 

Jupiter is the lord of the 12th and 3rd houses. The first represents

our material expenditure and losses. It also represents our karmic

and spiritual debts in this life.

It is the house of salvation or "Moksha". The twelfth house also

represents our foreign connections and is also the house of secret

pleasures and sex. The 3rd house denotes

material progress and communication. Strength of Jupiter's

placement in the chart plays is indeed critical in this case. A low

strength could lead to unexpected losses and

problems in marital life.

 

Aquarius Ascendant

 

Here, Jupiter is the lord of the 11th and 2nd houses. The 11th is

the house of material success. It represents our income and profit.

It reflects the material success that we achieve through our

professional efforts. It also represents our older siblings and our

relations with social groups and organizations. The 2nd house, as

mentioned above, is the house of the self; it denotes the progress of

the inner self and in material terms it signifies the net wealth that

we build for ourselves. A weak Jupiter may leave one dissatisfied

with income and results of efforts applied. Problems from friends

have also been observed in this case.

 

Pisces Ascendant

 

Jupiter is the lord of the 10th and 1st houses. It describes our

Professional Career, Ambition, Social Prestige and Achievement. It

represents our relation with the government and ruling elite. It also

represents our Father and his influence on our life. The 1st house

governs our represents the inner self (the Soul), and the outer self

(the Body) and our behavior and attitude to the external world, as

well as our physical attributes. It also signifies our life in

general.

A weak Jupiter could cause careerproblems and concerns with children.

 

These are general guidelines to give you an idea of your own Jupiter

and what it means for you. Jupiter's aspect can wipe out millions of

instances of Evil provided the destiny of the person allows it. Even

divine grace is bound by our own actions and the karmic wheel is

not under a power. It is driven by the balance of good and bad, the

two opposing forces of our conscience. A fully competent Jupiter

reflects past good deeds and can and will bring benefic effects even

as an intruder into the malefic's sphere of control.

 

So one must bear in mind that the actual effect realized is an

amalgam of Jupiter's strength, its location in the chart, its

conjunction with other planets, aspects received by it and aspects

given by it, to name a few important parameters.

Remedy

 

There are a number of methods for the propitiation of Jupiter. Some

very exotic methods also find mention in different works, but let me

briefly describe some of the most respected and time tested methods

here:

 

- Strengthening of Jupiter by wearing a Yellow Sapphire.

Needless to say that the chart must be analyzed by an astrologer

first to judge the status of Jupiter and if in its strengthening,

there will be any side effects. In some cases the astrologer may

even recommend the strengthening of another planet to balance

the weakness of Jupiter.

 

- A Yantra for Jupiter

A Yantra may be used in cases where use of gemstone is not found

suitable. Wearing a Yantra requires focus and practice of regular

meditation with mantras to keep the same energized and effective.

 

- Periodic performance of Nav-graha Puja

The performance of this puja and specifically doing Homa with the

chanting of Gayatri Mantra and Jupiter's Mantra, using some

specified articles.

 

- Practice of prayer and worship of Narayan

Sri Narayan or Satya Narayan is the ruling deity of Jupiter. Black

blue and red colors are not recommended to be worn on this day of

worship. Hindu scriptures also recommend the worship of Goddess

Tara on this weekday for the propitiation of Jupiter.

 

Jupiter is weak and its benefic powers are reduced by its placement

in:

- Capricorn, its sign of debility

- the aspect of Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Sun and Mars

- difficult houses like the 6th, 8th or 12th
