Effects of Jupiter

Jupiter takes a very important role of a guru (advisor) in the council of planets.

It is believed that if Jupiter is well placed in one's birth chart, it removes all the malefic effects of the horoscope.

With respect to one's birth chart, one can judge the favourable or unfavourable position of the Jupiter, based on the following "symptoms":

Benefic Effects: Higher education (academic/sprititual), financial strength (money, gold, etc.), knowledge, dominance, versatile/creative in legal laws, banking, politics & diplomacy, fame, goodwill, popularity, success, wise decision-making, healthy digestive system, life-longevity, obedient children, generosity; prospects to be a guardian, scholar, judge, economist; involved in spiritual teachings, religious tendencies; good eye lusture, glow on face.

Malefic Effects: hasty decision-making (unwise/alleged), gaining disgrace & dishonor, punished by state/law, gaining enemies, diseased, facing obstacles, kidney disease, increased fats, over ambitious, hard liner, criticsing everyone, loss of gold.

It is difficult to judge or ascertain in which category a person exists. It is not usual that every benefic or malefic character would be effecting a person at the time. There can be mixed effects too. To reduce the malefic effects, the under stated remedies can be considered suitable:

• Use saffron everyday (apply on forehead, tongue & naval). 
• Donate bananas & chickpea/gram flour balls on Thursday. 
• Seek blessings of elders/spiritual personalities. 
• Donate religious literature/books to pundits (learned people).
