Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Members- Here are some comments from Astro Vedica on the Deva Guru. You'll see by the Dr. Raman quote at the end that Jupiter is truly the planet of purva punyas and karmas, previous pious acts. He is the planet of luck. Astro Vedica on Jupiter- Jupiter is Brihaspati in the Vedic scheme of things, the preceptor of Indra and the devas. This suggests that he is a great brahmin to begin with, what to speak of being a teacher, priest and a pious planet. Actually, as a brahmin Jupiter is indicative of all kinds of advise- giving karmas because this is the nature of brahminical dharmas. In ancient times, such activities were carried out by caste brahmins, but in modern times, the brahminical role of Jupiter would occupy one as a counsellor, advisor or some type of modern professional. Combination with the Moon might see one a psychologist, with Mars a lawyer, with Mercury an accountant, or in the fifth an financial\investment advisor. The particulars would depend upon Jupiter's situation in the horoscope, the point being that Jupiter would see one engaged in an advisory or instructive role. Because he is a brahmin, guru and instructor, the Jupiterian personality feels authoritative in some way, that his or her opinion is the " last word. " One of Jupiter's titles in this regard is Dharma-karaka, the planetary indicator of religion. Jupiter gives spiritual understanding and wisdom. As a priest he inclines one toward religious ceremonies and rituals, too. Jupiter is a great educator as a brahmin. In fact, he is called the Vidya-karaka because Jupiter indicates the acquisition of knowledge. Under his influence, one acquires higher learning such as university studies, and may be involved in teaching in one way or the other as a career. Another title of Jupiter's is Dhana-karaka, the indicator of wealth; Jupiter's role as an indicator of one's financial worth constitutes one of his main definitions. Specifically, investments and banking come under Jupiter's sphere of influence because an expansive nature constitutes another one of his main traits. After all, what is banking and investment except money that grows? Another way in which this growth facet of Jupiter commonly manifests is suggested by his title of Putra-karaka, the natural indicator of children. In a horoscope, it is principally Jupiter, the fifth house and its lord that are indicative of the existence of children and even, in turn, of their fate. Jupiter is the greatest benefic; it is said that his strong and central location in a horoscope can save one from the harmful influence of untold other planetary combinations. Jupiter is the planetary opposite of the constrictive Saturn. Whereas Saturn limits possibilities and establishes parameters, Jupiter suggests unfoldment, evolution, cheerfulness and conveys a positive outlook. Even when Jupiter is blemished or afflicted somehow, he would tend to see one over-generous, too optimistic and too nice. The absence of Saturnian channeling, for example, might find one unable to say no, and wasting one's efforts along unwarranted lines. We will examine the words of Dr. B.V. Raman by saying that " The position of Jupiter also considerably improves ( a horoscope ) by making the person not depend on another but to earn the name of a self-made man. Jupiter adds to the dignity of a person in a sure but silent way " ( Hindu Predictive Astrology, P - 85 ). The logic behind this is that Jupiter is the planet of " punya, " or good karmic credit earned in previous lives, such that in this life one may be lucky in one's endeavors and build oneself up, even where others fail.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Dear Dean, Yes your write up is very good. Here in this system we treat Jupiter in similar way, being karak for 5th house and 2nd house. 5th house Vidya, Santati etc and 2nd house Wealth etc, But When Jupiter is sixth lord, it's result perticularly in it's sub is very bad. If such Guru ( lord of 6th house for Cancer and LOibra Lagna) is with more points, in the sub period, it devoides from the person denoted by the house it aspects. Check some charts, you will find the correctness of the result. krushna , " deandddd " <0108@t...> wrote: > Members- > > Here are some comments from Astro Vedica on the Deva Guru. > > You'll see by the Dr. Raman quote at the end that Jupiter is truly > the planet of purva punyas and karmas, previous pious acts.
