Jupiter (Guru) in Your Chart: Wisdom, Growth and Fortune

Jupiter — Guru or Brihaspati — is the great benefic of Vedic astrology: the planet of wisdom, growth, faith and good fortune. Where it sits, it tends to bless.

What Jupiter governs

It rules higher knowledge, teachers and mentors, children, wealth and dharma. A well-placed Jupiter brings optimism, sound judgement and timely expansion; it is especially important in the charts of teachers, advisors and parents.

When Jupiter needs support

A weak or afflicted Jupiter can show as missed opportunities or wavering judgement. Traditional support includes respect for teachers, study, charity on Thursdays, and — only if the chart calls for it — yellow sapphire.

Jupiter expands whatever it touches; the wise give it something worth expanding.
