Jupiter (Guru) in the 12 Houses

- 01
Jupiter in the 1st house
The lagna is where Jupiter gains directional strength (dig bala), and the classical texts count it among the best placements: wisdom, good character, a dignified bearing, long life, children and respect. - 02
Jupiter in the 2nd house
Jupiter in the 2nd, the natural significator of wealth in the house of wealth, gives eloquent, truthful speech, a respected family, good food, a learned manner and money that accumulates. - 03
Jupiter in the 3rd house
Jupiter in the 3rd is a teacher asked to fight: the texts read a benefic in this upachaya house of nerve as cautious or slow to act, with some miserliness or effort that goes unrewarded. - 04
Jupiter in the 4th house
In the 4th house Jupiter gives the comforts the house promises: a peaceful home, a respected mother, property, vehicles, a good education and contentment. - 05
Jupiter in the 5th house
Jupiter is the natural significator of children and wisdom, and in the 5th the texts give a wise, learned, devout native — a counsellor or minister — with good judgement and success in study. - 06
Jupiter in the 6th house
In the 6th house of enemies, disease and debt, a benefic Jupiter is read as mixed: the texts give success over opponents through fairness, but also lethargy, weight or liver complaints and debts taken on too generously. - 07
Jupiter in the 7th house
In the house of marriage Jupiter is a protective presence: the classical texts describe a virtuous, learned spouse, a dignified married life, gains through partnership and respect in public dealings. - 08
Jupiter in the 8th house
In the 8th house Jupiter is protection in a difficult place: the texts give long life and recovery from crises, an interest in the occult and astrology, and gains through inheritance, while cautioning that wealth comes and goes and that work may be unglamorous service. - 09
Jupiter in the 9th house
Jupiter in the 9th is the teacher in his own temple: the texts describe a religious, generous and fortunate native, respected by teachers and rulers, with wealth, learned children and a good father. - 10
Jupiter in the 10th house
Jupiter in the 10th gives a respected career built on good conduct: the texts describe virtue, wealth, fame and success in good work. - 11
Jupiter in the 11th house
Jupiter in the 11th multiplies through good counsel: the texts describe wealth from many sources, influential friends, long life and wishes fulfilled, with gains through teaching and advice. - 12
Jupiter in the 12th house
In the 12th house of expense and release Jupiter turns both outward and inward: the classical texts warn of expenditure, losses and an unsettled position, but the same placement spends on charity, pilgrimage and teaching and gives a strong pull toward spiritual life.
Make your kundli and look for Jupiter on the chart: the house it sits in, counted from the lagna, is the page to read, and the sign it is in is the row of that page’s table.
