Jupiter is a fiery, noble, benevolent, masculine, expansive, optimistic, positive and dignified planet. Higher attributes of the mind and soul, generosity, joy, jubilation and joviality along with high reasoning ability and the power of right judgement are all governed by Jupiter. Jupiter rules educational interests, law, religion, philosophy, banking, economics and indicates the extent of one’s love and longing for religion, scriptures, elders and preceptors. He is also a significator of wealth, progress, philosophic nature, good conduct, health and children. Jupiter represents Thursday and the yellow colour. He is regarded as Karaka for 2^nd, 5^th, 9^th, 11^th and 12^th houses. Jupiter loses its power if these houses are occupied by his enemies. Sun, Mars and Moon are his friends, whereas Mercury and Venus are his enemies. Rahu, Ketu and Saturn adopt neutrality to him. He stands exalted in the 4th house and the 10th house is the house of his debilitation. The stone of Jupiter is Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj). Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and debilitated in Capricorn. It rules over the zodiac signs Sagittarius and Pisces. Punarvasu, Vishakha and Purva Bhadrapada are the nakshatras ruled by Jupiter.

Jupiter provides good results if placed in houses 1, 5, 8, 9 and 12, but 6^th , 7^th  and the 10^th houses are bad placements for him. Jupiter gives bad results when Venus or Mercury get placed in the 10th house of a horoscope. However, Jupiter never gives bad results if placed alone in any house. A malefic Jupiter affects the Ketu (son) very adversely.

Worship of BRIHASPATI or GURU (JUPITER) Devata results in a cure from ailments affecting the stomach and helps one to ward off his/her sins, helps him/her in gaining strength, valor, longevity etc. He grants the boon of father-hood to the childless, good education (Vidya). He is revered as the Guru of Devas, protector of the world and is considered SRESHTA (matchless) among the wise. Kind-hearted he is considered the Loka Guru and dispenser of justice and can be known only by a proper study of the Vedas. Thursdays are considered to be the best day for the worship of Jupiter.

Jupiter in 7^th House

7th house belongs to Venus, so it will give mixed results. The native will have rise in luck after marriage and native will be involved in religious works. The good result of the house will depend upon position of Moon. The native will never be a debtor and will have good children. And if the sun is also in 1st house the native will be a good astrologer and lover of comforts. However, if Jupiter is malefic in 7th house and Saturn is in the 9th the native will become a thief. If Mercury is in the 9^th then his married life will be full of problems. If Jupiter is malefic native will never get support from brothers and will be deprived of favors from the government. Jupiter in 7^th house causes differences with the father. If so, one should never donate clothes to anyone, otherwise one will certainly get reduced to extreme poverty.
