Introduction

बृषभं चर्षणीनाम् विश्वरूपम् अदाभ्यम्। बृहस्पतिम् वरेण्यम्॥

Janma Rāśi

Jupiter is the suraguru, the priest of the gods, the giver of light and the supreme preceptor. It is he who removes the darkness of ignorance and ushers in the light of knowledge. Without the blessings of Guru, the mind is forever enshrouded in darkness, clouded by ignorance, until Jupiter illuminates it and grants wisdom. He represents Divinity in the horoscope and is the significator for dhī, wisdom and knowledge and the karaka for the 2nd (wealth, family and vāk), 5th (intelligence, scholarship, devotion, mantra, children, power), 9th (father, teacher, superior, dharma, temples, priests) and 11th (gains, rewards, friends, social circle) houses.

Mana or the mind is capable of both good and bad thoughts. Thoughts are the seeds (beeja) for future actions; therefore, protection of the mind is extremely necessary. Good thoughts lead to good actions for which the blessings of Jupiter ought to be invoked so that he fills the mind with good thoughts at all times  illuminating it with the Sun’s light, so that one is always guided by dharma, conscience and the higher perceptive power which elevates one above gloom and darkness. Perhaps for this very reason, the Rig Veda has saluted the great Jupiter, telling us to adore him and worship him during our prayers, rites and rituals, so that he may bestow unending treasures, happiness and strength and give shape to all our desires and hopes.
