Complete Guide to Guru/Brihaspati: The Great Benefic Planet
Jupiter: The Planet of Wisdom and Prosperity
Jupiter, known as Guru or Brihaspati in Vedic astrology, is revered as the most auspicious and benevolent planet. The name 'Brihaspati' comes from Sanskrit words 'Brihad' (meaning great) and 'Pati' (meaning protector), making Jupiter the "Great Protector." As the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter's expansive nature brings growth, wisdom, prosperity, and divine blessings wherever it is placed in the birth chart.
Jupiter is considered the natural benefic in Vedic astrology, symbolizing knowledge, higher learning, spirituality, children, wealth, fortune, and moral values. It represents the teacher archetype and governs our relationship with wisdom, truth, and righteousness.

Q: What happens when Jupiter is weak in horoscope?
Weak Jupiter may cause: financial struggles, problems in higher education, delays in children, lack of wisdom or judgment, liver problems, weight issues, problems with teachers or father, lack of faith, and difficulties in marriage (for females). Remedies should be performed to strengthen Jupiter.

Jupiter is a natural benefic but can give challenging results when: debilitated in Capricorn, afflicted by malefic planets, in dusthana houses (6th, 8th, 12th), combust (very close to Sun), or forming Guru Chandal yoga. Even then, Jupiter rarely gives completely negative results compared to natural malefics.

No. Yellow Sapphire should only be worn after consulting a qualified Vedic astrologer who has analyzed your complete birth chart.
