INTRODUCTION
Jupiter Antardasha involves understanding how Jupiter’s inherent qualities influence various areas of life during this period, while also factoring in its placement in birth chart and the context of the overarching Mahadasha.
ATTRIBUTES
Planetary Nature: Jupiter (Brihaspati) is a benefic planet associated with expansion, growth, wisdom, wealth, and spirituality.
Represents dharma (righteousness), learning, ethics, morality, higher education, wealth, and divine guidance.
Career: Advisor, teacher, philosopher, or leader.
Relationships: Spouse (for women), mentors, and elders.
Health: Liver, pancreas, fat, and hormonal systems.
Material Prosperity: Gold, assets, and generosity.
EXALTATION & DEBILITATION
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer (Karka Rashi) at 5° and debilitated in Capricorn (Makara Rashi) at 5°. Exalted Jupiter in Cancer thrives due to the nurturing, emotional, and intuitive qualities of this Moon-ruled sign, amplifying Jupiter’s wisdom, spirituality, and generosity. It brings prosperity, ethical conduct, and harmonious relationships.
Debilitated Jupiter in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, Jupiter’s expansive and optimistic nature struggles with Saturn’s restrictive, practical energies, leading to challenges like lack of faith, material struggles, or narrow-mindedness. However, the adverse effects of debilitation can be mitigated through Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga or specific astrological remedies, allowing Jupiter to deliver balanced or even auspicious results.
