Introduction Astrological importance of Jupiter

Jupiter, also known as Guru or Brihaspati, is the fifth planet in the Navagraha Mandal and is also known as the Guru of Gods. In astrology, Jupiter is associated with knowledge, wisdom, religion, wealth, children, morality, fame, prosperity, and stability.

Jupiter is a friendly planet to the Sun and Moon, neutral to Saturn and Mars, an enemy to Venus, and an enemy to Rahu and Ketu. It aspects the 5th, 7th, and 9th houses, making them strong.
