Introduction: Jupiter — The Planet That Decides Grace, Not Struggle
In Vedic Astrology, Jupiter (Bṛhaspati / Guru) is not merely a benefic planet —
it is the carrier of Divine Permission.
Where Saturn shows effort,
Mars shows struggle,
Rahu shows desire,
👉 Jupiter shows where life supports you naturally.
Your Jupiter placement answers questions like:
- Where does life protect me?
- Where do I receive guidance without asking?
- Which area of life expands when I align with Dharma?
- Where does my wealth, wisdom, and divine timing originate?
