5 Effects of Jupiter in the Twelve Houses
Jupiter in the First House
Sutras 1-6-If Jupiter is in his own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) in the first house (ascendant) the native will be a. good speaker and well-versed in Shastras. He will have full knowledge of three Vedas good number of children and will be happy, long lived and learned. If Jupiter is in his sign of exaltation (Cancer) all the above results will be fully realised and in his 16th year the native will enjoy the effects of Maharaja yoga so caused by Jupiter. If Jupiter is in the house of his enemy, or in the house of a malefic, or is associated with a malefic or in his sign of debilitation (Capricorn) the native will indulge in sinful deeds, he will have an unstable mind and a medium span of life. He will be childless, ungrateful, full of false vanity, will forsake his near relations and well wishers, like travels, will be inimical towards others and be miserable.
Comments-Jupiter is the greatest benefic amongst all the planets. The first house in the horoscope is the most ideal position for Jupiter. He gets directional strength in this house and casts benefic aspects on the 5th house (signifying children, intellect etc), the 7th house (signifying wife, marriage, married life etc.) and the 9th house (signifying religious mindedness, bhagya, prosperity, father etc). If Jupiter is in the first house in a horoscope, it indicates that the native is blessed with the grace of God. According to Jatak Desamarga, when Jupiter possessed of exceeding strength with clear bright rays, occupies the lagna, the child born should be declared to be free from all afflictions. This means that Jupiter posited in a kendra position to the Moon wards off all evils (that would otherwise befall on a child) caused by all the planets, just as a lion, though single, is able to kill thousands of elephants. Jataka Parijata says in this respect:-
This means that if a powerful Jupiter in his full rays is posited in a kendra (1,4,7,10), he alone wards off all aristhas just as a sincere prayer to God Mahadev destroys all sins of the devotee.
Thus all the good results described in Sutras 1-4 will definitely be realised if Jupiter is not in any way afflicted. If afflicted the native will have to face effects in Sutras 5 and 6.
If Jupiter is in Sagittarius in the ascendant, he will be there as lord of the 4th and the ascendant. If Jupiter is in Pisces, he will be there as lord of the ascendant and the 10th house. If Jupiter is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Cancer and he will be there as lord of the ninth. These are very beneficial dispositions for any horoscope. The disposition of Jupiter in Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer in the ascendant (Lagna-Kendra) also gives rise to Hamsa yoga (a Panch Mahapurusha Yoga), the effects of which have been given as under:
"The native's legs will have the markings of a conch, lotus, fish and ankusa. He will possess a handsome body; he will be liked by others; he will be righteous in disposition and pure in mind." The following horoscope of President Sanjeeva Reddy is a good example of Hamsa yoga-
The following horoscope of the late Sir Mirza Ismail Prime Minister of former Mysore state is another example of Hamsa yoga-

Brikat Jatak-The person concerned will be learned.
Phaldeepika-The native will have a dignified appearance, will perform righteous deeds, will be long-lived and fearless. He will have happiness from children.
Saravali-The native will possess a beautiful body, will be long-lived, learned and tolerant.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be respected for his good qualities. He will spend money on pilgrimages.
Note-All the above authorities have attributed benefic results to Jupiter in the first house but not in so logical a manner as given by Bhrigu Sutras.
Jupiter in the Second House
Sutras 7-12-If Jupiter is in the second house the native will be rich and intelligent. What he foretells will come true. In his 16th year he will enjoy financial gains and agricultural prosperity. He will also be very powerful. If Jupiter is in his own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) or in his sign of exaltation, the native will be very prosperous and wealthy. If Jupiter is associates with a malefic there will be obstacles in educational pursuits and the native will be a thief, liar and will have vulgar speech. If Jupiter is in his sign of debilitation and associated with a malefic, the native will be a drunkard and immoral. He will be a destroyer of his family and will have relations with other people's wives. He will also be childless.
Comments-The second house is native's Dhana bhava. Jupiter in the second will give the native financial prosperity early in his life. According to the author second house also deals with education and Jupiter associated with malefics will cause obstacles in the educational sphere. The second house also signifies speech and family. Jupiter associated with malefics will .make the native immoral in every respect. Jupiter is a significator for children. If he is afflicted or is in his sign of debilitation, there will be no issues. If Jupiter is in Sagittarius the ascendant will be Scorpio and Jupiter will be ii"the 2nd house as lord of the 2nd and 5th houses. If Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Aquarius and Jupiter will be in the 2nd as lord of the 2nd and 11th houses. If Jupiter is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Gemini and he will be in the 2nd as lord of the 7th and 10th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. For Virgo ascendant also Jupiter will be very beneficial in the 2nd house.

Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be eloquent and sweet tongued.
Phaldeepika-The native will be intelligent, handsome and eloquent. He will get good food to eat. Jupiter in the second will improve all the good significations of this house.
Saravali-The native will be rich, fond of luxuries, eloquent handsome, sweet tongued and charitable.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be fond of poetry. He will be well versed in administrative affairs. He will suffer on account of lack of food. He will be very talkative. He will earn wealth with difficulty and inspite of all his efforts he will be unable to accumulate any wealth.
Note-Brihat Jatak does not mention anything about wealth.
Chamatkar'Chintamani has expressed the view that the native who has Jupiter in the 2nd can never be wealthy. Perhaps the author has 'Karko Bhava Nashaya' theory in view. Phaldeepika and Saravali are in agreement with the views of Bhrigu Sutras which we think are very logical and relevant to the significations of Jupiter and the 2nd house. We have found them correct in practical experience.
The following horoscope of the late President Abraham Lincoln of U.S.A. is an example of what Jupiter in his own sign gives to the native-
It will be seen that in the above horoscope Jupiter in his own sign Pisces and Venus in his sign of exaltation, are the only two planets in the second house who were responsible for the elevation of the native to such a high position. Jupiter in the Third House Sutras 13-18-If Jupiter is in third house, the native will be very miser and there will be a good number of brothers. The native will be very clever and determined. He will forsake his relations and will have travels in his 38th year. If the lord of the 3rd is strong the brothers will be longlived. If the lord of the 3rd is associated with a malefic there will be loss of brothers and the native will be impatient by nature, an idiot and poor.
Jupiter in the Third House
If Jupiter is in the third house, the native will be very miserly, and there will be a good number of brothers. the native will be very clever and determined. He will forsake his relations and will have travels in his 38th year.
Comments-The effects given above are quite logical and relevant to the significations of the 3rd house. Jupiter as a natural benefic gives good results unless he is afflicted. Jupiter from the 3rd aspects the seventh, ninth and eleventh houses, thus giving a happy married life to the native and also financial gains.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be stingy.
Phaldeepika-The native will be sinful, will have a malicious nature, and will be miser and humiliated, but his brother will achieve a high position.
Saravali-The native will be humiliated in public, miser, youngest amongst his brothers, dominated by his wife and sinful.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will get happiness from his brothers but he will be ungrateful and will not be friend of any body. Although'he will be fortunate he will not be able to earn as much wealth as he aspires to get.
Note-Almost all are agreed that the native will be miser with Jupiter in the third. We are, however, unable to agree to other evil effects attributed to Jupiter in the 3rd by Phaldeepika and Saravali. These can be realised when Jupiter is afflicted.
Jupiter in the Fourth House
Sutras 19-23-If Jupiter is in the 4th house, the native will be happy, wise, of good conduct and highly intelligent. He will also be a land-lord and will have abundance of milk. If the lord. of the 4th house is strong 01. is associated with Venus or Moon or is in benefic vargas the native will have conveyances pulled by human beings. He will 9wn many lands, horses and a spacious house. If Jupiter is aspected by or associated with a malefic, the native will be without any land or conveyance, he will have to live in other people's houses and will suffer loss of mother and have bitterness with relations.
Comments-The effects given in the above Sutras are very logical and relevant to the significations of the 4th house. Jupiter will give still better results if he is in his own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) or in his sign of exaltation (Cancer). When he is in Sagittarius, the ascendant will be Virgo and Jupiter will be in 4th as lord of 4th and 7th. If Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Sagittarius. Jupiter will be in 4th as lord of ascendant and the 4th. If Jupiter is in Cancer, the ascendant will be Aries, he will be lord of the 9th exalted in the 4th. The association of Jupiter with Moon in the 4th, will give rise to a very beneficial yoga known as Gajakesari yoga the effects of which have been given as under :-
"Many relations, polite and generous, builder of villages and towns or magistrate over them, will have a lasting reputation even long after death." Jupiter in the 4th will be in kendra to ascendant. His disposition in Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer will give rise to Hamsa yoga, the effects of which have already been given earlier in this chapter.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be happy.
Phaldeepika-The native will enjoy happiness from mother, friends, children, wife and agriculture.
Saravali-The native will enjoy happiness in regard to members of his family, house, clothes, conveyances; luxuries and wealth. He will humiliate his enemies.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will own horses and will take part in religious ceremonies. His enemies will act like his servants. Still he will not remain contented.
Note-The views expressed above will show that Jupiter has been considered to give quite favourable results when situated in the fourth house but none of the above authorities has examined this disposition as appropriately as done by Bhigru Sutras whose conclusions we commend to the readers.
Jupiter in the Fifth House
Sutras 24-31-If Jupiter is in the fifth house, the native will be highly intelligent, will have broad eyes, will be a good conversationalist, full of glory, will feed others, love family and in his 18th year become commander of the army by the favour of the king. He will also have a good number of children who will be prosperous. If the lord of the 5th is strong and at the same time in the house of a malefic or his enemy or he is in his sign of debilitation, there will be loss of children or the native will have only one issue. He will be rich but will suffer loss of wealth on account of penalties imposed by the king (Government). If Jupiter is associated with Rahu or Ketu, the native will suffer loss of his children on account of the wrath of Serpent God but this will not happen if Jupiter is aspected by a benefic.
Comments-Effects given in Sutras 25 and 26 are logical and relevant to the significations of Jupiter and the fifth house. It is said that in his 18th year, the native will obtain the position of a commander in the army by the favour of the king. This may be taken to mean that the native will be appointed to a respectable governmental post early in his life.
Sutras 26-29 are confusing. It is difficult to believe that the lord of the 5th will be strong and be at the same time in the house of malefic or in the house of his enemy or be in his sign of debilitation. There seems to be some error in printing of the original text. Shri N. N. Krishna Rao has also translated these Sutras according to the above text. His translation is as under:-
If dispositor happens to be strong, there will be loss of children; but will have minimum one son; and at the same time if it is situated in a malefic, enemy or debilitation sign, there will be expenses or account of king or govt. We interpret the above Sutras as follows: If the lord of the 5th is strong the native will be wealthy. If the lord of 5th is weak by being in a malefic or enemy's house or in his sign of debilitation, the native will suffer loss of children or will have only one son and will be put to loss of wealth on account of penalties imposed by Government. Bad effects will not be there if there is aspect of a benefic on Jupiter. If Jupiter is in his own sign Sagittarious the ascendant will be Leo and he will be lord of 5th in 5th (there will be very little evil effect of his being lord of 8th also). If Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Scorpio and he will be in the 5th as lord of 2nd and 5th. If Jupiter is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Pisces, and he will be in 5th as exalted lord of the ascendant and the 10th. These are very powerful and beneficial dispositions and will greatly improve the good effects of Jupiter in the fifth house.

Brihat Jatak-The native will be intelligent.
Phaldeepika-The native will be intelligent and a minister 120 of the king but will be unhappy on account of want of children.
Saravali-The native will be happy, will have a good number of children, will be learned, tolerant, and permanently wealthy.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be fond of luxuries. He will be a good orator and a writer with good imagination. He will sometimes acquire wealth through his children.
Note-Saravali agrees substantially with Bhrigu Sutras. Brihat Jatak makes no mention of the children which is the most important signification of Jupiter and the fifth house. Phaldeepika says that the native will suffer on account of the want of children. It seems to favour the 'Karko Bhava Nashyas' theory. We would commend to the reader the effects given by Bhrigu Sutras which have been supported by Saravali. We give below a horoscope which shows how Jupiter in the 5th has given the native four children in spite of malefic associations-
Sutras 32-34-The native will destroy his enemies, there will be growth of the members of his family (some have interpreted this to mean increase of nephews and in-laws), he will have grand-children and marks of wounds on the body. If Jupiter is in conjunction with a benefic the native will be free from diseases. If he is associated with a malefic or is in the house of malefic, the native will suffer form rheumatism or diseases due to cold. If Jupiter is in the sign of Saturn (Capricorn or Aquarius) in association with Rahu or Ketu the native will suffer from diseases of the worst type.
Comments-According to above Sutras Jupiter as a natural benefic will give good effects in regard to the significations of the sixth house unless he is afflicted. This sixth house is not a significator of children or grand children. It is, therefore, not understood how the effect will be realised if Jupiter is in the sixth house. The sixth house is an evil house (dusthana) and if Jupiter is there as a lord of an auspicious house, the significations of that house will be adversely affected.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be without enemies.
Phaldeepika-The native will destroy his enemies, he will be lazy, he will get humiliated, will take interest in recitation of mantras and will be clever.
Saravali-The native will win over his enemies, will be famous but humiliated, lazy, will gain name and fame through his wife and will suffer from diseases like hyperacidity.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will destroy his enemies, get happiness 'from his wife but not from his maternal uncle. He will always be sickly. His mother will also remain sickly.
Note-The above authorities have given both favourable and unfavourable results of Jupiter in the sixth house without taking into account the malefic or benefic associations. In this respect the views expressed by Bhrigu Sutras are more logical and reasonable except those on which we have already given our comments.
Jupiter in the Seventh House
Sutras 35-37-If Jupiter is in the seventh house, the native will be highly educated and a]§o worried. He will have lot of financial gains and his wife will be learned, chaste and devoted to her husband. If the lord of the 7th is weak or is associated with Rahu, Ketu, Saturn or Mars or is aspected by any of these malefics, the native will have illicit relations with women other than his wife. If Jupiter is associated with benefics, is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation,the native will have and be attached to one wife only and he will gain wealth through his wife. He will be happy and earn great respect in his 34th year.
Comments-Jupiter is a natural benefic and according to above Sutras he gives very beneficial results in the matter of education, finances and marital relations. The native becomes immoral if the lord of the seventh is weak and associated with or aspected by malefics. The same results may be expected if Jupiter- is associated with or aspected by any of the malefics mentioned in Sutra 36. Still better results will be realised if Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. Here a doubt may arise whether Jupiter in his sign of exaltation can be capable of giving good results because in such a position with Capricorn as the ascendant, he will be lord of two bad houses, the 3rd and the 12th houses. This doubt has been cleared by Kalidasa's Uttara Kalamrita in the following sloka:-
(Extract-from sloka 9-Khand IV)
This means that Jupiter when he owns the 3rd and 12th houses in a nativity will be productive of good to the person concerned. The same applies when he holds the ownership of the 8th house or when he occupies the 8th house. When Jupiter is in own sign Sagittarius in the 7th, the ascendant will be Gemini and he will be in the 7th, as lord of the 7th and 10 houses. When Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Virgo and he will be in the 7,th, as lord of the 4th and 7th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. When in the 7th house, Jupiter will be in Kendra to the ascendant, his disposition in Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer, will also give rise to Hamsa yoga, the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be excelling his father (in his qualities).
Phaldeepika-The native will get a good wife, will be blessed with children and will be more generous than his father.
Saravali-The native will be handsome, will get a beautiful wife and will be superior to his father in good qualities. He will be an orator, poet, head of the village and famous for his learning.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be highly intelligent. He will not care very much for women (perhaps those other than his wife because of his chaste nature). He will be powerful and very handsome.
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement that Jupiter in 7th house gives very good results in accordance with his significations and those of the 7th house.
Jupiter in the Eighth House
Sutras 38-43-If Jupiter is in the 8th house, the native will be shortlived, and indulge in undesirable activities. If Jupiter is associated with a malefic, the native will be sinful. If the lord of 8th is associated with a benefic and is posited in the 8th the native will be long lived. If the lord of 8th is weak, he will be short lived. If the lord of 8th is associated with a malefic the native will have illicit relations with widows after his 17th year. If Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation the native will be long lived, free from diseases a saintly person, learned and well Versed in vedas and Shastras.
Comments-It will be noted that Jupiter in his ordinary position is not considered to give good results in the 8th house. If associated with a malefic Jupiter and lord of the 8th give still worse results in regard to longevity and morals of the native. It is only when he is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, Jupiter gives beneficial results in the 8th house. We thought that Jupiter being a benefic and Dhana-Karaka will give wealth to the native as he would aspect the second house (Dhana bhava) from the eighth house, but the author of the above Sutras does not seem to think so. But this should certainly happen if the 2nd house falls in Sagittarius or Pisces because then Jupiter would be making the Dhana bhava very powerful by aspecting it.
We have expressed this view on the strength of the following sloka of Jatak Desamarga:-
(Sloka 32-chapter I)
This means that whichever bhava is aspected or occupied by its lord or by any of the benefics, the prosperity of that bhava is assured. The 8th house is an evil house (dusthana). If Jupiter as a lord of auspicious houses is in the 8th, the significations of these houses will be adversely affected.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The native will be base.
Phaldeepika-The native will be poor and will earn his livelihood by serving others. He will be long lived but indulge in sinful deeds. Saravali-The native will be long lived but will live in humiliation by serving others. He will have illicit relations with dirty women (or women of low status)
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will not live in his paternal house for a long time. He will not be in good health. He will go to heaven after his death.
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement that to be in the 8th house is not a beneficial position for Jupiter. This tallies with the views expressed by Bhrigu Sutras which has, however, made an exception when Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation and when Jupiter or the lord of the 8th is strong and associated with benefics. While Bhrigu Sutras is of the view that Jupiter in the 8th will make the native short-lived, Phaldeepika and Saravali are of the opposite view. We feel that a benefic like Jupiter if not afflicted should certainly help to enhance the longevity of the native.
Jupiter in the Ninth House
Sutras 44-45-The native will perform religious and charitable deeds, will take interest in meditation and will be pious and wealthy. He will perform religious ceremonies in his 35th year. His father will be long lived, he will be righteous and will receive respect and honour in many ways. He will give protection to many. Comments-The above Sutras are very logical and to the point Beneficial results have been attributed to Jupiter in the ninth house because as a natural benefic he improves all the good significations of this auspicious house. Still better results would be experienced if Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. If Jupiter is in one of his own signs, by being lord of 9th in the 9th, he will give rise to a powerful Rajayoga giving name, fame and wealth to the native. If Jupiter is in his sign of exaltation (Cancer), the ascendant will be Scorpio and Jupiter will be in the ninth house as lord of 2nd and 5th, giving rise to an extremely powerful yoga for prosperity and fame.
The following horoscope of Sheikh Mujibur Rehman the late President of Bangladesh is an example of this yoga-
He met a tragic end on account of other evil factors in the horoscope the study of which is beyond the scope of this small book.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The native will be devout and philosophical.
Phaldeepika-The native will be wealthy, blessed with children, famous, anxious to perform religious rites and a minister of the king.
Saravali-The native will worship family gods, will be learned, handsome, a minister of the king or commander of the army and a recognised leader.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will own a palatial mansion. He will be a favourite of the king and devotee of Brahmins. He will be loved by his near relations.
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement that Jupiter is very favourable to the native when he is situated in the ninth house.
Jupiter in the Tenth House
Sutras 46-49-The native will be religious minded and will perform righteous deeds, study Geeta, will be very able, will have widespread reputation and will be respected by the masses. If the lord of the 10th is strong, the native will perform high class religious sacrifices. If the lord of the 10th is associated with a malefic or is in the house of a malefic, there will be obstacles in his professional career and the native will indulge in evil deeds and will suffer financially.
Comments-According to above Sutras the placement of Jupiter is very beneficial for the improvement of the significations of the 10th house. If Jupiter is in the 10th house in his sign Sagittarius, Pisces will be the ascendant and Jupiter will be in the 10th as lord of the ascendant and the 10th house. If Jupiter is in Pisces, Gemini will be the ascendant and Jupiter will be in the 10th as lord of the 7th and 10th houses. For Virgo Ascendant Jupiter will be in the 10th as lord of the 4th and the 7th houses. For Sagittarius ascendant Jupiter will be in 10th as lord of the ascendant and the 4th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. Jupiter will be a good wealth giver even when he is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation) in the 10th in spite of being lord of 3rd and 6th houses, the ascendant being Libra. This view gets support from the following sloka of Bhavartha Ratnakar:
This means that Saturn is a yoga karaka planet for the Libra ascendant. Jupiter inspite of being lord of the 3rd and the 6th for this ascendant gives yoga effects. The disposition of Jupiter in the tenth house in his signs Sagittarius and Pisces gives rise to a powerful Rajayoga.
The following horoscope of former President Bhutto of Pakistan illustrates this point of view-
In the 10th house Jupiter will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Hamsa yoga, the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter. Being a natural benefic, the placement of Jupiter will also give rise to Amia yoga, the effects of which have already been 'indicated while dealing with effects of Mercury in the 10th house (Part II Chapter Four).

Brihat Jatak-The native will be wealthy.
Phaldeepika-The native will be very rich and a favourite of the king (Government). He will be of praiseworthy conduct and will enjoy great respect and reputation.
Saravali-The native will be successful in his efforts, respected and proficient in every way. He will be happy, wealthy respected and will enjoy confidence of the public and comforts of conveyances.
Chamatkar Chintamani-A. flag will fly on the top of the house of the native (sign of being head of a State). His house will be decorated with pictures. He will excel his forefathers in his reputation. He will not be happy in regard to his children.
Note-Except one evil effect about children indicated by Chamatkar Chintamani all the above authorities agree with Bhrigu Sutras about the very beneficial effects produced by Jupiter when posited in the tenth house.
Jupiter in the Eleventh House
Sutras 50-53-If Jupiter is in the eleventh house, the native will be learned, wealthy and will have lot of financial gains. In his 32nd year he will possess horses to ride on (this means he will acquire conveyances) and will have widespread reputation. If he is associated with benefics and malefics he will possess elephants and will have pronounced good luck. If Jupiter is associated with Moon, the native will have effortless financial gains.
Comments-Jupiter will be of immense good to the native according to above Sutras if he is in the eleventh. In Sutra 52 it is stated that if Jupiter is associated with benefics and malefics, the native will acquire elephants (conveyances) and enjoy increased prosperity. Jupiter is the greatest benefic amongst the planets. Another benefic in conjunction with him will therefore become a formidable beneficial combination. The learned author seems to be of the view that one or two malefics in conjunction with such a strong benefic combination cannot noticeably alter the benefic results. Further llth is an upachaya house in which even malefics produce good results. When Jupiter is in Sagittarius, Aquarius will be the ascendant and he will be in the llth as lord of 2nd and llth. When he is in Cancer, (his sign of exaltation) Virgo will be the ascendant and he will be in the llth exalted as lord of the 4th and 7th houses. These are very powerful Dhana yogas.
The following horoscope of Dr. C.D. Deshmukh former Governor of Reserve Bank and Union Finance Minister illustrates the above statement.

Brihat Jatak-The native will be prosperous.
Phaldeepika-The native will be wealthy, fearless and long lived. He will have few children but many conveyances.
Saravali-The native will enjoy enormous financial gains, comforts of conveyances and servants. He will be noble but will have few children and not much of education.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will possess articles of, gold and silver. He will be intelligent and will maintain his father. He will get five children. He will spend money not on luxuries but for the good of others.
Note-Jupiter has been held as a very beneficial planet in the eleventh by all the above authorities. The views of Phaldeepika and Saravali that the native will have few children are not maintainable as from the eleventh Jupiter will throw a benefic aspect on the 5th house (house of progeny) and should therefore bless the native to have a good number of children.
Jupiter in Twelfth House
Sutras 54-58-The native will be poor, he will be interested in studies, will have few children, will be proficient in mathematics but will be of loose character. If Jupiter is associated with a benefic or is in his own sign or sign of exaltation, the native will go to heaven after his death. If Jupiter is associated with a malefic the native will go to hell after his death. He will spend money on religious causes and will have sexual contacts with Brahmin and pregnant women.
Comments-The twelfth house is an evil house and Jupiter though a satwick planet loses all his good significations and qualities when he is posited in that house. By being in the 12th house, the significations of the good houses owned by Jupiter are also adversely affected. The 6th and 8th and 12th houses have been called evil houses but if the lord of these houses are posited in any of these houses, Vipareeta Raja yoga is caused conferring name, fame and wealth on the native. The view is supported by the following Sloka of Uttarakalamrit:-
This means that if any one of the following three yogas, namely (a) lord of the 8th occupying the 12th or 6th; (b) lord of 6th being placed in the 8th or 12th; (c) lord of 12th being posited in the 8th or the 6th; (d) the said three lords being connected in any way, by mutual interchange of places, mutual aspect or conjunction, and are at the same time Tree from such relation with other planets, the person born will become an emperor over other kings and blessed with fame and wealth. We are of the view that on the analogy of the above principles the lord of the 12th in the 12th, the lord of the 8th in the 8th, and lord of the 6th in the 6th, should also give the same results. If Jupiter fulfils any of the conditions mentioned above, he can be very beneficial even in the 12th, 8th or 6th houses.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The native will be a villain.
Phaldeepika-The native will be disliked by other people. The native will also be vulgar in his speech. He will be childless, will indulge in sinful deeds, will be lazy and one who serves others. Saravali-The native will be lazy, without good speech and unfortunate and will have a feeling of bitterness towards others. Chamatkar Chintamani-The native in spite of spending on good causes will not get any praise. He will be stupid and will incur loss of wealth. "
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement with Bhrigu Sutras that Jupiter gives only inauspicious results if situated in the 12th house. They have, however, expressed their views in their own way.
