Let me reiterate to the reader that Astrology is like a game of chess. Its a set of predefined rules to understand one' life irrespective of time. Ofcourse we seem to obsess only about the future as the past is done, and dealt with. Discussions regarding "Past Events", its usefulness to see things in retrospect, nature of memory and the way it is, is another blog which I plan to write soon in the future.
Jupiter does not mean that the physical planet is influencing us in a certain way. Jupiter is used as a means to interpret certain aspects of our life. Astrology uses the planetary system for interpretation. Its not that the planets define our lives, its our lives that define the exact time of birth, which in turn uses the seven planets and the two nodes (rahu/ketu) as keys for decryption. Algorithm for decryption, is our own subconscious mind.
Jupiter, now lets take its scientific properties. Its the largest planet in our solar system, which means exerts the most powerful gravitational force. It takes approximately one year to cross the distance covered by an angle of 30 degrees, which means, it takes one year for it to move from one constellation to the next. Also its the 5th planet from the sun.
Lets apply these concepts to astrology. Life events as such are primarily classified as "good" and "bad". Life as such is a duality. We have a mixture of positive and the negative. Everyone in human form have to endure a percentage of both. Life lessons are going to be a mixed bag of ups and downs (lets disregard souls that are still in human birth but transcended this duality, they are here for different reasons completely). So the first thing to do, to form the encryption keys is to classify certain planets as good and certain as bad. Meaning we need to use certain planets to indicate all the positives in life and certain to indicate the negatives. There are some which are neutral, but will deal with those later.
Jupiter is classified to represent some good aspects of life. These aspects being general prosperity, health, wealth, spouse, offsprings, career, you name it, the good nature of life is interpreted by Jupiter's positioning in a natal chart. Sometimes if jupiter is in a great position, it indicates that the native will in general have a good life, attract grace and luck. Infact if its placed so well (for ex gajha kesari yoga), then one need not even look at other planets in a horoscope.
Life lessons are based on time cycles. Based on the native's birth chart, we can find out the timing of certain good and bad events. Besides the positioning of jupiter at the time of birth, what we should really consider is the current transition of jupiter. The houses that in general represent the positives of life i.e 2,4,5, 7,9 and 10 are considered very good if the current transit of jupiter falls under one of those houses. If it does, it enhances the basic nature of that house. For example house 2, encourages birth of a child, or marriage as 2 represents the family. House 4- increase in wealth etc.
If the jupiter transit places it in one of the negative houses, it indicates that the time period will not be so favorable for the native. The native may have to face many obstacles to achieve his goals. Sometimes results will not yield until the next positive transitioning of Jupiter.
Knowing this one can plan certain things in life, align desires based on time. For example if i want to build a house, I can start around the time Jupiter is approaching house 4. This would mean that the effort would be easier and harmonious for the native. Trying to do the same when Jupiter is transitioning house -6 may result in loss of money, or cheated in transaction etc.
As said before, life lessons are already set, certain things cannot be avoided, I may be forced to build a house when the time is not favorable. Facing those obstacles is my chosen life lesson. But the wise can still cheat time. I can avoid it by all means if I believe in my decryption keys and my native chart.
Jupiter's favorable Transitions : House -2, House -4, House -5, House-7, House-9 and House -10
Rest are unfavorable.
