Role Of Jupiter In Our Life

First of all, one should understand no planet is good or bad; no planet gives automated/predefined results. So, one should try to understand the reasons behind any planetary position allotted in the original horoscope. You get all planetary positions as a result of your past life deeds. In my opinion, one should care more about negative planets and try to understand how to mitigate their harmful impact of the same in the present life. This is the basic Theory of Karma. The same rule applies to Jupiter as well. If you have mishandled/abused some particular traits/significations of Jupiter in your previous life/s, you are bound to get a bad Jupiter in your birth chart/horoscope. Now understand the role of Jupiter.

The role of Jupiter is mainly positive in our life, provided we know how to use it. Jupiter is considered as Guru (Teacher) of all Devta planets, Sun, Moon, and Mars. Jupiter is a planet of blessings, optimism, success, and generosity, provided it is well placed in your horoscope. But a negative Jupiter can make a person overspending, lazy, loving luxury, disobedient and over-confident. 

Jupiter is the most evident or pratyaksha God in the horoscope. Jupiter is called the Jeeva or soul of a person in Astrology. Jupiter relates with soul searching or aatm- manthan of a native, which makes it the most important planet of the horoscope. Jupiter is an important planet because apart from owning two houses and getting exalted and debilitated in different zodiac signs, it has been considered a karaka of the five houses in a horoscope. It simply means that Jupiter influences ten houses out of the total 12 houses of a birth chart. This speaks about how important the placement of Jupiter in a birth chart is for a person. 

It be new but interesting to know that in the Vedic era when children were sent to Gurukul as early as at the age of 5-6 years. The rishi or the teacher used to analyze the position of Jupiter in the child’s kundli to decide their intellectual levels. Placement of Jupiter was the main criterion to allot the class or level of learning.  
 How to know Jupiter is bad or good
Ask yourself to understand if your Jupiter is good or bad in your horoscope. You check traits in you, and you would know if your Jupiter is bad or good in birth chart/horoscope. An astrologer can also tell you if Jupiter is bad or good in a horoscope. But you can also get an idea if you have a good or bad Jupiter in birth chart. Assess your own self considering the below traits:
1.    Are you generous? Do your ideas convert into positive results and profits? 
2.    Do you perform your religious duties? 
3.    Is it your nature to help others?
4.    Can you judge your partial and impartial nature towards others and vice-versa?
