Jupiter: The Great Guru, Foundation of Fortune and Success in Life

In Vedic astrology, Jupiter is revered as the Deva Guru and regarded as the universal source of wisdom, dharma, ethics and auspicious fortune. The planet bestows positivity akin to sunlight, guidance like a teacher and protection reminiscent of elders. Jupiter is lord of Sagittarius and Pisces, exalted in Cancer and debilitated in Capricorn. Peepal tree, yellow color, gold, turmeric, chickpeas, saffron, guru, father, priest, learning, worship and ritual are considered its key symbols.
