“Whatever defect I have — of eye, of heart, of mind, or whatever excess there is — may Brihaspati (Jupiter) remedy it. Gracious to us be the Lord of the world.”
– YAJUR VEDA 36.2
“Yes, Jupiter in Indian astrology is best known as the ‘Lord of the world’. Ganesha has enlightened me with this unique combination of Jupiter and the Vedic hymn:”
“Many are the gifts of His Spirit,”
“His blessings — never exhausted,”
For He showers His worshippers
with fullness of knowledge and light.
“Jupiter has a big-bellied body with a broad, prominent chest and a voice like a lion. His body, hair and eyes are of a tawny hue that shines like pure gold. Predominantly kapha in constitution and fond of sweets, he wears yellow clothes and yellow flowers. The Brahmana Jupiter knows the Vedas and is an expert in all forms of knowledge. He possesses all virtues and is modest, forgiving and happy. His mind and senses are disciplined and his intellect subtle. Attached to ritual, he follows the path of righteousness. His metal is gold and gem topaz.”
“Lord of the body’s fat, of the north-east, of Thursday, and of the constellations Sagittarius and Pisces, Jupiter is known as the Lord of worship and the guru. His titles are teacher of the immortals, the soul, the advisor, the lord of speech, the golden, the creator, the irresistible, he who wears yellow, the young, the worthy of worship throughout the world, the compassionate, creator of polity, remover of oppression, and the peaceable.”
“Dear readers, I have given you an excellent image of Jupiter as seen in Vedic Indian astrology! Now let me elucidate the uses, benefits and influences of Jupiter in simple and plain language so that you get the most mileage of megabytes:”
“1. Essentially, it is the planet of good luck, or the greater fortune.”

“3. It is the planet of the three Ws, namely, wealth and wisdom and worship, and obviously that’s saying a great deal.”
“4. Jupiter signifies a robust and even rumbustious and boisterous attitude to life. In other words, Jupiter is both cheerful and noisy.”
“5. This is the planet of expansion – that means weight problems, sincerity, the readiness and ability to learn as well as teach, a truly grand vision of life, easy access to money, popularity, power, position, prosperity, the four Ps that I like to use.”
6. Comforts and luxuries fall under the bracket of both Jupiter and Venus. Vehicles and pomp and flair for doing things with savoir faire also come in the ambit of Jupiter and Venus.

Colours will be royal purple, yellow, indigo and red in combination. Jupiter also stands for treasures, wealth and ancient language. His day is Thursday, and his flower, the chrysanthemum.”
