JUPITER (Brihaspati)
Jupiter is the most
auspicious and beneficent planet. Wealthy and
influential individuals generally possess a strong
Jupiter in their horoscopes, and this reflects the rich
rewards of positive karma accumulated in previous lives.
Jupiter governs religious activity, financial affairs,
personal happiness, and teaching. Jupiter also
determines one's spiritual orientation. It is associated
with the color yellow, the bodily fluids, education,
pilgrimage places, and transcendental wisdom. The
Sanskrit name for Jupiter is "guru,"
indicating a source of divine knowledge and spiritual
insight.
If Jupiter is exalted
one will be a leader of men, powerful, respected,
although susceptible to anger. But if the position of
Jupiter in a person's horoscope is debilitated Jupiter
can cause personal unhappiness, egotism, sloth, and
legal problems. LIGHT BLUE is the cosmic color
transmitted by yellow sapphires and other natural yellow
gems. Light blue color waves, being very cold, relate to
the ethereal nature and are helpful in curing diseases
of the glands, the fat system and bodily cavities.
Jupiter astral talismans are known to enhance spiritual
understanding, facilitate pregnancy and childbirth,
improve marital relations, increase one's fortune, and
help balance the endocrine system. Jupiter jewels are
known to be especially favorable to women by increasing
their happiness and contentment.
GEMSTONES: Jupiter's
energy is transmitted by natural yellow sapphires,
topaz, citrine, heliodor, and other flawless (eye-clean)
yellow gems.
NOTE: As Jupiter is
incompatible with Mercury and Venus, Jupiter gems such
as yellow sapphire should not be used with emerald or
diamond. Specifically designed talismans like the
Navaratna (nine gems setting) are an exception to this
principle.
The particular hue or
type of yellow color recommended for each
social-religious-economic station of society are listed
as follows:
1) Religious
practitioners, scientists and educators should use light
yellow;
2) Soldiers,
administrators and bureaucrats should use orangy yellow;
3) Farmers, bankers and
traders should use golden yellow;
4) Servants, laborers
and workers should use greenish yellow.
