Jupiter signifies knowledge (Vidya), wealth, morality, and dharma (righteousness). It is the karaka (significator) of education, children, higher learning, and prosperity. Jupiter is the largest and most benefic planet in Vedic astrology, known as the "teacher" of the zodiac. It governs higher education, philosophy, and expansive growth. It represents the ability to see the bigger picture, show generosity, and maintain optimism.

A strong and well-placed Jupiter in a horoscope enhances wisdom, prosperity, and spiritual understanding. Such individuals are likely to excel in academics, display moral integrity, and attract wealth and good fortune. A strong Jupiter also brings harmonious relationships, especially in marriage, and supports success in teaching, law, finance, or spiritual professions. It fosters generosity, leadership, and the ability to inspire others.

If Jupiter is weak or afflicted, it can lead to a lack of direction, financial instability, or moral confusion. Individuals may face challenges in education, delays in marriage, or struggles in having children. A weak Jupiter can also manifest as overindulgence, laziness, or impracticality. It may result in poor decision-making, lack of spiritual growth, or difficulties in maintaining wealth and relationships.
