Guru (Jupiter/Brihaspati) is the most benefic planet in Vedic astrology, known as the 'Great Teacher' or 'Devaguru' (teacher of the gods). Jupiter represents wisdom, knowledge, dharma, fortune, and expansion. It is the natural significator of the 2nd house (wealth), 5th house (children/education), 9th house (luck/dharma), and 11th house (gains). A strong Jupiter blesses with wisdom, wealth, good children, spiritual inclination, and overall prosperity. Jupiter's transit through different signs creates major life shifts - the famous 'Jupiter Transit' is one of the most watched astrological events. For women, Jupiter also represents the husband in the birth chart.
