General Fortune (Role of Jupiter)
Jupiter and the Sun when strong, indicate the overall happiness in a nativity including elevation of the soul. So to say, happiness and spiritual attainments in life are indicated by the position of Jupiter and the Sun in a nativity.
The Sun is the significator of father, status in life, vitality, soul and is secondary significator of male progeny.
Jupiter, the planet of "Divine Grace" is significator for all the good things in life. it is the lord of the ninth sign of the zodiac and natural significator for bhagya (Fortune). Its main significations are blessing one with auspiciousness, sons, wealth, good conduct, ministership and good health by giving a healthy liver which is the factory of human body for nourishment of all its parts. It also represents charitable disposition.
The learned Kalayana Verma in his book 'Saravali' stated that Jupiter rules auspiciousness, virtue, powess, preceptorship, deputation, gold, social position, gains, residence and sons. Varahamihira in Brihat Jataka says that Jupiter represents wisdom and happiness. It is moral and controls treasury. Savavarth Chintamani, states that whenever in a nativity Jupiter is in fall, the native concerned is less virile, grieved and is in adversity, mean in conduct, dunce, bad end, penury, serves others, bereft of auspiciousness, memory, purity etc. Experience shows that one is not only grieved but crosses the border of morality/wisdom to achieve one's ends and becomes selfish and unsatisfied. One is intemperate. Efforts made do not give desired results. Both physical and mental sufferings are caused to the nativity. It is especially harmful in the case of females as it is the significator of "husband" in a female nativity. Females post marital life depends on the position of Jupiter in her natal chart to a large extent. The life may seems to be settled otherwise but during the main/sub period of a weak and afflicted Jupiter, it suddenly becomes shattered or crumbled.
The parents of the children born with weak and afflicted Jupiter will have to work very hard from the very beginning in forming the right attitude of kindness and helping/serving others. Righteous conduct is the key to all remedial measures.
