According to Vedic astrology, Jupiter is debilitated in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Capricorn, which in simple words means that Jupiter becomes the weakest when placed in Capricorn compared to its placement in all the other signs. Debilitated Jupiter is associated with many bad things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that debilitated Jupiter always works negatively in a horoscope and it brings bad results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and debilitated Jupiter can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration.
The word debilitated simply relates to the strength of Jupiter in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of Jupiter in a horoscope. Accordingly debilitated Jupiter placed in different houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic results depending on the nature of Jupiter as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope. We will now discuss some of these benefic as well as malefic effects which can be experienced when debilitated Jupiter is placed in different houses of a horoscope. While discussing some of these effects, it should be noted that due to its debilitation, Jupiter alone generally doesn’t provide strong positive or negative results and it needs to be supported by other positive or negative planets in order to produce such results. Hence we will discuss good or bad results given by debilitated Jupiter in combination with other positive or negative planets in a horoscope.
Benefic Jupiter in 1st House : When benefic in nature, debilitated Jupiter placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to marriage, profession, finances, health, reputation, authority, spiritual growth and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may experience some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic debilitated Jupiter can especially prove good for the profession of the native due to which the natives under its influence may engage in a number of professional fields and they may achieve the amount of success through them, as allowed by their overall horoscopes. When joined by other strong benefic planets, benefic debilitated Jupiter can bless the native with a post of power and authority in the house of government through job or through politics and when engaged in the formation of Neechbhang Rajyoga, it can bless the native with top class authority.
For example, if benefic debilitated Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, benefic Saturn is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini and benefic Mars is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native may join police force. The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets may get selected in police force and he may experience good results through this field of profession. However the combined effect of these benefic influences alone may not be able to bless the native with a post of authority in police force; and more benefic influences may be required. If benefic Venus is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra and benefic Sun is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo when benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses, the equation may become much more positive. The native blessed by all these benefic planets may get selected for a post of authority in police force and he may earn good amount of money, success and recognition as a police officer.
At the same time, if benefic Moon is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn along with benefic debilitated Jupiter; and benefic Mercury is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, much more positive energy may be added to the equation. The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in police force by means of success in some competitive exams held for selection in police force. The combined effect of such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets mentioned in this example can bless the native with a very good career as a police officer and the native may also get blessed with some very prestigious postings during his career. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of such benefic influences may achieve even better results through this field of profession. For example, the presence of benefic Rahu in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn along with benefic debilitated Jupiter and Moon; and the presence of benefic Ketu in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer can bless the native with some very authoritative and prestigious deputations in the top crime fighting agencies of his country.
Considering one more case, if benefic debilitated Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, benefic Venus is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native may become a politician. The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets may actively engage in politics and he may witness good amount of success through this field, particularly after his age of 35. At the same time, if benefic Mars is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo along with benefic Rahu; and benefic Ketu is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, the equation may become much more positive. The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets may earn very good amount of money, fame and recognition through the field of politics. The combined effect of such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets can also bless the native with a post of authority in the house of government and the native may become a minister in the national government of a country or he may become the chief minister of a state.
In the same horoscope, if benefic Saturn is placed in the first house along with benefic debilitated Jupiter and benefic exalted Moon is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope when all other planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the results may become wonderful. The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other benefic planets may become the home minister of a country and he may even become the prime minister or president of a country if the running times are favorable. This is due to the fact that the presence of benefic Saturn in the first house of this horoscope along with benefic debilitated Jupiter may cancel the debilitation status of Jupiter as Saturn is the lord of the sign of debilitation of Jupiter, which is Capricorn. Hence the debilitation status of Jupiter may get cancelled and together these two benefic planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the first house of this horoscope, which may bless the native with wonderful results through the field of politics, as indicated by his overall horoscope. Hence the native blessed by such benefic debilitated Jupiter and other planets may become the head of state of a country and he may enjoy great amount of power, authority and recognition through the field of politics.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to marriage, profession, finances, health, reputation and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this malefic influence may have to face some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such malefic debilitated Jupiter can especially prove bad for the professional sphere of the native and it can create many problems in this sphere. Some natives under its effect may not be able to find suitable jobs till late in their lives and they may have to engage in jobs which may be unsuitable and low paying compared to their education or their abilities. Some other natives under the effect of such malefic debilitated Jupiter may not find permanent professions or jobs till late in their lives and they may have to keep changing or losing their jobs on account of one reason or the other.
Yet some other natives may not be able to find any jobs at all and they may have to remain jobless for periods of many months, many times in their lives. This problem can intensify if such malefic debilitated Jupiter is supported by some other malefic influences in a horoscope due to which the native may have to remain jobless for periods of more than a year, many times in his life. In extreme cases when supported by other malefic influences, malefic debilitated Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope can make the native remain jobless for a continuous period of 5 years or even more. Such natives may not find any job at all despite their best efforts and they may have to remain jobless.
Malefic debilitated Jupiter in the first house can also bring losses and bad reputation to the native, through his field of profession. For example, if malefic debilitated Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, malefic Ketu is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries and malefic Rahu is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native may have to face bad reputation through his field of profession. At the same time, if malefic Mercury is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn along with malefic debilitated Jupiter; and malefic Sun is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, the problem may intensify. The native under the combined effect of such malefic debilitated Jupiter and other malefic planets may get involved in a scandal through his field of profession, he may have to face much bad reputation through such scandal, he may have to face a court case and he may also have to face punishment through such court case, if there is no grace saving planet in his horoscope.
