According to Vedic astrology, Jupiter is exalted in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Cancer, which in simple words means that Jupiter gains maximum strength when placed in Cancer compared to its placement in all the other signs. Exalted Jupiter is associated with many good things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that exalted Jupiter always works positively in a horoscope and it brings good results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and exalted 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 exalted simply relates to the strength of Jupiter in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of the Jupiter in a horoscope. Accordingly exalted 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 exalted Jupiter is placed in different houses of a horoscope.
Exalted Jupiter in 1st House : Benefic exalted Jupiter placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with good results related to his marriage, profession, finances, health, fame, spiritual progress and many other things. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic influence can especially prove very good for the professional aspect of the native and it can bless the native with success through many fields of profession depending on the overall horoscope of a native in question. Benefic exalted Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope can also render a post of power and authority in some government or private organization to the native under its influence. The same benefic placement can also render a post of authority and respect to the native under its influence through the field of religion or spiritualism.
Some natives under the effect of this benefic influence can become interested in the field of law and they may engage in this field under various profiles, if their overall horoscopes support it. For example, the presence of benefic exalted Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope can make the native interested in the study and practice of law and at the same time, if benefic Saturn is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the native may complete his study in law and he may become a professional lawyer. The presence of benefic Rahu in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius and that of benefic Ketu in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini can further improve this equation. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may earn more success, profits and recognition through the field of law and he may practice in a higher court of law.
At the same time, if a benefic Mars is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn when benefic exalted Jupiter is placed in the first house of this horoscope and all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become much better. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may achieve very good amount of success through the field of law and he may become one of the most successful and recognized lawyers in some higher court of law. At the same time, if benefic Moon is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with benefic exalted Jupiter, the results may become wonderful now.
The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may get elevated to the post of a Judge in some higher court of law after practicing as a lawyer for some years, in the same court of law. Moving on, the addition of benefic exalted Venus to the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces can provide the final push to this equation and as a result, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets including a benefic combination of exalted Jupiter and Moon in the first house of his horoscope may achieve the ultimate. Such native may get elevated to the post of a judge in the highest court of law of a country and if his overall horoscope is supportive, he may also have the honor of serving as the chief justice of a country. It means that the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become the chief justice of the apex court of a country, if his overall horoscope and running times are supportive.
Some other natives under the effect of such benefic exalted Jupiter may achieve the same post of power and authority through politics and some of them may achieve it through some government job. For example, if benefic exalted Jupiter is present in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, benefic Moon is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is present in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become an administrative officer. At the same time, if benefic Venus is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the results may become even better. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may directly get selected for a post of high authority in some administrative department of the government, through some competitive exams. Such native may witness a very good and successful career through this field of profession and he may benefit in many ways through his job.
However this native may achieve the best possible results through this field of profession if benefic debilitated Mars is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with benefic exalted Jupiter when all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope. This is due to the reason that the presence of benefic exalted Jupiter in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer can cancel the debilitation status of such benefic debilitation Mars as Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer and the presence of a benefic exalted planet along with a benefic debilitated planet can cancel the debilitation status of the debilitated planet. Hence such benefic exalted Jupiter may cancel the debilitation status of Mars and together these two benefic planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer. The native blessed by this Neechbhang Rajyoga may witness wonderful results through his field of profession and he may serve on top of his department before his retirement. Such native may have a wonderful career full of important postings and achievements and he may also receive some formal award for his excellent services to his department.
On the other hand, the presence of malefic exalted Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his marriage, profession, health, overall reputation and many other things. Accordingly the natives under the effect of such malefic influence may have to face some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some natives suffering from such malefic exalted Jupiter may have to wait till late or very late in their lives, in order to establish themselves professionally. Some other such natives may have to face losses, setbacks, failures, bad name, litigations, court cases or even a term of imprisonment by virtue of this malefic influence.
For example, if a malefic combination of exalted Jupiter and debilitated Mars is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native under the effect of such malefic combination may have to face many issues related to his field of profession. It should be noted that such malefic combination of exalted Jupiter and debilitated Mars may not form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the horoscope as malefic exalted Jupiter may not cancel the debilitation status of such debilitated Mars. On the contrary, such malefic exalted Jupiter can seriously afflict the already weakened Mars in the first house of this horoscope and as a result, the native may have to face problems in many spheres of his life including his sphere of profession. As already explained by me in the topic named Neechbhang Rajyoga, the presence of a malefic exalted planet or that of the malefic planetary lord of the sign of debilitation of a planet, along with such debilitated planet will not cancel the debilitation status of that planet.
This is because a malefic planet can’t provide strength to a debilitated planet and on the contrary, it can seriously afflict that already weakened planet, which means even more weakness to that planet, which in this case is Mars. Hence the native under the effect of this malefic combination of exalted Jupiter and debilitated Mars in the first house of his horoscope may not be able to establish himself professionally till late in his life. He may also have to change his job many times in his life due to unfortunate reasons and he may also have to remain jobless many times in his life. In extreme cases, where such malefic combination of exalted Jupiter and debilitated Mars is strong and the overall horoscope of the native under consideration is also negative, the native may have to face bad reputation, defame, court cases, or even a term of imprisonment through his field of profession.
For example, if a malefic combination of exalted Jupiter and debilitated Mars is present in the first house of a horoscope, malefic Moon is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius along with malefic Rahu and malefic debilitated Saturn is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the results may be very bad. The native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may have engage in a life of crime and he may have to face long term imprisonment by virtue of being convicted for a crime committed by him. At the same time, if malefic debilitated Venus is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may die because of a capital punishment, in a police encounter or by virtue of a planned attack on his life, by some other criminals.
