When exalted Jupiter is placed in the first house in a horoscope, Cancer rises in the ascendant. Jupiter generally works as a partly benefic and partly malefic planet for horoscopes with Cancer ascendant, though the benefic part may be higher in general. The concept of a planet exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses it rules in a horoscope has been explained in the chapter ‘gemstones for house lords’ of the book ‘Gemstones – Magic or Science?’.
Jupiter may turn more benefic when it is joined by benefic planets and it may turn more malefic when joined by malefic planets. Apart from that, it may turn more benefic or malefic, depending on the overall theme of horoscope. The concept of a planet turning more benefic/malefic due to influences of other benefic/malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by exalted Jupiter in the first house when it is benefic. Such benefic exalted Jupiter can bless the native with good results related to marriage, profession, recognition, authority, finances, spiritual growth, father and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope. Benefic exalted Jupiter in the first house can bless the native with success through wide variety of professional spheres, depending on his overall horoscope. It can bless the native with a post of authority in government, through job or through politics.
Taking an example, suppose benefic exalted Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer. Benefic exalted Sun is placed in the tenth house in Aries, Mercury is placed in the eleventh house in Taurus and benefic Venus is placed in the eighth house in Aquarius. In this case, the native may get selected as a high rank revenue officer or administrative officer and he may enjoy a good career. For instance, if Mars is placed in the eighth house in Aquarius with Venus, benefic Moon is placed in the second house in Leo and Saturn is placed in the eleventh house in Taurus with Mercury, the native may become a revenue officer. The native may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in revenue services and he may come across very good amount of success, authority and recognition as a revenue officer.
Considering another variation, suppose the recent placements of Mars, Moon and Saturn are annulled. Suppose benefic exalted Mars is placed in the seventh house in Capricorn, exalted Saturn is placed in the fourth house in Libra and benefic Moon is placed in the ninth house in Pisces. In this case, the native may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in administrative services and he may witness very good amount of success, authority and recognition. The native may serve at some very important posts during his career and he may accomplish a lot as an administrative officer.
Benefic exalted Jupiter in the first house can also make the native interested in the field of law and the native may achieve success through this field, if his overall horoscope is supportive. Taking an example, suppose benefic exalted Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer, Saturn is placed in the eleventh house in Taurus, benefic Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Sagittarius and benefic Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Gemini.
In this case, the native may engage in the field of law and he may witness good amount of success, money and recognition as a lawyer. If benefic Sun is placed in the seventh house in Capricorn, Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Aquarius and benefic exalted Venus is placed in the ninth house in Pisces, the equation may become better. The native may enjoy good results as a lawyer for some years, he may then get elevated to the post of a judge and he may enjoy success and authority. If benefic Moon is placed in the tenth house in Aries, and benefic Mars is placed in the ninth house in Pisces with Venus, the equation may improve. The native may become a judge in a higher or the highest court of law in his country and he may accomplish a lot during his career. He may deliver some landmark decisions on some important issues during his career.
Apart from these, benefic exalted Jupiter in the first house can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Jupiter in the first house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to health, lifespan, profession, reputation, finances, marriage and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope. Looking at profession, such malefic exalted Jupiter can delay the professional success of the native, it may trouble him with financial losses, setbacks, failures, bad reputation, court cases, litigations and even imprisonment in some cases.
Taking an example, suppose malefic exalted Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer along with debilitated Mars and malefic Ketu, and Rahu is placed in the seventh house in Capricorn. Since Jupiter is partly malefic, Ketu is duly malefic and Mars is benefic but very weak due to debilitation, the overall combination may turn malefic. Mars represents the fifth and tenth house in this horoscope and it is afflicted by two malefic planets. Hence the native may face problems related to profession, finances, reputation, love life, children and spiritual growth among other problems.
Looking at profession, the native may not achieve much success in his profession and he may change many professions during his lifetime. He may also witness financial losses and bad reputation through his profession. If malefic exalted Mercury is placed in the third house in Virgo, a combination of debilitated Sun and malefic exalted Saturn is placed in the fourth house in Libra, Venus is placed in the sixth house in Sagittarius and Moon is placed in the twelfth house in Gemini, the equation may become worse. The native may not witness professional success throughout his life and he may remain jobless for periods or more than 6 months, many times during his life. He may also face financial losses, bad reputation and litigations through his profession.
Apart from these, malefic exalted Jupiter in the first house of horoscope can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope.
