Retrograde Jupiter in Third House in Virgo
When retrograde Jupiter is placed in the third house of a horoscope in Virgo, Cancer rises in the ascendant. Jupiter rules the sixth and ninth house. In general, it is partly benefic and partly malefic here, though the benefic part is higher, in most cases. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science?’.
Retrograde Jupiter in the third house of horoscope in Virgo is benefic in many cases, though it may turn malefic in some cases. It may happen when such Jupiter is influenced by one or more malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope. The concept of a benefic planet turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Jupiter in the third house of a horoscope in Virgo can bless the native with good results related to marriage (female), husband, father, siblings, colleagues, creativity, spiritual growth, profession, finances, reputation, fame, authority, recognition and several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such retrograde Jupiter can render various types of benefits to the native, related to or through his/her siblings, marriage (female), husband and/or father. Considering father, his father may be a rich man, a celebrity, an officer in government or a powerful politician. The native may enjoy many benefits because of his father’s money, influence and/or status. Such retrograde Jupiter can also render creative and/or spiritual growth to the native. Considering marriage (female), she may get married to a man who may be rich, a celebrity, an officer in government, a powerful politician, a successful businessman, and/or a citizen of a foreign country. The native may witness several benefits due to or through her husband and/or his family members. He may play an important role in various spheres of her life. The native may settle in a foreign country on the basis of her marriage, if her overall horoscope and running times are supportive.
Looking at profession, such retrograde Jupiter can help the native achieve success as an astrologer, tantric, psychic, spiritual guru, healer, religious guru, teacher, preacher, consultant, researcher, analyst, actor, singer, musician, writer, dancer, sportsman, artist, architect, designer, developer, professional dealing in education industry, coaching, computer, book, IT, food, health, pharma, finance, matrimonial, television, music, sports, media, fitness, travel, hotel, airline, telecom, internet industry or some other type of professional, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose retrograde Jupiter is placed in the third house of a horoscope in Virgo. Benefic Mars is placed in the eleventh house in Taurus with benefic Rahu, Ketu is placed in the fifth house in Scorpio, debilitated Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Aries, Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Aquarius, and benefic Venus is placed in the seventh house in Capricorn. In this case, the native may engage in liquor industry. He may set up a liquor producing unit, and he may come across good amount of success, money and recognition.
If benefic Sun is placed in the ninth house in Pisces, and benefic Moon is placed in the first house in Cancer, the equation may become better. In this case, native’s father may have a well-established liquor business, worth in multimillions. The native may inherit such business from his father, he may run it, and he may come across very good amount of success, money and recognition through it. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may have his net worth in billions, by his age of 55 or 60.

Jupiter rules the sixth and ninth house, and it is placed in the third house.

Malefic Rahu is placed in the ninth house in Pisces, benefic Venus is placed in the tenth house in Aries, benefic Moon is placed in the seventh house in Capricorn, benefic Mars is placed in the fifth house in Scorpio, and malefic Mercury is placed in the twelfth house in Gemini.

If Sun is placed in the twelfth house in Gemini with Mercury, and malefic Saturn is placed in the ninth house in Pisces with Rahu, the equation may become more troublesome.
