Guru (Jupiter)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Guru (Jupiter) is the great benefic, signifying wisdom, expansion and guidance. It rules Dhanu and Meena, is exalted in Karka at 5° and debilitated in Makara at 5°. Its mahadasha runs sixteen years, the second longest. Guru's house placement shows where growth comes easily and where a person naturally teaches.
Karaka: Dhanakaraka and putrakaraka — wisdom, growth, and children. Nature: Benefic. Mahadasha: 16 years.
