Nature
The great benefic (guru): expansive, sattvic, the teacher of the gods. Wherever Jupiter looks, classical doctrine says, things improve — its aspects are counted as blessings.
Significations (karakatvas)
Karaka of knowledge and happiness: wisdom, teachers and gurus, children, wealth and fortune, dharma and law, husband (in a woman's chart, per classical convention), liver, generosity, faith. Where Jupiter stands, life expands and asks for meaning.

Bṛhaspati in the 1st house (तनु भाव)
Tanu BhāvaDigbala — Jupiter's directional strength: wisdom, optimism and moral presence define the person; classical texts promise respect, learning and a benevolent life arc.
Bṛhaspati in the 2nd house (धन भाव)
Dhana BhāvaThe blessed treasury: wealth, refined speech and a value system worth inheriting; family life enriched by generosity and learning.
Bṛhaspati in the 3rd house (सहज भाव)
Sahaja BhāvaWisdom in effort: courage guided by ethics, fortunate siblings, writing and teaching through media; initiative that uplifts rather than conquers.
Bṛhaspati in the 4th house (बन्धु भाव)
Bandhu/Sukha BhāvaThe happy home: domestic contentment, property, vehicles and maternal blessings; education flourishes; an inner life furnished with gratitude.
Bṛhaspati in the 5th house (पुत्र भाव)
Putra BhāvaThe purva-punya house welcomes its karaka: intelligence, children, mantra and merit from past good deeds; a classical seat of counselors and teachers.
Bṛhaspati in the 6th house (अरि भाव)
Ari/Ripu BhāvaGrace in service: healing professions, generous employers, protection in disputes; obstacles shrink before patient wisdom — though expansion needs watching in matters of health routine.
Bṛhaspati in the 7th house (युवति भाव)
Yuvatī/Kalatra BhāvaThe blessed alliance: a wise, principled partner and fortunate partnerships; growth through marriage and public dealings, with counsel as the bond.
Bṛhaspati in the 8th house (रन्ध्र भाव)
Randhra/Āyu BhāvaWisdom in the depths: inheritance, insight into life's mysteries and protection through crises — the classical 'long-lived' placement; transformation arrives as a teacher, not a thief.
Bṛhaspati in the 9th house (धर्म भाव)
Dharma/Bhāgya BhāvaJupiter enthroned in dharma: fortune, faith, teachers and far horizons align; among the most auspicious placements in the whole system — luck earned by living one's principles.
Bṛhaspati in the 10th house (कर्म भाव)
Karma BhāvaThe respected professional: career in teaching, law, counsel or leadership with ethical weight; reputation compounds like well-invested trust.
Bṛhaspati in the 11th house (लाभ भाव)
Lābha BhāvaThe house of gains hosts the great benefic: abundant income, principled networks, elder mentors and ambitions that lift many boats at once.
Bṛhaspati in the 12th house (व्यय भाव)
Vyaya BhāvaThe sage's Jupiter: generosity in giving, sanctuary in spiritual practice, fortune in foreign and charitable spheres; expenditure itself becomes a form of grace.
