Jupiter's Aspect (Drishti) — Which Houses It Falls On and Its Results
The rule of aspect
In Vedic astrology every planet casts a full aspect on the 7th sign/house from itself — Jupiter included. An aspect means the planet pours its energy on a house without sitting there; after conjunction it is the largest channel of influence. Jupiter additionally holds the 5th and 9th aspects — which make it special.
The flavour of Jupiter's aspect
Whichever house Jupiter beholds takes the colour of expansion, wisdom and grace — a well-placed Jupiter adorns that area, an afflicted one adds challenge there. The final word comes only after weighing the house's karaka, its lord and the planets seated in it.
Fruit of the special aspects
Jupiter's 5th and 9th are trine-glances — reckoned a shower of nectar, watering the houses of children-learning and fortune-dharma. Whichever house Jupiter beholds, its damage usually shrinks — hence the saying that Jupiter's glance removes a hundred thousand flaws.
Practical keys
Aspects are always counted by sign, and the closer the degrees, the denser the effect. See in your chart which houses Jupiter beholds — those areas stir first in its dasha periods. The house-wise results of Jupiter are detailed on this encyclopedia's Jupiter-house pages.
