Jupiter as Ghatni Karaka

Please check this introductory article to understand the theme and purpose behind this series - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/NewSeries-PlanetsasJaiminiKarakas-IntroductoryArticle


Let’s cover this article under following points -


Jupiter - Jupiter is the most benefic planet and it represents all the auspicious things like Knowledge, Wisdom, Law, Guru, Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy, Literature, Expansion of Things and Elderly People. For a girl, Jupiter also represents Husband.


Ghatni Karaka - It is planet with the 6th highest degree. It is known as Ghatni Karaka or Significator of Obstacles. This planet and its position in chart will indicate towards kind of obstacles and disputes coming into your life. 


Results of Jupiter as Ghatni Karaka - As I see, following results can be prominent when Jupiter becomes someone’s Ghatni Karaka -


1.Jupiter is a planet of wisdom, knowledge, divine Guru and guidance. It is the most benefic planet. It is also the planet of religion, philosophy, literary work and spirituality. In materialistic life, it represents Family, Children, Wealth and what you value in life.


2.So, when someone has Jupiter as Ghatni Karaka, this person may invite troubles for himself in shape of conflicts or disputes due to his belief system, knowledge, religious or spiritual views.


3.They can get into arguments or discussions with people over various belief systems and their opinions can hurt other people which may lead to conflicts.


4.As Jupiter expands, these results can expand as they grow and if they don’t learn that every fight is not worth taking and they can avoid conflicts too.


5.As Bible says, “Jesus didn’t share Pearls with Swines”. They also need to learn with whom they should share their genuine views and opinions.


6.Jupiter as Ghatni Karaka also shows the conflicts with Teachers or Gurus. They may not get very sharing and supporting Teachers.


7.It can also indicate health issues related with Fat, Obesity, Gall Bladder, Liver or Arteries/Heart related health issues. Again, if they don’t develop awareness, their illness can expand. If they become more aware then their health can grow.


8.Positively, they can also be Counselor or Guides or Teachers in matters of health care or legal matters. So, they can be Lawyers or Doctors etc.


9.They can also be Teachers or Professors in Medical College or Law Colleges.


10.Now, whichever house Jupiter rules in your chart through Sagittarius and Pisces signs, those houses would also indicate possible area of life in which person can find the results of Jupiter as Ghatni Karaka. It also shows that who all will be important to the native in finding these results.


11.Then in whichever house/sign Jupiter sits in chart, that shows in which area or direction of life that protection or care will be exhibited. Like, for a Cancer ascendant, if Jupiter is in 9th house/Pisces then native can get into conflicts over beliefs or values etc. But for Scorpio ascendant person, if Jupiter is placed in 2nd house/Sagittarius then person can be getting into conflicts due to family and wealth related matters.


12.If any planet is conjunct with Jupiter then it adds its own flavor of things/representations which can bring authority to person.


Dignity - Dignity of Jupiter would indicate if the native will attain the purpose of Jupiter as Ghatni Karaka early in life or with delays in life. He will attain it easily or with difficulties. If Jupiter is in good dignity with impacts of benefic planets then it may indicate that person may find these results easily or in early life itself whereas if Jupiter is losing dignity or impact of malefic planets are there on Jupiter then person may find these results in later life. Jupiter dignity and strength also indicates the kind of support the native may get from his teachers or Gurus in realizing these results.


Final conclusion would depend on overall analysis of chart with lots of other factors along with Jupiter’s position.


Hope this helps. Thanks,
