Jupiter as Putra 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.


Putra Karaka - It is planet with the 5th highest degree. It is known as Putra Karaka or Significator of Child. This planet and its position in chart will indicate towards your relation with your Children and their life. 


Results of Jupiter as Putra Karaka - As I see, following results can be prominent when Jupiter becomes someone’s Putra 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 Jupiter is someone’s Putra Karaka, it is like same energy is getting aligned with each other as Jupiter and Putra Karaka both represent Children. We can also say that same energy is getting intensified.


3.It shows that they can have more of a Teacher-Student relation rather than Parent-Child relation. They can be more a teacher to their child. In later life, they can learn a lot from their child.


4.Likewise, it can show a lover who is more about guiding and sharing knowledge with his love interest. Their way of connecting with their lover is to share or exchange knowledge with their lover. Hence, common academic interests help them in sustaining their relationship.


5.They can also work as teacher in their creative interests; like Dance Teacher or Music Teacher etc.


6.It shows that someone can be a Teacher or Counsellor and any act of sharing their knowledge can bring immense happiness to them. Likewise, they can find happiness in matters of spirituality and meditations etc.


7.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 Putra Karaka. It also shows that who all will be important to the native in finding these results.


8.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 be seen as a Guru in matters of religion, academics and spirituality. But for Scorpio ascendant person, if Jupiter is placed in 1st house/Scorpio then person can beseen as Guru in matters of research, occult and mysticism.


9.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 Putra 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,
