Jupiter in Virgo: Cautions, Joys and Help For You to Manifest a Better Life

Jupiter’s true nature is best expressed in superlatives—very large, very blessed, very knowledgeable, very intelligent, very optimistic, and last, but not least, very generous. This planet is traditionally known in Vedic astrology—the science of the Rishis and the Vedas—as the ultimate benefic planet. The recent Guru Chandala yoga caused by Rahu’s close proximity to Jupiter has had a global effect that is similar to what happens in the Vedic Yuga system—when during darker yugas (or eras), the light of righteousness is reduced and dark forces try to stop dharma (or higher duty for a divine purpose). Fortunately, Jupiter is gradually stepping away from Rahu, the shadow planet of confusion and excessive desire for personal gains. Come August 11, Jupiter will enter into Virgo—the Mercury sign of detail-oriented studies, health matters and litigation. Jupiter will remain in Virgo for an entire year. How this will play out for you largely depends on your chart, but all can benefit from Vedic technology that enhances the positive aspects of this transit and reduces or eliminates negativity. So to make sure you’ll love Jupiter in Virgo, below are some easy Vedic steps to securing money gains, good health and career opportunities. You can then receive this planet’s benign influence to better your life both materially and spiritually.

1. Awareness and connection

Parashara, one of the earlier fathers of Jyotish (or Vedic astrology) wrote about Jupiter and Mercury in his Brihat Hora Shastra (BPHS)—which is like the Bible of astrology. This is what he said:

• Mercury: “Endowed with an attractive physique and the capacity to use words with many meanings. He is fond of jokes.”
• Jupiter: “Has a big body [the largest planet in our galaxy], tawny hair and tawny eyes, is phlegmatic, is intelligent and learned in the Shastras [or scriptures].”

Contemplating on the above descriptions and reciting these planets’ special sound vibrations (or mantras) OM GURAVE NAMAHA (for Jupiter), and OM BUDHAYA NAMAHA (for Mercury), will put you in touch with their benefic rays. Traditionally the mantra can be recited 108, 54, or 27 times. Ask Jupiter for help in your finances, growing optimism, finding your life purpose and blessings for your spiritual evolution. Ask Mercury for assistance in increasing your cash money and help with your portfolio, your presentations, your business projects. Thank these planets with sincerity and devotion.

2. Improve your finances and wealth

Technically speaking, Mercury can harm Jupiter’s noble pursuits for higher, divine knowledge. Whereas, Jupiter doesn’t hurt Mercury. Ruling akash or space, Jupiter has an expansive influence on Mercury. According to Vedic astrology, the association of the above planets can help you in the following:

• Publishing—especially if your writings are spiritually oriented.
• Jupiter’s usual tendency to cause weight gain will be annulled by Virgo and you could find yourself looking for better healthcare or starting a diet.
• Your wealth could now come from Public Relations and marketing. Or litigation, if you are a lawyer.
• Acquiring more practicality that leads to more efficiency and success in your work.

Try this Here’s an even more powerful way for connecting with Jupiter. After taking a shower or bath, wear clean clothes and offer yellow flowers, water, sweets or fruit, a ghee lamp (or candle) and light an incense stick in front of a Jupiter image, statue or yantra—the tridimensional sacred geometry recommended by the Rishis. Recite the above Jupiter mantra 108 times. After the offerings, you can ask Jupiter to fulfill your needs for more money, more positivity and inspiration. Thank Jupiter with sincerity.

3. Higher technology left by the intuitive seers

The very first verse of the Rig Veda, the most ancient of the four Vedas, begins in praise of the fire God—or Agni. Fire is considered a perfect vehicle for powerful thought forms and prayers. So the fire ritual is the traditional means for connecting with celestial beings who are archetypes of wealth, cosmic power and well-being. According to the ancient sages of India, sponsoring fire labs to Jupiter and Shiva can fulfill your heart’s desires. Happy manifesting! By Donatella Lalitha Riback
