The planet Jupiter in Vedic astrology is known as GURU, BRIHASPATI, and DEVAGURA.

Jupiter is believed to be a bestower of successes. It is generally believed that one who is graced by Jupiter, commands respect from others. Jupiter in astrology is named as ‘Guru’, meaning, biggest of all planets. The persons with grace of favour of Jupiter enjoy elderly quality, towering respect and business. If it is powerful, it can counter the ill effects of other planets comfortably. Jupiter rules over the liver, circulation of blood in arteries, and fat in the human organism.

Jupiter is very important for a female, because it determines her marriage and her relationship with her husband. Sun, Mars, and the Moon are its friends. Mercury and Venus are its enemies. Rahu, Ketu, and Saturn are neutral in friendship.
