Retrograde Jupiter in First House in Aquarius
When retrograde Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Aquarius, Aquarius rises in the ascendant. Jupiter rules the second and eleventh house. In general, it is benefic here, in most cases. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science? (Revised Edition)’.
Retrograde Jupiter in the first house of horoscope in Aquarius is benefic in most cases, though it may turn malefic in some cases. It may happen when such Jupiter is influenced by one or more malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope. The concept of a benefic planet turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope in Aquarius can bless the native with good results related to marriage (female), husband, family, speech, wealth, friends, health, lifespan, profession, finances, fame, recognition, authority, reputation and several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such retrograde Jupiter can render various types of benefits to the native, related to or through his/her health, lifespan, marriage (female), husband, family and/or friends. Considering family, the native may be born in a rich, influential, resourceful, well-respected, politically powerful, royal and/or spiritually advanced family, and he may witness several benefits by virtue of being a member of such family. Considering friends, some of his friends may come across success, money, fame, and/or authority, and the native may witness many benefits due to them. They may stand by the native and they may help him get out of his problems, many times in his life.
Looking at profession, such retrograde Jupiter can help the native achieve success as an astrologer, tantric, psychic, spiritual guru, healer, religious guru, teacher, preacher, consultant, researcher, analyst, actor, singer, musician, writer, dancer, sportsman, artist, architect, designer, developer, professional dealing in education industry, coaching, computer, book, IT, food, health, pharma, finance, matrimonial, television, music, sports, media, fitness, travel, hotel, airline, telecom, internet industry or some other type of professional, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose benefic retrograde Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Aquarius. Debilitated Mercury is placed in the second house in Pisces, benefic Venus is placed in the fourth house in Taurus with benefic exalted Rahu, exalted Ketu is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio, Saturn is placed in the sixth house in Cancer, and Moon is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn. Venus forms Malavya Yoga in the fourth house. In this case, the native may engage in food business. He may start a restaurant after his age of 30, and he may witness success, money, recognition and growth.
If benefic Sun is placed in the second house in Pisces with Mercury, and benefic Mars is placed in the fourth house in Taurus with Venus and Rahu, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may witness very good amount of success, money, recognition and growth through restaurant business. His business may expand after his age of 35 or 40, and it may keep growing after that. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may own a chain of restaurants, which may have a large number of branches in several countries of the world. By the age of 60 or 65, he may have his net worth in billions.
Such retrograde Jupiter can bless the native with authority in government as a police officer, army, air force, naval, revenue, administrative, foreign services officer, judge, doctor, scientist, engineer, politician or some other type of professional. Kindly read book for detailed example.
On the other hand, malefic retrograde Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope in Aquarius can trouble the native with problems related to marriage (female), husband, friends, family, wealth, speech, health, lifespan, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition and several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Jupiter rules the second and eleventh house, and it is placed in the first house. If such retrograde Jupiter is influenced by malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope, the native may witness various types of problems related to his/her health, lifespan, marriage (female), husband, family and/or friends. Considering family, the native may be born in a family which may be poor, and/or some of his family members may be alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals and/or they may have some other negative traits. Hence the native may witness several problems in his life, due to bad reputation of his family, and/or bad conducts of some family members.
The native may witness delays, financial losses, setbacks, failures, job loss, bad reputation and several other problems related to or through his profession. He may also become a criminal. Taking an example, suppose retrograde Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Aquarius with malefic Rahu. Guru Chandal Yoga is formed in the first house. Malefic Ketu is placed in the seventh house in Leo, exalted Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Mars, malefic Moon is placed in the third house in Aries, and retrograde Saturn is placed in the sixth house in Cancer. In this case, the native may become a criminal. He may engage in drug-trafficking as well as in other crimes. He may get caught, and he may spend more than 10 years in prison.
If Sun is placed in the seventh house in Leo with Ketu, and debilitated Venus is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Mars and Mercury, the equation may become more troublesome. Grahan Yoga is formed in the seventh house. In this case, the native may become head of a criminal group which may traffic drugs on international level. He may get caught after his age of 35, and he may spend more than 20 years in prison. If the finer factors and running times are very bad, he may get killed in an encounter with police, any time after his age of 30.
