Retrograde Jupiter in Twelfth House in Virgo
When retrograde Jupiter is placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope in Virgo, Libra rises in the ascendant. Jupiter rules the third and sixth house. In general, it is partly benefic and partly malefic here, though the malefic part is higher, 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?’.
Retrograde Jupiter in the twelfth house of horoscope in Virgo is malefic in many cases, though it may turn benefic in some cases. It may happen when such Jupiter is influenced by one or more benefic planets, and/or an overall benefic horoscope. The concept of a malefic planet turning benefic due to influences of benefic planets has been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Jupiter in the twelfth house of a horoscope in Virgo can bless the native with good results related to marriage (female), husband, siblings, colleagues, creativity, spiritual growth, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, fame 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 marriage (female), husband and/or siblings. Considering siblings, some of them 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. Considering marriage (female), she may get married to a man who may be rich, a celebrity, an officer in government, a powerful politician, a successful businessman, and/or a citizen of a foreign country. The native may witness several benefits due to or through her husband and/or his family members. The native may settle in a foreign country on the basis of her marriage, if her overall horoscope and running times are supportive.
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 retrograde Jupiter is placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope in Virgo with benefic Moon. Benefic Rahu is placed in the first house in Libra, Ketu is placed in the seventh house in Aries, Mercury is placed in the fourth house in Capricorn, benefic Mars is placed in the eighth house in Taurus, and exalted Venus is placed in the sixth house in Pisces. In this case, the native may engage in shipping industry. He may work for a company which may deal in shipping vessels used for cargo purposes, and he may witness good amount of success, money and recognition.
If benefic Sun is placed in the sixth house in Pisces with Venus, and benefic retrograde Saturn is placed in the first house in Libra with Rahu, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may start his own shipping company after his age of 30/35, and he may come across very good amount of success, money, recognition and growth. His business may expand after his age of 35/40, and it may keep growing. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, he may own dozens of cargo vessels by his age of 55 or 60, and his business empire may be 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.
