Debilitated Jupiter in First House
When debilitated Jupiter is placed in the first house in a horoscope, Capricorn rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Jupiter is malefic in the first house in many cases though it may turn benefic in some cases. This may happen when Jupiter is influenced by benefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of benefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Jupiter may become more benefic.
Since Jupiter is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for benefic planets to add positivity to Jupiter. If debilitated Jupiter is influenced by one or more than one benefic planet in the first house, it may turn significantly or highly benefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Jupiter can also turn it benefic in some cases, when such theme is benefic. The concept of malefic planets turning benefic due to influences of benefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Jupiter in the first house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Jupiter can bless the native with good results related to health, personality, spiritual growth, marriage (females), husband, profession, finances, reputation, authority, fame and several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope.
Such benefic debilitated Jupiter can bless the native with a post of authority in government, through job or through politics. Hence the native may become a police officer, army officer, air force officer, naval officer, foreign services officer, administrative officer, revenue officer, judge, minister, chief minister, prime minister, president or some other type of professional, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose debilitated Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Capricorn with Mercury. Benefic Venus is placed in the second house in Aquarius with Sun, benefic Moon is placed in the fourth house in Aries with benefic Rahu, and benefic Ketu is placed in the tenth house in Libra. In this case, the native may engage in the field of law. He may practice as a lawyer and he may witness good amount of success, money and recognition through his field of profession. The native may practice in criminal law, he may possess good knowledge of his field and he may witness growth with years.
If benefic Saturn is placed in the eighth house in Leo and benefic Mars is placed in the second house in Aquarius with Venus and Sun, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess very good knowledge of law and he may practice at a higher court of law. He may come across very good amount of success, money and recognition. After the age of 45 or 50, he may get elevated to the post of a judge at a higher court of law. The native may witness very good amount of success, recognition and authority as a judge, and he may enjoy various benefits. He may be known for his thoroughly logical yet liberal decisions. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may become the chief justice of a higher court of law.
Apart from these, benefic debilitated Jupiter in the first house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Jupiter in the first house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to health, lifespan, marriage (females), husband, profession, reputation, finances and several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope.
Jupiter is the general signifier of marriage and husband for female natives. It is malefic and it is weak due to debilitation. Hence it can trouble a female native with various types of problems related to marriage. Her marriage may get delayed, she may witness problems after marriage and/or she may suffer from one or more failed marriages, depending on her overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose malefic debilitated Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Capricorn. Benefic Venus is placed in the second house in Aquarius, Mercury is placed in the twelfth house in Sagittarius, malefic Rahu is placed in the fourth house in Aries, malefic Ketu is placed in the tenth house in Libra with Mars, and Moon is placed in the sixth house in Gemini. In this case, the native may get married after some delay. However, she may face serious problems in her marriage and her first marriage may fail because of such problems. The native may have serious differences of opinion with her husband and the couple may argue/fight frequently. If the overall horoscope and running times are supportive, the native may get married again and she may settle in her second marriage, after initial problems.
If malefic Sun is placed in the first house in Capricorn with Jupiter, and Saturn is placed in the eleventh house in Scorpio, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may witness serious problems in marriage and she may suffer from two or three failed marriages. She may settle in her third or fourth marriage, depending on the finer factors and running times. First marriage of the native may fail because of serious issues between her and her in-laws. She may have an especially troublesome equation with her mother-in-law, who may keep conspiring against her. The divorce may be finalized in a court after much drama, and the native may suffer from a lot of mental disturbance.
Apart from these, malefic debilitated Jupiter in the first house of horoscope can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope. The native may face bad reputation, financial losses, failures and setbacks through profession. He may also suffer from health problems which may trouble him and which may reduce his lifespan.
