Debilitated Jupiter in Third House
When debilitated Jupiter is placed in the third house in a horoscope, Scorpio rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Jupiter is benefic in the third house in most cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Jupiter is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Jupiter may become more malefic.
Since Jupiter is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Jupiter. If debilitated Jupiter is afflicted by one or more than one malefic planet in the third house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Jupiter can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic 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 third house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Jupiter can bless the native with good results related to profession, finances, reputation, authority, fame, wealth, children, love life, creativity, family, marriage (females) 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 the government, through job or through politics, depending on his overall horoscope. Hence the native may achieve success as a revenue officer, administrative officer, telecom officer, railway officer, police officer, army officer, air force officer, foreign services officer, doctor, judge, engineer, minister or some other professional working with the government.
Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Jupiter is placed in the third house of a horoscope in Capricorn with benefic Saturn. Benefic Saturn may cancel the debilitation status of Jupiter and these two planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the third house. As a result, the native may achieve a post of authority in government, if his overall horoscope is supportive. Suppose Mercury is placed in the second house in Sagittarius, Venus is placed in the first house in Scorpio, Mars is placed in the tenth house in Leo, benefic Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Aries and Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Libra. In this case, the native may join revenue services. He may get selected for a high rank in revenue services and he may witness good amount of success, recognition and authority. The native may deal in intelligence section of the revenue department. It means he may become a revenue intelligence officer.
If benefic Moon is placed in the second house in Sagittarius with Mercury, and benefic Sun is placed in the first house in Scorpio with Venus, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may achieve success in competitive exams and he may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in revenue services. The native may work in the intelligence section and he may possess wonderful skills as an officer. He may achieve very good amount of success, recognition and authority as a revenue officer. He may lead several important missions/investigations and he may achieve success in most of them. The native may solve several high-profile and controversial cases; and he may achieve fame through them. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may serve as the head of his department for 2-3 years, before his retirement.
Apart from these, benefic debilitated Jupiter in the third house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Jupiter in the third house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to marriage (females), profession, finances, reputation, children, love life, creativity, spiritual growth, family, speech and several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such malefic debilitated Jupiter can trouble the native with setbacks, financial losses, failures, bad reputation, job loss, discontinuation of profession, unfortunate events and several other problems through his profession, depending on his overall horoscope. Taking an example, suppose debilitated Jupiter is placed in the third house of a horoscope in Capricorn with malefic Mercury. Benefic Sun is placed in the fourth house in Aquarius with malefic Venus, malefic exalted Ketu is placed in the first house in Scorpio and exalted Rahu is placed in the seventh house in Taurus.

Looking at profession, the native may not find a permanent profession till 35 or 40 years of his age and he may only find temporary jobs. He may witness financial losses and he may have to remain jobless for periods of more than 6 months, many times in his life. If a combination of Saturn and Moon is placed in the eighth house in Gemini and Mars is placed in the twelfth house in Libra, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may not find a permanent profession throughout his life and he may only engage in temporary as well as under-paying jobs from time to time. He may have to remain jobless for periods of more than 1 year, many times in his life. Depending on the finer factors and running times, the native may witness discontinuation of profession after the age of 45 or 50; and he may not get a job after this age. The native may also suffer from health problems and he may die before the age of 60 or that of 50, depending on the finer factors and running times.
