♃ Jupiter in House II - Family & Finance
Bhrigu Sutras
Jupiter in the Second House
Sutras 7-12-If Jupiter is in the second house the native will be rich and intelligent. What he foretells will come true. In his 16th year he will enjoy financial gains and agricultural prosperity. He will also be very powerful. If Jupiter is in his own sign (Sagittarius or Pisces) or in his sign of exaltation, the native will be very prosperous and wealthy. If Jupiter is associates with a malefic there will be obstacles in educational pursuits and the native will be a thief, liar and will have vulgar speech. If Jupiter is in his sign of debilitation and associated with a malefic, the native will be a drunkard and immoral. He will be a destroyer of his family and will have relations with other people's wives. He will also be childless.
Comments-The second house is native's Dhana bhava. Jupiter in the second will give the native financial prosperity early in his life. According to the author second house also deals with education and Jupiter associated with malefics will cause obstacles in the educational sphere. The second house also signifies speech and family. Jupiter associated with malefics will .make the native immoral in every respect. Jupiter is a significator for children. If he is afflicted or is in his sign of debilitation, there will be no issues. If Jupiter is in Sagittarius the ascendant will be Scorpio and Jupiter will be ii"the 2nd house as lord of the 2nd and 5th houses. If Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Aquarius and Jupiter will be in the 2nd as lord of the 2nd and 11th houses. If Jupiter is in Cancer (his sign of exaltation), the ascendant will be Gemini and he will be in the 2nd as lord of the 7th and 10th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. For Virgo ascendant also Jupiter will be very beneficial in the 2nd house.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be eloquent and sweet tongued.
Phaldeepika-The native will be intelligent, handsome and eloquent. He will get good food to eat. Jupiter in the second will improve all the good significations of this house.
Saravali-The native will be rich, fond of luxuries, eloquent handsome, sweet tongued and charitable.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will be fond of poetry. He will be well versed in administrative affairs. He will suffer on account of lack of food. He will be very talkative. He will earn wealth with difficulty and inspite of all his efforts he will be unable to accumulate any wealth.
Note-Brihat Jatak does not mention anything about wealth.
Chamatkar'Chintamani has expressed the view that the native who has Jupiter in the 2nd can never be wealthy. Perhaps the author has 'Karko Bhava Nashaya' theory in view. Phaldeepika and Saravali are in agreement with the views of Bhrigu Sutras which we think are very logical and relevant to the significations of Jupiter and the 2nd house. We have found them correct in practical experience.
The following horoscope of the late President Abraham Lincoln of U.S.A. is an example of what Jupiter in his own sign gives to the native-
It will be seen that in the above horoscope Jupiter in his own sign Pisces and Venus in his sign of exaltation, are the only two planets in the second house who were responsible for the elevation of the native to such a high position.
