♃ Jupiter in House XII - Wisdom & Expenses
Bhrigu Sutras
Jupiter in Twelfth House
Sutras 54-58-The native will be poor, he will be interested in studies, will have few children, will be proficient in mathematics but will be of loose character. If Jupiter is associated with a benefic or is in his own sign or sign of exaltation, the native will go to heaven after his death. If Jupiter is associated with a malefic the native will go to hell after his death. He will spend money on religious causes and will have sexual contacts with Brahmin and pregnant women.
Comments-The twelfth house is an evil house and Jupiter though a satwick planet loses all his good significations and qualities when he is posited in that house. By being in the 12th house, the significations of the good houses owned by Jupiter are also adversely affected. The 6th and 8th and 12th houses have been called evil houses but if the lord of these houses are posited in any of these houses, Vipareeta Raja yoga is caused conferring name, fame and wealth on the native. The view is supported by the following Sloka of Uttarakalamrit:
This means that if any one of the following three yogas, namely (a) lord of the 8th occupying the 12th or 6th; (b) lord of 6th being placed in the 8th or 12th; (c) lord of 12th being posited in the 8th or the 6th; (d) the said three lords being connected in any way, by mutual interchange of places, mutual aspect or conjunction, and are at the same time Tree from such relation with other planets, the person born will become an emperor over other kings and blessed with fame and wealth. We are of the view that on the analogy of the above principles the lord of the 12th in the 12th, the lord of the 8th in the 8th, and lord of the 6th in the 6th, should also give the same results. If Jupiter fulfils any of the conditions mentioned above, he can be very beneficial even in the 12th, 8th or 6th houses.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The native will be a villain.
Phaldeepika-The native will be disliked by other people. The native will also be vulgar in his speech. He will be childless, will indulge in sinful deeds, will be lazy and one who serves others. Saravali-The native will be lazy, without good speech and unfortunate and will have a feeling of bitterness towards others. Chamatkar Chintamani-The native in spite of spending on good causes will not get any praise. He will be stupid and will incur loss of wealth. "
Note-All the above authorities are in agreement with Bhrigu Sutras that Jupiter gives only inauspicious results if situated in the 12th house. They have, however, expressed their views in their own way.
