Strong Jupiter in Vedic Astrology

In Vedic astrology, a strong Jupiter in the horoscope brings wealth, prosperity, children, and happiness. A powerful Jupiter signifies abundance in life, a tendency towards spirituality, and divine grace. However, a strong Jupiter can also lead to weight gain and a lack of control over eating habits.

Weak Jupiter in Vedic Astrology

A weak Jupiter can cause disruptions in education, lead to a lack of seriousness towards work, and create problems related to marriage. It may also result in digestive issues and a tendency to view religious activities with skepticism. A weak Jupiter can also lead to difficulties in acquiring knowledge and wealth, poor respect for elders, and general health problems.
