What Is a Jupiter (Brihaspati) Placement?

Your Jupiter sign refers to the zodiac sign Jupiter was in at the time of your birth.

It reveals how you seek truth, expand your horizons, and attract blessings.

In Vedic astrology, Jupiter is the planet of dharma, knowledge, and grace. It governs how you grow intellectually, spiritually, and even materially.

A well-placed Jupiter can open doors effortlessly. A weak Jupiter may lead to confusion about purpose or excess without wisdom.

What Does Jupiter Influence?

Jupiter is your compass. It points to what you believe in, how you give and receive abundance, and how you grow over time.
