Jupiter as Matru Karaka

Please check this introductory article to understand the theme and purpose behind this series - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/NewSeries-PlanetsasJaiminiKarakas-IntroductoryArticle

Let’s cover this article under following points -

Jupiter - Jupiter is the most benefic planet and it represents all the auspicious things like Knowledge, Wisdom, Law, Guru, Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy, Literature, Expansion of Things and Elderly People. For a girl, Jupiter also represents Husband.


Matru Karaka - It is planet with the 4th highest degree. It is known as Matru Karaka or Significator of Mother. This planet and its position in chart will indicate towards your relation with your Mother. It can also be seen for things like Property and Vehicles as Mother, Property and Vehicles all relate to 4th house.

Results of Jupiter as Matru Karaka - As I see, following results can be prominent when Jupiter becomes someone’s Matru Karaka -

1.Jupiter is a planet of wisdom, knowledge, divine Guru and guidance. It is the most benefic planet. It is also the planet of religion, philosophy, literary work and spirituality. In materialistic life, it represents Family, Children, Wealth and what you value in life.

2.So, when Jupiter is someone’s Matru Karaka, it is like having your Mother as your Guru. In later life, tables can turn and person can become guide or teacher to Mother. Basically, it shows that relationship of Teacher-Student between Mother-Native.

3.It also means that there can be lots of knowledge sharing between Native and his Mother. It also indicates that person can be very motherly or nourishing when it comes to teaching and guiding people.

4.Jupiter as Matru Karaka shows prominently that person can be in any counselling related work in matters of Land, Real Estate, Architecture or Interior Designing. Person’s own real estate property may expand with time.

5.This person may find his peace of mind in knowledge gaining and knowledge sharing, in association with Guru or his home land.

6.He can be regarded as a Guru in his home land.

7. If Jupiter is also in good dignity, it shows a very nourishing teacher who shares his knowledge freely without any reservations.

8.Now, whichever house Jupiter rules in your chart through Sagittarius and Pisces signs, those houses would also indicate possible area of life in which person can find the results of Jupiter as Matru Karaka. It also shows that who all will be important to the native in finding these results.

9. Then in whichever house/sign Jupiter sits in chart, that shows in which area or direction of life that protection or care will be exhibited. Like, for a Cancer ascendant, if Jupiter is in 9th house/Pisces then native can be seen as a Gurus by receiving the help of Mother. But for Scorpio ascendant person, if Jupiter is placed in 2nd house/Sagittarius then person can be guided by Mother in matters of managing family, wealth and assets.

10. If any planet is conjunct with Jupiter then it adds its own flavor of things/representations which can bring authority to person.

Dignity - Dignity of Jupiter would indicate if the native will attain the purpose of Jupiter as Matru Karaka early in life or with delays in life. He will attain it easily or with difficulties. If Jupiter is in good dignity with impacts of benefic planets then it may indicate that person may find his destination easily or in early life itself whereas if Jupiter is losing dignity or impact of malefic planets are there on Jupiter then person may find his destination in later life. Jupiter dignity and strength also indicates the kind of support the native may get from his teachers or Gurus in realizing these results.

Final conclusion would depend on overall analysis of chart with lots of other factors along with Jupiter’s position.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
