Astrology Lessons - Planetary Significations (Graha Karakatvas)

Planetary Significations - Jupiter and Venus

There are two Gurus among the Navagrahas. One is the Guru of the Devas, Jupiter (Brihaspati), and the other is the Guru of the Asuras, Venus (Shukra). Both are benefic planets and both are providers of knowledge. However, while Jupiter teaches 'Dharma' (Wisdom/Righteousness), Venus provides 'Bhoga' (Luxury/Pleasure) and the knowledge of rejuvenation (Sanjeevani Vidya). Let's examine their significations.

1. Jupiter (Jupiter/Guru) - "Dhana, Putra Karaka"
