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"

Nature: The most benefic planet, Sattvic quality, Ether (Akasha) element. Jupiter is the significator of knowledge, wealth, and children.

Section	Significations
Personal	Intellect, wisdom, memory, dharma, compassion, truth, peace, optimism, and respect for elders.
Body	Fat, liver, thighs, ears, brain power, arteries, and digestive power.
Society & Career	Children (Progeny), elder brother, teachers (Gurus), judges, bankers, priests, and ministers.

2. Venus (Venus/Shukra) - "Kalatra Karaka"
