How to Improve Jupiter in Astrology

Last Updated: December 30, 2021 References

Jupiter, known as Guru or Brihaspati in Vedic astrology, is the planet of learning and wisdom and is considered the most favorable (beneficial) planet in the solar system. Jupiter is naturally strong in most horoscopes and will give you luck, wealth, happy relationships, and vast spiritual and practical knowledge. For an unlucky few, Jupiter is weak and can cause laziness, over-indulgence, a lack of success in business and relationships, and health problems like inflammation and dry skin. Fortunately, there are a variety of simple ways to increase Jupiter’s positive powers in your life and reverse any bad luck from the planet.

Method 4 of 13:
Stick to a vegetarian diet.

1
Ditch the meat in your cooking to please Jupiter, especially beef. Jupiter is pleased when you treat cows with respect, so this definitely includes not eating them! You can take your cow caring further by feeding them yellow foods like gram dal (yellow lentils), jaggery (cane sugar), and turmeric.^{[7]

- Abstaining from alcohol
- Eating sweet yellow foods, like bananas or halwa^{[8]

Method 5

Method 5 of 13:
Donate yellow things to charity.

1
Donating is a powerful way to win a planet’s favor in Vedic astrology. To get on Jupiter’s good side, give away yellow items and foods to the poor. These can include yellow clothes, yellow flowers, gold, bananas, gram dal, split Bengal gram (chickpeas), and turmeric. The intention behind your donation is more important than the amount, so only give to the extent that you are able.^{[9]

- Make donations on a Thursday to increase the impact of your giving.
- Any service to the poor or volunteering at a religious place will please Jupiter, even if you don’t have any yellow items to give.
- Donate turmeric to a holy place, like a temple, for 8 consecutive days to gain Jupiter’s favor before starting something new.^{[10]

Method 6

Method 6 of 13:
Worship a peepal (sacred fig) tree.

1
The peepal tree is especially important to Jupiter. Worship and care for one to transform weak Jupiter into a strong one, and strong Jupiter into a lucky one. Water the roots of the tree daily in the morning (never in the afternoon or at night) and light a ghee lamp underneath the tree in the evenings. Never cut or remove a peepal tree unless absolutely necessary.^{[11]

- Worshiping living things, like trees, yields faster and stronger results than other methods of worship.

Method 7

Method 7 of 13:
Chant the Guru Beej Mantra.

- Chant this mantra on a Thursday or in combination with other Jupiter-pleasing acts, like wearing yellow or worshiping a peepal tree, to increase its power.^{[13]

Method 8 of 13:
Fast on Thursdays.

1
Fasting has many spiritual and physical benefits. The process gives you the opportunity to connect with Jupiter and receive his blessing on his day of the week. Limit your eating to nighttime or early morning hours when the sun is down, and eat lentils, jaggery, turmeric, or bananas after offering prayer to Lord Brihaspati (Jupiter). Avoid salt and drink plenty of water in the morning to stay hydrated during your fast.^{[14]

- Fasting on Thursdays also removes obstacles in your marriage and empowers you to improve your health and financial circumstances.

Method 9

Method 9 of 13:
Praise Lord Vishnu on Thursdays.

1
The planet Jupiter represents the Hindu god Vishnu. Worship or pay respect to him on Thursdays while burning a ghee lamp to gain prosperity and happiness in your married life. A spiritual guru can guide you through worship, or you can practice several simple rituals on your own.^{[15]

- Read the Vishnu Sahasranamana, a Sanskrit hymn containing all 1,000 names of Vishnu.

Method 10

Method 10 of 13:
Limit your hygiene practices on Thursdays.

1
Stick to daily maintenance and save makeovers for another day. In Hindu scriptures, it’s forbidden to wash your head, cut your hair, shave, or cut your nails on Thursdays. Doing these things will irritate Jupiter and lead to money problems and reversed progress in your business or personal projects. Basic hygiene, like brushing your teeth and wearing deodorant, is still OK.^{[17]

- When you do get your hair cut, chop it above the shoulder and as a remedy for weak Jupiter.^{[18]

Method 11

Method 11 of 13:
Take a break from housekeeping on Thursdays.

1
Cut back on your cleaning to increase Jupiter’s powers. You can still do some light tidying to keep your house in order, but save your junk removal and hardcore dirty cleaning projects for another day of the week. You can wash your everyday clothes on Thursdays as well, but plan to launder your special garments or irregularly worn clothes another time.^{[19]

Method 12

Method 12 of 13:
Start important projects on Thursdays.

1
Jupiter blesses new undertakings that begin on Thursdays. The success of these projects will be repeated again in the future. Start working on Thursdays if you know you’ll need to repeat a specific project or task later to ensure good luck each time. These can include art projects like paintings or clothes designing, construction work, business tasks, or even traveling.^{[20]

- Thursdays are also very good for work related to education, learning, or studying.

Method 13

Method 13 of 13:
Keep your Jupiter balanced.

1
A planet that’s too strong is just as bad as one that’s too weak. Jupiter is naturally very strong in most people’s horoscopes. If you feel like Jupiter is already on your side, only perform Jupiter-improving acts now and then to keep up the relationship. An overbalanced Jupiter will lead to adverse consequences including spiritual unbalance and deteriorating health.^{[21]
