Jupiter rules both Sagittarius and Pisces, though Sagittarius is the mool-trikona sign of Jupiter. In simple terms, this indicates that on this earthly material plane, the key purpose of Jupiter is to show the path of “Dharma”. But this is not the end purpose of Jupiter- in and of itself!!
This is indicated by the symbol for Sagittarius which is the archer and the three signs that follow it- Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pieces. Of these, Capricorn and Aquarius are ruled by Saturn and Pisces is ruled by Jupiter. It is also important to note that Saturn is the karaka for Karma- our actions as well as receiving the fruits of those actions.
As we know the symbol of Sagittarius is half-horse and half-man. It shows the evolution of a soul thru the various stages designated by the various signs and that as we arrive at Sagittarius, even though we now realize the importance of civilized-living, which is governed by dharma and laws- we still have not completed our journey to being a complete, i.e., evolved man (an evolved human being).

What is interesting to note is that this archer in Sagittarius is pointing his arrow forward- towards the three signs that follow it- Capricorn, Aquarius and then finally Pisces. Here Jupiter symbolically indicates that the path forward is thru the key-core qualities of those three signs so that we can arrive at our final goal of Pisces- where we complete our journey.
| Here, I would like to make a quick sidenote that though Pisces is the final segment of the soul journey around the zodiac, the actual resting place of the soul is in the sign of Cancer, which is the 4th house of the Kaal Purusha Kundali, i.e., the natural zodiac chart and Jupiter is exalted here in the nakshatra of Pushya which is governed by Saturn. |
The way we move further on with our soul-journey is by first conducting our own karmas- signified by Capricorn and then preforming karmas for the general wellbeing, i.e. for the wellbeing of our communities, societies and the world at large- signified by Aquarius and it is only after we have performed the appropriate (needed) karmas and learnt our lessons in the process that we will be able to arrive at Pisces- the Cosmic ocean, the abode of Lord Vishnu- the supreme consciousness that pervades everything and everywhere and is known as the supreme God-head.
Pisces which is also ruled by Jupiter is signified by the two fishes swimming in opposite direction. On one hand we can learn our lessons and move out of this repeated cycle of birth and death or on the other hand, it is possible that there are still many lessons that we need to learn, many karmic debts that we still need to clear/pay and so because of this we need to “go back” to continuing with the cycle- another iteration of the journey- and hopefully the next time around we will be that much wiser about our experience and grow further within our soul-consciousness.

Here in Pisces, Jupiter helps us to know/realize that we have now reached the cosmic presence. Finally, our journey can stop. We can rest, we do not need to trek anymore and here our feet (our soul-journey) find rest at the feet of the supreme consciousness within the depths of the Cosmic ocean.
So basically, Jupiter rules the wisdom of the way forward in Sagittarius and gives us the knowledge/wisdom and desire to traverse the path forward thru Capricorn and Aquarius, where we need to “settle” our karmic accounts so as to then arrive at the final junction where we can attain moksha- liberation from this cycle of birth and death, i.e., our individual consciousness can finally merge with the Divine Supreme Consciousness!!
So – how can we practically utilize this Wisdom of Jupiter?? Take a look at your Vedic chart and then check to see the houses these four signs fall in. Addressing the karmas/lessons associated with those houses will help you to easily progress on your soul journey- which is to say that it will help you in a general manner, to make things better for you- at an overall level.

| Now keep in mind that your actual soul-lessons for this lifetime are more connected with other grahas like Rahu, Ketu, and special planetary combinations- but when you conduct the karmas associated with these natural steps of a soul’s journey, it will help to smoothen your experience as you learn the lessons associated with your core soul-journey. |
For e.g., let’s say you are a Virgo ascendent, then in that case Sagittarius will be in your 4th house with Capricorn being in the 5th, followed by Aquarius in 6th and Pisces in the 7th house. At a simple level, even if you are to ensure that you conduct appropriate karmas around your relationship with your mother, your home along with ensuring proper focus and commitment to creative endeavors and children along with following a structured daily routine and ensuring that you have a more accommodative stance when you deal with other people… will help you bigtime in sorting thru other challenging areas of your life.
Even though doing all the above actions may seem like common sense, but particularly for a Virgo ascendent person, they will find that when they do those things and pay more attention to those tasks- concerning the houses 4 thru 7, the rest of their life will flow that much smoother.
Also, it would not be surprising, if you have planets in these houses which will further indicate that these are part of your core life-lessons!! Then in that case, conducting those karmas will take on an even deeper significance and so subsequently addressing them properly will help you that much more…
If you are a student of Jyotish, then you can surely meditate on this snippet of wisdom and find out other deeper significances. But if you are a lay person reading this to find answers for their own chart, then even simply looking at the significance of the houses these four signs fall in, and then attending to those lessons/actions/tasks will go a long way into smoothening (making easy & joyful) your overall life experience.

Special Note: This article like others within the Jyotish category, assumes that you already have some basic understanding of Jyotish or Vedic Astrology. Here on Maitreyi Paradigm, my intension is to utilize the information that is contained within each of our astrological charts to help strategically pave our own pathway- to health, wellbeing, and happiness. To help you identify and address your own deep, driving soul urges and desires.
