In Vedic astrology, Jupiter—known as Guru or Brihaspati—symbolizes wisdom, expansion, prosperity, and spiritual growth. As the largest planet, it governs three powerful Nakshatras: Punarvasu, Vishakha, and Purva Bhadrapada. These Nakshatras, spanning air and water signs, embody themes of renewal, ambition, and transformation, fostering individuals who are optimistic, intellectual, and driven toward higher knowledge. Natives often excel in teaching, healing, and leadership but may face tests of ego and discipline.
