Jupiter is one of the most influential planets in Vedic astrology, known for its benevolent nature and association with knowledge, wisdom, spirituality, and prosperity. When placed in Cancer, Jupiter is in neutral sign state, which means that it can exhibit both positive and negative effects depending on its placement and influence on other planets.
In this placement, Jupiter becomes the lord of the 6th and 9th house. The 6th house is associated with health, diseases, enemies, debt, and obstacles while the 9th house represents luck, fortune, higher education, philosophy and religion. Thus Jupiter would take care of these houses along with its own significations.
Furthermore, as Jupiter is the natural karaka or significator of the 2nd house (wealth), 5th house (creativity), and 9th house (religion), it would take care of these houses as well. All these houses are related to abundance in some form or another.
As per astrological predictions based on this placement for Cancer ascendant natives:
