Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Jupiter (Guru)

Why do I feel so much better suddenly?

+

Jupiter rules 'Jiva' (life force) and optimism. When its Prana hits, the heaviness of other planetary periods temporarily lifts.

Should I make a big decision now?

+

Wait. While your vision is grand right now, Jupiter Prana can make you ignore practical, boring details. Write the idea down and check it tomorrow.

Why am I talking so much?

+

Jupiter loves to teach. You might find yourself lecturing or explaining things in great detail.

Is this a good time to ask for a favor?

+

Yes. People are generally more receptive and generous during Jupiter periods.
