A Weak Jupiter: Capricorn, Dusthana, or a Node

Debilitation in Capricorn is the sign test. Combustion, too close to the Sun, is the light test, and no orb is printed here. A dusthana house is the place test. A node is the conjunction test. Guru Chandal is the Rahu version. Ketu's version detaches rather than inflates, and it is not the same name. Any one of the four is enough to call Jupiter strained. All four together are a very weak karaka. Jupiter exalted in Cancer fails none of the sign test. It can still be combust or in the 12th. Check all four. Do not stop at the sign.

Teachers disappoint. Judgment in money and in children-questions wobbles, because Jupiter is putrakaraka and a wealth karaka. The 9th house of fortune gets less help from its karaka. The 5th house must still be judged on its own lord. A strong 5th lord with a weak Jupiter is a mixed children chart, not a blank one. Faith can become rigid or absent. None of this is a liver disease, a fertility diagnosis, or a prediction of a childless life. Those are medical and personal facts outside the yoga.

If Jupiter mahadasha is running, the weakness lasts as a theme for 16 years, loudest in the opening Jupiter-Jupiter bhukti. If another mahadasha is running, the weak Jupiter is background until its antardasha. Thursday is the proportionate observance. It does not exalt a planet in Capricorn. Neecha bhanga, if the cancellation conditions are truly met, is the chart's own lift, not a product. For lagnas where Jupiter owns dusthanas, Taurus or Libra, a weak Jupiter and a difficult lordship stack. Name that stack instead of a generic symptom list.
