Jupiter, called Guru or Brihaspati in Vedic

astrology, is the planet of learning and
wisdom and is considered the most
favorable (benefic) planet in the solar
system. Jupiter is naturally strong in most
horoscopes and will give you luck, wealth,
happy relationships, and vast spiritual and
practical knowledge. For an unlucky few,
Jupiter is weak and can cause laziness,
over-indulgence, a lack of success in
business and relationships, and health
problems like inflammation and dry skin.
Fortunately, there are a variety of simple
ways to activate Jupiter’s positive powers
in your life and reverse bad luck from the
planet. Keep reading for a list of things you
can do to start enjoying the health, wealth,
and good luck of strong Jupiter.

1 Put on yellow clothing.

Yellow is the color of Jupiter and

represents peace and tranquility. Add
yellow to your outfits every day of the
week but especially on Thursdays, the
day of Jupiter. This will bring balance to
your emotional and psychological
dilemmas and soothe health problems in
the blood, nerves, and reproductive
system.[1]
Surround your body and home in
yellow and gold to maximize the good
vibes of Jupiter. The more yellow, the
better![2]

2 Wear a yellow sapphire stone.

Yellow sapphire (Pukhraj) is the

gemstone of Jupiter. Wear it in a gold
ring or necklace for prosperity and good
financial fortune. The stone will also
promote good health, spiritual knowledge,
and loving relationships. If you don’t have
a yellow sapphire, wear other yellow or
gold jewelry as a substitute.[3]
The power of the yellow sapphire is
strongest on Thursdays.
Yellow topaz is also a lucky stone for
Jupiter when you wear it in a ring on
your index finger. The first day you
wear the stone should be a Thursday.

3 Add turmeric to your cooking.

wikiHow

Jupiter is strengthened by eating

turmeric. Add this yellow spice to your
daily meals to please Jupiter and enjoy its
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
benefits. Drink milk with turmeric to treat
physical ailments in your bones and joints
and help fight infections.[4] You can also
use turmeric to improve Jupiter by:
Tying yellow string around a jar of
turmeric and wearing it around your
neck
Wearing a tilak (forehead marking) of
turmeric paste[5]
Adding a pinch of turmeric to your
bath water[6]

4 Stick to a vegetarian diet.

wikiHow

Ditch the meat in your cooking,

especially beef. Jupiter is happy when
you treat cows with respect, so this
definitely includes not eating them! If you
know any cows nearby, feed them yellow
foods like gram dal (yellow lentils),
jaggery (cane sugar), or turmeric for extra
luck.[7] Other helpful diet changes
include:
Avoiding alcohol
Eating sweet yellow foods, like
bananas or halwa[8]

Donate yellow things to

5
charity.

Donating is a powerful way to win a

planet’s favor in Vedic astrology. Make
Jupiter happy and give away yellow items
and foods to the poor like clothes,
flowers, gold, bananas, gram dal, split
Bengal gram (chickpeas), or turmeric.
The motivation behind your donation is
more important than the amount, so only
give what you can.[9]
Make donations on a Thursday to
increase the impact of your giving.
Any service to the poor or
volunteering at a religious place will
please Jupiter, even if you don’t have
any yellow items to give.
Donate turmeric to a holy place, like a
temple, for 8 consecutive days to gain
Jupiter’s favor before starting
something new.[10]

Worship a peepal (sacred fig)

6
tree.

The peepal tree is especially important

to Jupiter. Find a tree to care for to
transform weak Jupiter into a strong one,
and strong Jupiter into a lucky one. Water
the roots of the tree daily in the morning
(never in the afternoon or at night) and
light a ghee lamp underneath the tree in
the evenings. Never cut or remove a
peepal tree unless absolutely necessary.
[11]

Worshiping living things, like trees,

gives faster and stronger results than
other methods of worship.

Praise Lord Vishnu on

7
Thursdays.

The planet Jupiter represents the

Hindu god Vishnu. Worship or pay
respect to him on Thursdays while
burning a ghee lamp for prosperity and
happiness in your married life. There are
many simple rituals to perform at home if
you don’t have a spiritual guru to guide
you.[12] Here are several common
worship practices:
Read the Vishnu Sahasranama, a
Sanskrit hymn containing all 1,000
names of Vishnu.
Clean a picture of Vishnu by washing
the photo in a bath of water and
turmeric. Dry it off with a yellow
cloth.[13]
Offer Vishnu yellow rice while
chanting the Guru Beej Mantra.

8 Chant the Guru Beej Mantra.

Repeat this mantra to release the

powers of Jupiter. The words are “om
gram greem grom sah guruve namah,”
but there are several variations with
different wording or pronunciation. Chant
this mantra 108 times every day to
increase your spiritual and practical
knowledge.[14]
Chant this mantra on a Thursday or
while you do other Jupiter-pleasing
acts, like wearing yellow or
worshiping a peepal tree, to increase
its power.[15]
It’s best to consult an astrologer or
spiritual authority who can show you
the proper pronunciation and any
other instructions that accompany the
chant.

9 Fast on Thursdays.

Fasting has many spiritual and

physical benefits. The process gives
you the opportunity to connect with
Jupiter and receive his blessing on his
day of the week. Only eat at nighttime or
in the early morning when the sun is
down, and fill up on yellow foods like
lentils, jaggery, turmeric, or bananas after
offering prayer to Lord Brihaspati
(Jupiter). Avoid salt and drink plenty of
water in the morning to stay hydrated
during your fast.[16]
Fasting on Thursdays also removes
obstacles in your marriage and
empowers you to improve your health
and financial circumstances.

Keep your hygiene routine

10
simple on Thursdays.

Stick to daily maintenance and save

big makeovers for another day. In
Hindu scriptures, it’s forbidden to wash
your head, cut your hair, shave, or cut
your nails on Thursdays. Doing these
things will irritate Jupiter and cause
money problems and bad luck in your
business or personal projects. Basic
hygiene, like brushing your teeth and
wearing deodorant, is still OK.[17]
When you do get your hair cut, chop it
above the shoulder as a remedy for
weak Jupiter.[18]

Take a break from

11
housekeeping on Thursdays.

Cut back on your cleaning to increase

Jupiter’s powers. Light tidying to keep
your house in order is OK, but save your
major junk removal and hardcore dirty
cleaning projects for another day of the
week. Laundry for your everyday clothes
is fine too, but plan to launder your
special garments another time.[19]

Start important projects on

12
Thursdays.

Jupiter blesses new undertakings that

begin on Thursdays. The success of
these projects will be repeated again in
the future, so start working on Thursdays
if you know you’ll need to repeat a
specific project or task later. These can
include art projects like paintings or
clothes designing, construction work,
business tasks, or even traveling.[20]
Since Jupiter is the planet of learning,
save your studying or educational
projects for Thursdays for maximum
good luck.

Only strengthen your Jupiter

13
when it feels weak.

A planet that’s too strong is just as

bad as one that’s too weak. Jupiter is
naturally very strong in most people’s
horoscopes, so only perform
strengthening acts now and then to keep
up the relationship. Take a break from
Jupiter-related activities (especially on
Thursdays) to downplay its effects if you
feel the giant planet’s influence in your life
is too strong.[21]
An overbalanced Jupiter can cause
spiritual unrest and health problems
like inflammation, dry skin, or
indigestion.
If Jupiter is overwhelming and
causing bad side effects, try
strengthening its enemy planet,
Mercury, to fix the balance in your
horoscope.
