Jupiter is known as Guru – the benevolent teacher, a planet of wisdom, growth, expansion, and abundance. When well-placed, Jupiter bestows good health, knowledge, and spiritual inclination. However, when afflicted or ill-placed (such as in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, or under malefic aspects), Jupiter’s expansive nature can lead to various physical and psychological disorders. Below are some common diseases associated with a negatively placed Jupiter:
1. Acidity, Gas, and Indigestion
Jupiter governs the liver and digestive system. When afflicted, it leads to excessive bile or irregular digestive fire (Agni), causing:
Frequent acidity or heartburn
Flatulence and bloating
Slow digestion
A feeling of heaviness after meals
These problems often stem from overeating, rich food consumption, or lack of digestive discipline—traits amplified by a poorly placed Jupiter.
2. Obesity
One of Jupiter’s key functions is expansion. When in excess, this manifests physically as weight gain. A weak or over-inflated Jupiter can cause:
Accumulation of fat, especially around the abdomen
Sluggish metabolism
Laziness and overindulgence in food
Obesity caused by Jupiter is not just physical—it is symbolic of overindulgence and lack of self-regulation, which Jupiter governs when in balance.
3. Hernia
As Jupiter controls the abdominal region, its affliction can cause structural weaknesses in the abdominal wall, especially when:
Conjunct or aspected by malefic planets like Rahu or Mars
Placed in the 6th or 8th house
Weak in strength or retrograde
This may lead to issues like inguinal or umbilical hernia, which often require surgical correction.
4. Blood Disorders
Though not the direct ruler of blood (which is more under Mars’ domain), Jupiter’s influence on the liver and bone marrow can affect blood quality. Afflicted Jupiter can cause:
Impurities in blood
Elevated bilirubin (linked to jaundice)
Clotting disorders
Hemorrhoids or internal bleeding issues
These disorders often reflect an imbalance in the liver's filtration functions, which Jupiter rules.
5. Jaundice
Jupiter governs the liver, and a weak Jupiter can cause:
Hepatitis
Fatty liver disease
Jaundice (high bilirubin levels)
Sluggish bile production
Such liver-related diseases may be worsened by overeating, alcohol, or a sedentary lifestyle—traits often seen when Jupiter loses its sattvic influence.
6. Allergies
An afflicted Jupiter may indicate sensitivity to environmental or dietary triggers, leading to:
Food allergies
Skin reactions (urticaria, rashes)
Respiratory allergies (dust, pollen, etc.)
These arise from a weak immune response and poor liver detoxification, again pointing to Jupiter’s impaired functioning.
7. Procrastination
Jupiter represents inspiration, optimism, and the drive for higher goals. When afflicted or combust:
One may feel demotivated or disconnected from purpose
There’s a tendency to delay responsibilities
Laziness and overthinking can take over
This mental lethargy stems from a lack of clear vision or excessive comfort-seeking—hallmarks of a troubled Jupiter.
Final Thoughts
Jupiter’s diseases are often a result of excess—too much food, too much comfort, too little discipline. When afflicted, it leads to both physical expansion (like obesity) and psychological stagnation (like procrastination). To balance a weak Jupiter, one must adopt a sattvic lifestyle: disciplined eating, generous giving, spiritual practices, and continuous learning.
Remedial measures include chanting the Guru Beej Mantra, wearing yellow sapphire (Pukhraj) under expert guidance, observing Thursday fasts, and showing respect to teachers and elders.
