When Jupiter makes a transition into a different zodiac sign, astrologers usually speak of rashis, houses and remedies like Thursday fasts and yellow sapphires.In contrast, Vastu Shastra has a more silent and practical approach. Vastu says that the house’s North-East is governed by Jupiter. So, with the movement of Jupiter into Leo on October 31, this is the time to pay attention to the North-East. An uncluttered North-East enables the incoming energies of Jupiter to bless the house with wisdom, good judgment and financial stability.
Why the North-East Is Under the Influence of Jupiter
Vastu assigns planets for every direction. For example, East is ruled by the Sun, South-East by Venus, South by Mars and West by Saturn. North is ruled by Mercury, and last but not least, North-West is ruled by the Moon. The North-East is ruled by Jupiter.This pairing makes sense. Jupiter is considered the Guru, the teacher of the Gods, and is associated with knowledge, faith, children and luck. The North-East is the most sacred location of the home and the area dedicated to prayer and meditation. Both are connected with spiritual knowledge.
Making Space for Jupiter
The first stage comprises eliminating unnecessary items such as bulky trunks, useless electronic items, old garments, or fitness devices kept in the corner of the house only because they are not in use. Jupiter’s area should never become a storage place.It is important to keep the amount of electronic gadgets as low as possible in this area. If necessary, you may move your TV set, inverter, or speaker to the South-East, which is connected to fire and electricity.After clearing the corner, you should feel a certain lightness about it compared to the whole room. Ordinary light furniture is ideal, and the corner should get sufficient light and fresh air.
Making Jupiter’s Presence Stronger
Once the clearing is done, it is time to make a few additions to help Jupiter feel better.Yellow. The colour of Jupiter is yellow. You can use a yellow cloth on the side table, have a light yellow wall, or a vase with yellow flowers at this corner. Turmeric is a special item for Jupiter; in many Indian families, there exists a tradition of applying a small swastika with turmeric paste.Books and Education. Jupiter is responsible for education. You can place a small shelf with religious or educational books at this corner. For families with children, the common rule is to place the study table so that the child faces the North-East while studying.Jupiter is connected to gold. You may keep a brass diya, a brass bell, or a brass Ganesha statue here.You can keep a picture of the guru or teacher who helped you in your life in this direction, as Jupiter honours wisdom passed down from generation to generation.
Jupiter in Leo and the East
Leo is ruled by the Sun, which also rules the East. As Jupiter enters the sign of the Sun, pay more attention to the eastern part of the North-East corner. Besides, keep the east-facing windows clean for daylight to come in. A tulsi plant growing on the east-facing balcony will help both.If you want better career prospects, this eastern part of the North-East will help a lot.
Thursday Practice
A person should practise this method regularly, preferably on Thursdays. They should clean this area, change the flowers, and light a ghee diya. All this takes only a few minutes, and the area will become alive with Jupiter’s energy.Done regularly, this corner often becomes the most peaceful spot in the home.
