The Jupiter Chart

original: "Guru Kundali." This is an astrological diagram centered on the position and influence of Jupiter (Guru), the planet of wisdom and expansion.

In this way, fifteen cells are produced. 41 In that respective place, Mercury and the Moon should be honored meaning: placed or calculated. Jupiter and Saturn are placed in the path?... 42 Saturn, the Son of the Lioness? original: "Simhika," a name for Rahu ... in the Jupiter Chart, the movement of the planets occurs in the heavens?. 43 Where the birth constellation original: "janmabha," the Nakshatra or lunar mansion the person was born under is observed, one should count from the fourth planet onwards in reverse order—Mars, Venus, and the others—to determine the auspicious or inauspicious nature [of the time]. 44

Furthermore, starting from the birth constellation, for every position [one counts] a year. In auspicious years, one finds goodness; in years ruled by malefic unfavorable planets, one finds misfortune. 45 In "death-years," life is surely destroyed. In auspicious [years], children and wealth original: "sute-ham," likely referring to progeny are gained; under a malefic planet, it is the opposite. 46

Now, the Jupiter Flag. original: "Guru Pataki." A specific predictive technique using a "flag" (pataki) metaphor to determine planetary dominance over a specific time.
