Jupiter and the Water element
Jupiter in a water sign gives compassion, devotion and spiritual depth. The rishis held this to be one of Jupiter's most blessed climates, since grace and feeling flow together here. The native is often a natural caregiver, healer or spiritual seeker. Pilgrimage, service and worship near sacred waters are the traditional observances that suit it.
How Pisces shapes the pace of Jupiter

Reading a planet by sign
The sign shows how a planet expresses itself: its style, tastes and comfort. The house it occupies shows where in life that style is used, and the aspects and conjunctions it receives show who and what it works with. A planet's dignity (exalted, own sign, friendly, neutral, enemy or debilitated) tells you how easily it delivers its natural significations. Positions on these pages use the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri Ayanamsa.
