I am dealing here separately with the ascendants falling in even numbered signs like Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces because, for some ascendants the Jupiter is Functional Malefic Planet and for the rest even numbered ascendants it is Functional Benefic Planet. Another aspect was to consider the transit Gemini position of Jupiter as being in dustana, say for Scorpio ascendant, Gemini becomes the 8th house and Jupiter is a Functional Benefic Planet.

In this article, I am giving at the end remedial measures for propitiating the functional malefic Jupiter.
