Jupiters influence leads a person to be righteous
Jupiter’s influence leads a person to be righteous. While right action matters, so does presence and emotions. If emotional needs(moon) along with “sexual bond” gets ignored, Jupiter alone can’t hold a marriage. Emotions need grounding. If we look at the 7th house- owned and governed by Libra, this indeed is a rashi of “relationship/partnership” but is also associated with contracts, negotiation and deals. So Libra is about mutual benefit, not “self-centeredness”.
Shukracharya’s move on Libra is simple ” I support you, because it works for me too”
Story: An extramarital affair that lead to war between Deva and Asura….
Brihaspati was married to Tara, and he was always busy with rituals and duties.
Tara felt ignored and fell in love with Chandra- the moon, and the affair began. She eloped with him.
Brahaspati without Tara was unable to perform yagnas, no offerings to devtas. Not that he missed her, but it hurt him to see his wife with someone else. So, he sought help from Indra- the king of gods. When Indra saw there were no offerings being made to gods, he panicked and demanded Chandra to return Tara.
Shukracharya supported Tara’s choice. This sounds progressive. But it benefitted him too as this would help him fight the devatas. He knew if Tara continued with Chandra, the devatas will starve with no offerings and he will easily defeat them.
That’s why Shukracharya is a guru of Asura and rules Libra- the rashi of negotiations and contracts.
The war began between Devatas supporting Brihaspati and Shukracharya supporting Chandra.
Even though Tara came back out of obligation, duty she came back pregnant. She gave birth to “Budh” the lord of logic, intellect, analytics….Budh automatically became the progenitor of the Chandravanshi…(Mind ruled by practicality and logic, when duty/dharma is at stake).
Devatas and asuras stood opposite to an ideological divide. Asuras supported Tara’s choice of freedom, because they saw their benefit in it, Devatas opposed her choice not because they condemned adultery but because it would starve them.
Principles change based on convenience or when resources are threatened weather its gods or asuras.
