How it forms

Condition
Jupiter is conjunct Rahu (or Ketu) in the same house.
Results
The person questions tradition and authority, is at odds with teachers and elders, follows unorthodox beliefs, is of doubtful morals and given to deceit, suffers loss of reputation through his own conduct, and has trouble regarding children. If Jupiter is strong and well placed, the person becomes a brilliant and original thinker, gains through foreign or unusual knowledge, and rises by unconventional means.
