Guru (Jupiter) is brighter and bigger than the other planets next to the Sun. He is the commander for the Number 3 in astrology, i.e. the persons having date in the date of birth as 3, 12, 21. He takes one year to move from one Rasi to another. He is the minister in the cabinet of Indran and is the Deva Guru. He is also called Bruhaspathi. According to astrology, if any planet giving adverse effects in a person's horoscope has Guru's aspect on it, the adverse effects of that planet cannot be carried out.
Lord Bramha created nine persons called Prajapathi to assist him in the Creation of the Earth. Aangeerasar is one of the Prajapathi. Bruhaspathi was born to Aangeerasar and Vasoodha. Bruhaspathi was well versed in Vedhas and arts, so he was nominated as Advisor (Guru) for the Devas and was also called Devaguru. He had two wives, Tara and Sangini, and a son called Kasan. The Devas will not do anything without consulting him. He takes one year to cross 30 degrees on a Rasi (Zodiac). His auspicious day is Thursday. In the human body, the Liver, Ribs, Blood, and Blood vessels are under the control of Jupiter.
