Wisdom, teachers, and generous growth
Jupiter (Guru / Brihaspati): Wisdom, teachers, and generous growth.
In Indian Vedic Jyotish charts, Guru is read mainly for wisdom, teachers, and expansion.
What Guru represents
Guru stands for wisdom, teachers, and expansion. Strengths people often mention include learning and faith that widen life. Under stress, themes may include dogma or excess when growth skips humility.
Guru can show up in any rashi in a birth chart. Old lists still name the rashis it rules.
Daily horoscopes mention Guru when transits highlight its themes. Birth-chart work looks at sign, house, and aspects.
