The planet Jupiter in Vedic astrology is known as GURU, BRIHASPATI, and DEVAGURA.

In Sanskrit
these names mean, "teacher, lord of light, and teacher to the gods."

For example, although Jupiter is exalted in Cancer there are 3 different Nakshatras Jupiter could
occupy within the 30 arc of Cancer, namely, Punarvasu (2000 Gemini to 320
Cancer), Pushya (320 to 1640 Cancer), and Ashlesha (1640 to 2959 Cancer).[12] Since Jupiter
is exalted at 5 Cancer this placement signifies his true exaltation in Pushya Nakshatra.[13] The
Nakshatra Devata of Pushya is Bhaspati, the teacher of the Gods.[14]Jupiter will not give his full
exaltation effects when he is posited in a Nakshatra besides Pushya although he is still generally
exalted in the sign of Cancer. Furthermore, each Nakshatra is divided into four sections, also
called pda, and when taking 1320/4 results in a precise arc of 320 per pda. The four pda
denote the four goals of life according to the Vedic tradition, namely, Dharma, Artha, Kma,
and Moka.[15] Although Jupiter finds strong exaltation in Pushya there are four different pda Jupiter
could occupy within the 1320 arc of Pushya, namely, Dharma pda (320-640 Cancer), Artha
pda (640-1000 Cancer), Kma pda (1000-1320 Cancer), and Moka pda (1320-1640
Cancer). Since Jupiter is exalted at 5 Cancer this signifies "deep" exaltation in the heart of the
Dharma pda of Pushya Nakshatra in the sign of Cancer which provides the astronomical reasoning
of Jupiters exaltation degree. Esoterically speaking, when Jupiter is in Cancer (which signifies the
heart), and is being influenced by Bhaspati (the teacher of the Gods), and is directed toward
righteous action (Dharma pda) Jupiter is functioning in 100% exaltation, concerning everything
Jupiter represents.
The sign position directly opposite a planet's sign of exaltation is considered to be its fall. As the
exaltation is a place of awareness for the planet, the "fall" is a position of weakness concerning the
function of the planet, including everything else the planet represents.
