Chandra + Budha + Brihaspati / Moon + Mercury + Jupiter in the 12th House

3-graha yuti · Vyaya Bhava

In shortJupiter joins the Moon and Mercury, forming Gajakesari: a wise, articulate, learned and popular mind, excellent for teaching, counsel, writing and public service. Over-thinking and lecturing are the small vices. In the 12th house (Vyaya) all of that pours into expenditure, foreign lands, isolation and spiritual liberation.

Brihaspati (Jupiter) in the 12th houseBenefic
