The Jupiter-Moon connection is placed in the category of extraordinary yoga in Vedic astrology. The name, fame, and money are drawn automatically towards the native who was born with this planetary combination. This planetary combination becomes effective when Jupiter and Moon are situated in full effect and without any effect of malefic planets. If the Ascendant is in Cancer or Sagittarius or Pisces or Aries or Scorpio, it is considered with good effect.
In the 12 houses of a horoscope, if Jupiter and Moon get co-existed in a house, it makes the Gaja Kesari Yoga. If Jupiter is sitting in the 4th, 7th and 10th house in the center position from the position of the Moon also makes Gaja Kesari Yoga. This yoga is basically formed by the combination of Jupiter and the Moon. If Jupiter becomes the owner of the center or triangle position, the effect of the yoga becomes optimum. Similarly, if the Moon is sitting in its own house, the effect of yoga remains with the immense result.
This yoga provides miraculous results provided the Jupiter is not in 0o -1o, or 29o-30o, the Jupiter should not be debilitated, low powered, and harmful to the Rashi. The house placement and degree placement are very important things for this yoga. In this case, both of the planets Moon and Jupiter below 1o and more than 29o are considered sleeping and not beneficial for this yoga.
The natives born in Gaja Kesari Yoga will have various qualities and status in life like politeness, consciousness, qualitative character, a follower of traditional values, multiple friends, liked by everyone, famous in the society, talented, bold character, meritorious, knowledgeable, having knowledge in multiple subjects, happy in family life, live life like a king, having children, wealthy, high ranked officer, multiple happiness, love to travel, love to eat sweets, remain physically fit, glamourous, etc.
