The text “Jataka Parijata” describes the post-death course of the soul. It holds that if Jupiter is in the ascendant at the time of death, the soul’s destination is believed to be the realm of the gods (Devlok); if the Sun or Mars is there, the realm of death (Mrityulok); if the Moon or Venus, the realm of the ancestors (Pitrilok); and if Mercury or Saturn, the realm of hell (Narak Lok).
If a benefic planet occupies the twelfth house and the lord of the twelfth house is strong and aspected by a benefic, this is considered a yoga for attaining liberation (moksha). If Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu conjoins the eighth-house lord while placed in the twelfth house, the soul’s destination is believed to be hell. When Jupiter and Ketu are connected with the twelfth house in the birth chart, this too is considered a yoga for attaining liberation.
The positions of Jupiter, Saturn, and Rahu in the chart are believed to reflect the fruits or effects received from souls and from the deeds of past lives.

- Jupiter in the Second or Eighth House Jupiter in the second or eighth house suggests that the person may have been a saint, a person of saintly nature, or someone with a religious disposition in their past life.

As life progresses, their religious inclination is said to grow, and they are believed to live a simple yet contented life, eventually passing away peacefully.
- Jupiter in the Third House Jupiter in the third house is associated with the belief that a woman among the person’s ancestors became “sati” (a woman who died on her husband’s funeral pyre), and by her blessing the person leads a happy life.
