The native might choose the wrong path in life.
A weak Jupiter may bring disrepute to the person, and their image in society may suffer.
The person may not be able to command the respect of their guardian or teacher.
The native may also be devoid of wealth and children.
People with weak Jupiter suffer from lack of confidence, faith and concentration.
They tend to be pessimistic, materialistic and spiritually bankrupt. In addition, natives with a weak Jupiter may often face financial struggles in life.
A weak Jupiter may cause health issues such as diabetes, obesity, inflammation, and problems related to the stomach, liver, hips, and feet. Dryness of skin may also occur.
