Guru — The Divine Teacher
Guru (Brihaspati or Devaguru) is the teacher of the Devas — the supreme benefic in Jyotish who bestows wisdom, prosperity, dharma, progeny, and spiritual evolution. He is the largest planet, and his influence is equally expansive: wherever Guru sits in your chart, you experience growth, grace, and divine protection.
