education, vocation, true love, devotion, loyalty, life partner, family
& children, and life lived in accord with natural law. Our Guru connects
us with God, so in that respect he/she is the bringer of all of life's bountys.
In whatever area God's grace touches us - this is most often due to the
influence of Guru.

with 11 or 12 Nakshatra Guru regains his strength. The native suffers from
indigestion or similar chronic disease when Guru occupies the 2nd or 5th
place from lagna due to overeating of sweets and meat. Malefic Guru occupying
a Kendra or Kona place from lagna makes the native an egoist, tyrant and
he (the native) wants to rule over his subordinates ruthlessly. When the
planet is strong and favorable and is posited in Kendra or Kona from lagna
the native is bestowed with very many qualities such as high education,
learning, honesty, morality, intelligence and piety.
