Well Edg - I am sure the evil Hindus were referring to Jupiter as the King of the planets with reference to Jyotish/astrology.
I definitely consider Jupiter as very important part of the horoscope because it indicates the creative intelligence. It's called Guru - inner guide, it's basis - ether or the heavens - hence one's creative intelligence. It naturally rules Sagittarius and Pisces, 9th & 12th - the last of the fire/water trines - indicating - dharma/moksha - the pinnacle of one'sinner, outer search and their expression. So based upon the sign, house Jupiter is in, it's relation to other planets one can come to very good conclusions on how this creative intelligence manifests, expresses itself through the individual and in which areas of life - specifially the four ayanas of life Hindus define - dharma, artha, kama, moksha. That's all I have as a quick summary.
