The conjunction Ketu + Jupiter
Ketu + Jupiter: fortune is unstable, success gives way to failure. It may lead to a fall in attempts at expansion, and this happens more often in the signs of Jupiter; Hitler, for instance, had Jupiter + Ketu in the 3rd house in Sagittarius, and his military expansion failed.
The combination Ketu + Jupiter may also give cruelty, hypocrisy and dogmatism in religion or philosophy.
With a strong Jupiter the native may have the ability to do things without preparation, spontaneously, since an inborn wisdom is present (the fruits of work on Jupiter from the past). Such people may come out with brilliant thoughts and revelations; they may be «spiritual naturals» and have an inborn leaning towards teaching.
An example of the conjunction Ketu + Jupiter.
The Lagnesha Jupiter stands with Ketu in a close conjunction in the 12th house in Scorpio. This gave the native a life far from the place of birth, and also an unstable situation with money (Jupiter is the karaka of fortune and of money). This is confirmed as well by the exchange of signs between the lords of the 2nd and the 8th houses. Jupiter with Ketu in the 12th also gave a distance from the child, since the child is disabled and lives in a specialised boarding institution. This trouble with the child is likewise confirmed by the placement of the lord of the 5th house — in the 8th house in fall with Saturn.

The influence of Ketu => Jupiter
Jupiter is stronger than Ketu — genius in understanding the philosophy of growth and development. A long time is needed for the practical formulation of knowledge. Quick learning and a quick grasp of the essence of knowledge. Constant reflection upon the meaning of what is happening.
Jupiter is weaker than Ketu — a closing off and fanaticism within certain paradigms. Narrowness of thinking. An imperviousness to common sense.
The influence of Jupiter => Ketu
Jupiter removes the barrier of Ketu that keeps energy, ideas and desires from coming out into the open. People with such an aspect are inexhaustible sources of ideas, motivation and inspiration. Usually such people take the role of teachers and beacons in society. At times they manage, on the basis of sensitive, attentive observation of their own revelations, to make outstanding discoveries.
With a weak, damaged or unfavourable Jupiter — deep depression and resentment at everything and everyone. A failure to understand what is going on inside and, as a consequence, a disturbance of the mental processes. Paranoia is possible.
