Jupiter in the tradition
Jupiter — Guru or Brihaspati — is the teacher among the planets: wisdom, learning, children, dharma and steady growth. In Jyotish a strong Jupiter is the planet people most want on their side.
This grouping runs from one end of the range to the other. The 5 Mukhi is the most common Rudraksha there is and the usual first bead; the 21 Mukhi is among the rarest. Some texts give the 21 to Kubera rather than Jupiter, which is why it is marked as varying.

Common questions
Which Rudraksha is worn for Jupiter?
Traditionally 5 Mukhi and 21 Mukhi. Which one suits you depends on your chart and on what you intend the bead for, so treat this as a starting point rather than a prescription.
Which mantra is chanted with these beads?
Each bead has its own beej mantra. 5 Mukhi: Om Hreem Namah; 21 Mukhi: Om Hreem Hum Namah. It is traditionally chanted when the bead is first worn.
Do I need my birth chart before choosing?
Not necessarily. Many people choose by intention rather than by planet. If you do want the astrological route, an astrologer working from your own chart will give you a better answer than a category page can.
These are traditional associations recorded in Vedic and Puranic sources. They are described here as tradition, not as medical or therapeutic claims, and no bead is a substitute for medical care.
