Cancer and peepal tree

The holiest tree, Peepal, is the zodiac tree for Cancer people, who will eternally revel in the divine green rains. The Peepal tree is associated with the planet Jupiter in astrology. Jupiter is Astrology’s most beneficial planet. Its presence is always both charming and satisfying. The peepal tree (also known as the “Bodhi Tree”) is regarded auspicious in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. Gautam Buddha obtained enlightenment under this native deciduous tree of India. This tree is honoured as the Tree of Life throughout the Indian subcontinent, particularly among Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists, as a symbol of the Universe’s never-ending breadth.
