When Jupiter is in conjunction /1st quadrant from Moon it is Guru Chandra Yoga (and by default it is Gaja Kesari) and Jupiter in other quadrants from Moon i.e. 4th (fourth), 7th (seventh) and 10th (tenth) then it is termed Gaja-kesari Yoga.

It is the most elevated yoga among all types of Gaja Kesari Yoga. Ancient Scholars had further deciphered this as Guru Chandra Yoga. And example of this kind of Gaja Kesari one could see in the horoscope of lord Rama where Moon in own sign Cancer is in conjunction with exalted Jupiter.

In India Astrology Jupiter is called Guru or Brihaspati by virtue of being in Guru of Devtā the Gods. The word Guru in Sanskrit also means big, large. In Astrology Dev Guru Brahaspati (Jupiter) is planet for Knowledge, wisdom, eloquence and righteousness. Chān (Silver) is in reference to Moon. In Urdu and Hindi Moon is called Chānd (चाँद).
