Where Jupiter actually is today
Computed at sunrise for the reference place. A planet sits in a given house for exactly one ascendant at a time — the sign it occupies is the 10th house of only one lagna.

It depends on your ascendant
The same placement reads differently from each of the twelve ascendants, because the 10th house is a different sign for each — and Jupiter is exalted in one sign and debilitated in another. This table is computed from the classical rulership and dignity tables, not written by hand.
| Ascendant | 10th house sign | Sign lord | Jupiter’s dignity | Jupiter rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | Capricorn | Saturn | Debilitated | 9th, 12th |
| Taurus | Aquarius | Saturn | Neutral | 8th, 11th |
| Gemini | Pisces | Jupiter(own house) | Own sign | 7th, 10th |
| Cancer | Aries | Mars | Friend’s sign | 6th, 9th |
| Leo | Taurus | Venus | Enemy’s sign | 5th, 8th |
| Virgo | Gemini | Mercury | Enemy’s sign | 4th, 7th |
| Libra | Cancer | Moon | Exalted | 3rd, 6th |
| Scorpio | Leo | Sun | Friend’s sign | 2nd, 5th |
| Sagittarius | Virgo | Mercury | Enemy’s sign | 1st, 4th |
| Capricorn | Libra | Venus | Enemy’s sign | 3rd, 12th |
| Aquarius | Scorpio | Mars | Friend’s sign | 2nd, 11th |
| Pisces | Sagittarius | Jupiter(own house) | Moolatrikona | 1st, 10th |
Strongest from Libra — Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. Weakest from Aries, where it falls in Capricorn.
What it aspects from here
From the 10th house, Jupiter aspects the 2nd, 4th, 6th houses. Jupiter has special 5th and 9th aspects in addition to the 7th. An aspect carries the planet's nature into those houses, so a placement is never confined to the house it sits in.
The 10th house
The tenth is the top of the chart — the most visible point, the house of what you do and what you are known for. It is a kendra and an upachaya: a house that grows with effort. All four of its karakas are planets of action, which is unusual and tells you how much weight the texts put here.
Karaka: Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn · Signifies: profession and livelihood; status, authority and reputation; action in public life; government, superiors and command
Jupiter as a planet
Guru is the great benefic — expansion, wisdom, faith, teachers, children and wealth. He gives generosity, optimism and the ability to see the larger pattern, and his aspect on a house protects it. His weakness is the same as his strength: Jupiter expands whatever he touches, including the problems.
Nature: Benefic · Karaka of: wisdom, wealth, children and dharma · Day: Thursday

FAQ
Jupiter in the 10th house — common questions
What does Jupiter in the 10th house mean?
Jupiter in the tenth gives an honourable career and a reputation for integrity — teaching, law, finance, medicine, advisory work, or any profession where being trusted is the qualification. The texts read it as steady rise rather than dramatic ascent, and as work that helps others. The 10th house (Karma Bhava) rules profession and livelihood, status, authority and reputation, action in public life, and Jupiter is the karaka of wisdom, wealth, children and dharma. Classically it is a kendra, upachaya house, which shapes how a benefic planet behaves there.
Is Jupiter in the 10th house good or bad?
It depends on the ascendant, and this is where most articles stop. From an Libra ascendant the 10th house is Cancer, where Jupiter is exalted. From Aries it is Capricorn, where Jupiter is debilitated. The table on this page gives the dignity and rulership for all twelve ascendants.
Which houses does Jupiter aspect from the 10th house?
The 2nd, the 4th, the 6th houses. Jupiter has special 5th and 9th aspects in addition to the 7th.
Which ascendant has Jupiter in the 10th house right now?
Exactly one at any moment: the sign Jupiter currently occupies is the 10th house of a single ascendant. The card on this page computes it from today's ephemeris and says when Jupiter moves on. In a birth chart, though, what matters is where Jupiter stood at your birth — the free kundli calculator gives that.
Does Jupiter in the 10th house affect marriage?
Not directly. Marriage is read from the 7th house, its lord, Venus and the Navamsa. A 10th-house placement matters only through the houses Jupiter rules and aspects from there — which this page's table sets out per ascendant.
