It depends on your ascendant
The same placement reads differently from each of the twelve ascendants, because the 4th 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 | 4th house sign | Sign lord | Jupiter’s dignity | Jupiter rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | Cancer | Moon | Exalted | 9th, 12th |
| Taurus | Leo | Sun | Friend’s sign | 8th, 11th |
| Gemini | Virgo | Mercury | Enemy’s sign | 7th, 10th |
| Cancer | Libra | Venus | Enemy’s sign | 6th, 9th |
| Leo | Scorpio | Mars | Friend’s sign | 5th, 8th |
| Virgo | Sagittarius | Jupiter(own house) | Moolatrikona | 4th, 7th |
| Libra | Capricorn | Saturn | Debilitated | 3rd, 6th |
| Scorpio | Aquarius | Saturn | Neutral | 2nd, 5th |
| Sagittarius | Pisces | Jupiter(own house) | Own sign | 1st, 4th |
| Capricorn | Aries | Mars | Friend’s sign | 3rd, 12th |
| Aquarius | Taurus | Venus | Enemy’s sign | 2nd, 11th |

What it aspects from here
From the 4th house, Jupiter aspects the 8th, 10th, 12th 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 4th house
The fourth is the foundation of the chart — the base of the wheel, opposite the tenth. It rules the mother, the home, land and vehicles, and the private happiness that does not show in public. A strong fourth is why some people are unshakeable and others are not.

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.

Not directly. Marriage is read from the 7th house, its lord, Venus and the Navamsa. A 4th-house placement matters only through the houses Jupiter rules and aspects from there — which this page's table sets out per ascendant.
