It depends on your ascendant
The same placement reads differently from each of the twelve ascendants, because the 7th 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 | 7th house sign | Sign lord | Jupiter’s dignity | Jupiter rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | Libra | Venus | Enemy’s sign | 9th, 12th |
| Taurus | Scorpio | Mars | Friend’s sign | 8th, 11th |
| Gemini | Sagittarius | Jupiter(own house) | Moolatrikona | 7th, 10th |
| Cancer | Capricorn | Saturn | Debilitated | 6th, 9th |
| Leo | Aquarius | Saturn | Neutral | 5th, 8th |
| Virgo | Pisces | Jupiter(own house) | Own sign | 4th, 7th |
| Libra | Aries | Mars | Friend’s sign | 3rd, 6th |
| Scorpio | Taurus | Venus | Enemy’s sign | 2nd, 5th |
| Sagittarius | Gemini | Mercury | Enemy’s sign | 1st, 4th |
| Capricorn | Cancer | Moon | Exalted | 3rd, 12th |
| Aquarius | Leo | Sun | Friend’s sign | 2nd, 11th |
| Pisces | Virgo | Mercury | Enemy’s sign | 1st, 10th |
Strongest from Capricorn — Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. Weakest from Cancer, where it falls in Capricorn.
What it aspects from here
From the 7th house, Jupiter aspects the 11th, 1st, 3rd 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 7th house
The seventh is the house directly opposite the self: the other person, and everything negotiated with them. Marriage, business partnership and public dealing all sit here. It is also a maraka house, which is why the classical texts read it with more care than a modern reader expects.
Karaka: Venus · Signifies: spouse and marriage; business partnership and contracts; public dealings and open enemies; passion and desire
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.
