Jupiter in the 7th gives a wise, ethical, fortunate spouse and success in partnerships; marriage is usually supportive.
What the 7th house governs
The 7th house, Kalatra bhava, covers marriage, spouse, partnerships, business dealings and public life. It is a kendra (angular) house, one of the pillars of the chart.
What Jupiter brings
Guru (Brihaspati), Jupiter, is the teacher of the gods and the greatest natural benefic. It brings wisdom, dharma, children and good fortune.
What changes the result
- Sign and dignity: Jupiter exalted or in its own sign gives the best version of this placement; debilitated or in an enemy sign, the weaker version.
- House lordship: which houses Jupiter rules for your Lagna decides whose matters it carries into the 7th house.
- Aspects and conjunctions: Jupiter's aspect protects; Saturn, Mars or Rahu add pressure.
- Dasha: the placement shows most strongly during Jupiter's own Mahadasha or Antardasha (16-year Mahadasha).
