Jupiter in the 7th House in Vedic Astrology
Jupiter signifies wisdom, children, teachers, wealth and religion. The 7th house, Yuvati bhāva, governs the spouse, partnerships, trade and travel. Below is what the classical texts say when Jupiter stands there, verse by verse, before the Shubham Method's modern reading.

Where this layer and the classical texts differ, the classical texts take precedence.
Translated directly from the Sanskrit; verse numbers follow the editions used by the Vedastro engine. These are classical associations — tendencies, not certainties. 1 statement that names an age or a death is left out here: it can only be judged from the whole chart.
Questions
What does Jupiter in the 7th house mean in Vedic astrology?
Jupiter signifies wisdom, children, teachers, wealth and religion; the 7th house (Yuvati) governs the spouse, partnerships, trade and travel. In an angle or trine it tends to give long life, intelligence, wealth and the favour of those in power.
Is Jupiter in the 7th house good or bad?
Neither on its own. The texts change the result with the planet's dignity (exalted, own sign, debilitated), the planets joined with it or aspecting it, and the strength of the house lord; the conditional lines above show how. The result then ripens in the planet's own period (daśā).
How do I know which house Jupiter is in?
You need your birth date, time and place. The free Vedastro calculator computes the sidereal (Lahiri) chart and shows the house of every planet.
