In short: With Gemini (Mithuna) rising, the eleventh house is Aries (Mesha), so Jupiter here sits in Aries, in a friend's sign, ruled by Mars. Gemini rising gives Jupiter the 7th and 10th houses to rule, so it counts as neutral (benefic owning an angle: kendradhipati). Expect Jupiter's themes to play out through gains and networks, in Aries's style.

Jupiter in Aries: the eleventh house for Gemini rising
Every Gemini-rising chart has Aries on the 11th house, the house of gains, friends, networks and wishes and the house of gains, an upachaya house. Aries adds speed, courage and a need to act first. As one of this house's karakas, Jupiter is especially at home in its subject. Because Mars governs the 6th as well, the 11th and 6th are linked in this chart.
Jupiter in the 11th brings abundant gains, supportive friends and mentors, and fulfilment of wishes. By sign, Jupiter is in a friend's sign, ruled by Mars. It cooperates well with the sign lord.
The houses Jupiter rules for Gemini rising
Sagittarius and Pisces fall on the 7th and 10th for this ascendant, so Jupiter is neutral (benefic owning an angle: kendradhipati) · maraka by Parashari rules. Read the lordship and the placement together:
As 7th lord in the 11th: The 7th lord in the 11th brings gains through marriage and partnership, a sociable spouse, and wishes fulfilled with a partner's help.
As 10th lord in the 11th: The 10th lord in the 11th brings gains from career and a wide professional network; ambitions in work tend to be fulfilled.
As badhaka lord (7th lord for a dual lagna), Jupiter can bring unexpected hindrances in its periods.
Ruling the 7th, Jupiter is technically a maraka in longevity work; that is a calculation label, not a prediction.
The classic view: Jupiter rules two angles, the 7th and 10th, for Gemini rising and carries kendradhipati dosha; it is also a maraka, so its results depend heavily on placement.
Jupiter and the lagna lord
With Mercury ruling the chart, Jupiter counts as a natural enemy; its house is a supporting house. Expect some tension between what it gives and what the person wants.
Aspects from the 11th house
Jupiter's glance falls on:
the 3rd house by its 5th aspect: it protects and expands courage, skills and siblings; that house is Leo, ruled by the Sun, so warmth is what it touches.
the 5th house by its 7th aspect: it blesses children, intelligence and romance with growth; that house is Libra, ruled by Venus, so grace is what it touches.
the 7th house by its 9th aspect: it brings help and good counsel to marriage and partnership; that house is Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, so optimism is what it touches.
Which nakshatra: Aries in parts
Aries spans parts of 3 nakshatras, and the one Jupiter occupies adds its lord's agenda for Gemini rising:
0°–13°20′ Aries: Ashwini, a Ketu nakshatra, bringing sudden insight; its gift is healing speed, its shadow impatience.
13°20′–26°40′ Aries: Bharani, under Venus, which for Gemini rising rules the 5th and 12th, so expenses, foreign lands and retreat enter the reading; for work it points to work with birth, death, transformation, finance, film and pleasure trades.
26°40′–30° Aries: Krittika, ruled by the Sun, lord of the 3rd here, which brings courage, skills and siblings into it; its gift is clear discrimination, its shadow harsh words.
Love and marriage
In the 11th Jupiter brings a partner through good friends, mentors or community; wishes in love tend to be fulfilled when patience is kept. Whatever the house, Jupiter in relationships brings faith, generosity and principle into love: a partner who is wise, ethical or a teacher of some kind is favoured. Because it rules the 7th, marriage in this chart is lived out through gains and networks, and the partner often shows something of Aries: speed, courage and a need to act first. It casts an aspect onto the 7th (Sagittarius), which makes it a direct witness for the spouse. Its aspect on the 5th (Libra) touches romance and children. Jupiter is the traditional karaka of the husband, Venus of the wife; in practice both are weighed for anyone. Because Jupiter rules the 7th here, its placement is the primary marriage signature, read with Venus and the Navamsa.
Career and money
Jupiter in the 11th brings abundant gains, helpful mentors and growing networks; wishes are fulfilled with patience. Typical careers for Jupiter, more widely: education, finance, the law, advisory work and religious or charitable institutions. As 10th lord it is the career planet for Gemini rising, so the work itself tends to involve gains and networks. From the 11th it bears directly on gains and the fulfilment of goals. Fiery Aries favours work where it can lead. Jupiter rules only angles here, so it carries kendradhipati dosha, the classical caution that a natural benefic owning angles loses some of its gentleness; much depends on its sign and company. As for wealth, wealth grows through wisdom, ethics and patient accumulation.
Family and home
At home, the blessing of elders and a strong family ethic support the person. Home and mother are better read from Mercury, lord of the 4th (Virgo).
When it gives results: the Jupiter dasha
The Jupiter period (16 years in Vimshottari) brings the 7th, 10th and 11th into focus. Expect it to feel dependent on its associations. Its age of maturity, about 16, often marks a turning point.
Putting it together
For a Gemini-rising person, Jupiter in the 11th carries the 7th and 10th-house affairs (marriage and partnership and career and status) into gains and networks, in Aries's manner. Overall, with lordship and dignity weighed together, it reads as mixed. At ease in its sign, it delivers steadily. Watch the Jupiter periods for the clearest results.
