In short: With Pisces (Meena) rising, the seventh house is Virgo (Kanya), so Jupiter here sits in Virgo, in an enemy's sign, ruled by Mercury. Pisces rising gives Jupiter the 1st and 10th houses to rule, so it counts as benefic (lagna lord). Expect Jupiter's themes to play out through marriage and partnership, in Virgo's style.

Jupiter in Virgo: the seventh house for Pisces rising
The 7th house, marriage, partners and contracts, is always Virgo when Pisces rises; it is an angle (kendra) and a maraka house. Virgo adds precision, service and a critical eye. The house's natural significator is Venus, worth checking alongside. Mercury also rules the 4th for Pisces rising, so what Jupiter does here echoes there.
Jupiter in the 7th brings a wise, principled spouse and success through partnerships, advice and public trust. By sign, Jupiter is in an enemy's sign, ruled by Mercury. It works, though not with ease.
The houses Jupiter rules for Pisces rising
Sagittarius and Pisces fall on the 1st and 10th for this ascendant, so Jupiter is benefic (lagna lord) by Parashari rules. Read the lordship and the placement together:
As 1st lord in the 7th: When the lagna lord sits in the 7th, life is lived through partnership. Marriage, business associates and the public mirror the self, and the person often travels or settles away from birthplace.
As 10th lord in the 7th: The 10th lord in the 7th links career with partnership and the public: business, trade, consulting or a career shared with the spouse.
Jupiter and the lagna lord
As lagna lord, Jupiter shows where the person puts their life force: here, into marriage and partnership.
Aspects from the 7th house
From the 7th, Jupiter aspects:
the 1st house by its 7th aspect: it protects and expands self and body; that house is Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, so compassion is what it touches.
the 3rd house by its 9th aspect: it blesses courage, skills and siblings with growth; that house is Taurus, ruled by Venus, so steadiness is what it touches.
the 11th house by its 5th aspect: it brings help and good counsel to gains and networks; that house is Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, so discipline is what it touches.
Which nakshatra: Virgo in parts
Virgo spans parts of 3 nakshatras, and the one Jupiter occupies adds its lord's agenda for Pisces rising:
0°–10° Virgo: Uttara Phalguni, a Sun nakshatra, linking the placement with the 6th (work, health and rivals); for work it points to administration, contracts, marriage services, social work and government.
10°–23°20′ Virgo: Hasta, a Moon nakshatra, linking the placement with the 5th (children, intelligence and romance); its gift is skilful hands, its shadow cleverness that turns sly.
23°20′–30° Virgo: Chitra, a Mars nakshatra, linking the placement with the 2nd and 9th (wealth, family and speech; fortune, faith and teachers); its gift is the eye of a maker, its shadow vanity and perfectionism.
Love and marriage
In the 7th Jupiter favours a wise, ethical and supportive spouse and a marriage founded on shared values; the partner often brings growth, counsel or good fortune. Whatever the house, Jupiter in relationships seeks a partner of good character and shared values, and tends to be generous and forgiving. Toward Mercury, ruler of the 7th (Virgo), Jupiter is a natural enemy: a sign that love and its own agenda need reconciling. For marriage, also read Mercury, lord of the 7th (Virgo) for Pisces rising, and Venus wherever it sits.
Career and money
Jupiter in the 7th favours partnerships, consultancy and public trust; advisors and partners help the career. Typical careers for Jupiter, more widely: education, finance, the law, advisory work and religious or charitable institutions. Being the 10th lord, it ties profession and reputation to marriage and partnership. Earthy Virgo favours steady, practical work. Financially, wealth grows through wisdom, ethics and patient accumulation. Its aspect on the 11th (Capricorn) also touches income and gains.
Family and home
At home, elders, children and family values are a source of protection. The 4th house here is Gemini, ruled by Mercury, which says more about home than Jupiter does.
When it gives results: the Jupiter dasha
Jupiter's Vimshottari mahadasha runs 16 years; in it, and in Jupiter antardashas, the 1st, 7th and 10th houses come forward. For Pisces rising the tone is mostly constructive. Results are said to mature after about age 16.
Putting it together
Taken together: self and body and career and status get worked out through marriage and partnership, in Jupiter's manner and Virgo's style. Counting lordship, sign and house, the net picture is supportive, with conditions. The enemy sign adds some friction, so delivery can be uneven in timing. Watch the Jupiter periods for the clearest results.
Working with this placement
Most useful in daily life: talk openly with the partner and keep agreements fair. Learning, teaching and generosity toward teachers support Jupiter; Thursday observances and giving to students are traditional. Traditional practices support effort; they never replace it.
How this differs for other rising signs
Shift the ascendant by one sign and the story changes: for Aries rising Jupiter would sit in Libra ruling the 9th and 12th, and for Aquarius rising Jupiter would sit in Leo ruling the 2nd and 11th.
