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. Its 8th-house lordship connects it to the longevity of the marriage bond and to in-laws, which some traditions call mangalya sthana. The 7th lord for Taurus rising is Mars, and Jupiter is a natural friend of it, so the two cooperate on relationship matters. Jupiter is the traditional karaka of the husband, Venus of the wife; in practice both are weighed for anyone. Scorpio holds the 7th for this ascendant, so Mars's strength shapes the marriage too.
