Aspects from the 10th house

• the 2nd house by its 5th aspect: it brings help and good counsel to wealth, family and speech; that house is Gemini, ruled by Mercury, so curiosity is what it touches.

• the 4th house by its 7th aspect: it protects and expands home, mother and property; that house is Leo, ruled by the Sun, so warmth is what it touches.

• the 6th house by its 9th aspect: it blesses work, health and rivals with growth; that house is Libra, ruled by Venus, so grace is what it touches.

Which nakshatra: Aquarius in parts

Aquarius spans parts of 3 nakshatras, and the one Jupiter occupies adds its lord's agenda for Taurus rising:

• 0°–6°40′ Aquarius: Dhanishta, ruled by Mars, lord of the 7th and 12th here, which brings marriage and partnership into it; in love it is generous and rhythmic but can stay busy rather than intimate.

• 6°40′–20° Aquarius: Shatabhisha, under Rahu, adding a hungry undertone; in love it needs space and can be secretive or solitary in love.

• 20°–30° Aquarius: Purva Bhadrapada, ruled by Jupiter itself, so the effect is undiluted; in love it is intense and idealistic, and swings between devotion and detachment.

Love and marriage

In the 10th Jupiter gives a respected public life that a partner can be proud of; the relationship benefits when ethics at work and at home are the same. Whatever the house, Jupiter in relationships seeks a partner of good character and shared values, and tends to be generous and forgiving. As 8th lord it touches the marriage's depth and shared resources, read alongside the 7th. Jupiter counts as a natural friend of Mars, the marriage lord here; friendship between them eases partnership. Tradition also reads Jupiter as the significator of the husband (and Venus of the wife); modern astrologers usually read both planets for everyone. The 7th house here is Scorpio, ruled by Mars; that lord's condition matters as much as this placement.

Career and money

Jupiter in the 10th gives respected work in teaching, law, finance, religion or management; reputation grows through integrity. Jupiter's natural fields also include education, finance, the law, advisory work and religious or charitable institutions. The 10th lord here is Saturn; Jupiter is neutral toward it, which neither helps nor hinders the career link. From the 10th house it speaks first-hand about career and reputation. In Aquarius, an air sign, it works through ideas and people. Financially, wealth grows through wisdom, ethics and patient accumulation. Its aspect on the 2nd (Gemini) reaches savings and family wealth.

Family and home

On the family side, elders, children and family values are a source of protection. Its aspect on the 4th (Leo) reaches home and mother.
