Do you have the blessings of great benefic in your married life?

Jupiter - the Great Benefic

Indian tradiiton calls Jupiter the mantri (councelor) and the devaguru (teacher of gods), is unparalled in giving his advice, and be impartial in his judgement.

Jupiter desires to benefit all, regardless of what they desire for him

Jupiter's wisdom, inspiration and intution lay a soothing balm upon the rash of problems that so readily besiege relationships.

Jupiter is called benefic because through his influcnce, a nourishing rasa can be extracted from an otherwise forlorn bhava. Jupiter gives good councel whereever he gazes.

• When raga is week, Jupiter enhances it
• When dvesha threatns, he tries to avert it

Consequently, when the respective Jupiters of two horoscope influennce the four cornerstones (Asc, Venus, Sun, Moon), and if for marriage (also the 7th bhava and its lord), the two people involved will (all other things being equal) be inclined to influence each other favorably during their liason.

They  will share common constructive values, offer one another good advice, treat each other with respect, learn from each other, and othersise enable the mariage - provided offcourse, the Jupiter is strong and rules good bhava.

Given the guru is also the indicator of guru kripa (divine grace), contact of strong Jupiter with all the primary factors may very well indicate the marriage made in heaven. Such powerful contact become particularly strong when Jupiter conjoins or aspect within the orb of 71/2 degree.

One reason that the connections between strong malefics and aligned cornerstones (Asc, sun, venus, moon) may well indicate marriage that works well but appears to be made in hell. The reason being that malefics tends to be a poor negotiators.

Jupiter (and Venus) bargain politely, directly, honestly stating their requests and appealing to reason.

The malefics who hold the selfish view that the end justifies the mean resort to either persistent or preemptory demands backed up threats of force or actual punishments (Mars and Ketu), or have recourse to deviousness, guile and unscruplous negotations like blackmail (Saturn and Rahu), however subtle.

Jupiter support others through good councel and advice, and aspiration to help other's positive experince of life expand, and other jovan intentions.

For example

• Sun - he will promote support for the fundamental outlook, philosophy, integrity and authority of the other.
• Moon - Stabalizes and calms the other emotionally, promoting an equitable sharing of domestic responsibilities. He nurtures while supporting and embelishing, the other's emotions. Benevolent Jupiter facilitates the creation of a savory, and satisfying lifw rasa.
• Venus - His guidance will help the partners harmonize each other and will offer suggestions on how best to offer sugestions on how best to enjoy their mutual desires.
• Ascendant - facilitate support of the other's environment by providing good councel on where and how to live and work, how much money to spend and what to spend it on.
• In additon, remember that the relationship that exist between two ascendants aligns each of the bhava in those horoscopes into a similar connections.
• A Jupiter who influnces the ascendant of both the charts will thus encourage an already harmonious set of shared life experience to become better, and a problematic relationship to improve. 

For example:

Mutual contact of Jupiter on asc

• For two horoscope, Aries rising and Libra rising; Jupiter placed in 7th and 5th house of respective charts will influence the ascendant of each other. Both natives will encourge to provide one another good councel and positive attitude in matters relating to their physical existence.

One way contact of Jupiter on asc

• In contast, for two horoscope, Taurus and scorpio rising, where one JP influnce the ascendant of other while other's jupiter does not inluence the asc, one implication of one way contact is that the Ta rising person will be motivated to intensify the enjoyment of the scorpio rising partner through the physical and environmental circumstances of their reltionship (which the asc represent)

Absence of Jupiter's influance on the pair of  aligned Moon

• Such harmoniously configured moon will encorage the couple to feel an instinctual emotional pull towards each other but lack of any enhancements from Jupiter would mean that there is a less of gurantee that the couple be able to transform the harmonious primary link into enduring pleasing emotional rasa.

Venus

Jupiter's influence is always most valuable for marital harmony, since  he is the only major benefic who is not part of the four cornerstones (asc, sun, moon, venus)

The harmonizing principle also occasionally apply to Venus, however, especiallywhen Venus acts as a raja yoga karaka for the horoscope.

• Venus acts as a yoga karaka for Capricorn and Aquarious ascendant

Rememeber, however, that when one person's venus associates with the ascendant of the other, that Venus will act mainly as act as an indicator of smooth relationship. Only when Jupiter associates with the a venus who associates wih the asc of other can we confidently predict a smooth dynamic in the reltionship.

• Libra rising one chart and Venus occupies Libra. Other Jupiter sits in Aries, aspecting the other's ascendant as well as other charts venus
• Two capricorn rising, one having Venus in capricorn and other having venus in cancer. Two Venus will act for form a 7/7 relationship and each venus will form a 1/7 relationship with ascendant as secondary relationship. Each venus can also be read as a smoothness factor, each will act both as a natural benefic and the raja yoga karaka.
