Jupiter in the Sixth House
Sutras 32-34-The native will destroy his enemies, there will be growth of the members of his family (some have interpreted this to mean increase of nephews and in-laws), he will have grand-children and marks of wounds on the body. If Jupiter is in conjunction with a benefic the native will be free from diseases. If he is associated with a malefic or is in the house of malefic, the native will suffer form rheumatism or diseases due to cold. If Jupiter is in the sign of Saturn (Capricorn or Aquarius) in association with Rahu or Ketu the native will suffer from diseases of the worst type.
Comments-According to above Sutras Jupiter as a natural benefic will give good effects in regard to the significations of the sixth house unless he is afflicted. This sixth house is not a significator of children or grand children. It is, therefore, not understood how the effect will be realised if Jupiter is in the sixth house. The sixth house is an evil house (dusthana) and if Jupiter is there as a lord of an auspicious house, the significations of that house will be adversely affected.

Brihat Jataka-The person concerned will be without enemies.
Phaldeepika-The native will destroy his enemies, he will be lazy, he will get humiliated, will take interest in recitation of mantras and will be clever.
Saravali-The native will win over his enemies, will be famous but humiliated, lazy, will gain name and fame through his wife and will suffer from diseases like hyperacidity.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will destroy his enemies, get happiness ‘from his wife but not from his maternal uncle. He will always be sickly. His mother will also remain sickly.
Note-The above authorities have given both favourable and unfavourable results of Jupiter in the sixth house without taking into account the malefic or benefic associations. In this respect the views expressed by Bhrigu Sutras are more logical and reasonable except those on which we have already given our comments.
Jupiter in the Seventh House
Sutras 35-37-If Jupiter is in the seventh house, the native will be highly educated and a]§o worried. He will have lot of financial gains and his wife will be learned, chaste and devoted to her husband. If the lord of the 7th is weak or is associated with Rahu, Ketu, Saturn or Mars or is aspected by any of these malefics, the native will have illicit relations with women other than his wife. If Jupiter is associated with benefics, is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, the native will have and be attached to one wife only and he will gain wealth through his wife. He will be happy and earn great respect in his 34th year.
Comments-Jupiter is a natural benefic and according to above Sutras he gives very beneficial results in the matter of education, finances and marital relations. The native becomes immoral if the lord of the seventh is weak and associated with or aspected by malefics. The same results may be expected if Jupiter- is associated with or aspected by any of the malefics mentioned in Sutra 36. Still better results will be realised if Jupiter is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation. Here a doubt may arise whether Jupiter in his sign of exaltation can be capable of giving good results because in such a position with Capricorn as the ascendant, he will be lord of two bad houses, the 3rd and the 12th houses. This doubt has been cleared by Kalidasa’s Uttara Kalamrita in the following sloka:- (Extract-from sloka 9-Khand IV) This means that Jupiter when he owns the 3rd and 12th houses in a nativity will be productive of good to the person concerned. The same applies when he holds the ownership of the 8th house or when he occupies the 8th house. When Jupiter is in own sign Sagittarius in the 7th, the ascendant will be Gemini and he will be in the 7th, as lord of the 7th and 10 houses. When Jupiter is in Pisces, the ascendant will be Virgo and he will be in the 7,th, as lord of the 4th and 7th houses. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas. When in the 7th house, Jupiter will be in Kendra to the ascendant, his disposition in Sagittarius, Pisces or Cancer, will also give rise to Hamsa yoga, the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter.
