When exalted Jupiter is placed in the second house in a horoscope, Gemini rises in the ascendant. Exalted Jupiter is benefic in the second house in most cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Jupiter is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Jupiter may become more malefic.
If exalted Jupiter is afflicted by two or more than two malefic planets in the second house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such exalted Jupiter can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is highly malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.

Such benefic exalted Jupiter can bless the native with good results related to family, speech, marriage, husband, wife, profession, finances, reputation, status, spiritual growth and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope. Jupiter rules the seventh and tenth house in horoscopes with Gemini ascendant. It means it directly rules marriage and profession of the native in one such case.
Such benefic exalted Jupiter can render various types of good results related to marriage. These results may become better in case of female natives.

In this case, the native may get married to a rich man but she may witness serious problems in her marriage and the marriage may fail. For instance, her husband may have an extramarital affair and such affair may break the marriage.
