Retrograde Jupiter in Seventh House in Leo
Retrograde Jupiter in the seventh house of horoscope in Leo is benefic in most cases, though it may turn malefic in some cases. It may happen when such Jupiter is influenced by one or more malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope. The concept of a benefic planet turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Jupiter in the seventh house of a horoscope in Leo can bless the native with good results related to marriage, husband, wife, family, wealth, speech, friends, creativity, spiritual growth, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, fame and several good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such retrograde Jupiter can render various types of benefits to the native, related to or through his/her marriage, husband, wife, family and/or friends. Considering family, the native may be born in a rich, influential, resourceful, well-respected, politically powerful, royal and/or spiritually advanced family, and he may witness several benefits by virtue of being a member of such family. Considering marriage, the native may get married to a woman who may be beautiful, rich, a celebrity, an officer in government, a powerful politician, a successful businesswoman, and/or a citizen of a foreign country. The native may witness several benefits due to or through his wife and/or her family members.
Looking at profession, such retrograde Jupiter can help the native achieve success as an astrologer, tantric, psychic, spiritual guru, healer, religious guru, teacher, preacher, consultant, researcher, analyst, actor, singer, musician, writer, dancer, sportsman, artist, architect, designer, developer, professional dealing in education industry, coaching, computer, book, IT, food, health, pharma, finance, matrimonial, television, music, sports, media, fitness, travel, hotel, airline, telecom, internet industry or some other type of professional, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example. Kindly read book for detailed example.
Such retrograde Jupiter can bless the native with authority in government as a police officer, army, air force, naval, revenue, administrative, foreign services officer, judge, doctor, scientist, engineer, politician or some other type of professional. Taking an example for a female native, suppose benefic retrograde Jupiter is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope in Leo with benefic Mars and benefic Rahu. Ketu is placed in the first house in Aquarius, debilitated Mercury is placed in the second house in Pisces, benefic exalted Sun is placed in the third house in Aries, and benefic Venus forms Malavya Yoga in the fourth house in Taurus. In this case, the native may become an administrative officer, and she may witness good amount of success, recognition and authority.
If exalted Moon is placed in the fourth house in Taurus with Venus, and retrograde Saturn is placed in the seventh house in Leo with Jupiter, Mars and Rahu, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may achieve success in civil exams, and she may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in administrative services. She may serve at several important posts, she may accomplish a lot as an officer, and she may come across very good amount of success, recognition and authority during her career. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, she may serve as the head of an administrative department, before retirement.
On the other hand, malefic retrograde Jupiter in the seventh house of a horoscope in Leo can trouble the native with problems related to marriage, husband, wife, family, wealth, speech, friends, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition and several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Jupiter rules the second and eleventh house, and it is placed in the seventh house. If such retrograde Jupiter is influenced by malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope, the native may witness various types of problems related to or through his/her marriage, husband, wife, family and/or friends. Considering friends, he may not have many good friends, and majority of his friends may be selfish, opportunists, criminal-minded, criminals, drug addicts, traitors and/or they may have some other negative traits. The native may witness several problems due to such friends, many times in his life. Considering marriage, the native may witness delay/disturbances in marriage, and/or one or more failed marriages. He may have serious differences of opinion with his wife, she may suffer from a long-lasting illness, she may be an alcoholic and/or a drug addict, she may be a criminal, she may not be loyal to him, she may have extramarital affair/affairs, and/or she may die within 10 or 5 years of marriage.
Taking an example for a female native, suppose retrograde Jupiter is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope in Leo with malefic Ketu. Guru Chandal Yoga is formed in the seventh house. Rahu is placed in the first house in Aquarius, benefic Venus is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio, Sun is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with malefic Moon, and retrograde Mars is placed in the sixth house in Cancer. In this case, the native may not get married till her age of 35 or 40.
If Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio with Venus, and exalted Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Sun and Moon, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may not get married till her age of 40 or 45, or throughout her life. She may have a long-lasting love affair which may continue for more than 5 years, but it may not convert into marriage. She may also get engaged once or twice, but the marriage may not happen, and the engagements may fail.
