I’ve always found it interesting that Jupiter, the great benefic, represents the husband. Why does Jupiter represent the husband for women? I will also discuss Jupiter in the signs and the kinds of husband they produce.

Jupiter & Wealth/Resources

Let’s start with looking at one of the other significations of Jupiter- wealth. Jupiter represents wealth and most women are not independently wealthy. Even if we have jobs and can support ourselves, having a husband is likely to add significantly to the wealth and resources we have available to us. This is still as true today as it’s ever been.

When a woman is wealthy through her family or her own efforts, she usually wants a husband who is as wealthy as she is. Her reason is that she wants to be with someone she considers to be her equal. If the husband is not as wealthy, then he has to bring something else of high perceived value to make up for his lack of money. Such as accomplishment, intelligence/education, talent/fame, etc.

Jupiter is Noble with a High Moral Code

Jupiter is noble and has a high moral code. When a man has noble qualities and strength of character, is philosophical and wise in his dealings with people, he is the personification of a strong Jupiter. No matter how modern the woman, she wants to admire and respect her husband, she wants to feel proud of him with her family and friends. She wants him to be her knight in shining armor.

It wasn’t that long ago that only men were educated in a formal way and only men were scholars, learned in spiritual books or could become priests. So I can see how a husband could be a source of wisdom and perspective, but even in today’s world where knowledge is available to anyone (in most countries), spiritual women prefer a man who is spiritual too. Jupiter is the planet of spirituality, wisdom, philosophy, and higher knowledge.

My husband’s faith in life and his general optimism that things will turn out okay, is a real pleasure to live with. If you’ve ever been with a man who is suspicious of people, angry at life and expects life to treat him badly, you know what I mean. Being with a generally happy who has a philosophy of life that gets him through the tough times makes a woman’s life better.

Jupiter is Expansion & Happiness

The way to know whether or not to marry a man is when he makes your life better than you could make it on your own. A good husband will enlarge and enhance a woman’s life and bring a special kind of happiness to her. Having a husband enhances a woman’s social status, even in today’s world where living together without being married is totally accepted. There is still a feeling of security, emotionally and materially that having a husband brings to a woman. (CONTINUED BELOW SPECIAL OFFER)

Jupiter is Children

Jupiter is responsible for producing children in our lives and as a woman, doing this while you have a husband is infinitely easier and more joyful than doing it alone. Single mothers work harder than anyone on earth! The husband gives the child a name (identity) and a safe arena to grow up in, a family to belong to. He provides for the family and sees it as his responsibility and duty even if the woman works too.

Jupiter represents more than I’ve already mentioned here, but let’s move on to what it means when Jupiter is in the signs in your birth chart.

Jupiter in His Strongest Signs

The very best signs for Jupiter are the sign of Cancer, Pisces, and Sagittarius. Attracting a good husband is much easier when Jupiter is in these signs. This is because Jupiter is strong enough to take care of his responsibilities and produce all the good stuff that Jupiter represents. Wealth, happiness, children, optimism and grace.

Jupiter in Good Signs

Jupiter in the signs of Scorpio, Aries, or Leo is pretty good too. Mars (Scorpio and Aries) is a great friend to Jupiter and so is the Sun (Leo). When Jupiter is in these signs, he gets help from his friends and can bring you a husband that you will be happy with. The Mars signs of Scorpio and Aries produces a husband who is logical, disciplined, and able to produce abundance in the quickest way (Jupiter/Mars combinations are especially wealth producing). 

Jupiter in Leo represents a husband who has a greater sense of purpose and consistency of fortune. This Sun-ruled Jupiter is pure-hearted, noble, and intelligent. Being the wife of this kingly man makes the woman feel like a queen. 

Jupiter in Difficult Signs

**Remeber that this is general, there are other factors that determine the husband too!

Jupiter in Taurus or Libra, Virgo or Gemini, are in the signs of his great enemies. Here he will struggle to bring you a man who is able to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband. He may still be a good person and someone you enjoy being with on many levels, but he won’t do many of the things that a good husband would do.

A good husband is as involved in the relationship as you are. He thinks about what would be good for the relationship long-term, kicks your tires (takes care of the cars, etc.) and stands between you and the IRS (protects you). You have to be more independent in marriage and do many of these things yourself when Jupiter is in these signs.

Jupiter in Capricorn is ‘debilitated’ and Jupiter in Aquarius is neutral (neither helpful or unhelpful). When you have Jupiter in Capricorn, a relationship has numerous challenges. One woman with Jupiter in Capricorn had men suddenly disappear on her. This happened to her over and over.

Everything would start out great and then weeks or months into the relationship, he would vanish never to be heard from again.**Remember that this is general, there are other factors that determine the husband too!

After years of this, she decided that she was happier not being in a relationship and she decided to concentrate on raising her children. She is working on her happiness without a man.

Another woman with Jupiter in Capricorn would attract men with wonderful qualities, but he would also have a mental illness that made the relationship difficult, draining, or impossible. Yet another woman wanted to know if she would attract a man who was good for her (she had a pattern of partners being cheaters, deadbeats or con men). She asked a Horary question about this and the Horary clearly showed that she wouldn’t, at least not in her next relationship.

Jupiter ‘Harmed’ by Other Planets

**Remeber that this is general, there are other factors that determine the husband too!

Jupiter can be in a good sign, but still have issues if he is with Rahu, Ketu, the Sun, or Saturn. When Jupiter is with Rahu, your husband/boyfriend could be someone from a culture different than the one you were raised in. This is considered to be difficult because there are so many things you won’t have in common that takes effort and compromise to work around. Daily life is full of encounters with your differences and there is less shared experiences and cultural references.

Also, when Rahu is with Jupiter, you will have trouble finding the right kind of man for you. You will be captivated by a man only to find out that it was all an illusion. But, if Jupiter is in a good sign with Rahu, Jupiter ensures that you will figure out what you most need in a man after some disappointing experiences.

If Saturn is with Jupiter, then Jupiter is being ‘starved.’ This means that your man has difficulty finding purpose, hope, and faith in the affairs of the house that Jupiter is in. Or he may be a religious fanatic or conversely, he won’t believe in anything and have a hard time finding meaning in his life.

Jupiter with Ketu can make you a spiritually oriented person, but it also means that you have ‘done’ Jupiter a lot in previous lifetimes. Meaning, having a husband is something you may be done with for this lifetime. This depends on many other factors in the birth chart too, so don’t take this as the final word, you may still get married.

When Jupiter is with the Sun, he is ‘combust’ (burned up). This means that your husband feels like he can never live up to his potential and that he’s enough to merit the love of the divine, and/or like he doesn’t deserve the good things in life. He won’t be as able to lean on the divine when he is in need.

What Can You DO When Jupiter is Weak?

Of course, you can always do Jupiter mantras (Om Namah Shivaya). Jupiter actually rules all mantras because he rules sound. Mantras in Sanskrit are sounds that vibrate at particular frequencies. These frequencies affect your chakras and your aura, influencing what (and who) you attract into your life.

If you don’t want to do mantras for whatever reason, increase the depth of your spiritual life. Work on Jupiter for yourself, meaning, work on Jupiter in a way that directly affects your own level of faith, hope, joy, and happiness. This means cultivating your spiritual life every single day. If you want to get the most out of that, Google Planetary Hours Calculator and use it to find the Jupiter hours of the day and do your spiritual practices during the Jupiter hours.

Spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, reading spiritual books that uplift you and make you feel more connected to the divine. No matter how you understand the divine, even if you don’t have any particular belief in the divine. Explore your spiritual side and your spiritual gifts (I can help you with this if you don’t know what they are).

Join a spiritual group of like-minded people because it keeps you inspired and consistent in your devotions (and increases your chances of meeting someone special!). Find out what your best spiritual path is, what will help you grow the fastest (this is part of the Whole Life and Ready for Love Consultations).

Practice increasing your faith in life by keeping a gratitude journal (Jupiter rules gratitude). This multiplies your blessings and attracts even more blessings. Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood faster than doing this! (See link below under RELATED to learn more about Jupiter happiness practices).

The deeper your spiritual life, the more happiness you will have whether you have a good husband or not. A joyous, happy woman is incredibly attractive. When a woman is happy and joyful, a good man will do anything he can to keep her that way and further add to her happiness.
