Kalatra Bhava — marriage, partnership, business alliances, the other
Traditionally one of the best placements for marriage. Jupiter in the 7th indicates a principled, often older or wiser partner, and gives real capacity for the compromises partnership requires. From here Jupiter aspects the ascendant, so the marriage genuinely improves the person. Business partnerships prosper. The risk is idealising the partner past accuracy.
The 7th house is how you meet an equal, governing marriage, partnership, business alliances, the other. Jupiter (Guru) is the great benefic and signifies wisdom, children, wealth, dharma, teachers; its drive is to expand, to bless, and to seek meaning.
The 7th is a kendra (angle), one of the four pillars of the chart, where planets act visibly and strongly. Planets in kendras gain Dig Bala (directional strength) depending on which angle they occupy, and their effects are prominent in the life rather than hidden.
Three things modify this placement more than anything else: the sign Jupiter occupies (see Jupiter through the signs), the aspects it receives — Jupiter's aspect can rescue a difficult placement and Saturn's can sober an easy one — and the strength of the 7th house lord. Read this as one factor, not a verdict.
