Retrograde Jupiter in Fourth House in Scorpio
When retrograde Jupiter is placed in the fourth house of a horoscope in Scorpio, Leo rises in the ascendant. Jupiter rules the fifth and eighth house. In general, it is partly benefic and partly malefic here, though the benefic part is higher, in most cases. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science? (Revised Edition)’.
Retrograde Jupiter in the fourth house of horoscope in Scorpio is benefic in many 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’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Jupiter in the fourth house of a horoscope in Scorpio can bless the native with good results related to marriage (female), husband, children, love life, spiritual growth, creativity, mother, education, wealth, vehicles, properties, profession, finances, reputation, fame, authority and several other 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 mother, marriage (female), husband and/or children. Considering children, the native may not witness any complications during the birth processes of his children. He may have children who may be physically, intellectually, emotionally, creatively and/or spiritually better or much better than average. Such children may achieve a lot in many spheres of their lives, and they may bring good name and many other good results to the native. Considering marriage (female), she may get married to a man who may be rich, a celebrity, an officer in government, a powerful politician, a successful businessman, and/or a citizen of a foreign country. The native may witness several benefits due to or through her husband and/or his family members. The native may settle in a foreign country on the basis of her marriage, if her overall horoscope and running times are supportive.
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.

Benefic Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Capricorn, Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Cancer with Moon, benefic Mercury is placed in the seventh house in Aquarius with Saturn, and benefic exalted Venus is placed in the eighth house in Pisces. In this case, the native may start a casino, and he may witness good amount of success, money and recognition through it.
If benefic retrograde Mars is placed in the third house in Libra, and benefic Sun is placed in the eighth house in Pisces with Venus, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may come across a lot of money, success and recognition through casino business, as well as other businesses. He may invest in real estate, oil industry and hotel industry, and he may earn very well. If the finer factors and running times are favourable, the native may own a business empire worth in billions, by his age of 50 or 55.

Jupiter rules the fifth and eighth house, and it is placed in the fourth house.

Malefic exalted Moon is placed in the tenth house in Taurus with Sun, Venus is placed in the twelfth house in Cancer, benefic Mercury is placed in the eleventh house in Gemini, and Mars is placed in the eighth house in Pisces.

If malefic Rahu is placed in the fourth house in Scorpio with Jupiter and Saturn, and malefic Ketu is placed in the tenth house in Taurus with Moon and Sun, the equation may become more troublesome.
