When exalted Jupiter is placed in the fourth house in a horoscope, Aries rises in the ascendant. Jupiter generally works as a partly benefic and partly malefic planet for horoscopes with Aries ascendant, though the benefic part may be higher in general. The concept of a planet exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses it rules in a horoscope has been explained in the chapter ‘gemstones for house lords’ of the book ‘Gemstones – Magic or Science?’.
Jupiter may turn more benefic when it is joined by benefic planets and it may turn more malefic when joined by malefic planets. Apart from that, it may turn more benefic or malefic, depending on the overall theme of horoscope. The concept of a planet turning more benefic/malefic due to influences of other benefic/malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
