Jupiter in 7th House

The seventh house in Astrology when favorable for Jupiter blesses the native with prosperity after marriage or business associations. The marriage and partnerships of the native are fruitful, giving the native happiness, wealth, and fame. 

The prosperity associated with the partner increases the expectations of the native, leading to disappointments and dissatisfactions. Concerning professional life, the native sets higher business goals that are often unrealistic. 

Venus in 7th House

Venus is the planet of love and when favorably positioned in the 7th house of Astrology, blesses the native with a blissful married life. The native enjoys a great married life and sees a rise in their social and financial status.
