Jupiter in Tula (Libra): meaning
Tula is a movable air sign ruled by Venus, an enemy of Jupiter in Parashari friendships, so Jupiter is in shatru rashi. The planet of dharma meets the sign of balance, partnership and refinement. Wisdom is expressed through fairness, mediation and a sense of proportion, and the native often cares about social ethics. Tula is the natural seventh sign of partnership and contracts, and Jupiter is a significator of a spouse in some charts, so relationships are a central theme.
A strong Venus lends charm and diplomacy to Jupiter; an afflicted Venus can bring indulgence, compromise of principles or difficulty deciding. The sign is opposite Aries, so Jupiter's convictions are tested against others' views. Many natives mature into skilful advisers and mediators.
