First of all, before we get into any, for those who are watching on their weight, Jupiter and Venus are planets that are denoting sweet food items. So watch out for spending a lot of money on excessive sweet items such as ice cream, Candies, cakes, pastries. Jupiter indicates fat. Venus indicates pastry items. So both can easily play out in a subconscious manner, whether it be consuming a gallon of ice cream in a day reading a book or having 10 cup cakes over a movie in Netflix.
Now Libra is the natural 7th sign of the zodiac, indicating relationships with the other person. There can be expansion of partnerships, relationships, socialising with your partner and so on. There can also be some good trade & business alliances that are formed in one’s personal lives or even at the national level. More tie-ups and partnerships can happen. You may simply find a running buddy or a gym partner if it is happening in your 6H or find a study partner if it is happening in your 4H or 5H.
There will be increased interest in learning about relationships, business, diplomacy, trade, negotiation, counselling, and the arts such as Music, Theatre, and Drama.

For many natives this can mean simply reading a book, or attending conferences or short lectures upon topics of interest so as to expand your knowledge is possible. In general, depending upon the house it is transiting in your personal chart, it would be a good idea to connect with a mentor/counselor or someone who plays out the role of a guru with regard to that area of your house. For instance Jupiter transit through Asc or 6H, would mean a good time to connect with a personal trainer or a nutritionist if its 2H. For 9H, it would be a good time to study Dharmic topics such as spirituality, astrology, higher philosophy or even have books regarding it.
In one way or the other, both Gurus have different agendas. Guru of the gods is all about higher spirituality and dharma, where as Guru of the Asuras are all about materialism. So expect both worlds to come together in the form of spiritual books, spiritually creative music & arts. Spiritual fashion world will expand, alongside the regular fashion world.
