How strong is Jupiter here?
Cadent houses (3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th) come before the angular houses and are about learning, adjusting and preparing. Traditional astrology treats these as the least prominent houses, and planets here are read as working more quietly and adaptively than those in angular houses.
The 9th house corresponds to Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter. Modern astrologers often see this as a natural fit, because Jupiter rules Sagittarius. Traditional astrology judges a planet's strength differently, by its dignity in the sign it occupies and by which house it takes its "joy" in.
House systems differ slightly, and the sign on the cusp of your 9th house adds detail. Your full natal chart shows the exact picture.
