Jupiter in the 1st House: Meaning by Rising Sign
The short answer
With whole-sign houses, Jupiter is in your 1st house when it is in your rising sign itself: Jupiter in Aries for Aries rising, Jupiter in Libra for Libra rising, and so on for all twelve rising signs.
What Jupiter in the 1st house means
Jupiter describes where things open up for you. In the 1st house of self and how you come across, that plays out through you, your body, your appearance, the first impression you make.
The 1st is one of the four angular houses, the corners of the chart, where planets tend to show as events other people notice. Its natural sign is Aries, so Jupiter here takes on some of Aries's concerns whatever sign it is actually in.
With whole-sign houses, Jupiter sits in your 1st house when it is in your rising sign itself: for Aries rising that means Jupiter in Aries. A transit of Jupiter through one house lasts about 14 months, because that is how long Jupiter usually stays in one sign.

About the 1st house
The 1st house of self and how you come across: you, your body, your appearance, the first impression you make. Its natural sign is Aries.
How the houses are counted
Houses here use whole-sign counting: your rising sign is the whole 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on around the zodiac. Many astrologers use Placidus or another quadrant system instead, which can move a planet close to a sign boundary into the neighbouring house. Either way you need an accurate birth time, because the rising sign changes about every two hours.
