And you moved countries. And your marriage to a Canadian was, I take it, either what enabled you to move or, if not that, a result of your move?
Sounds like Jupiter's hand on the fourth and seventh houses to me.
Exactly. Those indicators don't guarantee the native will marry a foreigner. They just weight the odds in favor of something along those lines. It can, as you point out, just as easily be something else Jupiterian.
I was living in the US when I married my ex husband. We were grad students at the time: he had moved from Canada to the same American university where I studied. We both subsequently became university faculty. Very Jupiterian, but I think the higher education connection was a lot stronger than the foreign country connection. He is Jewish and I converted to Judaism prior to our marriage, as this was important to him. Conventional religion is also very 9th house. But not a connection in my own horoscope.
Actually, I was the one who got a job offer in Canada. My ex-husband basically came as a spousal hire. We subsequently divorced.
I married my husband after I moved to Canada. He was originally from South Africa. Also a professor, as I was.
But I have no real 9th house connection in either case; which I learned was what one looks for, in these lower-order questions about marrying a "foreigner;" or the male who prefers "exotic" [to him] women, which is sort of racist, if we think about it. Nobody is "exotic" to him- or herself, unless s/he's learned to cash in on it.
The deeper meaning of the 9th house is experiences that expand our mental horizons. This could mean foreign travel or encounters with foreigners. But it can also mean mind-expanding studies of unrelated sorts.
Jupiter itself has so many alternative meanings. Jupiter is normally the good luck factor or the Santa Claus of the zodiac, so Jupiter in the 7th might simply mean a fortunate committed relationship; or even someone with a prominent Jupiter in his/her own horoscope. Or Sagittarius rising.
But maybe this is a good argument for looking at traditional rulers as well as modern ones. With Pisces on my DC, none of my marital and educational history would make sense if we restriced Pisces to just a Neptune rulership.
