Jupiter, the Devguru Brihaspati, is a slow moving planet. He stays in a sign for an approx 12 months. Currently Jupiter is in the Aries sign, Mesh rashi and on 1^st May 2024 he will be entering Taurus sign, Vrushabh rashi. (Watch my video on Youtube here)

In his transit in Aries and in fact for the past few years he was consistently hounded by the two slow moving cruel planets Saturn and Rahu. Either with Saturn, or aspected by Saturn, or with Rahu in the Guru Chandal yog or in a paap kartari of Rahu and Saturn, he was quite miserable. Jupiter is the Jiv karak and and as he was unable to deliver on his auspiciousness, the world too was labouring under severe misfortunes. 

But now for the first time in the past few years, he is free of malefic influences from Rahu and Saturn, at least till 29^th Mar 2025. So everyone must make use of this time to consolidate their lives. As after 29^th Mar 2025 we will be facing an extremely turbulent situation. At that time, Saturn and Rahu will be in conjunction in Pisces sign, the most sensitive sign of the zodiac.  The first signs of turbulence will begin from Jan 2025 as Rahu and Saturn start getting within 15deg of each other. And this afflicted Saturn in Pisces will be again aspecting Jupiter in Taurus, again reducing his ability to do good for humanity.

Jupiter will be going forward, retrograde and again forward as per his orbit but he will not be changing signs. In these about 11 months he will remain in Taurus. This will grant us some stability. He will be moving very fast, Atichari and reach almost the end of Taurus, at 27 deg. This will make ‘time’ move very fast for us too. Then he will be going retrograde from 9^th Oct 2024 to 4^th Feb 2025 but staying within Taurus. The time when Jupiter is stationary will be intense. He is going to be stationary during for avg 5 days in 27 deg Taurus in Oct 2024 and again in Feb 2025 at 17 deg Taurus. If you have any birth planets or your ascendant degree in these degrees of the zodiac then you may find intense events occurring in your life then. If this transit is favourable/ unfavourable for you so will these events be.

Jupiter in Taurus is a generally favourable and auspicious energy. He will allow us to regain our fortunes. Some of us will make a significant amount of money in this time frame. Use this time to create material gains, work heard earn money, diversify your sources of income. All this will be required as a buffer in the coming turbulent times. Even Saturn in Poorvabhadrapada nakshatra is supportive for these sort of activities. He will allow us to save money so look for good investment options in this time frame. Do not get too philosophical and pedantic about things in this time, be pragmatic and practical. Even if you are spiritual by nature, do remember that you live in a material world and are expected to behave as per these norms on this level.

Use the Ashtakvarga table as a quick method to get a sense of how strong Jupiter is in your birth chart and in transit. Those who have a favourable Jupiter will be able to gain on several levels. Their health will recover. They will be able to earn and save money and some will create life time assets. They will also be able to reconnect with their close family, get married and have children etc in this time frame. Their elders, seniors will support and they will get timely luck in crucial aspects of their lives. But if Jupiter is unfavourable then these same keywords will cause stress.

Now the predictions for the signs of the zodiac. These predictions are exclusively for the Jupiter in your chart. I have written separate posts for Rahu Ketu transit here, and Saturn’s transit here and the results expected in the Vedic year Shri Krodhi here. Do go through all these to get a sense of what each of these slow moving planets and this Vedic year signifies for you. Thus you can leverage these specific aspects of your life to reduce the adverse effects, capitalise on the positive results and mindfully convert challenges into opportunities. 

These following are in brief as per the birth Moon signs, but if you have a stronger ascendant sign (check the ashtakvarga scores) then you can read the following as per your ascendant sign too. The birth chart and its power is always more important. Note if you have any birth planets in the Taurus sign. Do consider their interaction with the transiting Jupiter for person specific results. Eg if you have brith Mercury in Taurus then Jupiter transiting over him will not be able to fully express his auspicious results. And if you are undergoing a Dasha period of a benefic planet for your ascendant sign you will be better able to maintain yourself during this period. And the time from Jan – Apr 2025 will be turbulent. During this time frame everyone must be alert irrespective of what the transit results are for their signs. 

Aries birth Moon – your situation improves. This is a favourable transit so make the most of it. Your income sources will improve, past investments will give results and savings will increase. There will be several changes in your life, all positive. Thus you will feel restless and sometimes unable to cope. Family time will give your mind some peace. Close family will be supportive. You can think of getting married or planning for a child in this time. You will meet new and important people, your friend circle will expand. You will reach some stature in life in this time. Profession and family both will be good. You might take up some spiritual or religious activities in this time which will add to the auspiciousness. You will be able to express yourself well and your advice will be valued by others. However do not take unnecessary risks and do not trust others in the money matters. Do not use up your savings for others. 

Taurus birth Moon – Janma Guru generally causes physical strain. You will be overworked and will not get time to rest. Do pay attention to your health, rest and diet in this time. There will be a few opportunities in this time, but think before committing to anything. You might be inclined to get into some unethical ways of getting money. You might get into some grey area type of secret activities. Try to find out more information about everything as there is a possibility that critical information may be concealed from you. You might be forced to act against your wishes in this time. You might feel that your options are limited and you need to choose between two equally unfavourable options. Opportunities outside your hometown may seem more attractive in this time frame and give you more gain. Your financial situation will improve. Spouse and children will be supportive but other family members can cause stress, so maintain some distance from them. Do not confide your personal matters with your siblings etc. Overall average results to good are expected. 

Gemini birth Moon – This is an average to bad transit for you as Jupiter will cause you losses in some way or the other. Keep an eye on your finances. Relationships can cause stress, if married then avoid arguments with your spouse. Do not engage in short live affairs in this time. Health should be a priority and do not ignore any symptoms. You need to keep an eye on your children in this time. Your parents, elders will need your attention. Finances will be tight, budgeting may be necessary. If your family has a joint property then there may be disputes related to this. You will be overworked in your profession and your contributions will not be recognised. Businessman too will face stress so keep and eye on your business partner and your accounts. Students must pay attention to their studies and prepare seriously for their exams. Overall there will be a few missed opportunities and disappointments in this time frame. If you engage in immoral or unethical practices in this time, it will lead to severely negative karma later. If possible worship your ancestral deity, ie go to the actual temple in this time. This will give you some mental strength and reduce anxiety. 

Cancer birth Moon – This Jupiter in Taurus is favourable for you and you will regain your heath, wealth and mental peace. You can think of getting married, planning for a child etc. You will be inclined towards religion and spirituality and any efforts in this direction will benefit you. Your family, friends, etc will support and help you whenever you need their help. You will also behave properly towards everyone. Finances will be good, you might get some new sources of income, but budgeting is always a good habit. But going out of your way to help others may cause a strain on your own resources. You might need to use your savings after Saturn enters Pisces sign so be prepared. There might be one emergency situation then. You will be required to travel a lot, a lot of work is expected from you so take care of your rest and diet. You might be under mental stress because of the volume of work before you. But you will be able to overall do quite well in this period, so make the most of it. 

Leo birth Moon – Jupiter is average for you. You will be loaded with office work and there will be limited support from your boss and teammates. You will feel anxious about several things in this time. Past mistakes and lost opportunities will haunt you. Act only on the advice of your friends whom you trust. Do not follow people just because they were good to you in the past. Do not engage in unethical activities if connected to your profession. Transfer in the job or some change in your profile is possible, and this new position may not be to your liking. Income sources will be average but budgeting is essential for you. Do not speculate or sell your ancestral property as far as possible. Do not engage in extra marital affairs or cheat your spouse, it will attract significantly negative karma. Keep an eye on your children, your teenagers or sons can cause stress. If you plan to get married in this time double check everything. If planning for children, follow your doctors advice completely. If you have a strong birth Jupiter than despite all the issues you will ultimately gain and be appreciated for all that you do.

Virgo birth Moon – Jupiter is favourable for you and you should make the most of this transit. Your health will improve, but you will gain weight. If you are prone to Jupiter type of health issues, eg diabetes etc then be alert. Your reputation will improve, there will be successful. You will regain all that you had lost in the past 1year. Issues will be settled in your favour. Finances will improve, you might make some long term investments. Help from your seniors, elders etc will make you secure. You will be able to settle in life there will be some level of security. If you are planning to get married, do so after discussing all details with the other party openly. There may be some challenges on the love/ marriage front. So be alert for trouble here and nip it in the bud. Your children, students or juniors will make you proud in some way. One tip is to avoid selling ancestral property or gold in this time frame. Try to go for some pilgrimage or do puja of your family deity as this will bring more auspiciousness in your life. Pay attention to your elders and especially if they have any heath concerns. There will be an internal dissatisfaction but overall Jupiter will give you some very good and lasting gains in Taurus. 

Libra birth Moon – Jupiter will bring in sudden changes in your life. You will feel overworked and tired coping with all the worries that he might bring. Your personal health must be a priority in this time. Going for a routine health check up would be advisable. A emergency medical issue is possible in this time. You might be transferred against your wish or you may have to travel more. Lack of home comfort and rest can lead to health issues. Reputation can suffer as past misdeeds/ mistakes come to light. Family will not cooperate, especially the in-laws may be a source of stress. If give your money to any relative now, chances are you will never recover it. There may be unexpected losses and sudden changes. Do not trust anyone with your secrets and your assets. Expenditure may be in excess of income so budgeting is necessary. You might vary between the extremes of desiring intimacy with people other than your spouse and sometimes being very highly spiritual. Engaging in unethical actions in this time can cause permeant damage to your reputation. Do not take unnecessary risks in time frame. 

Scorpio birth Moon – Jupiter is favourable for you in Taurus. You can consider getting married, planning for a baby, or change in the job etc. Your profession and business will be favourable and financially the situation will be favourable. Your spouse will be a source of support and you will also gain through your spouse. If you choose to get married now, most likely you will marry someone who is from a higher level background than yours. It is a good time to plan a child. All new projects will be auspicious in this time. However you have to pay attention to your children if teenagers or sons, as they might not listen to you on certain issues. Your relatives too may be a source of stress. Try to follow the ethical path as any illegal activities done in this time will result in severe negative karma. Especially you might feel inclined for short term flings outside of the marriage, do not do this as it will cause problems later. 

Sagittarius birth Moon – Jupiter is not favourable for you in this transit. You will feel worried about everything. It depends on the power of your birth chart as Jupiter can cause you trouble on several fronts. Take care of your finances, invest only in sure shot prospects. Avoid dipping into your savings. Your staff, servants and subordinates will gossip or cause you harm behind your back. Do not trust them beyond a limit. Avoid getting into legal issues in this time as the chances of losing litigations are more. New partnerships or legal contracts must be double checked. Avoid taking loans, do not create more debt in this time as repaying it can be a burden later. Do not offer unsolicited advice or interfere in other’s matters, you will be blamed when things go wrong. You might be required to travel without reason and will be separated from the family and friends for some reason or the other. So find some inner resources to boost your morale. Pay attention to your rest and diet in this time. Chronic diseases can drain your vitality. 

Capricorn birth Moon – Jupiter is very favourable and you have the potential to gain a lot in this time frame. Use this time, this is the start of a few years of good fortune, so give yourself deep foundations in this time. This is a good time to get married, plan for a child etc. Changing your job to a better one, or a promotion or an award is possible. Businessmen can try for new projects. Investments can be considered with due care, you might get some good options here. Students will do well in their studies and overall things will be auspicious. Just be sure to plan out your projects etc systematically, avoid overconfidence. Even if you feel confident, ask for help/ advice from others for important projects. But do not offer your advice or financial help to others in this time, you may get into trouble because of this later. Doing pujas of your Kuldevata will add more power to your life. 

Aquarius birth Moon – Jupiter is average to bad and you should be alert. There will be minor disturbances in your family, residence/vehicle may require repairs. Change of residence or at least a lot of travelling is possible. New business ventures or job changes are possible. Check everything as you do this change. Do not engage in speculation or trust your relatives more than you should. Your ego will be high in this time so keep a watch on your thoughts and words. Do not use your savings to help others and budget. Your mother and maternal relatives can be a source of stress. Try to develop an interest in religion or spirituality in this time, it will be helpful in the long term. You are already in Sade sati middle phase and Saturn is negative. Rahu in Pisces is also not helpful and Jupiter too is not of much use. Do be careful in all aspects of life.

Pisces birth Moon – You must guard against being excessively gentle, hopeful, helpful or kind in situations which require you to show you aggressiveness, boldness and courage. If you can understand this concept then you will be able to manage this Jupiter. So keep your gentleness inside and be proactive on the outside. Otherwise he will cause you losses as you will not be able to seize opportunities and others will take you for granted. Especially your office teammates and extended family may be a source of stress in this time. Do not put your family obligations over your personal needs as this will drain you. You might be required to take up frequent journeys, lack of rest and proper diet can cause health issues. Invest only after thinking through as there is a chance of being cheated. People will show up asking for your help, do not offer your resources to others as these people may not be really honest and you might get into trouble later. People will be jealous and gossip about you. Permanent separation from some friends is possible in this time. However if you understand how this Jupiter works in your life, if you remain pragmatic and practical then you can get good gains from business deals, stocks etc. For these few, Jupiter will give good results. And if you are interested in spirituality especially Tantra then do your practices sincerely as you will gain a lot in this time. 

The upcoming transit of Jupiter into Taurus marks a significant shift in astrological influences. Some of us will get some long awaited relief from the challenges posed by malefic planets. Especially for those with significant placements in Taurus, he will grant opportunities for material gains, financial stability and family connections. However, the upcoming conjunction of Saturn and Rahu in Pisces is going to be turbulent so everyone must use this Jupiter in Taurus wisely.
