The Jupiter is the divine planet. It is the planet of wisdom, Guru, teacher. Jupiter aspection is capable of giving auspicious results. The Jupiter is transiting to Sagittarius from Nov 2019, this transit is going to give a big relief as already Saturn and Ketu in Sagittarius are creating a hell lot of issues all over the world.
What is Jupiter transit? Why it retrograde for few months?
The Jupiter approximately takes 12 years to complete one revolution around the Sun. Since there are 12 zodiacal signs, Jupiter will approximately transit to each zodiac every year. During this process, when Jupiter is exactly opposite to Sun the retrogression will begin and hence the Jupiter will transit to previous sign for fewer months before going back to the original sign. It should be noted that Jupiter will not travel in opposite direction, but when viewed Earth it will look like moving back to previous sign. The concept of Retrogression is explained in this article, please refer for further details.The actual retrogression last for ~120 days. In 2020, for approximately 120 days the Jupiter will be in Scorpio and it will again be visible in Sagittarius for the remaining days.
Ideally, the retrogression would start when Jupiter come midpoint of the 5th house from Sun and retrogression end when Jupiter crosses the midpoint of the 9th house. The earth takes 365 days to complete one revolution around the Sun, so the Sun will appear in one Zodiac for roughly ~30 days. Since the retrogression of Jupiter lasts for ~120 days, two sign back from the 7th house and 2 signs forward from 7th house of Sun will indicate that Jupiter is in retrogression.
Why it is important to read transit of Jupiter?
The horoscope is map of planetary position during time of birth. But every planet in the solar system are constantly in motion. Gochara or transit is the study of planetary motion to individual horoscope. Since Saturn and Jupiter are outer planets and it stays for a relatively longer period of time in the same zodiac signs. Their transit will give predominant effect to our life and hence both Jupiter and transit results are given importance.
Jupiter transit from Moon sign or Ascendant?
As per the all classical text of vedic astrology the transit results are always read according to the Moon sign. There are modern school of thought to read the transit results based on the ascendant sign, but in my opinion it is not a good practice.
Each planet will get obstruction during transits when other planets occupy certain houses. For example, I have mentioned that when Jupiter occupies 2nd house or 5th house or 7th house or 9th house or 11th house from natal moon it will give an auspicious result. But the good results of Jupiter transit gets nullified when another planet occupies 12th house, 4th house, 3rd house, 10th house, 8th house respectively. This concept is Vedai and it is applicable for all planet. In fact, some of the bad transit results gets nullified during this obstruction. For example for Virgo Moon sign when Saturn occupies 8th house Aries, generally ashtama Shani will be bad but during obstruction period it won’t give bad results.​
General rule of thumb
Generally, when Jupiter occupies 2nd house or 5th house or 7th house or 9th house or 11th house from natal moon it will give an auspicious result. With this rule in mind, we can say that people with Moon sign Scorpio, Leo, Gemini, Aries, and Aquarius would see more positive results of the upcoming Jupiter transit in 2019. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that Jupiter transit to other houses will give a bad result. According to the Jupiter aspection on a particular house, the results pertaining to that bhava will be fortified.
Special rule of obstruction
Each planet will get obstruction during transits when other planets occupy certain houses. For example, I have mentioned that when Jupiter occupies 2nd house or 5th house or 7th house or 9th house or 11th house from natal moon it will give an auspicious result. But the good results of Jupiter transit gets nullified when another planet occupies 12th house, 4th house, 3rd house, 10th house, 8th house respectively. This concept is Vedai(obstruction) and it is applicable for all planet. In fact, some of the bad transit results gets nullified during this obstruction.
