Jupiter’s Transit into Aries

Jupiter is transiting from Pisces to Aries on 08^th May 2011 and it will remain in Aries for about a year, till 17^th May 2012 to be precise. “Will Jupiter’s change of Zodiac Signs bring you health and wealth? Or could he actually bring you sickness and hospital bills?

One of the Sanskrit names for Jupiter is “Guru” which means teacher. Jupiter is also known as ‘Brihaspati’. In the ancient Vedic texts, it is even said the Jupiter is the prime advisor to the celestial angels or “Devas”. Jupiter removes our ignorance and darkness and offers wisdom. This planetary lord is also the god of righteousness and justice.

Jupiter takes about 12 years to complete cycle of 12 zodiac signs. It stays for about a year in each sign.  Whenever Jupiter moves in to 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th houses from the Janmarashi we can say that the native has Gurubala and it gives good results. Just as the guru removes the problems of the devotees, the planet Guru brings fortune for most people across the board. The placement of Guru in the 9th house is extremely beneficial. The person with a 9th House Guru will overcome all problems and become successful in a miraculous way.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, and its symbolism bears this out. Jupiter is the principle of expansion: expanding the mind to super conscious realms and philosophy, expanding our physical horizons through long journeys, and expanding the physical body through putting on weight (or just plain being large).

Jupiter is the significator for wealth, children, education, religion, prosperity, fame, gain, good marital order, providential help, political power, good luck, finances and long journeys. In Medical astrology Jupiter rules: blood, liver, arteries, thighs, neck, weight problems, diabetes, cataract, intoxication, biliousness, cholesterol.

Jupiter transits only once every year and is moving into Aries on 08^th May 2011. The following is generally what is going to happen for each of your Moon signs (Janmarashi)

Interpretation of Transit Results

While interpreting the result of the transit, the following points must be borne in mind.

Reference Point: The reference or starting point is the Janmarashi or the sign in which the Moon is posited in the natal chart. There are many astrologers who advocate interpretation with reference to Lagna or Ascendant but the classical texts recommend using Janmarashi only.

Lordship of Jupiter in Natal Chart: It is important that we should identify the lordship of Jupiter in the natal chart before we set out to make any predictions. For example, for a native whose Ascendant is Pisces and Janmarashi is Gemini May 2011 transit should be interpreted to give specific results pertaining to the Karakatwa of First House and Tenth House apart from the general prediction given above of Jupiter being in the 11^th house during transit.

Dasha and Bhukti: Whatever interpretation we arrive at using above method must be corroborated by the Dasha and Bhukti currently running for the native. If the Dasha and Bhukti are not favourable then the results thus predicted may not come true.

Conclusion: The transit interpretation though appears very simple; it involves in-depth analysis of afflictions, retrogression and ownership of Dusthanas / Bad Houses of Jupiter in natal chart as well as Veda (Obstruction) to Jupiter in Transit and the result obtained from the transit of other powerful planet, namely Saturn. Notwithstanding all these, Jupiter being the most benefic planet will normally not harm any native unless he is highly afflicted. As stated earlier Jupiter is the promoter par excellence, and I wish that all mankind receive his blessings for peace and harmony.
