JUPITER IN ARIES:

TRANSITS OF JUPITER BY RISING SIGN OR MOON SIGN 2023-2024

 

Jupiter will enter Aries on April 21^st and remain there until May 1, 2024.

In Vedic astrology, transits are often counted from the Moon because they impact the mind and emotions the most, but transits from the ascendant are better at predicting material existence, and even transits from the Sun should not be ignored for their impact on career and the material world.

Natural malefic(s) such as Rahu, Mars, Ketu, or Saturn in a natal Aries chart, and when or if such malefics are aspecting Aries,  then one could consider that some of the positive impacts of this transit may be spoiled particularly when the influence is within five degrees of the said natal planet.  Consequently, our guide below addresses some of the positive and negative considerations of this transit.

Also, planets in transit will impact Jupiter and its results.  When malefics such as Rahu impact Jupiter strongly such as mid-May to mid-June,  the darker side of the transit may manifest.   Also, Saturn throws a full 60-degree aspect to Jupiter into June 19^th and it will also afflict Jupiter.   But for the most part, this transit is unafflicted throughout much of the year.

Transits of Jupiter will be more pronounced if you are in a Jupiter Dasha period or those who are a Pisces or Sagittarius ascendant/rising, Moon or Sun sign.  The number of Bindu points in Aries will have a positive or negative impact respectively. Those with the transit of 4 bindu points or above will experience higher energy; conversely, 3 or fewer points suggest impending challenges.

There are a group of perplexing planets for each rising sign: note that Jupiter supports Cancer, Leo, Pisces, Aries, Scorpio, and Sagittarius rising or moon signs but can generate over-optimism, too much munificence and bad judgment for Libra and Taurus rising natives. Jupiter is not always helpful toward Capricorns, Aquarius, Geminis, and Virgos conferring hidden blind spots around relationships, work, group activity, and family.  Jupiter always feels good and is welcome over Saturn’s intensity but he may create problems. Aries rising will have to avoid over-eating and stay on top of the exercise to avoid weight gain. Fire signs such as Aries, Leo and Sagittarius should feel positive for most of the year influenced by optimism and good cheer due to the trinal aspect of Jupiter.  When Jupiter goes Retrograde Sept. 4-Dec. 30^th, it will be more powerful to cast a positive glance but there are always problems with retrograde planets.
