Jupiter Transit in Taurus/ Guru Gochara in Vrishabha Rashi on May 1, 2024

Jupiter has moved into the benefic sign of Taurus on May 1, 2024. Guru is the representative of divinity in any horoscope, irrespective of the Lagna rising in the Rashi Chakra. Therefore, the Dasha and/or Gochara of the greatest benefic in the zodiac is very important to gauge the quality of time and experience. While Mesha Rashi was a friendly sign for Guru, it is a malefic sign, and Vrishabha while ruled by the inimical Shukra, the Rashi is benefic with a lot of Jala Tattwa despite being a Prithvi Tattwa Rashi. 

The other point of significance is that Vrishabha is the treasure-trove of the Kalapurusha and Guru is Dhana Karaka. For those to whom the Graha is well-disposed during this Gochara, financial matters could be a primary area of improvement. 

As always, the placement of the Graha from the Lagna and the Arudha Lagna is important, for judgment of both natal and transit results. So it is with this transit. Benefic planets, especially Guru, who gives unconditional blessings to human beings, should not be placed in any kind of strength in a Dusthana or Trika Bhavas from the Arudha Lagna, particularly the 3rd and 6th Houses therefrom. Likewise, from the Lagna, the benefic should not be placed in the Dusthana or the 3rd Bhava, the 6th and the 8th Bhavas amongst the Dusthanas being especially avoidable. 

Guru being a slow-moving Graha shows long-standing transit results in the realm of the positive, just as Shani governs them in the realm of the conventional negative. Guru will aspect the other Prithvi Tattwa Rashis with Purna Graha Drishti/ full planetary aspect. Kanya/ Virgo and Makara/ Caapricorn, the sign of debilitation of the Graha will be illuminated by the Drishti of the great benefic. Likewise, the effects can be judged for the Chara Rashi/ movable sign except Mesha since this Rashi is juxtaposed. 

The effects of the transit of Jupiter in Taurus will be more pronounced if the Graha rules the Mahadashha or Antaradasha in any applicable Dasha system. In some charts, due to past Karma Guru is not well-placed and is found in Marana Karaka Sthana or in great affliction due to other Doshas, particularly in Rashi and/or Navamsha. Guru/ Jiwa being a Sattwa Guna Graha sustains the human being on planet Earth along with other Sattwa Guna Grahas. Since nothing is absolute, in such a scenario, firstly caution and restraint are advised and otherwise steps may be taken if indications accrue which may point to the undesirable. 

Otherwise, in favourable positions, the transit of Guru in Vrishabha augurs well, and may offer respite from the strained transit of the planets in recent times. There was the very adverse conjunction of Saturn and Mars operating in Kumbha Rashi which brought dangerous and difficult energies to life. Though the Yoga has dissipated with Mangala moving to Meena Rashi, it has not helped matters because there is the Mars-Rahu Yuri in Meena Rashi. Furthermore, Budha has been in Neecha Rashi joined this adverse combination. We see that merely owing to conjunction with Mars, Mercury suffers and here we have the conjunction with the warlike Yoga of Mangala and Rahu. 

It would be useful to note that while in Mesha Rashi, Guru suffered the adverse Graha Drishti of both Rahu and Shani which was afflicting the planet and keeping the grace of thee Graha from coming through. Guru is now free of these malefic aspects in Taurus. It is always numerous factors that contribute to an outcome or a prediction. With several positives now associated with the transit of Jupiter in Taurus, an alleviating of the stresses of the past may be expected.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/...

Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 2025 in Vedic Astrology

Spring and summer of 2025 will be marked by notable shifts in transit of the slow-moving planets, Guru, Shani and Rahu-Ketu.  Important transits have the capacity to modify the results of the Dasha. In Vedic astrology/ Jyotisha, therefore, the two phenomena have to be examined together.  Jupiter/ Guru will move to Mithuna Rashi/ Gemini on May 14, 2025 and immediately thereafter the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu also transit to Kumbha/ Aquarius and Simha/ Leo respectively. Shani/ Saturn will move to Meena Rashi/ Pisces on March 29, 2025.  Broadly speaking, in highly beneficial Dashas, positive transits lead to an icing on the cake situation, while negative transits can dampen the results or even negate them for a while. The effect can be construed accordingly for adverse Dashas, and so on.  It is well-known that Shani is the only Graha who gives added difficulties when He is strong. But a weak malefic is not to be desired because He becomes far more malefic. In oth...

The Forthcoming Transit/ Gochar of Saturn/ Śani to Libra/ Tulā Rashi on 15th November, 2011

At the present time, when Saturn/ Shani is transiting Virgo/ Kanya Rashi according to the siderial zodiac, we have witnessed many changes, some of them being related to the disturbances in the Prithvi Tattwa, as shown by the earthquake in Japan and the consequent Tsunami. Mercury/ Budh has been debilitated in Pisces/ Meena Rashi at this time but it is equally important to note that Virgo/ Kanya is also a Prithvi Tattwa Rashi or a sign embodying the Earth element. The trine of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn/ Vrishabh, Kanya and Makar relates to Artha/ financial and monetary element relating to the trine of attainment in work, the accumulation of wealth and the daily work and adversities to be encountered. Shani in Kanya has revealed some of the realities associated with this sign by pressuring the matters associated with it. The chart for the transit of Saturn Implications of the Saturn Transit in Virgo in Virgo is given below:   Saturn is also retrograde and aspects the debilitated M...
