Jupiter Transit in Cancer in October, 2025: Guru Gochara in Karka in Vedic Astrology

Jupiter became exalted in Cancer on October 18, 2025, in transit. The exaltation of Guru in Karka Rashi is always an unconditional blessing since the planet represents divinity in any horoscope. As Deva Guru, or the preceptor of the Devas, He gives the power of discrimination/ Viveka which is essential and crucial within the framework of merits and demerits in Karma. 


Karka Rashi is the 4th House of the Kalapurusha, or the natural 4th Bhava. The 4th is a Kendra Bhava from the Lagna and is unreservedly auspicious like all other Kendras. One may even say that it is only the Kendra Bhavas that are truly auspicious for even Trikona Bhava are seeking blessings of the Devi. The fundamental trait of the 4th Bhava is the governance of Sukha or happiness and this comes from Punya or good deeds. This is also contiguous with the fact that Guru is the Karaka or significator for Purva Punya, the good or meritorious deeds of the past. 


This can also be understood from the lordship of Karka Rashi; Chandra/ Moon is the ruler of Karka Rashi and rules the minds of human beings. All happiness and sorrow is felt in the mind. Guru is exalted here and therefore happiness will come from righteous conduct, Viveka and meritorious deeds of past and present. Karka Rashi may occupy any Bhava of the horoscope and therefore the result of this transit of Jupiter will depend on the Bhava placement from the Lagna and the Arudha Lagna (AL). Guru/ Jupiter illuminates and the natal occupation of Karka Rashi, if any, will further indicate that which is being illuminated. 


Guru îs currently not under any affliction in transit by the Graha Drishti of any malefic planet. The transit is therefore capable of giving unhindered results. Guru is a slow-moving planet and therefore His results are felt in transit. The Rashis directly influenced by this Gochara of Guru in Vedic astrology/ Jyotisha are Karka, Vrishchika, and Meena with Makara also receiving the more general 7th House aspect. 


Scorpio receives a planetary aspect capable of fortifying the future through correct thinking. Conversely, Guru being in the 9th Bhava from Scorpio will give Bhagya or fortune. For the Scorpio Arudha Lagna, the position is slightly more complex because Guru rules Satya and Arudha is a construct of Maya. The 9th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna is a Tamasic, fighting supporter for any individual. Guru does not initially work well with these obtuse significations and therefore some truth about the situation in the 9th Bhava from the AL will first emerge and only then will Jupiter support the individual. 


Meena similarly benefits from the 9th House aspect from transit Jupiter bringing the fruits of good deeds done in the past to the Udaya Lagna. From Pisces/ Meena, Jupiter is transiting the 5th House and the period is a mixed bag of events due to the transit of Shani/ Saturn in the Lagna, which is His Marana Karaka Sthana position. Meena Lagna individuals with Shani in Lagna in the natal horoscope have Rajayoga but their health, decision-making, lifestyle choices, and thinking suffers. With Shani also transiting the Lagna, these indications may be heightened and may prevent the complete blessing of the Guru Gochara from coming through and being experienced. Prospects of mitigation may be tentatively ventured. 


For Simha/ Leo, there could be some Shubha Yoga or auspicious beginnings because the 12th Bhava from another rules commencement, where something may be said to start. At the time of writing this note, Guru receives the sign aspect or Rashi Drishti of Rahu, and Mangala-Budha. There is an awareness of the diabolical, scheming and plotting and intrigue but both Guru and Rahu are free to work independently within this framework of shared knowledge. The other Rashi Drishti of Budha-Mangal is positive and helpful for creativity, the written word, learning, execution, initiative which are all blessed by the divine grace of the Preceptor. 


Core significations of Jupiter in Vedic astrology, such as learning, higher learning, Shastra, Jnana, wealth, treasury, intellectualism, law, divine law, victory of truth over falsehood will shine in a variety of ways during this transit, taking only this one facet under consideration for the present.

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/...

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha...

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...
