Retrograde Jupiter Transit 2024: The Impact of Guru’s Movement on Your Zodiac
In astrology, Lord Jupiter holds a significant position, often referred to as Guru Dev or the Guru Graha (Teacher Planet). Jupiter is considered the planet of knowledge, children, wealth, education, marriage, religion, and career. Periodically, Jupiter changes its zodiac sign and nakshatra, which has a profound impact on the natives of all 12 zodiac signs.
According to the Vedic Panchang, at 1:10 AM, Retrograde Jupiter will begin its transit. On November 28, 2024, Retrograde Jupiter will enter the Rohini Nakshatra, which is ruled by the Moon (Chandra), the planet of emotions. Let’s explore which zodiac signs will be lucky during this time, as Jupiter transits through the Moon’s constellation.
Jupiter Transit 2024: Key Astrological Influences
During the 118-day period, Jupiter will transit through Mars-ruled Mrigasira Nakshatra until November 29 (07:29 IST), after which it will move into the Moon-ruled Rohini Nakshatra.
Jupiter gains strength during its retrograde motion, and those born with the Moon in Mrigasira, Chitra, or Dhanistha Nakshatras will experience a favorable period until November 29. Following that, those born with the Moon in Rohini, Hastha, or Shravana Nakshatras can expect brighter times ahead.
Additionally, Venus, the Sun, and Mercury will oppose retrograde Jupiter between October and December 2024. People with Scorpio and Taurus moon signs should avoid gossip, loose talk, and speculation, focusing instead on strengthening their position at work.
Mercury will also be retrograde in Scorpio from November 26 to December 16, 2024, opposing retrograde Jupiter. This period offers a good opportunity to recover past debts and invest wisely. However, it’s important to refrain from spending unless absolutely necessary.
Mars will be stationary and retrograde in Cancer, along with Jupiter retrograde in Taurus, which may test the patience of Scorpio, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and Leo natives. It is advised to avoid speculation and large investments during this time.
Jupiter retrograde in the earth sign Taurus encourages a more practical and realistic approach. It urges us to avoid “get-rich-quick” schemes and re-evaluate our goals and plans, making them as practical as possible. Extravagance and impulsive enthusiasm should take a backseat for the next four months.
Taurus’s ruler, Venus, will oppose retrograde Jupiter between October 13 and November 6, 2024, which could create some anxious moments for both Taurus and Scorpio signs. It’s a time to avoid getting caught up in the personal details of others and instead focus on your own path. This period is also favorable for manifestation.
Due to Saturn’s influence, negative thoughts may arise, and they could manifest negatively if not carefully managed. It’s crucial to surround yourself with positive people and maintain a clear, focused mind to avoid such pitfalls.
Jupiter Retrograde 2024: A Time for New Opportunities and Personal Growth
If Jupiter is one of your ruling planets (i.e., you were born with the Moon or Ascendant in Pisces or Sagittarius, or on a Thursday, or with the Moon in Punarvasu, Vishakha, or Poorvabhadra Nakshatras), or if you’re currently experiencing the Mahadasha or Antardasha of Jupiter, this is an ideal time to explore new places, form new relationships, invest for long-term benefits, and even enjoy movie dates.
December 2024 will be a great time for creative and romantic pursuits. It’s also an excellent period to focus on improving physical fitness, beautification, and even consider cosmetic surgeries.
For those born with retrograde Jupiter in their birth chart, this is a prime time to seize an opportunity that was previously overlooked or to enter into a long-term relationship that others may have struggled to maintain.
While gold prices may rise slightly during this period, they won’t increase enough to generate significant profits.
The retrograde motion of Jupiter in 2024 forms a conjunction with retrograde Uranus, a sextile with retrograde Neptune, and a trine with retrograde Pluto. This alignment brings about unique events that will have a lasting impact on the lives of those born under the Moon signs or Ascendants of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn.
On the political front, these four months may prove challenging for Afghanistan, Pakistan, the USA, and many European countries.
