Jupiter transit 2025 effects by Moon sign
A transit is read from your Moon sign (Janma Rashi), not your Sun sign. Jupiter gives good results when it transits the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th houses from the Moon, and mixed or testing ones elsewhere. The table above lists the Moon signs each of its 2025 stays favours.
How long Jupiter (Guru) stays in a sign
Jupiter stays in a sign for about 13 months. Jupiter enters one new sign most years. Its yearly four-month retrograde can take it back into the previous sign, which gives two or three entries that year.
Why these dates differ from Western astrology
These dates use the Vedic sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, which is about 24° behind the tropical zodiac of Western astrology. So Jupiter enters each sign here weeks after the date a Western horoscope gives for the same sign. Times are for Ujjain: the moment of a transit is the same everywhere, but the local date can differ.
