The planet Jupiter makes a move from his current position in the sign of Capricorn (Makara) to Aquarius (Kumbha) during the month of November ‘21. The transits of the slow moving Jupiter and Saturn are considered more important and is studied for their impact on the various Rashis. Jupiter is among the most benefic while Saturn may have malefic influences depending where he is positioned. Their movements across the Zodiac will most certainly bring changes to an individual’s life. While Jupiter moves a sign each year (every 12 months), Saturn takes about 2.5 years to move to the next Zodiac sign.
During November ’21, Jupiter transits from Makara to Kumbha. Makara is the sign where Jupiter is debilitated (Neecha) and hence at his weakest position. The move to Kumbha comes as a relief since he will move out of his debilitation. Although Kumbha is a sign ruled by Shani, the rashi can still be considered a better position compared to Makara since he will now be finally free from his debilitation sign.
Kumbha is the 11th sign of the natural zodiac and signifies ‘gains’. Being an airy sign, it represents philosophers and thinkers. Kumbha by nature upholds philosophical wisdom and the presence of the plant of wisdom, Jupiter, in this Rashi complements it further. Thus Jupiter’s move to Kumbha is generally good. The Kumbha Mela, one of the largest gatherings in the world, happens every 12 years, whenever Jupiter is in Kumbha along with certain other planetary positions (Read my earlier post on: Jupiter in ‘Kumbha’ & Vishu 2021).
Planetary transits of Jupiter & Saturn will varyingly impact every Rashi sign in a positive or negative way:
For the Rashis (Moon Signs) of Mesha, Rushabha, Mithuna, Vrischika & Kumbha Guru’s transit will be generally favorable
For the Rashis (Moon Signs) of Karkata, Tula, Dhanusha, Makara, & Meena Guru’s transit is not so favorable
For Simha & Kanya Rashi the transit is neutral and will have mixed effects.
In any case this year is an exception. Usually, as mentioned here above, Jupiter transits to the next rashi, every 12 months. However, this time, he will remain in Kumbha only uptil April 2022, ie. about 5 months only and will then move into Pisces. Hence the transit effects are much shorter. Guru’s move into Pisces (Meena Rashi) is even more beneficial since its his own sign and we will study the effects that this transit will have, when it happens in April next year.
Lastly, we should carefully note here that although each transit will give certain generic influences to each Rashi, the final result or impact on each person should be delicately studied by examining the native’s horoscopes at birth.
