Transit of Jupiter in Aquarius in 2021-22

Yet again, we are moving towards Jupiter’s next transit in Aquarius on 5th April, 2021. As I see, Jupiter’s transit in Aquarius will be the only major transit during the year 2021 because other planets with bigger transits are not going to change their signs this year. Also, for another year, Jupiter is going to remain under impact of Saturn. In last 12 months, Jupiter was with Saturn in Capricorn and now it will be in another Saturn ruled sign Aquarius. This article is my take or understanding of this transit. At the outset, I may repeat that events in our life happen as per collective impact of all planets. One planet transiting in any sign neither going to make you King nor Beggar, but this one planet’s transit will certainly contribute its mite into the collective impact. Hence, it is important to know what Jupiter’s contribution in the whole. 

 

Also, Jupiter is the biggest and most expansive planet among all. Its transits last for about 13 months. This is a considerably long time in comparison to other transits we have of Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, & Venus. So, if a big planet like Jupiter is transiting in one sign for about one year, it is going to make some impact to Human Life. This article is little effort to get an idea of impact. 

 

So, let’s 1st look at all the important factors to understand this transit – 

 

Jupiter’s current transit – Somehow my approach in Astrology is about experience. So, if a book says something about a planetary position but person having that planetary position didn’t experience what book says then after doing in-depth analysis and seeing all possible reasons, I will prefer to be on the side of person rather than Book as what he is saying is about his own experience. We can’t deny that. So, before looking into what Jupiter in Aquarius will do, it is important to see what Jupiter is currently doing in Capricorn? So, from April, 2020 to June, 2020 and then from Nov, 2020 to April, 2021, Jupiter is in Capricorn. Not only Jupiter is debilitated in Capricorn sign ruled by Saturn but it is also transiting along with Saturn in Capricorn. Understand that Jupiter always plays the role of “saving grace” for all of us. As Jupiter is debilitated and with Saturn during this year, this year proved to be a frustrating year. People think that they didn’t get results as per their efforts. Satun’s presence pushed us to put more efforts. We felt the peak of these results in the months of Jan-Feb, 2021 when we had stellium in Capricorn - https://www.astrosaxena.com/CapriStel. This transit made us put extra efforts in matters of things related with house where it was taking place and gave us very limited results. For many, it was an year of utter frustration.

 

As Jupiter’s transit in Capricorn gave its results, we can say that transit of Jupiter in Aquarius would also bring its results. Hence, it is necessary to check what we can expect with this transit of Jupiter in Aquarius.

 

Jupiter - Jupiter is the most benefic planet and it represents all the auspicious things like Knowledge, Wisdom, Law, Guru, Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy, Literature, Expansion of Things and Elderly People. For a girl, Jupiter also represents Husband.

 

Aquarius - Aquarius is 11th sign of zodiac belt, hence it signifies the things and energy related with 11th house of horoscope, such as Gains, Desires, Hopes and Wishes, Large Organisations, Network Circles etc. Besides this, Aquarius also represents Scientific Thinking & Research, Uplifting the Society, Higher Goals & Rewards for all. Aquarius is made of another set of 2 and half Nakshatra, i.e. Dhanishtha, Satabhisha and Purva-Bhadrapada. Aquarius Lord is Saturn & Rahu.

 

Transit Period – Jupiter will be in Aquarius from 5th Apr, 2021 to 13th Sep, 2021 and then from 20th Nov, 2021 to 13th April, 2022. From 14th Sep, 2021 to 20th Nov, 2021, Jupiter will retrograde and go back into Capricorn sign for about 2 months.  

 

Retrograde Period - Jupiter will be retrograde in Aquarius from 20th June, 2021 to 18th Oct, 2021. Within this time, Jupiter will be retrograde in Aquarius from 20th June, 2021 to 13th Sep, 2021 and then Jupiter will be retrograde in Capricorn from 13th Sep, 2021 to 18th Oct, 2021.  This means that Jupiter will be closer to Earth during this time. So, the results stated hereafter will be felt with greater intensity during this time. As Jupiter represents belief systems, this is also the time when we will reflect back at our belief system, teachings or Guru.

 

Meaning of Jupiter in Aquarius – Wherever Jupiter goes, it brings the knowledge and wisdom to that sign/house. It makes us learn things related to that sign/house. So, when Jupiter is in Aquarius, we can see following results –

 

1. Now, most important thing is Jupiter is again in Saturn ruled sign here. It is losing its dignity. So, we cannot expect Jupiter to give us its best results as the most beneficial planet. Most of its benefic results will be reduced and may come after delay, hard work, perseverance and frustration.

 

2. At the same time, at least Jupiter is away from double impact of Saturn during this transit as it will not be conjunct with Saturn. Hence, frustration or restrictions may not be up to highest limit.

 

3. Here we can say that concept on Jeeva Karaka and Ajeeva Karaka - https://www.astrosaxena.com/jkak will be like a guide for us as to what we can expect and what we cannot expect in results. It is clear that Jeeva Karaka results of Jupiter will be limited whereas Ajeeva Karaka results of Jupiter will still be available for us.

 

 

4. One more thing is that Jupiter will be in Aquarius at different times sporadically (transit will be completed in 2 different periods). What it does is that it reduces the intensity of transit and its results. Like, Jupiter transiting in 1 sign for 13 months continuously can give more potential and prominent results in comparison to Jupiter transiting in 1 sign for a few months in an year. So, this will further reduce the intensity and results of Jupiter in Aquarius transit.

 

5. Now, Aquarius is sign of new age technology, IT industry, Serving Humanity, Entrepreneurship, Large Group of people, MNCs and big organizations. Jupiter represents Knowledge, Higher Education, Teacher, Guru and Belief System (Religion, Philosophy, Literature and Spirituality).

 

Let’s mix them together.

 

6. This transit can make people incline towards serving humanity through their knowledge and higher education.

 

7. Is it just a coincidence that all the knowledge sharing nowadays is online and through new-age technology? Well, we can see this trend further expanding in coming times.

 

8. We can see more and more people sharing their knowledge through YouTube and other social media outlets during coming years. Jupiter in Aquarius can easily represent a Teacher or a Guide who reaches out to his Pupil through new-age technology.

 

9. It can be the year of eccentric Gurus and people getting interested in them. It can also be the year of people getting interested in eccentric or unconventional knowledge.

 

10. We can see another IT boom in coming times as Jupiter represents expansion and it is going in sign of new-age technology. People can be interested in education of new-age technology and making career in such fields.

 

11. Some new inventions or discoveries in technology or science/medicine related fields can be happening during this time.

 

12. As the world is becoming more dependent on internet, this transit can see an expansion in online entrepreneurship and people serving others through domain names rather than through physical shops etc.

 

13. This transit can also show that someone or some people can brighten us with the knowledge that over-dependence on technology can be harmful for the mankind.

 

14. People working in Corporate World can be inclined to pursue their higher education to get better recognition at work place.

 

15. People will be inclined to serve other by making big groups and organizations.

 

16. As Aquarius also represents our gains and desires, Jupiter there can expand the desires of gains during this transit. The results would be seen by those who are following Saturn’s conditions of delay, hard work and perseverance etc.

 

17. Overall, this transit shows more results on professional fronts rather than personal front. This transit can be great for Technology, Science, Medicine, Knowledge Sharing, Entrepreneurship and Serving Humanity but the personal relationship matters may see the usual challenges and frustration.

 

 

Jupiter’s Aspects – We will only cover the house Jupiter will transit as per the Ascendant as the biggest impact will be there. But we need to be careful about Jupiter’s Aspect during this transit. Jupiter will aspect 5th house, 7th house and 9th house from its house of transit and impact those houses. Especially when Jupiter’s transit is not looking too great, we are left with a hope from Jupiter’s aspects as Jupiter’s aspect is always bringing something to learn from, even if Jupiter is debilitated at exact degree. So, we need to keep an eye on where it is aspecting from Aquarius in your chart. We won’t be able to cover it here else this article would never end then but I can tell you in brief that Jupiter’s 5th house aspect is aspect of Education. It means wherever Jupiter aspects 5th from its place in your chart, you treat that house as where you want to learn more about things related to that house. 7th house aspect is about sharing of knowledge. Here, Jupiter finds the people with whom it can share the knowledge of the house it is transiting. 9th house aspect is of higher education. So, wherever Jupiter aspects at 9th house from its transit, you want to gain higher education related to that house or want to follow things related to that house as your religion.

 

Dashas – As always, this transit of Jupiter will be more influential on those people who are going through Jupiter dashas. It doesn’t mean that for others it won’t do anything. About an year is long enough time to give some results to everyone. 

 

Houses Ruled – Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces signs. So, Jupiter will take the energy of those houses where these two signs fall in your chart and will express in through the house where it is transiting in Aquarius sign.

 

Jupiter Return – This transit will also be important for those who are born with Jupiter in Aquarius, regardless of running Dasha. This will be a Jupiter Return for them which happens once in 12 years. All the results of karaka & house ruler things of Jupiter, as discussed in this article, will come to the fore during this transit of Jupiter Return - https://www.astrosaxena.com/jupret. Likewise, Jupiter transiting over Sun, Moon and Ascendant are equally important transits.

 

Jupiter in Birth Chart - Jupiter's position and dignity in Birth Chart will have an important role as dasha of Jupiter in giving the results of Jupiter only as per its dignity in birth chart. So, please keep that position and dignity in mind. 

 

 

Nakshatra – As Jupiter crosses in to Aquarius, it will be transiting over Dhanishtha, Shatabhishak and Purva-Bhadrapada Nakshatra. Jupiter passing over each nakshatra will give us knowledge and wisdom related to things of that nakshatra. It will also give us results of the house where nakshatra lords are placed in birth chart. Like, Jupiter transiting over Dhanishtha can bring wealth and marital conflicts, Jupiter transiting over Shatabhishak can bring inclination towards serving others and Jupiter transiting over Purva-Bhadrapada can bring inclination towards spiritual and mystical pursuits. It can also bring results of Mars, Rahu and Jupiter as nakshatra rulers respectively, as per its position in birth chart.

 

Other Planets in Aquarius – Likewise, if a person has planet/planets in Aquarius in birth chart then Jupiter transiting over that planet/planets will expand the traits and characteristics of planet/planets. Now, the exact result depends on the planet, its dignity and conjunction/aspects on it. So, we can’t cover everything here. Also, during the year, other planets like Sun, Moon, Mercury & Venus will transit through Capricorn and will conjunct transiting Jupiter-Saturn. So, that will also have its impact on Jupiter’s results here.

 

Other transits and joint impact – Last but certainly not the least, we need to keep an eye on other planetary transits and joint impacts being made with Jupiter in Aquarius. Most importantly, Jupter-Saturn from their respective transiting positions will aspect Libra sign. So, whichever house has Libra sign in chart, that house will hold some importance till April, 2022.  

 

At right time, we will cover these joint impacts through separate articles and posts.

 

Now, the main course. 

 

This article won’t only tell how Jupiter will impact for all Ascendant and Moon Sign people, but it will also show how Jupiter’s role is switching for each ascendant sign and therefore why making a generalise opinion on a planet or sign may not be a prudent thing to do? As I said, this transit is going to be more fruitful for those people going through Jupiter Mahadasha but it doesn’t mean that it will have no impact on others. We all go through Antardashas and Pratyantar dashas of all the planets throughout year, so this transit will show its impact in those time periods. Also, for slow moving planets like Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu and Saturn, we don’t have to depend on Dashas. Because of their slow movement, they always impact our life in given time. 

 

Please see results of this transit from Ascendant and Moon Sign both. Predictions from Ascendant Sign will show what will actually happen and predictions from Moon Sign will show what our mind desires and how mind will react to such events. Another thing is that when Ascendant and Moon sign both point towards one event that event has higher possibility to happen. 

 

So, let’s begin – 

 

Aries Ascendant or Aries Moon Sign – For Aries people, Jupiter rules over 9th house (Sagittarius) of religion, higher learnings and 12th house (Pisces) of Spirituality, Charity and Hidden Secrets. So for Aries people, Jupiter is more a knowledge and travel based planet. Jupiter will be transiting in 11th house of Gains, Desires and Income. This will be a transit where they will be focused on making good gains and income as they may feel lack of resources. They will be focused on their elder siblings due to some stress, if any. They will have to work hard so that they can earn and gain more in their ventures, as 11th house also relate with Entrepreneurship. There will be no easy gains. 11th house also relates with Large Organizations. They can also relocate to a new place as 11th house is 8th from 4th house, i.e. change in home. They need to be very practical and realistic in money matters else they can face lack of resources. Gains and R&R of 11th house can come only when person is putting best efforts over the longest period of time. Additional knowledge gain can help person in gaining more at work. This also shows someone can serve people through his knowledge, religion, spirituality and philosophy. Person can travel a lot for his work.

  

Taurus Ascendant or Taurus Moon Sign – For Taurus people, Jupiter rules over 8th house (Sagittarius) of Occult, Mysteries & Other People Money and 11th house (Pisces) of Higher Cause, Gains and Income. Jupiter will be transiting in 10th house of Career, Status and Father. It is a transit which will be totally focused on Career, Recognition and Work. They can be required to put extra effort and show perseverance at their work. Then they can expect good recognition at work. There can be changes and challenges in matters of career or authority due to Saturn’s lordship. They can have stress around authority figures, may it be at home or at office. As 10th house also relates with Father, this transit can bring some gains from Father. They may need to work really hard to keep up with expectations of others. A change in career or work can be on cards as 8th house lord is transiting through 10th house. They can find themselves very hard working because without hard work nothing will happen. They can also gain from inheritance.

 

Gemini Ascendant or Gemini Moon Sign – For Gemini people, Jupiter rules over 7th house (Sagittarius) of Business, Other People and Marriage and 10th house (Pisces) of Career, Work Environment. So for Gemini people, Jupiter takes shape of a Career Oriented planet. Jupiter will be transiting in 9th house of Higher Learning, Gurus, Law, Religion & Philosophy. It can be a transit where person can be inclined towards his Higher Learning and Higher Education. They can also be focused on reading about Religions and Philosophies. They will be interested in taking far distant travels, more in nature of pilgrimages and meeting people of different cultures. Person may find an old and wise Guru. Person will learn a lot from his Teachers, various Religions and Philosophies. Education taken during this time will help him grow his career and income during Jupiter’s next transit in Pisces. At the same time, 9th house is 12th from 10th house. So, it is also a house of loss of career and authority. It shows some stress around authority figures at work including some problems with father at home. Not a good time for career in job setup and they may have some continuous challenges there. They can get into relationship with someone of different ethnicity and culture. A sudden event can also bring them their Guru. It is a good transit for gaining and sharing knowledge.

 

Cancer Ascendant or Cancer Moon Sign – For Cancer people, Jupiter rules over 6th house (Sagittarius) of Daily Routine Life, Jobs etc. and 9th house (Pisces) of Religion and Long Distance Travels. So for Cancer people, Jupiter takes shape of a Service and Education related planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 8th house of Occult, Mysteries and Sudden Events. Here, person will be inclined on serving humanity through higher learning of Occult, Mysticism and Hidden Sciences. Career and Life Path are surely going to be transformed/changed as Jupiter represents expansions and 8th house represents major changes. So, it can bring some major change in overall life. Person may take care while driving and travelling as 8th house relates to Accidents. Great time for higher studies of Occult, Stock Market and Surgeries or any research oriented subjects, in case person is interested in such fields. At the same time, this transit can bring stress in relationship or dissatisfaction in sexual relation. This can also bring inheritance to the person. It would be a good suggestion to maintain a long distance relationship for the time being, especially as Saturn is transiting their 7th house. Cancer people should be ready and receptive for some major changes in overall life.

 

Leo Ascendant or Leo Moon Sign – For Leo people, Jupiter rules over 5th house (Sagittarius) of Education, Creativity & Children and 8th house (Pisces) of Marriage Benefits, Occult and Mysticism. So, for Leo people, Jupiter takes shape of planet which can give Marriage Benefits and great knowledge of Research Subjects. Now, Jupiter transits into 7th house from Ascendant or Moon, it brings expansive desires and limited results in relationship. It can end-up in stressful situations in relations. Same thing can be said about Business and Partnerships. So, this will be time when person will be focused on relationship matters, either new or maintaining the existing one, and they should try to accommodate as much as possible. It also shows that sudden events and changes may impact relationship; hence they should be aware and careful while dealing with spouse. There can be lots of instabilities in relationship or with partner. Again, it would be a good suggestion to maintain a long distance relationship for the time being. At the same time, it can be a great time to start your own knowledge sharing business.

 

Virgo Ascendant or Virgo Moon Sign – For Virgo people, Jupiter rules over 4th house (Sagittarius) of Home, Mother and 7th house (Pisces) of Marriage, Relationship and Partner. So, for Virgo people, Jupiter takes shape of a Family Oriented planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 6th house of Daily Work Routine, Disputes, Diseases and Obstacles. Their focus will move out of relationship and they will focus on dealing their daily work life. They may face some obstacles or conflicts in relationship matters. At the same time, it can be good time for their knowledge oriented business. It is not a good transit for relationship as they may have some disputes and conflicts coming up. There can also be a possibility to illness to mother or partner. Again, they need to accommodate as much as possible and it would be a good suggestion to maintain a long distance relationship for the time being. Certainly not a good time to start a new relationship. They also need to take good care of their health. Their focus would be dealing with diseases, disputes and obstacles. There can be health issues to child too. They can be dealing with loans related matters too. In a more positive way, it can be a situation where you are required to stay away from your spouse because of various reasons, which can be good too, like travelling due to job etc. Great time to educate yourself in Medicines, Law and Job related matters/courses. They can serve people in their medical or legal issues too through their knowledge.

 

Libra Ascendant or Libra Moon Sign – For Libra people, Jupiter rules over 3rd house (Sagittarius) of efforts and actions and 6th house (Pisces) of daily routine jobs and obstacles. So, for Libra people, Jupiter takes shape of an action oriented planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 5th house of Education, Romance and Creativity. This can give desires of relationship but results may be minimum. This shows that Romance will take a back seat & person should be more focussed on Education. So, this is a great time for educating yourself in your field of interests, hobbies and talent etc. Those who have children can be focused on children. This time can bring relationship too but relation will be more an on/off type and will bring more stress than joy. It may be a cold romance. At the same time, they can be inclined to start a knowledge sharing business. Ideally, this time should be used to focus on Education. It also indicates a change in Career as 5th house is 8th from 10th house, transformation in career matters.

 

Scorpio Ascendant or Scorpio Moon Sign – For Scorpio people, Jupiter rules over 2nd house (Sagittarius) of Family, Values and Speech and 5th house (Pisces) of Education, Children and Ancient Texts. So, for Scorpio people, Jupiter takes shape of knowledge and beliefs related planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 4th house of Home, Mother & Peace of Mind. This can be a period of gain of house property or any other real estate property as Jupiter represents expansion. It may indicate renovation of existing property too. Focus will remain on Mother and Home. It can also show gains from Mother or homeland as 2nd lord is coming to 4th house. They would love to stay at home or with Mother. It is also a good transit for spiritual pursuits. Even if they are at home, it can bring some stress in home or with mother due to Saturn’s lordship. They may lose interest in love matters or their children may go away from them as 4th house is 12thfrom 5th house. Good time to begin a home based business which can be of educational nature. Their next one year can revolve around their home, mother, home land or real estate properties.

 

Sagittarius Ascendant or Sagittarius Moon Sign – For Sagittarius people, Jupiter rules over 1st house (Sagittarius) of Life Path, Self and Life Purpose and 4th house (Pisces) of Home and Mother. So for Sagittarius people, Jupiter takes shape of a home and life path related planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 3rd house of Communication, Travels, Efforts, Actions and Business. This shows that they will be interested in collecting information and work hard on business, communication and counselling. They will travel far away from their home land. Their focus will turn away from Home or places away from home, so travelling will be frequent. They will start working on a possible business venture. Again, that business can be knowledge oriented. They will focus on their own hobbies and skills. Things/Events related with younger siblings will also remain focus. They will be seen as teacher or preacher to others. As 3rd house remains the house of efforts, this is a transit of putting best effort with perseverance then only any good result can be expected. This can expand their will power and courage too. They should be careful about their wealth and invest it properly. They can also be involved in buying/selling of real estate property. .

 

Capricorn Ascendant or Capricorn Moon Sign – For Capricorn people, Jupiter rules over 12th house (Sagittarius) of Spirituality, Foreign Lands & Foreign Companies and 3rd house (Pisces) of Efforts, Travelling and Skills. So for Capricorn people, Jupiter takes shape of an action and spirituality or travelling related planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 2nd house of Wealth, Speech and Family. So, they will be focussed on saving wealth and taking care of family matters. As Jupiter rules 3rd house, it shows that wealth can come from their self efforts. They need to device new ways and work very hard in saving wealth. This can bring expansion in family and wealth related matters. There can be expansion in family, through marriage or child birth. Their wealth can also come through 12th house related matters like foreign lands, imagination and creativity. At the same time, if person is not smart enough to manage his wealth, this transit also indicates loss of wealth. Overall, focus will be Family and Wealth.

 

Aquarius Ascendant or Aquarius Moon Sign - For Aquarius people, Jupiter rules over 11th house (Sagittarius) of Gains, Income & Desires and 2nd house (Pisces) of Family, Wealth and Speech. So, for Aquarius people, Jupiter takes shape of a wealth and desires oriented planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 1st house of Self & Life Path. Focus will be lost from all areas of life and will be centred at Self. They would want to know why they are here in this world and what their true life path is. This can bring a new hope or optimism to them. As Jupiter rules 2 houses of wealth, this also means that they can have good amount of wealth coming to self. As Jupiter is a marriage and family oriented planet, this also suggests possibility of relationship. They would like to travel far and away from place of birth and it is a big possibility that by the time Jupiter leaves Aquarius, they, their life, life path and career, all will be changed as they will find their true life path. A really good awakening transit for them. A time of new meaningful beginning in life.  At the same time, they need to take care of wealth and health related matters.

 

Pisces Ascendant or Pisces Moon Sign - For Pisces people, Jupiter rules over 10th house (Sagittarius) of Career, Fame and Reputation and 1st house (Pisces) of Self, Life Path and Life Purpose. So, for Pisces people, Jupiter takes shape of a path and purpose oriented planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 12th house of Foreign Lands, Spirituality, Losses and Closures. Whenever any major planet transits 12th house, it is closing time. So, understand like this. As planets move each house of chart during different transits, they block/delay some results of each house. Then when they go into 12th house, it releases those results which can be given. Balance sheet tallies and all pending matters get closed, so that when they enter into Ascendant during next transit, a new beginning can be made. So, this transit will see them working on all pending matters. Those which are supposed to be accomplished, will give results. Those which are not supposed to work-out will be considered as closed. Additionally, they will be highly interested in Spirituality. They will travel or relocate to Foreign Lands. They may shift their Family to Foreign Lands. At the same time, they need to take care of their health and wealth both as it is also house of hospitals and expenses.

 

Conclusion – As Jupiter is transiting in Saturn ruled sign Aquarius, most of the results are of Saturnian nature. Have a happy Jupiter in Aquarius transit.    

 

Hope this helps. Please post any comment or query you may have.
