Joint Impact (J.I.) of Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn on Scorpio sign during 2024-25.
Joint Impact (J.I.) of Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn on Scorpio sign during 2024-25.
As we have started our journey in 2024, I think it is perfect time to become aware of probably the most important joint impact of planets which is going to impact us from now to May, 2025. As I see, things have already started building-up and stages are being set-up for a major shift between mid-2024 to mid-2025. Hence, it is important to know about this transit ASAP to start pro-active measures so that we can mitigate the issues later in transit.
As I said earlier in one of the articles - https://www.astrosaxena.com/2024, as I see 2024 can be an year of major changes, instabilities and transformations. Reasons are multi-fold and here they are -
Numerologically - If you add-up all numbers od 2024; i.e. 2+0+2+4 = 8. 8 is the number of Saturn. Saturn is the planet of major changes. Also, 8 is the number of infinity and Karma too; i.e. whatever goes around comes around. So, this can be the year where past karmas may come-up to us to face it and learn lessons from it.
Astrologically - Now, if we see things astrologically then also a lot of energy will be accumulated, throughout the year, in Scorpio sign. Like,
Right now, Saturn is aspecting Scorpio from Aquarius - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/SatTrAqua2223 and https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/SatTrAqua2223-2 .
Rahu has moved into Pisces and it has also started aspecting Scorpio - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/RahuPisces2023 .
Now, from May, 2024 onwards, Jupiter will be transiting Taurus and it will also aspect Scorpio sign - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/TransitofJupiterinTaurusin2024-25 .
So, we can see that lots of energy will be accumulated in Scorpio sign, which is again 8 number sign and represents major changes, instability and past karma.
This joint impact of Rahu-Saturn on Scorpio is already on but Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn all will impact Scorpio from May, 2024 to May, 2025. This is when we will feel this impact on Scorpio with most intensity.
During this time too, time from Aug, 2024 to May, 2025 can be the most intense, challenging and life-transforming as Mars will go retrograde in Gemini/Cancer during this time. So, understand it like this, lots of planets (Rahu-Saturn-Jupiter) are impacting Scorpio and its lord Mars is going into debilitation. It is like a person who is facing lots of chaotic situation in life and feeling that he is unable to handle them and losing control over the situations.
So, we need to be very careful in matters related to the House in our Chart where Scorpio falls as we can see changes, challenges and instability in that area of life. Proactive work from the very beginning of the year in that area of life can mitigate difficulties in life during the latter part of year.
It can be different House and different area of life for everyone as per their ascendant. Like, for Scorpions like me, it is impacting 1st house of overall life itself but for Leo people, it is impacting 4th house of home life, real estate and mother. Hence, we need to be extra careful in the area of life represented by the House where Scorpio falls in chart. Also, if there is a planet in Scorpio in birth chart then person can also go through the transformation or major changes related with that planet or related with the houses it rules in chart.
Last but not the least, whenever we go through such difficult and challenging transits then it is always better to look at previous such transits. So, if we go back in memory then we may realize that a similar year was 2015. 2015 added up to 8 again and Saturn-Jupiter-Ketu all were impacting Scorpio in transit (Saturn was in Scorpio itself, Jupiter was aspecting from Cancer and Ketu was aspecting from Pisces). If you have seen some major changes in life in 2015 then you can be taking proactive measures in those matters this time to mitigate difficulties. Obviously, dashas will play their roles.
Needless to mention here that Scorpio represents many different things at different levels. At one place, if it represents instability, chaos and changes then on the other hand, it also represents mystical side of life, occult/mysticism, any research oriented subject and people having mystical experiences in life. So, if we focus on this mystical/spiritual side of Scorpio then same transit in 2024 can bring some mystical experiences also.
Planets, Signs, Houses, Nakshatras present all level of possibilities in front of us. At the end of the day, it is our choice where we want to focus. Same 2024 can be an excellent year for Spiritual and Mystical growth if utilized properly.
Now, let’s understand this joint impact of Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn on Scorpio sign.
Transit Period – As discussed, joint impact of Rahu-Saturn on Scorpio is already on but Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn all will impact Scorpio from May, 2024 to May, 2025. This is when we will feel this impact on Scorpio with most intensity.
Now, Rahu, Jupiter & Saturn and their joint impact.
Rahu - Rahu represents illusion, foreign lands, foreign things, Drugs, Medicines, any type of intoxication, fame, wealth, success, obsession, past-life left-over karma, movies, television, online world, cheating, imagined fears, unusual things, unique things, creativity, rule breaker. Rahu also blows things out of proportions. During transit, Rahu is basically that obsessive energy which makes us gravitate towards the things related to house/sign where Rahu is transiting in next 18 months.
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.
Saturn - Saturn is all that which we don't like in our life. Saturn is Delay, Frustration, Restriction, Limitation and Anxiety. It is Hard-work and Labour. It is people of Authority, like Boss at your work place or Father at home. Saturn is Master and Servant both (depends on who uses Saturn in what way). Saturn is our Karmic Debt from life. Saturn is the things we didn't treat too well in our past life. Saturn is our challenges and biggest lessons of life. Saturn is Old-age, Teeth in human body, Diseases, Transformation etc. Saturn is Discipline, Organisation, Structure, Government, Law & Order etc.
Scorpio - Scorpio is the 8th sign of zodiac belt, hence it represents the things and energy related with 8th house of horoscope like Sudden Events, Secrecy, Dark World, Occult Science, Research, Inheritance, Serving Others, Taxes etc. Besides these things sign of Scorpio also represent transformation, means changing the whole nature upside down. This is one sign which is favorite of every Astrologer, because it has maximum secrets, so every astrologer gets maximum scope of researching. This is sign about which no one can tell with precision that what will happen to the planets in it, as it is sign of secrecy itself. Wherever Scorpio falls in your chart, you may have had biggest challenges in making things related with that house more stable. Scorpio is also one of those unique signs which has 2 rulers, i.e. Mars and Ketu. In Western Astrology, Pluto also co-rules Scorpio. All this makes Scorpio a chaotic sign. Scorpio consists of next set of 2 and half nakshatras, i.e. Vishakha, Anuradha and Jyeshtha.
Concept of Joint Impact - So, the concept goes like if while transiting 2 or 3 major planets are impacting one house/sign of a chart, then things related to that house/sign are more probable to happen. For Ex - If Jupiter is transiting through Cancer and Saturn is in Scorpio, then Jupiter-Saturn joint impact will be on Scorpio (as Saturn is sitting there and Jupiter has 5th house aspect there) and Capricorn (as Saturn has 3rd house aspect and Jupiter has 7th house aspect there). So, wherever Scorpio and Capricorn fall in your chart, things related to those houses are most probable to happen. It rarely happens that joint impact of 2 or 3 major planets doesn't work for someone.
Reason behind the Concept - A normal reason that is given for this concept is that Jupiter-Saturn are biggest planets in Solar System, hence their impact on a house/sign works in a given time. Valid argument to a great extent but there are few more reasons as I see. These are as follows -
- Positioning of Jupiter & Saturn in Sky - If we see the positioning of Jupiter & Saturn in the Solar System, they are farthest away from Sun among all visible planets. Hence, their orbit of revolving around Sun is biggest. It also means that all other planets work under the orbit of Jupiter & Saturn. So, when these two are simultaneously indicating towards a portion of Sky (house/sign), then other planets are bound to follow the indication.
- Joint Impact of Transiting Planets - Another way of saying same thing is that normally Jupiter-Saturn-Rahu transits are for a long period of time. So, their joint impact also lasts for a longer time. So, if Jupiter-Saturn-Rahu joint impact will be there for even 6-7 months on a house/sign then it is a good enough time window to predict the event as not only Jupiter-Saturn-Rahu are impacting the house/sign but in those 6-7 months, other planets like Sun-Moon-Mars-Mercury-Venus are also supposed to pass through same sign as they have smaller transits. So, at a given time, 3-4 planets can be impacting a house/sign, which makes it more probable that things related to that house/sign can manifest during the transit. So, it is joint collaboration of all transiting planets.
- Duration of Joint Impact - Another important reason is, as I said, duration of transit. When planets are impacting a house/sign for a longer time of 6+ months, then possibilities are high to make a meaningful prediction. This is also the reason why predictions of negative events have more possibility of being successful than predictions of positive events. Negative Events depend on transits of malefic planets like Saturn/Rahu/Ketu/Mars. Except Mars, all other planets have longer transit time. Positive Events depend on transits of Jupiter-Venus-Mercury-Moon. Except Jupiter, all others have very short transit duration. As joint impact of Jupiter-Saturn normally lasts for 6+months, there are more chances of things happening in this time frame. So, duration of transit plays an important role in manifestation of predictions.
- Last but not the least; Saturn is the one which makes us do hard work and Jupiter is the one which provides the results. So, when Jupiter-Saturn both impact any house/sign during transit then it means that Saturn will make us put efforts related with that house and then Jupiter provides the results of that house. Like this, they work in tandem. We can say that if someone is ready to put his hard work and efforts in certain area of life, as per Saturn’s requirements, then he is supposed to get benefits of the same house.
- So, these are the reasons why joint impact of major planets is almost certain to give us results.
Joint Impact of Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn – So, we can see the joint impact of Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn in following ways –
Rahu gravitates us towards the things related to house/sign where it transits. So, Rahu in Pisces can make us gravitate towards Pisces related things and the house related things where Rahu is transiting as per individual chart. Article of Rahu’s transit in Pisces can be helpful in understanding this - . From Pisces, Rahu’s 9th aspect will be on Scorpio which is about getting higher education. So, Rahu is telling us to get education, guidance and counselling so that we can handle the changes of Scorpio in a better ways.
Jupiter is the most benefic planet and brings knowledge and awareness of the things related to the house or sign it transits into during the year. As Jupiter remains the most benefic planet, it also brings the benefits of the things related to the house/sign where it transits in to. Article of Jupiter’s transit in Taurus can be helpful in understanding this - . Jupiter’s 7th aspect on Scorpio also shows that we need to gain and share knowledge as to how to handle Scorpion energy in a better way.
Saturn will put a block of delay, hard work and perseverance over Scorpio with its 10th aspect from Aquarius. It is an aspect of duty and responsibility. It means that Saturn is telling us to take up the duty or responsibility of upcoming major changes in life and results will be achieved after immense hard work and perseverance. In the end, as always Saturn will win the battle and we have to bow down to Saturn, i.e. we will get results of the house where Scorpio fall in chart after great delay, hard work and perseverance. Positive/Negative nature of result depends on whether we face the changes or challenges of Scorpio head-on or we try to escape from it. Lord of Justice Saturn will do Justice on this ground only.
So, we can say that Rahu-Jupiter want us to 1st gain knowledge, awareness and counselling as to how to deal with upcoming major changes of Scorpio sign and then Saturn wants us to put that knowledge into practice in dealing with changes of Scorpio with hard work and perseverance. If person is able to do that then Jupiter in Taurus can also bring the benefits as per its benefic nature.
Best possible use of this transit can be in field of research, occult and mystical matters. Person can utilize this transit to get more and more research based knowledge. We need to remain cautious against other Scorpio related results like accidents, sudden events and surgeries etc.
Dasha – As always, someone going through Rahu, Jupiter or Saturn MD/AD will feel the full impact of transit. Others will also see some of the results as transit duration of more than a year is long enough to impact the human life.
Age of Individual – Results of malefic planets largely depend on the age of person as person is supposed to develop the ability to handle the energy of malefics in a better way.
Planets in Scorpio – Also, if you are born with planets in Scorpio, you will see results of those planets too as Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn will impact them.
Mars Debilitation/Retrograde transit – Last but not the least; Mars will go retrograde in Gemini/Cancer during the later part of the year to mid-2025. As I see, this is the most critical time for this transit where lots of planets (Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn) will be impacting Scorpio and Scorpio lord Mars will be transiting in great enemy sign Gemini and then in debilitated sign Cancer and then it will also go retrograde in Gemini and then will again go through Cancer. This is about 9 months’ time period where not only Mars is losing the dignity heavily but it is also going very slow and going in same difficult signs twice over back and forth.
The best possible interpretation I can give to this is that person is going through lots of changes of Scorpio sign and feeling that everything is going out of control. Being receptive towards changes in life can help rather than resisting them. It means that along with house of Scorpio, we should be very careful in dealing with matters of Houses where Gemini and Cancer fall in our chart. In a subsequent article, I will write about Mars retrograde and its impact on Gemini and Cancer to proactively prepare for this article.
Jeeva Karaka & Ajeeva Karaka – As always, we have to remember that these very limited results with immense hard work will be more towards Jeeva Karakas, i.e. People, whereas we can still expect results of Ajeeva Karakas of the same house. But even those results of Ajeeva Karakas can only be achieved after immense hard work, delay and perseverance. So even there, things may not be easy to achieve. For more info on this concept, please check this link - https://www.astrosaxena.com/jkak. It is better to not expect any benefits from people or relationship of the house where Scorpio falls in your chart during most of the 2024-25.
Now, we can see their impact ascendant-wise. So, here we go –
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 is more prominent to happen.
Aries Ascendant or Aries Moon Sign – For Aries people, Scorpio falls in 8th house of of Change, Occult and Mysteries etc. So, they can see major changes happening in overall life. Their whole life path can go through a major change. There is a need to be careful against accidents, sudden events and surgeries. Major issues can come up in relationship benefits or in relation with in-laws. There can also be an inheritance issues. Good/bad nature of change will depend on how overall chart and dashas are? It also shows a break in relation or partition in inheritance. They can be investing lots of time in occult side of live. Good time to go towards meditation and other spiritual/mystical pursuits.
Taurus Ascendant/Taurus Moon Sign – For Taurus people, Scorpio falls into their 7th house of Relations, Partners, Spouse and Business. It is not a good transit for them in matters of relationship as Rahu-Jupiter together can expand desires or expectations in relationship but Saturn’s aspect can bring frustration in relationship. The only way to deal with this situation is to lower down our expectations in relation else it can lead to major chaos and instability in relationship. It can also show some difficulties or health issues to spouse. It also shows that they can be inclined towards dealing & serving people through business and that business can involve a lot of research oriented activities. They can expect benefits from such a business but in relationship matters, they need to be very cautious. If they start a new relation then they may have some past-life karma attached with that person. This transit can bring a major change in their relationship life or with partner.
Gemini Ascendant/Gemini Moon Sign – For Gemini people, Scorpio falls into their 6th house of disputes, diseases & daily work life. It shows that their daily work life can involve lots of research oriented work. They can get into disputes or litigations during this time. There can be illness related to intestines or illness of rare/unusual nature. At the same time, they can be interested in medical or legal education and they may research about it. Illnesses during this time can be hard to diagnose and it is advised to take a 2nd opinion if any confusion is there. Need to be careful about health matters. Likewise, they should try their level best to avoid any conflicts and litigation. It is not a good time for relationship matters as 6th house represents loss of relationship.
Cancer Ascendant/Cancer Moon Sign – For Cancer people, Scorpio falls into their 5th house of Creativity, Education, Children and Love etc. It shows that they can go through some major break, chaos or change in matters of love life or children for various positive/negative reasons. Not a good time for planning a child but if someone is willing for child birth through alternate ways then they can go ahead. They can get involved into research oriented education and creativity. They can have a change of work environment. Good transit for education but not so good for love matters. If they start a new relation then they may have some past-life karma attached with that person.

This transit can bring a major change in their family life or wealth related matters.
Scorpio Ascendant/Scorpio Moon Sign – For Scorpio people, Scorpio falls into their 1st house of Self, Life Path and Overall Life etc. This indicates time of lots of research, introspection and investigation about his right life path.

Aquarius Ascendant or Aquarius Moon Sign –For Aquarius people, Scorpio falls into their 10th house of Career, Father, Authority and Fame etc. As 10th house is house of job setup career, this transit can make them lose their job setup career and they can be pushed to start their own work. They can have chaos or instability in their job setup. If they persist in jobs, situation can be very stressful. There can be problems related with health of father too. Their relation with father or other authority figures in life can deteriorate. At the same time, they can be inclined towards work related with research, occult and spirituality.

Thanks,
