This blog is the first of our three-part series exploring everything you need to know about Jupiter in Aries in 2023.

Planet Jupiter – Understanding the Basics

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System. However, scientific standpoint aside, in astrology, Jupiter is coined as the planet of expansion, growth, and abundance.

Jupiter is the most benefic planet and is alternatively known as Dev Guru or Brihaspati. The planet is known for its expansive energy and is responsible for causing progression and growth in one’s life depending on the house it transits. It is associated with wisdom, spirituality, higher learning, optimism, travel, marriage, childbirth, and adventure.

Jupiter has three aspects (drishti), which are the 5th, 7th, and 9th aspect, respectively. It gives maximum benefits to the native, causing a proliferation in their lives, depending on which house it is aspecting.

Additionally, Jupiter is a planet of positivity, optimism, success, fertility, and happiness. Jupiter's influence in an individual's chart may be benefic or malefic, depending on the Ascendant (lagna) or Moon (Chandra rashi) sign the person is born with. In Kaal Purush Kundali (KPC), the zodiac signs ruled by Jupiter are Sagittarius and Pisces and the houses governed are the ninth and twelfth house respectively.

However, with the positive traits come a few downsides too. Jupiter’s energy can sometimes result in the expression of overconfidence, overeating, laziness, and inaction. Hence, balancing its influence with a realistic assessment of available resources in life is crucial, especially when Jupiter is in transit or aspecting other planets.

Hence, taking the guidance of a Vedic astrologer can always be considered as a good decision while making important decisions or embracing the changes this transit would bring for you. Be it job change, promotion, buying a new property or spending huge amounts on house renovations, getting into a relationship or childbirth.

Let’s understand more about the Aries Sign

Aries is a cardinal sign that indicates quickness and movement. This sign is typically associated with new beginnings, self-discovery, and courage.

This is the first sign in the zodiac, representing the beginning of the cycle. It is also a fire sign owned by Mars and a Mooltrikona rashi of Mars, the mangal graha.

Aries sign is passionate, confident, aggressive, energetic, and often impulsive. Aries is all about leading by action. It depicts a go-getter personality, masculine energy, and great leadership skills. This is also one of the reasons why the Sun gets exalted in Aries.

If I had to explain Aries energy in two words, they are – Bold and Confident. Aries people are not afraid to take that leap of faith and pursue their goals with enthusiasm.

Regarding a few downsides, Aries energy can sometimes be too impulsive and aggressive; hence finding that balance with patience and diplomacy is quintessential.

Understanding Jupiter in Aries:

Now that we have gained a brief overview of the planetary giant Jupiter and the fiery zodiac sign of Aries, let us delve deeper into the upcoming Jupiter in Aries transit in 2023.

Jupiter will enter Aries on April 22, 2023, at 05:15 AM (IST) and remain there until May 01, 2024.

As I mentioned, Aries is ruled by Mars, and the best part is that Jupiter and Mars are friendly. Hence, the transit of Jupiter in Aries is a pretty positive one for most of us.

The drishtis’ (aspects) of Jupiter are considered beneficial and invite abundance and growth. So, Jupiter in Aries will be aspecting** the following signs:

• 5th Aspect – Leo (Simha rashi)

  Throughout the transit, Leo is aspected by Saturn as welll. Expect a lot of change, in the areas where Leo rules in your natal chart.

  Eg : In KPC (kall purush kundali) i.e. for Aries moon or ascendant sign, Leo rules the 5th house - house of creativity, pleasure, romance, child, studies etc….predominently in these areas an individual can expect a lot of changes.

• 7th Aspect – Libra (Tula rashi)
• 9th Aspect – Sagittarius (Dhanu rashi - Mooltrikona sign of Jupiter)

Note : Kindly read more about it in second part of blog to understand the transit at length.

The transit of Jupiter in Aries will mark the beginning of a new twelve year cycle of Jupiter. So, you will most likely kickstart new projects and experience fresh beginnings, depending on the dasha one is undergoing and the influence of transit too.

However, the impact of Jupiter’s transit in Aries also relies on Mars and its transit throughout the year.

Expect a huge rise in heat as Jupiter enters the fiery sign of Aries and Rahu has been there. Stay hydrated and avoid direct exposure towards Sunlight as much as possible.

Jupiter Nakshatra Transit 2023:

Besides the transits and dates mentioned above, Jupiter is also set to be transiting three nakshatras in Aries, these include:

1. Ashwini – 4 charans (padas)

Jupiter in Ashwini Nakshatra – April 22, 2023.

Jupiter in Ashwini in Retrograde motion – November 27, 2023.

2. Bharani – 4 charans (padas)

Jupiter in Bharani Nakshatra – June 21, 2023.

Jupiter will enter Bharani (post-December 31, 2023) –Post retrograde, on February 03, 2024.

3. Krittika – 1 charan (pada)

Jupiter will enter Krittika (post-December 31, 2023) – on April 17, 2024.

Understanding these dates and marking your calendar for what’s to come is a great way to prepare yourself for the influence these cosmic events will bring in the future.

Jupiter Asta (Combust) and Gandanta

Before I give you more insights about the Jupiter Asta and Gandanta dates, let me familiarize you with the terminologies first.

What is Asta? – Whenever a planet is very close to the Sun, it loses its power for some time. That’s when the planet is asta or combust. It is likely to give us low or no results for some time.

What is Gandanta? – It is a point where a planet moves from water to fire sign. During this transit from water to heat, It’s considered to be a karmic knot hence people are bound to experience few challenges in life.

With that out of the way, let me walk you through the dates of Asta and Gandanta of Jupiter in 2023.

• Jupiter is Asta from April 01, 2023, and will remain Asta until April 29, 2023.
• Jupiter is Gandanta from April 18, 2023, and will remain Gandanta until April 27, 2023.

**Avoid auspicious events during this period of Jupiter asth and gandanta.

Jupiter Stationary and Retrograde

Following gaining some insights on the events of Asth and Gandanta of Jupiter, the next point we must tackle is understanding the dates when Jupiter will remain stationary and retrograde.

• Jupiter will retrograde on September 04, 2023, at 19:39 (IST) at 21 degrees.
• Before it turns retrograde, it will remain stationary from September 01 to September 08, 2023, and is set to turn direct on December 31, 2023, at 08:09 (IST).

Note: We will be covering this movement of Jupiter in a detailed blog a few weeks before the actual phenomenon, so keep your eyes peeled for that in the future.

Understanding Guru Chandala Yoga - Read with Caution!

In a previously published article, we discussed an overview of the cosmic transits and impacts set to hit in 2023. You can read the blog here.

Now let us understand what exactly is Guru Chandala Yoga.

Guru Chandala Yoga is a challenging astrological combination that occurs when Jupiter is in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu. It may create confusion, setbacks, and obstacles in a person's life.

The precise period of Guru Chandal Yoga will begin on May 20, 2023, when Jupiter enters Ashwini pada 3, and the two planets Jupiter (Guru) & Rahu (north node of the moon) will be in tight conjunction until June 05, 2023.

This is not a favorable period for anyone and can lead to confusion, falling prey to false commitments, delusions, following wrong advice, leaving the path of dharma, etc.

Not just personal conflicts, but on the Community front, this period will lead to a rise in social conflicts, including risks of riots, corruption, deception, inflation, and unethical practices among people.

Although this isn't an auspicious period, the impact will vary depending on the position and influence of Jupiter and Rahu in the native’s chart.

There is certainly a ray of hope here; Saturn is aspecting the Aries sign throughout this transit, which will exponentially dampen the malefic impact of the Guru Chandal Yoga.

Furthermore, Rahu will transit into Pisces on October 30, 2023, and that’s when people will start experiencing the positive impact of this transit in their lives as Jupiter and Rahu will be in different signs and away from each other.

When was the last Guru Chandal Yoga?

The toxic combination of Jupiter and Rahu, resulting in the damaging Guru Chandal Yoga, last occurred in Leo (Simha) Rashi during the year 2015 - 2016.

If you want to get a premonition of how things would fair in 2023’s Guru Chandal yoga, you can revisit 2015-2016 and commemorate how things fared for you during that period.

*However, kindly remember that the events that happened back then might not exactly happen now. The influence and outcomes heavily rely on the overall planetary transits and the dasha-mahadasha of an individual.
