Jupiter transit into sidereal Sagittarius (Dhanus rashi) on November 5, 2019

JUPITER TRANSIT INTO DHANUS RASHI – November 5, 2019

Dear All:

 Jupiter enters sidereal Sagittarius sign (Dhanus rashi) on  November 5, 2019(due to different in siddhanta calculations, vaakya panchangams have indicated the transit on earlier date – , which even some temples have observed as Guru peyarchi day; BUT, the transit on November 5, 2019 is more correct by using siddhanta calculations and per astronomical indications). I will comment on the Elemental status, and general auspiciousness/ challenging nature of Jupiter transit for various rashis so that those born in rashis that are under challenging Jupiter transit influences may perform appropriate remedies and brace themselves up, and these indications are applicable to everyone. 

As these results are moderated by other influences to some extent – like ashtakavarga bindus in Dhanus rashi in Jupiter’s ashtakavarga in your natal chart, and placement of other planets in your birth chart, it is best that you should consult your family astrologer or other expert astrologers to know how exactly the actual results may manifest for you specific to your birth chart.

For Mesha rashi natives (those born under Ashwini, Bharani, and Krittka 1st padam stars), Jupiter transits the auspicious 9th house from your rashi. This is an auspicious transit that favours positive relocation influences (like if you have been planning on relocating to a place for better prospects), initiation into new spiritual routines/ deekshas, long journeys, joining higher education courses, and you may enjoy increased self-confidence in all that you do. Natives of this sign who have been trying unsuccessfully for on-site assignments may get their lucky break this year. Relationship with father or other mentor figures will be smooth and their blessings/ words of wisdom will prove invaluable in boosting your prospects.

Jupiter during this transit attains copper elemental status (Thaamra Moorthi lakshana). This suggests patience and careful planning are needed to capitalize on the positive impact of this auspicious transit. If you just surf through life without major attempts this will turn out to be just a generally luck period without major breakthroughs – BUT if you invest in positive efforts and are willing to slog it out to get good outcomes, the karmic rewards are likely to be equally good.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020

Jupiter moves through the 10^th house from your rashi during this period. You need to be extra-careful regarding all professional matters during this period. This is a time when great gains as well as sudden downfall are possible – the outcomes will be dependent on how careful and efficient you are in handling the challenges placed before you during this period. Play it strictly by the rules in all that you do during this period. Since Jupiter during this phase of transit has attained Rajata Moorthy lakshana (Silver elemental status), the results are likely to have a positive tinge on the whole.

One important thing.....Saturn during the initial period of the transit, and later on – Saturn and Ketu cause Vedha to the transit influences for your sign. So, there could be blockage of good effects to a marked extent. You need to clear off obstacles from your way, and handle challenges before you can taste the sweet flavour of success in life in spite of the general transit influences being good for you.

Remedies:

No specific remedy is needed since the overall transit impact is good for your sign. BUT, you can enhance the positivity of this transit by the following measures:

a) Connecting with spiritually advanced persons and draw-in positivity in your life....this includes meditating on Saints/ evolved Spiritual Masters, visiting jeeva samadhis, trying to schedule mantra-deekshas from evolved spiritual persons, visiting places of pilgrimmage, etc.

b) Taking part in homams or activities like sponsoring deepams for temples will further enhance the good luck aspects of this transit.

For Rishabha rashi natives (those born under Krittika 2, 3,4 padams, Rohini, Mrigasira 1, and 2 padams), Jupiter transits the sensitive 8th house from your rashi. This is productive of unnecessary issues in life that could threaten loss of peace, danger of ill-health to self or close relatives, and last-minute reversals that might take success away from you. Much care is needed while interacting with members of opposite gender as unnecessary issues may crop up due to that (some natives of this sign may experience unwelcome and unsolicited advances from others at work).

Those who lose hope, faith, or patience will expose themselves to the negative planetary influences. Take care of your health and health of close relatives, and avoid unnecessary litigation/ arguments. Exercise abundant caution while driving vehicles, trekking through treacherous terrain, and while travelling through unknown places. Do not take any mandatory compliance issue (like submission of IT returns, or whatever compliance document is applicable to you) for granted during this sensitive period.

The effects could be slightly mitigated by the fact that Jupiter in its 8^th house from your rashi is triggering its own natal sign. So, there is possibility of gains through legacy settlements for some of you. Spiritually inclined natives of this sign may have some Divine Experiences involving exalted souls.

Jupiter during this transit attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status) in the period till March 30, 2020, and Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020. This attainment of good elemental statuses mitigates much of the challenging impact of this transit influence for your sign.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between 30^th March 2020 and 30^th June 2020: During this period, Jupiter moves into the 9^th house from your rashi giving temporary relief from the tough influences. Jupiter during this temporary positive phase attains Golden elemental status which augurs the positive impact. For hard-working natives of this sign, it is possible to enjoy unexpected positive outcomes like sudden gain in business activities, recognition, or good fortune to undertake spiritual journeys and get blessings of spiritually advanced persons. These are transient effects, and so you should still continue to be cautious in all activities, and avoid building up unqualified optimism/ stretching your luck too far.

REMEDIES SUGGESTED:

Recite the 36^th chapter of Sundara Kaandam of Shrimad Valmiki Ramayanam on Thursdays.

Light ghee lamp to Lord Shiva on Pradosham days, or donate incense or homam articles to temples on days of spiritual importance, praying for Divine Assistance and Protection.

Whenever possible, try to take part in collective homams - especially those in Honour of Lord Dakshinamoorthi, Lord DattatrEya, Lord Hayagreeva, Lord Narasimha, or Lord Sudarshanaa. This can be a powerful shield to your well-being.

For Mithuna rashi natives (those born in Mrigasira 3 and 4 padams, Arudra, Punarvasu 1, 2, and 3 padams), Jupiter transits the auspicious 7th house from your rashi. Wedding bells ring for eligible single natives of this sign, and those already in a wedded life will find that dynamics with spouse improves significantly. Minor differences that possibly created an unnecessary psychological wedge that reduced mental intimacy with spouse can be sorted out amicably if you approach the issues with objectivity. Others will warm up to you now and there is scope for improving your societal standing.

Since Jupiter rules the 7^th house with respect to your rashi and is in the 7^th house in transit, there is potential for gaining much by indulging in joint prayers/ spiritual exercises with your spouse – if they are also similarly inclined. Activities like going on pilgrimage, involving in couples’ meditation, mutual healing exercises (like sending positive vibes to each other telepathically to empower each other), are some of the occult experiments you can try in the company of your spouse and get good results during this period.

Overall, this is an auspicious transit for you, and reduces the impact of Ashtama sani influence for your rashi to a great extent.

Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) in the transit phase between 5^th November 2019 and 30^th March 2020. During this phase, the positive results indicated could be below average.

In the period between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020, Jupiter attains Rajatha Moorthy Lakshana (Silver elemental status) when the good effects could be more pronounced. So, do not lose heart if positive things do not seem to manifest immediately after the transit in November 2019.....Do what must be done in each situation and wait for the results to come in the second half of 2020.

At the very least, this positive Jupiter transit influences will mute the tough transit impact of Saturn for your rashi.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 8^th house from your rashi. This could be a period of temporary set-backs or challenges. Be cautious in all your activities during this period. On the positive side, this is a good period for trying to sort out pending ancestral property issues, or reviving prayers to family deities that have been discontinued in the recent years due to ignorance or practical limitations. Since Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy lakshana (Iron elemental status) during this phase, and also ashtama sani influence will be in operation simultaneously, take no unnecessary chances regarding any matter during this period.

Remedies:  During the sensitive Jupiter’s atichaaram period (March 30, 2020 to June 30, 2020 period), regular prayers to Lord Hanumaaan on Saturdays and Thursdays can help reduce the challenging planetary impact for your rashi.

Offering a small log of pure sandalwood to a temple (any temple of your choice), or offering sandalwood log to be used in homams done by advanced upaasakas can be a powerful remedy to ensure that the auspicious events indicated by Jupiter’s 7^th house transit can happen without unnecessary delays/ confusions.

For Kataka rashi natives (those born in Punarvasu 4th padam, Pushya, Aslesha),, Jupiter transits the sensitive 6th house from your rashi. Health needs to be tended to carefully, and you must avoid unnecessary arguments with anyone. Legal issues must be preferably handled by negotiations rather than with a "gladiatorial fight to the end" attitude. Avoid lending/ borrowing huge sums based on over-optimistic projections and play it safe in money matters. However, since the transit happens over Jupiter’s own sign, there could be trace positive effects – like resolving vexatious issues with kinsmen, and certain ailments that you have been ignoring carelessly may rear their head, and the subsequent treatments will fortify your health for years to come in the future....thus the seemingly tough situation may become a blessing in disguise. Of course, this requires you to attend to the situation responsibly and with alacrity.

In the period between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020,  Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper Elemental status), and in the phase between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020, it attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status). These influences  make the already tough transit of Jupiter over the 6^th house from your rashi somewhat tougher. Patience and methodical approach are needed while handling all sensitive assignments, and mistakes may prove to be costly. Watch your words and measure your steps carefully to stay out of trouble’s way.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 7^th house from your rashi. This could be a time when sudden positive developments can be there in personal life matters. Also, those whose spouses are under favourable directional/ transit influences may bring in their quota of goodluck, and the collective influence could lead to auspicious occasions in the family for some of you. The positive effects could be particularly pronounced since Jupiter during this transit attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden elemental status).

Remedies: 1) Visualize Lord Hanumaan burning Lanka with the fire on His Tail and pray that the traps that your enemies might try to set for you must prove to be their own nemesis by God’s Grace.

2) Pray before a picture depicting Lord Hanumaan holding Sanjeevani mountain if you or someone in the family becomes sick.  Alternatively, you may contemplate performance of Dhanvantari homam for relief if the situation is very critical.

3) Worshipping Lord Skanda on Shashti thithis/ Krittika days, and offering ghee lamp to any temple of your choice on Thursdays could be potent remedies to turn your obstacles into opportunities.

For Simha rashi natives (those born in Magha, Poorvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni 1st padam), Jupiter transits the auspicious 5th house from your rashi. Those of you who have been waiting desperately for conception may find that Heavens open their Benevolent Grace on you this year. This is a great year for planning your long-term investments, for getting initiation into mantra deekshas, for visiting ascetics, Holy Men and gaining their Grace, and for embarking on ambitious ventures.

Since Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) in the period between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020, it markedly enhances the good impact of this Jupiter transit.

In the period between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020, Jupiter in its transit through the 5^th house from your natal Moon sign attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status). This marks a period when the transit is good, BUT, the intensity of the positive results could be markedly reduced. You may be able to enjoy manifest good outcomes only if you take concentrated efforts along right channels and are patient and thorough in your efforts.  Impatience or carelessness could lead to less than optimum realization of good luck.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 6^th house from your rashi and attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status). This is a time when there could be sudden onset of some challenging circumstances in your life. Health should be carefully tended to during this phase. Do not raise major loans, or lend large sums without surety during this phase. Keep your temper under control. Remember that this is only a temporary phase of challenging patterns; instead of over-reacting to situations, wait for these tough influences to pass-over.

Remedies:

As Jupiter’s transit is generally good for you, no specific remedy is required; BUT, you can enhance the good effects by regular prayers and by practicing meditation/ yogic exercises or by undertaking intense austerities that will help you to tap your inner powers and manifest positive outcomes in your life.  Visit to kshetras (spiritually potent places), getting initiated into new mantras by competent spiritual persons, and signing up for advanced training courses pertaining to your field of activity all could enhance your good luck further.

During the tough atichaaram periods (when the transit is temporarily tough as indicated above), you can tone down the challenging influences by offering physical services in temples/ charitable institutions (including sweeping the premises clean, repairing roads leading to temples, helping with landscaping activities in temple gardens, repairing footpaths leading to hill-temples, organizing for lighting facility to places of spiritual trekking interest, etc.).

For kaarya siddhi (accomplishment of tasks) during the tough March 30, 2020 to June 30, 2020 period, you may consider performing santhana kaappu to your kula Devata or any deity of your choice, or offering sandalwood paste to Bhagavatas or devotees in temples.

For Kanya rashi natives (those born in Uttaraphalguni 2, 3, and 4 paadams, Hasta, and Chitra 1, 2), Jupiter transits the 4th house from natal Moon sign. This is not an auspicious transit. Since 4th house indicates homeland/ residence basically, the inauspicious effects may manifest as unsettled situations at home, possible relocation or confusion regarding one's prospects (like dilemma regarding one's roles at work place), or simply lack of domestic peace at home.

Luckily since Jupiter attains Silver elemental status during this transit, and also because Jupiter is transiting its own sign, the challenges will be markedly reduced. Natives of Kanya rashi who are running favourable dasa-bhukti effects may even enjoy marginal positive developments like sale of a property that they have been struggling to encash for quite some time in the recent past, some clarity regarding coming back to homeland if that has been in their mind for some time, etc. However, as a general rule, avoid major risks, and unnecessarily over-ambitious activities of all kinds.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 5^th house from your rashi. This could be a temporary period of relief for you. This is a good time to schedule prayer activities, or to plan your moves to salvage tough situations. Those who have interview/ competitive situations during this phase have better chance of success. Since Jupiter in transit attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status), this period does offer a ray of hope for many of you.

Remedies: a) If relationship with mother/ maternal relatives is strained, OR, if health of mother/ maternal relatives seems to be impacted, recite the mantra "Om Baalachandraaya hum maatru vatsalaaya GanapathayE namah" 32 times till situations improve.

b) Light ghee lamp with a wick made of banana fibres or lotus fibres on Thursday evenings at home and pray for family welfare.

c) Offering 6 ghee lamps to Lord Skanda temples on Thursdays or Shasti thithis can help you to enjoy good academic prospects (applicable for students of this sign appearing for major exams this year).

d) Those who suffer from disputes pertaining to landed property, or are troubled by domestic disputes that spoil peace of mind, can get relief by offering sathanakaappu to Bhoo Varaaha swaamy temples (especially to Aadi Varaaha Swamy at Tirupathi, or to Shrimushnam temple).

For Thula rashi natives (those born in Chitra 3, 4 padams, Swathi, Visakham 1, 2, and 3), Jupiter transits the 3rd house from natal Moon sign. This is an inauspicious transit - but where danger lurks ONLY if you take wrong decisions or make unethical moves. You must remember that Universe will give you chance to redeem yourself and correct your errors, but if you stick on to egoistic ways and continue with wrong choices, you may manifest your own doom. Those who are patient, and ethical by nature have nothing to fear from this transit influence except that there could be varying degrees of anxiety due to situational factors.

In the phase between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020, Jupiter attains Loha moorthy lakshana (Iron Elemental status) for your sign. Avoid sticking your neck out on matters not directly connected to you. Be straight-forward and unambiguous in your communications with others to avoid misunderstanding.

Since Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status) in the phase between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020, patience and good planning are needed to side-step avoidable issues. Anxiety element could be high - so take conscious efforts to induce calmness in your psyche (by meditation, venting out with stable-minded well-wishers, getting suggestions from spiritually evolved persons, etc.). To put matters in perspective, this phase of Jupiter transit is better for you than the transit period between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020 due to slightly improved elemental status of Jupiter in its transit!

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 4^th house from your rashi. There is no significant relief accruing due to this transit – especially since Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) during this transit through the 4^th house from your rashi. Health of elderly relatives – especially mother or mother-like relatives (including mother-in-law, mother’s sisters, or paternal aunts) may cause concern to some of you. Be extra-careful in land dealings during this period.

Remedies: Offering Punugu (civet) to Bhairava sannidhis on Ashtamis can help reduced anxiety-element and also bless you with financial resources to manage challenging situations.

Recite the mantra “Hreem Sudarshanaaya sarva klEsha naasanaaya namah” 18 times daily as a protective talisman, and help you to handle anxieties in your life with equanimity.

If there are minor issues of misunderstanding with siblings/ cousins, recite the mantra “Om Bhraatru vatsalaaya Lakshmanaagrajaaya Raamaaya namah” 36 times to maintain family unity.

Sponsoring oil for akhanda deepam (continuously lit deepam) in a Shiva temple on Shiva Raathri night or Vaikunda Ekaadasi night in a Vishnu temple, or to keep the akhandaa deepam burning during Divya naama bhajans (where devotees keep singing Divine Names/ Bhajans all through the night dancing around the lit prayer lamp – as is done during Raadha Kalyaanam/ Seetha Kalyaanam, etc.) could be a very potent remedy to light up your path this year (if you are not able to provide for the continuous burning of the deepams, you may offer 1 litre of ghee/ sesame oil – per your financial feasibility for such purposes).

For Vrischika rashi natives (those born in Visakham 4, Anuradha, and Jyeshta),Jupiter transits the 2nd house from natal Moon sign. This is considered a good transit which is auspicious for new acquisitions, resolving family issues, enjoying respect for one's words, benefits arising out of recital of auspicious mantras, and generally a positive trend in life.  Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper Elemental Status) - which is 50% auspicious.  So, careful planning and patient moves on your part are needed to enjoy the positive impact of this transit.  Auspicious events in the family that have been inexplicably delayed may finally happen this year IF the young people concerned are counselled to reduce their unrealistic expectations and cultivate healthy expectancies about life.

Remember that this transit makes it auspicious for you to gain through your words, control of mouth (implying regulation in speech and diet), by learning new slokhas/ mantras, and by spending money on auspicious charitable activities to earn karmic reward points too:)

When you perform austerities, or perform dhaan (charitable offerings) do it with a sense of detachment and with the understanding that you are just paying back some karmic debt with all these, and don’t expect immediate results.  Such matured approach and spiritual attitude will attract the blessings of noble souls that will help you to enjoy the potential good effects of this transit.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 to June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the

3^rd house from your rashi. This could be a slightly anxiety-inducing phase especially for those who are awaiting important info or planning on expanding their activities and waiting for official clearances. Health of siblings may cause concern to some natives, while less-than-ideal relationship dynamics with siblings can cause emotional pain for some natives of this sign during this phase. Thankfully, this is only a short-duration of challenging influences amidst an otherwise positive period of Jupiter transit influence for you.

REMEDIES:  Recite the mantra “Om Achyutaaya namah Anantaaya namah GOvindaaya namah” 36 times daily and light small ghee wicks (cotton wicks dipped in ghee and allowed to burn for a short time) in Honour of Lord Vishnu.

Recite the mantra “Om Raama Dhootaaya kaarya saadhakaaya asakaaya sooraaya HanumatE namah” when you face challenges to your progress – especially during the tricky atichaaram period mentioned above, or you feel that some mediation is needed to resolve conflict with powerful personages.

Try to use the postive impact of this transit by “blessing” everyone you love – let the power of your words energize them and bring them goodluck when they battle against the odds of life.

Try to make intelligent investments, OR – redirect your finances from risky investment avenues to safer channels.

For Dhanus rashi natives (those born in Moola, Poorvaashaada, Uttaraashaada 1st padam), Jupiter transits the rashi itself which goes by the technical name of "Janma Guru." This is reputed to give stressful situations in life, and situations where you need to take objective decisions to march ahead in life. Often allusion is made to "Janma Guru caused exile of Shri Raama" - and it is observed that many people do relocate to distant lands or experience some sort of adverse transfers or challenging situations under this transit influence. However, the positive slant of this transit is that we are forced to negotiate karmic patterns that we need to experience in life, and in some cases, circumstances force us to veer towards paths that will lead us to our Destiny (like how Shri Raamaa’s exile led to His Life Mission – of destroying Ravana).

Jupiter attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshanaa (Silver elemental status) in its transit phase between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020 for your sign.  This is a positive elemental influence and hence tones down the challenging impact of Janma Guru transit for your rashi.

In the phase between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020, Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) which suggests that things that threaten to destabilize you will actually turn turtle and end to your advantage if you handle them well. So, while challenges will remain the same due to Janma Guru transit, you may be able to extract positive outcomes. Those looking forward to getting onsite opportunities or those planning to emigrate to greener pastures may enjoy good luck during this phase of Jupiter transit.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020:  During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into 2^nd house from your rashi. This is a time when you may be able to extract significant advantage from others by intelligent speech. Financial luck will also be good during this short period of temporary positive influence of transit for your sign. Since Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) during this phase, the good effects could be of appreciable positive intensity.

Remedies: Visit places where siddhas/ saints have attained Jeeva Samadhi and light prayer lamp praying that they should show you the right way which will be auspicious for you.

If you are in public life, try indulging in works of public utility like installing street-lights, CCTVs in important junctions to enhance the security of neighbourhood, etc. These meritorious deeds will shield your prospects- especially where there is threat to existing positions (like falling out of favour of influential leaders resulting in danger of losing one’s position).

Don’t jump into conclusions in any matter. Be patient with everyone, accept things as they come, and then form your strategies as “reaction” to situations. Don’t exacerbate issues by speaking out of turn, or trying to aggressively push matters as such moves may fire back on you this year.

For Makara rashi natives (people born in Uttarashada 2, 3, and 4, Sravana, and Dhanishta 1, 2 padams), Jupiter transits the 12th house from rashi (Viraya Guru - Jupiter transit productive of expenses/ wastage/ losses, and possible loss of position). However, such setbacks will manifest only if you insist on egoistic persistence with your plans. Otherwise, this will just be a period when expenses might mount - but on auspicious matters. You may not be able to avoid certain wasteful journeys or frustration in efforts, but that won’t affect your prospects too much except being an inconvenience for the smooth flow of life. Do not resign from a current position in haste or on egoistic compulsions voluntarily - because such a move can lead to prolonged anxiety regarding finding an alternative placement under this tough transit influence. You must spend on essentials but avoid luxurious expenditure, and be ready with reserve cash to face exigencies in life. Health could be somewhat below par.

In the phase between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020, Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) which reduces the impact of the negative transit influence to a great extent, and many natives of this sign could have auspicious spendings -like wedding of children, or purchase of assets where free money gets locked as valuable assets!).

In the phase between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020, Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) which is a time when you must be careful in all activities, and avoid wasteful expenditure.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into your Janma rashi. Some of you may get transferred to distant places all of a sudden. Protect your professional prospects by being methodical and above-board in all professional dealings during this sensitive period. Since Jupiter during this phase of transit attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver elemental status), things will be manageable by-and-large.

Remedies:

Organizing lighting of multiple lamps in the jeeva samaadhi of a saint (like 12 lamps or 108 lamps or even 1008 lamps – if that is feasible for you) on your birth star day, and arranging a saadhu/ Braahmana Bhojana in a Saint's samaadhi or a vedic paatasaala (Braahmana here means someone who lives by vedic/ religious precepts; a person who is Brahmin by birth alone can't be considered Brahamana for this purpose!) can help reduce potential for losses and unnecessary expenditure (when money is spent on worthy charities, that will be an alibi, and help avoid losses/ wastage).

If such elaborate arrangements are not feasible for you, you may offer what you can in the form of camphor, sandalwood pieces, ghee, grains, or herbs to temples or upaasakas who organize grand homams on special occasions.

For Kumbha rashi natives (people born in Dhanishta 3, 4, Satabisha, Poorvaphadra 1, 2, 3), Jupiter transits the auspicious 11th house from rashi. This is a very positive transit indicative of gains from various quarters, support of companions/ society for your good activities, ability to relate on a friendly basis with everyone, gains through elder siblings and business activities, and your good luck will shield your children and ensure positive developments in their lives. Those who have been searching for suitable houses/ apartments to purchase but could not get positive outcome in the past will find things moving in their favour. This is a good period for those trying to cash on ancestral property matters too.

In the phase between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020, Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status). So, things could be slightly delayed before positive outcomes manifest. There could be some “near-misses” - where opportunities seem to shape up but just before the final outcomes things may give you the slip. Don’t give up in haste thinking your efforts are not yielding outcomes during this period; just keep at it till results come in your favour.

In the phase between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020, Jupiter attains Rajatha Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status). So, there is a good possibility of enjoying a high intensity of positive results due to this transit, and opportunities that came your way but could not materialize as solid positive outcomes during the period before March 30, 2020 will finally come within your grasp and yield good outcomes.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020:  During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 12^th house from your Janma rashi, and attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status). Expenses may sudden mount up during this period. Elderly relatives may need to be hospitalized due to sudden developments. Keep your wits about you, and handle things as they come. This is only a temporary phase of short duration – so don’t panic or lose heart!

Remedies: Recital of Vishnu Sahasranaamam on Saturdays, worship of Lord Hanumaan on Thursdays, and special prayers to Lord Ganesha on Chaturthi days will help you to enjoy the full benefit of the auspicious Jupiter transit for your sign, and also help you to manage the somewhat tough influences in the phase between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Lighting prayer lamps during regular temple visits, and offering special prayers invoking the Souls of ancient Saints in a prayer lamp at your pooja place (at home) on Pournami nights (Full Moon nights) will help you to make the best out of the positive impact of this Jupiter transit.

For Meena rashi (People born in Poorvabhadra – 4, Uttarabhadrapada, and Revati)

Jupiter transits the sensitive 10th house from rashi. There could be uncertainties in professional matters, possible loss of professional dignity in some way (either loss of face in some way in controversial situations, or adverse transfers from prestigious roles to insignificant operational duties), and karma will catch up with you (some setbacks/ difficult situations arising out of your own activities/ choices; positively, if you have been working hard and if the previous 9th house transit of Jupiter failed to reward you, karmic reward can come now and you may be in for pleasant surprises!). 

Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Gold Elemental Status) in the period between November 5, 2019 and March 30, 2020 - which markedly reduces the negative impact of the transit and gives potential for positive developments for those who have been working hard and conscientiously. This is a positive phase for natives of this sign who have been struggling to settle in a foreign land, but could not find good luck in the recent past.

In the period between June 30, 2020 and November 20, 2020 Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) which indicates that you may find things uphill in most matters. Take things one step at a time, and remember that even a journey of many miles is completed by taking one step at a time. Don’t look for fast moves and “get rich in a single day” ideas. Planetary influences force you to take the ladder rather than the elevator now... So, go with them and gain by that experience! Don’t try to rush things or over-play matters due to ego, as the danger of tripping and having a might fall will be high by such impulsive approaches.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into your 11^th house providing scope for sudden gains and also for enjoying satisfactory social interactions (including addition of new friends to your inner circle of confidants). Jupiter during this phase attains Copper elemental status suggesting that the good effects are only 50% and you need to exercise patience and plan meticulously to get decent outcomes.

Remedies: Recite the mantra “OM Krishnam vandE Jagat Gurum, maargam darshaya darshaya swaaha” whenever you feel uncertain about career decisions (i.e. if career matters look confusing and you are asked to make a choice – where every option has its share of pros and cons and your decision could make or mar your future, use this mantra to get clarity and right intuition regarding the best decision under the circumstances).

Recite the mantra “Om Ganaadipaaya namah sarvakaarya saadhakaaya Baalachandraaya hum” 36 times daily, and light a ghee-wick (a cotton wick dipped in ghee and allowed to burn for a short time) to side-step the tough impact of Jupiter’s transit, and turn challenges into opportunities.

If possible try to have a recital of Bhagavat Geetha organized at your place (recital of the Moola grandha in original Sanskrit form along with elucidation of the meanings by a good scholar). At the end of such a performance, show aarati to the grantha (Holy Book), and the scholar who elucidated the Holy Work, and pray for clarity and guidance in your life. If this is not possible, you may meditate on any Saint of your choice on Thursdays and light a ghee lamp in your pooja place (at home) praying for Divine Guidance to handle tricky situations in your life.

SPECIAL JUPITER TRANSIT HOMAM AT OUR RESIDENCE

Special homams connected with the transit are planned at our residence in Bangalore on November 5, 2019. Those born in  Rishabha, Kataka, Kanya, Tulam, Makaram, and Meenam rashis have tough transit influences due to this Jupiter transit and may benefit by a remedial prayer on the transit day. So, natives born in these signs may try to avail the remedial homam (either with me or with any other suitable priest whose expertise and mantraic powers you can rely upon based on your intuition), or at least do simple prayers at your own place as suggested in the remedial indications for your sign in this write-up to protect yourselves against the malefic indications of the transit.

Will be offering oblations with mantras in Honour of Lord Dakshinamoorthi, Lord Hayagreeva, Lord Narasimha, Lord Dhanvantari, Lord Dattatreya, Lord Hanuman, Sapta Rishis, and end the havan with specific mantras in Honour of Lord Devaguru Brihaspati during these homams.

At the end of the homam, I intend to do Brihaspati sthothra and Brihaspati kavacham (Shield of Jupiter) recitals.

The suggested offering for part-sponsorship to take part in that homam performance is Rs.1500(rupees one thousand five hundred only) or equivalent per person whose rashi is afflicted by this Jupiter transit (per the rashi list given above).  Of course, even those whose rashis don’t fall under the tough-transit influence category MAY OPTIONALLY be part-sponsors of the transit homam, and pray that the good effects indicated for the transit must be felt with good intensity (especially those rashis for whom the elemental status of Jupiter during this transit is not good though the general transit influences are indicated as positive). Those who are interested in participating in these for remedial purposes may write to me at: dakshinastrologer@yahoo.co.in with details of the name of the person for whom the remedial performance is desired, their nakshatra, and gothra. Please write "Jupiter transit 2019" in the subject line for my easy tagging of such mails.  Regular clients/ disciples who have participated in austerities under our guidance in the past may make the remittance in favour of our bank account as usual and keep us informed about the same. I will try to include all those who approach me with the prayer request till night of November 3, 2019 (India time) - but please try to confirm your participation as early as possible, as it makes it easier for me to update the sankalpam sheet appropriately and plan the logistics.

Please note that I won't be sending prasad/ holy ash by post due to ritual purity considerations of the holy articles.  My sankalpam on your behalf during the homam is deemed "in-absentia" participation, and the karmic benefits of the performance will accrue to you.  Sign up for participation as a part-sponsor in the homams only if the above condition is acceptable to you.

May Divine Grace bless us all.

Best regards,

Blessed be.
