Jupiter begins its retrogradation on 9 Oct 2024 at 27-8 deg Mrigashira-Taurus, ingresses Rohini-Taurus on 28 Nov 2024, becomes Direct on 4 Feb 2025, ingresses Mrigashira-Taurus on 11 Apr 2025, returns to its starting point on             1 May 2025, and ingresses  Gemini on 15 May 2025.

 

Jupiter appears stationary for five days before starting Retrograde between 3-9 Oct 2024 and Direct motion between 25 Apr 2025 – 1 May 2025.  One should be careful at this time since stationary Jupiter might spark ‘major life changes’.   Major planetary alignments, like Jupiter and Saturn, are linked to highly charged ‘Karmic’ events.

 

Jupiter’s Role at Planet Level

Jupiter symbolises growth, adventure, healing, riches, fortune, higher education, religion, Guru, faith,   foreign travel, big business, money,    law and Moksha (liberation). Its retrograde motion may affect these items. Personal circumstances may affect development and well-being, making it difficult to determine the right path. Its retrogradation helps one concentrate and make the next right action. One may feel effects of Karmic consequences especially that generated in last few months.  One must look inside for guidance

 

Jupiter at sign (Taurus) Level

Retrograde Jupiter is in  second house of natural zodiac sign Taurus that is  connected to Resources, Values, Finance, Savings, Speech, Family, Food, and    even  some death  like scenario may be on the surface. It challenges one to consider if sensuous  and material comforts are sufficient.

 

Jupiter at Nakshatras Levels

People mindsets may get altered impacting their  emotional and intelligence levels. The individual may exhibit a peak impulsive nature and a significant lack of decision-making abilities.  Prioritising key problems may lead to needless criticism.  A rise in deceit and manipulation could result from the exploitation of religious and spiritual ideas for monetary benefit.

 

Jupiter as ‘Jiva karaka’ (Life force) Level

Jupiter protects our planet’s habitability and its retrograde motion might trigger disastrous occurrences. One must remain careful during this period.

 

Solar  Eclipse of 29 Mar 2025:  Please note the Rare event will occur on the same day, viz.,  Chaitra Amavasya (Hindi New Year), Solar Eclipse in Pisces, and  Saturn ingression in Pisces sign and that too close to Rahu causing ‘Curse’ like scenario.  Jupiter’s role as ‘Jiva Karaka’ will be significantly burdened by its numerous planets in the 11th house, with its full impact expected in August 2025.
