Jupiter's transit into Scorpio on October 11, 2018.

Jupiter’s transit in the Watery zodiac sign “Scorpio” on 11^th October 2018.

This significant celestial development is going to trigger several important astrological changes in the lives of people. Everyone is likely to be impacted by this astrological transition, however it depends on native’s Ascendant & Moon Sign to which s(he) belongs. The expansive and lucky Planet Jupiter is changing its zodiac sign on October 11, 2018 at around 15:34 Hours (Mumbai timing) from Libra zodiac sign (Tula Rashi) into Scorpio Zodiac Sign (Vrishchik Rashi) after about 13 months. Normally, Jupiter stays in one Zodiacal sign for about 13 months. During its stay in different signs, it sometimes covers the distance of the entire zodiac sign (of 30 degrees) in few months and enters the immediate next sign and then retrogrades back and becomes straight (ends its retro motion) before moving to the next zodiac sign. For e.g. during the current Scorpio transit, Jupiter is completing its entire journey of Scorpio (30 degrees) and moving further into its own fire sign Sagittarius on March 28, 2019 before becoming retrograde on April 10, 2019 and moving back into Scorpio on April 24, 2019. It becomes direct in Scorpio on August 11, 2019 and stays there till November 5, 2019 before transiting again into its own dual sign, Sagittarius. Hence, we observe that it stays in a particular sign for approximate 13 months. Its Vimshottri Mahadasha is of 16 years out of the total 120 years.

Jupiter rules the North-East sector (Ishaan). It rules pure gold, bullion, gold ornaments, jewellery, precious stones, and often gains, good profits in dealing with these items.

Jupiter is in charge of memory, wisdom, experience, capacity for accountability for money and actions linked thereto. It gives maturity in thought and action, understanding of common law, wide knowledge of business management, shrewdness in thought and talk.

Jupiter is deemed to be the guru of the whole universe. It aspects the fifth and ninth houses from its position. Unfortunately, its good effect gets marred by conjunction with Sun, Mars, Saturn or Rahu or their direct aspect by any of them on it.  

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar system. Jupiter is masculine, fiery, positive, optimistic, liberal, cheerful, profitable and decent by character. It rules over the zodiac signs of Sagittarius and Pisces of which the first sign is considered a rather hard one, while the other sign is considered a soft one.

Disease wise, Jupiter can cause jaundice, diabetes, asthma, kidney trouble, liver ailment, obese related.  

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is very huge planet and the first from the Sun without solid ground. It is made of hydrogen and helium like a star. It could even have been a star if it had had just a bit more mass. Now it is cooling down. But even now Jupiter gives off 2.5 times more heat than it receives from the Sun. In occult writings Jupiter sometimes is called 'the little sun'.

Jupiter can hold about 1300 Earths. Jupiter turns very quickly on its axle and a Jupiter day lasts for only 8 hours. Its atmosphere is thousands of miles thick and it has strangely formed cloud patterns of different colours.

Scorpio belongs to the sign of Water. The planet Mars rules the zodiac sign Scorpio, Being Water sign, natives born under the Scorpio sign are emotional people and can be extremely shallow or deep as is with water.  Water being fluid, so is the emotion of these natives, which varies from one extreme to the other.

Scorpio natives are mysterious and secretive. They hold many a secret in their heart and like the ocean can only show them when desired. They are compassionate, egoist, good leaders and vengeful by nature. Jupiter transiting in this zodiac sign will throw many unknown secrets, so watch out in the time to come.

Let me write on the impact of Scorpio transit on various Ascendants (Lagans). I am starting with Capricorn Ascendant (Makar Rashi). Please note that since I am going to analyse the impact of the transit from Moon based astrology, readers should not get confused with the Sun based calculation. Sun based calculation is usually read in the newspaper for e.g. Aries (22^nd  March to 20^th April), Taurus (21^st April to 21^st May) so on and so forth. Moon based is different. This is the same system where the local Pandits draws your Birth Chart/Horoscope after your birth.
