Jupiter Transit in Jyeshtha

Jyeshtha means the eldest, and Indra, king of the gods, is its deity. The symbol is an earring or a royal umbrella. It lies at the end of Scorpio, Mars's sign, where Jupiter has a friend, and Mercury, Jupiter's enemy, rules the nakshatra. The sign is kind and the lord contrary.

A stay runs about four to five months, and a retrograde often divides it into more than one visit. Jyeshtha gives seniority. A person is made responsible for elders, siblings or an organisation, and Jupiter brings the wisdom to carry it. Indra's umbrella shelters those in one's care.

Mercury's rule brings cleverness into faith. Wealth comes by strategy, and a sharp student questions a teacher's authority. Jupiter expands, and in Jyeshtha it can expand the sense of being the most senior and the most right.

Libra, Cancer, Taurus, Pisces and Capricorn Moons and lagnas receive Jupiter in Phaladeepika's favourable houses. Scorpio Moons carry it in the first and are given more than they asked for. Sagittarius Moons have it in the twelfth, Gemini in the sixth and Aries in the eighth, and each should guard health and expense.

Jupiter in Jyeshtha shows a person whom they hold the umbrella for, and seeing that is the beginning of humility.

Honour Indra by protecting someone weaker than yourself without being asked. Om Brihaspataye Namah on Thursday and the yellow cloth, turmeric or gram that Parashara gives are the Guru remedies. Openly honour an elder sibling or senior colleague.
