Jupiter transits are one year long and impact all levels of wisdom, knowledge, comfort and support. He leads you to your dharmic path and supports the nourishment gained along the way. Positive effects of Jupiter bring sattvic guidance and understanding. The guru brings learning through wisdom, awareness and expansion of consciousness. As the ultimate teacher- for better or worse- he provides some of the most poignant life lessons.
Challenges with Jupiter include lack of support, knowledge, and dharma. Everyone can benefit from the helpful and supportive resources that Jupiter provides. Without his support, challenges and struggles increase- which often bring tragedy, lack or resources and chaos.
As the planet of expansion, satwa (purity) and akasha (space), Jupiter brings us knowledge and wisdom as well as new awareness. The Sanskrit name for Jupiter is guru (teacher), expressing the support and nourishment he provides. As Jupiter moves around the zodiac, he sparks learning and growth through wisdom, guidance, support and resources. Whatever he touches, he expands- which may feel helpful or uncomfortable at times.
When Jupiter is not well placed in your Jyotish chart, he will bring lack of support, knowledge, and dharma. When Jupiter is not strong in the chart, there may be little to no support offered, few resources or missed opportunities. Everyone needs the benefits and supportive resources that Jupiter provides. However, without his nourishment, challenges and struggles increase- which often bring tragedy, malnourishment, lack of dharmic support, missed opportunities, and adharma.
As the guru, he represents teachers of all sorts- including coaches, healers, guides, mentors, therapists, wisdom keepers and shaman. Receiving the blessings of Jupiter requires that you are receptive to the nourishment and wisdom he offers you. Negative influences upon Jupiter in the Jyotish chart, will create challenging experiences with teachers and a resistance to knowledge and wisdom. Whereas positive influences upon Jupiter in the Jyotish chart will offer nourishing and supportive experiences with teachers, wisdom and guides. This has an important influence on your dharmic path and soul purpose.
If Jupiter is a natural benefic or positive planet in your chart, this transit will bring gains, expansion and support in the areas of communication, creativity, self expression, expressive arts, courage, younger siblings, and body parts hands, arms and shoulders.
However, If Jupiter is challenging in your Jyotish chart, expect difficulties in these areas of your life to surface. You may not be able to hear the wisdom arriving or you may stay stuck in old patterns and behaviors that increase your struggles.
Mercury is the natural ruler of Gemini and he will determine the effects of this transit on multiple levels. His movement around the zodiac will influence how well Jupiter is able to express himself in the sign of communication and self expression.
Gemini is an air sign that expresses the energy of three. It represents the merging of energies, and the new, third energy that is created as a result. The third house of courage and expressive arts is his domain. Metaphorically, Gemini connects to the energy of lovers coming together, creating a “third energy” out of their unification. From an artistic perspective, Gemini can represent the artist and their medium, plus the arrival of a “third” energy- or that which is created from the transcendent. The creative energy of Gemini is unstoppable, changeable and always moving. In this cycle of Jupiter in Gemini, merge and connect with new ideas and people, in order to deepen your nourishment, increase wealth and find new resources.
How can you extend and expand your reach by joining forces with others?
What creative energy increases when you co-create, connect, and collaborate?
What new steps are you taking to create something new and expand your self expression?
Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini. As a planet that can swing towards air and earth, this rajasic planet is full of movement, energy, and quickness. He rules over the mental body, mind, memory, thoughts, and nervous system. His skills benefit business, commerce, creativity, communication, trade, speaking, writing, finances, expressive arts, teaching, sharing knowledge and wisdom, research, organization, critical thinking skills, plants, forests, and all green things. He loves to socialize, connect, co-create, and is generally friendly to the other planets. He loves to learn and anyone ruled by Mercury will never stop studying!
Jupiter expands whatever he comes into contact with. As he navigates Gemini, he will grow and expand all things Mercury! Expect proliferation of all things green and mercurial!
Look to your Jyotish chart and notice where Gemini lives. This body part and area of life is where you can expect expansion with creativity, self expression, business, and the expressive arts.

Throughout this transit, Jupiter will move through three nakshatras- Mrigashirsha, Ardra, and Punarvasu. The nakshatras will greatly impact the effects of this transit.
Jupiter continues to transit Mrigashirsha from May 14th until June 13th, 2025: Continue to move towards the nourishment. What feels nourishing? What do you need to move away from? Notice where you are feeling malnourished and do something about it. Gather the resources, guidance and wisdom you need in order to transform lack into soul contentment.

Jupiter in Ardra Nakshatra June 13th until August 12th, 2025: Learn, grow, and transform through grief and grief work. You are purging undigested emotion so use it to create something new. As you grieve, you will make space. What are you making space for? What are you creating? How will you use this new embodied space? Your lack of grief work will cause challenges with destruction, increased pain, and struggle. Don’t resist your emotions or you will not get the benefits of this cycle. A powerful time of change is taking place. Ride the waves.
Jupiter in Punarvasu Nakshatra August 12th to June 18th 2026: Jupiter will complete his transit through Gemini and the short lived Cancer transit through Punarvasu nakshatra. This constellation brings resources and guidance as well as a sense of universality. The light and wisdom within is returning.
