Jupiter Transit in Pisces, 2022-23

Thankfully, we are moving towards Jupiter’s next transit in Pisces on 13^th April, 2022. I said thankfully because last 2 transits of Jupiter in Capricorn and Aquarius have been forgettable ones. Jupiter was losing dignity in both signs and we have gone through this major chaos in last 2 years in our lives. Jupiter’s transit in Pisces can be a great relief for all of us as Jupiter will now again gain its dignity in own sign. This transit is happening along with transits of Nodes and Saturn. Hence, we can say that 2022 is year of some major transit. Jupiter coming in own sign and gaining dignity is a real welcome change for all of us.  This article is my take or understanding of this transit. At the outset, I may repeat that events in our life happen as per collective impact of all planets. One planet transiting in any sign neither going to make you King nor Beggar, but this one planet’s transit will certainly contribute its mite into the collective impact. Hence, it is important to know what Jupiter’s contribution in the whole. 

Also, Jupiter is the biggest and most expansive planet among all. Its transits last for about 13 months. This is a considerably long time in comparison to other transits we have of Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, & Venus. So, if a big planet like Jupiter is transiting in one sign for about one year, it is going to make some impact to Human Life. This article is little effort to get an idea of impact. 

So, let’s 1st look at all the important factors to understand this transit – 

Jupiter’s current transit – Somehow my approach in Astrology is about experience. So, if a book says something about a planetary position but person having that planetary position didn’t experience what book says then after doing in-depth analysis and seeing all possible reasons, I will prefer to be on the side of person rather than Book as what he is saying is about his own experience. We can’t deny that. So, before looking into what Jupiter in Pisces will do, it is important to see what Jupiter is currently doing in Aquarius? So, from April, 2021 to April, 2022, Jupiter is in Aquarius. Jupiter is in Aquarius sign ruled by Saturn. Understand that Jupiter always plays the role of “saving grace” for all of us. As Jupiter is weak in transit from last 2 years, these 2 years proved to be frustrating years. People think that they didn’t get results as per their efforts. We lived a frustrating life in last 2 years which is very much reflected by weak Jupiter in transit. These transits made us put extra efforts in matters of things related with house where Jupiter was transiting and gave us very limited results.

As Jupiter’s transit in Capricorn/Aquarius gave its results, we can say that transit of Jupiter in Pisces would also bring its results. Hence, it is necessary to check what we can expect with this transit of Jupiter in Pisces.

Jupiter - Jupiter is the most benefic planet and it represents all the auspicious things like Knowledge, Wisdom, Law, Guru, Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy, Literature, Expansion of Things and Elderly People. For a girl, Jupiter also represents Husband.

Pisces - As Pisces is the 12th sign of zodiac belt, it represents the same energy and things which are represented by 12th house such as Isolated Places, Spirituality, Imagination, Other Dimension or Other World etc. Besides these things, it also represents your Hidden Talents, Ability to work in background, Spiritual Self etc. Pisces is consisted of last 2 and half nakshatra, i.e. Purva-Bhadrapada, Uttara-Bhadrapada & Revati. Pisces' lord is Jupiter.

Transit Period – Jupiter will be in Pisces from 13^th Apr, 2022 to 22^nd April, 2023. 

Retrograde Period - From 29^th July, 2022 to 24^th Nov, 2022, Jupiter will retrograde in Pisces sign only.  This means that Jupiter will be closer to Earth during this time. So, the results stated hereafter will be felt with greater intensity during this time. As Jupiter represents belief systems, this is also the time when we will reflect back at our belief system, teachings or Guru.

Meaning of Jupiter in Pisces – Wherever Jupiter goes, it brings the knowledge and wisdom to that sign/house. It makes us learn things related to that sign/house. So, when Jupiter is in Pisces, we can see following results –

• Pisces shows us the real difference between Religion and Spirituality. Pisces shows us the difference between reading Ramayan & Mahabharat and ultimately leaving everything, even God, to reach to nothing-ness in life. Jupiter in Pisces doesn't want to deal with beliefs and philosophies. It makes us realize the futility of every religion. Even reading/hearing scriptures and different type of God's words don't give him peace. This person finds peace in meditation, in leaving the material world behind. These are the people who are seekers and not believers.
• A Buddha in making. I can write as much as I like but this position only reminds me of a quotation from Osho - "One, who is realized in silence, can never be explained in words".
• As Jupiter represents expansion, Jupiter in Pisces transit can make people move and gravitate towards Spirituality, Meditation and other Spiritual Pursuits. We can see many people trying to find peace in spiritual matters.
• People will gain knowledge about spiritual matters. They will seek or find a spiritual Guru.
• Pisces is also sign of imagination and creativity. People can be highly imaginative and creative during this transit. Their imagination and creativity can expand. So, we can say that this is a good transit for anyone in creative field or in someone wants to be a fiction writer.
• At the same time, it means that Jupiter in Pisces transit can make someone highly imaginative and people can be living in dream world. They can be in dreamy world. It is like wishful thinking type of stuff.
• This is drawback of Pisces sign. Wherever Pisces falls in our chart, we can be highly imaginative, unrealistic and impractical in that area of life. Transiting Jupiter can further expand that impractical approach.
• Because at the end of the day, God and Spirituality are our imagination only. We have no idea who is God and Divine but we talk about it. So, Jupiter in Pisces transit can expand this imaginative approach.
• All enlightened ones say that God is where we reach after leaving materialism and spirituality both. Just like Materialism is a trick to keep mind engaged, Spirituality is another trick to keep mind engaged. When a Man exhausts himself completely from material and spiritual sides both, then he realizes the real source within.
• In other dimensions, this transit can be better in matters of other things represented by Jupiter, i.e. knowledge, wealth, family life and children etc as Jupiter is transiting through own sign.
• Here we can say that concept on Jeeva Karaka and Ajeeva Karaka - https://www.astrosaxena.com/jkak will be like a guide for us as to what we can expect and what we cannot expect in results. It is clear that Jeeva Karaka results of Jupiter will be limited whereas Ajeeva Karaka results of Jupiter will still be available for us.
• Overall, this transit looks like a better one as Jupiter is re-gaining its dignity. People can have benefits in majority of areas represented by Jupiter but we need to avoid imaginative or impractical approach. Regular Meditation can help people gain the awareness required to avoid imaginative approach.  

Jupiter’s Aspects – We will only cover the house Jupiter will transit as per the Ascendant as the biggest impact will be there. But we need to be careful about Jupiter’s Aspect during this transit. Jupiter will aspect 5th house, 7th house and 9th house from its house of transit and impact those houses. So, we need to keep an eye on where it is aspecting from Pisces in your chart. We won’t be able to cover it here else this article would never end then but I can tell you in brief that Jupiter’s 5th house aspect is aspect of Education. It means wherever Jupiter aspects 5th from its place in your chart, you treat that house as where you want to learn more about things related to that house. 7th house aspect is about sharing of knowledge. Here, Jupiter finds the people with whom it can share the knowledge of the house it is transiting. 9th house aspect is of higher education. So, wherever Jupiter aspects at 9th house from its transit, you want to gain higher education related to that house or want to follow things related to that house as your religion. From Jupiter in Pisces, it will aspect Cancer, Virgo and Scorpio signs. Hence, we need to see houses where these signs fall into our charts and try to interpret them.

Dashas – As always, this transit of Jupiter will be more influential on those people who are going through Jupiter dashas. It doesn’t mean that for others it won’t do anything. About 13 months time is long enough time to give some results to everyone. 

Houses Ruled – Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces signs. So, Jupiter will take the energy of those houses where these two signs fall in your chart and will express in through the house where it is transiting in Pisces sign.

Jupiter Return – This transit will also be important for those who are born with Jupiter in Pisces, regardless of running dasha. This will be a Jupiter Return for them which happen once in 12 years. All the results of karaka & house ruler things of Jupiter, as discussed in this article, will come to the fore during this transit of Jupiter Return - https://www.astrosaxena.com/jupret. Likewise, Jupiter transiting over Sun, Moon and Ascendant are equally important transits.

Jupiter in Birth Chart - Jupiter's position and dignity in Birth Chart will have an important role as dasha of Jupiter in giving the results of Jupiter only as per its dignity in birth chart. So, please keep that position and dignity in mind. 

Nakshatra – As Jupiter crosses in to Pisces, it will be transiting over Purva-Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati Nakshatra. Jupiter passing over each nakshatra will give us knowledge and wisdom related to things of that nakshatra. It will also give us results of the house where nakshatra lords are placed in birth chart. It will expand the results of the nakshatras. Like, Jupiter transiting over Jupiter transiting over Purva-Bhadrapada can bring inclination towards initiating spiritual and mystical pursuits. Jupiter transiting over Uttara-Bhadrapada can bring inclination towards intensely following spiritual and mystical pursuits. Jupiter transiting over Revati can bring results of wealth, creativity and spirituality. It can also bring results of Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury as nakshatra rulers respectively, as per their positions in birth chart.

Other Planets in Pisces – Likewise, if a person has planet/planets in Pisces in birth chart then Jupiter transiting over that planet/planets will expand the traits and characteristics of planet/planets. Now, the exact result depends on the planet, its dignity and conjunction/aspects on it. So, we can’t cover everything here. Also, during the year, other planets like Sun, Moon, Mercury & Venus will transit through Pisces and will conjunct transiting Jupiter. So, that will also have its impact on Jupiter’s results here.

Other transits and joint impact – Last but certainly not the least, we need to keep an eye on other planetary transits and joint impacts being made with Jupiter in Pisces. Most importantly, Jupter-Saturn from their respective transiting positions will aspect water signs at different times during next one year. So, whichever houses have Water Signs in chart, those houses will hold some importance till April, 2023. 

At right time, we will cover these joint impacts through separate articles and posts.

Now, the main course. 

This article won’t only tell how Jupiter will impact for all Ascendant and Moon Sign people, but it will also show how Jupiter’s role is switching for each ascendant sign and therefore why making a generalise opinion on a planet or sign may not be a prudent thing to do? As I said, this transit is going to be more fruitful for those people going through Jupiter Mahadasha but it doesn’t mean that it will have no impact on others. We all go through Antardashas and Pratyantar dashas of all the planets throughout year, so this transit will show its impact in those time periods. Also, for slow moving planets like Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu and Saturn, we don’t have to depend on Dashas. Because of their slow movement, they always impact our life in given time. 

Please see results of this transit from Ascendant and Moon Sign both. Predictions from Ascendant Sign will show what will actually happen and predictions from Moon Sign will show what our mind desires and how mind will react to such events. Another thing is that when Ascendant and Moon sign both point towards one event that event has higher possibility to happen. 

So, let’s begin – 

Aries Ascendant or Aries Moon Sign – For Aries people, Jupiter rules over 9th house (Sagittarius) of religion, higher learnings and 12th house (Pisces) of Spirituality, Charity and Hidden Secrets. So for Aries people, Jupiter is more a knowledge and travel based planet. Now, Jupiter will be transiting in 12th house of Foreign Lands, Spirituality, Losses and Closures. Whenever any major planet transits 12th house, it is closing time. So, understand like this. As planets move each house of chart during different transits, they give you some results but they also block/delay some results of each house. Then when they go into 12th house, it releases those results which can be given. Balance sheet tallies and all pending matters get closed, so that when they enter into Ascendant during next transit, a new beginning can be made. So, this transit will see them working on all pending matters. Those which are supposed to be accomplished, will give results. Those which are not supposed to work-out will be considered as closed. Additionally, they will be highly interested in Spirituality. They will travel or relocate to Foreign Lands. They may travel to foreign lands for education or spirituality. At the same time, they need to take care of their health and wealth both as it is also house of hospitals and expenses. Good transit for Spiritual Evolution as 12^th house and Pisces represent same energy.

Gains can come through elder siblings, social networking circles and business benefits. Best gains are coming from business as 11th house also relate with Entrepreneurship. Every change will bring more gains to them. 11th house also relates with Large Organizations. So, gains can come through MNCs too. They can also relocate to a new place as 11^th house is 8^th from 4^th house, i.e. change in home. This can also be time of promotions or better opportunities in jobs. Additional knowledge gain can help person in gaining more at work. This also shows someone can serve people through his knowledge, religion, spirituality and philosophy.

Person will learn a lot from his Teachers, various Religions and Philosophies. Education taken during this time will help him grow his career and income during Jupiter’s next transit in Aries. At the same time, 9^th house is 12^th from 10^th house. So, it is also a house of loss of career and authority. It shows some stress or sense of loss around authority figures at work including some problems with father at home. Not a good time for career in job setup and they may have some continuous challenges there. They can get into relationship with someone of different ethnicity and culture. A sudden event can also bring them their Guru. It is a good transit for gaining and sharing knowledge. They should be careful and not to get into any conflicts in matters of beliefs.
