Transit of Jupiter in Krittika Nakshatra, 2024.

After completing transit in Bharani, Jupiter is about to enter in the nakshatra of Krittika. This article is about understanding the kind of results we can expect with Jupiter in Krittika transit.

Before that, let’s first look at the results we experienced in Jupiter in Bharani transit –

As we know that Bharani is nakshatra of hidden matters and death & rebirth as its deities are Mother Goddess Kali and Lord Yama, we have seen that during Jupiter transit in Bharani, we have seen the inception of couple of Wars at Global Level which led to many transformational events worldwide and they are continuing. Jupiter represents expansion and Bharani is the hidden side of life. Hence, people’s interest in occult/hidden matters has seen a rise during this time. Other usual results of rise in sexual desires or child birth were always there.

So, we can see that we got results of Jupiter in Bharani transit. Now, it becomes more meaningful that we look at Jupiter’s Transit in Krittika Nakshatra and how it can impact our lives? As it is only 2 months long transit, it is better to go through this article for learning purposes rather than to use it for predicting events.
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.

Krittika - It is nakshatra of criticism, cutting things, surgeries and bloodshed. Also, it is nakshatra of child care, secrecy, research, protection and foster parenting etc. It spreads from Aries to Taurus. It is ruled by Sun.

Aries –First 3.20 degrees of Krittika Nakshatra are placed in Aries. So, Aries sign becomes important here. Aries is the 1st sign of zodiac belt, so it represents the things and energy of 1st house of horoscope like Self, Personality etc. Besides that, Aries is the sign of our individuality, our aggression, our actions, our competitive ability etc. Aries is ruled by Mars and it is consisted of 2 and half Nakshatras named Ashwini, Bharani and Krittika.

We have already covered Jupiter in Aries transit results here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/JupTrAries23. As Aries and Krittika Nature is very similar, this article can be a further guidance to understand results of Jupiter in Krittika results

Taurus - As Krittika falls in first 10 degrees of Taurus sign, Taurus sign and its representations are also important. Taurus is the 2nd sign of zodiac belt, so it represents many things related with 2nd house of horoscope like, Hoarded Wealth, Assets, Savings, Finances, Luxuries and Liquid Money. All in all a sign related with luxuries and all the conveniences of life. Taurus is consisted of 2 and half Nakshatras, i.e. Krittika, Rohini and Mrigshira. Taurus' lord is Venus.

Now, here are my interpretations of Jupiter in Krittika Nakshatra (from 17th April, 2024 to 12th June, 2024) –

During this transit, a major change would take place as Jupiter would turn from Aries to Taurus - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/TransitofJupiterinTaurusin2024-25, although in Krittika Nakshatra only. This would make a difference in results a lot for two main reasons –

• Jupiter is in friendly sign in Aries but it is in enemy sign in Taurus.

• Aries is more harsh sign whereas Taurus is more stable sign.

Simplest way to interpret any planetary position or transit is by looking at the nature of sign or nakshatra and nature of planet involved. So, we need to combine Jupiter’s nature with Krittika nature.

Krittika is related with Lord Kartikeya, The God of Wars, and Jupiter enhances results. It means during Jupiter in Krittika Nakshatra, we can see current wars or some new wars in this world, expanding to new levels. Now, one opinion can be that as Jupiter is a benefic planet then it should reduce wars or conflicts. Why it should bring more wars or conflicts?

Jupiter represents Wisdom too. So, if people or countries behave wisely, peace can enhance. If they don’t work wisely then violence can enhance. Jupiter knows only to enhance. It’s our choice what we want to enhance.

So, a War or Conflict like situation can be potential possibility during this transit. As Krittika is still in Taurus sign of Wealth, don’t be surprised if a conflict gets developed with the intention of making money. Sale of weaponry can be on high which can bring wealth to people selling weapons.

Even at personal level, we can see people getting more aggressive and dominant during this transit, if they are not wise enough to avoid the conflicts. As always, regular meditation can help people in sailing through this time period without much harm. Else people can get into conflicts, violence and injuries.

As Jupiter is knowledge, people can get interested in gaining knowledge about arms, weaponry, cooking, surgery, crime and the ways to mitigate crime. Study of Criminology can be on a high.

In our personal relations too, Mindfulness, wisdom and regular counselling can be very helpful in avoiding many conflicts and disputes.

As Krittika is root word of word Critic, people should be wise in their criticism to others as it can bring conflict and violence. This transit can enhance people’s ability to analyse and argue.

This also means the knowledge gain of any analytical nature of subject. People can also be inclined towards learning Editing kind of work.

An obvious advice would be to be careful in handling sharp objects else chances of accidents and surgeries are high.

At the same time, Krittika’s story is about Nourishing Kartikeya by seven sisters named Krittikas. So, this transit can make people inclined towards adoption and foster parenting too. This is more so as Jupiter itself represents children and child birth.


Again, it also indicates possibility of education in the field of child birth, adoption or foster parenting.

Also, Jupiter in Krittika can make people go into Academics as Career. People can be very much interested in Teaching as Career

As Krittika is present in Aries & Taurus both, the distinction in results during this transit will come as per the sign involved.

Jupiter in Krittika/Taurus transit can make people getting into conflicts with the purpose of stability, security and safety as Taurus represents these things, whereas the main aim Jupiter in Krittika/Aries can be dominance and control of others as Aries represents these things.

Spying, Stalking and Research activities can be on a high as it is also part of Krittika story.

In the end, free will is with us as to how we want to utilize this transit. Krittika is giving option of Fighting and Nourishing/Educating both. In the end, it is our choice if we want to fight or nourish. Obviously, people with higher evolution level will engage themselves in nourishment and people at lower evolution level will be engaged in fighting.

In case, you find yourself engaged in fighting then at least be honest to accept the responsibility of your actions. Don’t blame your actions on others because “no one can trigger you in fight unless you want to be triggered.” And if you accept the responsibility once honestly then it will be difficult to fight again.

Now, in whichever house Jupiter is transiting in your birth chart in Taurus/Aries sign and Krittika Nakshatra - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/TransitofJupiterinTaurusin2024-25, things and people related to that house can become a reason behind conflicts or nourishment, as the case may be.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
