Role Of Jupiter Transit In Major Events Of Our Life
Planet Jupiter is jeevakarka and is the significator of auspicious events, wealth, positivity, spiritual growth, religion, the birth of children, festivals, gold, etc.
Each time Jupiter transit through a sign it directly affects these significations. It is well known that Gold prices fluctuate when Jupiter is about to make a new transit.
In Nadi astrology also Jupiter transit is given huge importance. Without looking at Jupiter's transit it is impossible to make any predictions in Vedic astrology.
Culturally Jupiter is very important in India, the famous Kumbha Mela depends on the position of Jupiter only.
In mythology, Jupiter transit is given a lot of importance. Jupiter transit was tracked by astrologers in King's court and based on that financial decisions were made in those days.
Planet Jupiter is the significator of auspicious events like marriage, the birth of children, etc. For a woman planet Jupiter becomes more important because it is the significator of Husband.
During its transit planet, Jupiter influences marriage and childbirth directly. In any Horoscope, marriage will happen only when Jupiter in its transit makes a planetary association with either the 7th house or its lord. This can be seen from the Moon chart also.
Without the association of Jupiter with the 7th house, the 7th house lord, the event of marriage can not take place.
For example, you can open the transit chart of the day when you got married.
You will notice that planet Jupiter is either influencing your 7th house or its lord.
Note: Account for the retrograde state also, in retrograde transit, planet Jupiter will influence the previous house also.
In the same way, the role of Jupiter transit in childbirth is supreme because Jupiter is the sole karaka of children.
For childbirth to happen, it is a must that Jupiter influence your 5th house or its lord. You need to check this condition from your rising ascendant sign and moon sign. Generally, transit from the rising ascendant sign is more effective. But this rule works equally from the Moon sign.
Let's see the example of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi to validate this rule.
Indira Gandhi was born on 19th November 1917.
Planetary transits when Indira Gandhi was born
On that day Jupiter was in the sign of Taurus. Now check the Horoscope of Jawaharlal Nehru.
Jawaharlal Nehru Horoscope
He is Cancer rising ascendant and on the day when his daughter Indira Gandhi was born Jupiter was aspecting his 5th house from the sign of Taurus.
So you just saw how the transit of Jupiter controls the birth of children in a Horoscope. In the same way transit Jupiter controls our career and health also.
In fact, any important event in our life can't happen unless Jupiter transit is involved in it.

This is the most important factor which affects the Jupiter transit.
The intent of planet Jupiter's transit will be decided due to its lordship in a Horoscope.
For example, Jupiter is benefic for the Pisces zodiac sign, and in its transit, planet Jupiter will give good effects on the house it is transiting through.
2. Jupiter Effects On Zodiac Sign: Like all planets, Jupiter also gives different results in different signs. For example, in the sign of Cancer planet, Jupiter becomes exalted whereas in the sign of Capricorn Jupiter is debilitated. This factor decides the strength of transit Jupiter.
