Jupiter (Guru) Rashi Transit 2028
Jupiter is the great benefic, signifying wisdom, children, fortune and dharma. Its yearly sign change is one of the most awaited transits (Guru Gochar) in Vedic astrology.
A rashi transit (Gochar) is the moment a graha leaves one zodiac sign and enters the next in the sidereal (Nirayana, Lahiri) system. Transit signs are read against your Moon sign and ascendant to judge the effect of the period. The Jupiter spends about a year in each sign. Times below are exact to the minute, calculated with the sidereal Lahiri ayanamsa.

Rows marked Retrograde are crossings made while Jupiter is moving backward, so it can appear to re-enter the same sign more than once.
Note: positions are calculated with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa using the Swiss Ephemeris. Other Panchang sources use slightly different ayanamsa values, so their times can differ from these by a few minutes for the Sun and Moon, and by more for slower planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
