Dear All:

Jupiter enters sidereal Leo sign (Simha rashi) on July 14, 2015 [by vaakya panchanga traditions,
many temples have already observed Jupiter transit already, BUT, astronomically, Jupiter's transit
into sidereal Cancer is only on June 14, 2015; Drik Ganitha panchangams also give the same
date]. Jupiter will remain in Simha rashi till August 11, 2016.
I will comment on the Elemental status, and general auspiciousness/ challenging nature of Jupiter
transit for various rashis so that those born in rashis that are under challenging Jupiter transit
influences may perform appropriate remedies and brace themselves up, and these indications are
applicable to everyone.
As these results are moderated by other influences to some extent, it is best that you should
consult your family astrologer or other expert astrologers to know how exactly the actual results
may manifest for you specific to your birth chart.
For Mesha rashi natives (those born under Ashwini, Bharani, and Krittka 1st padam stars),
Jupiter transits the auspicious 5th house from your rashi. Those of you who have been waiting
desperately for conception may find that Heavens open their Benevolent Grace on you this year.
This is a great year for planning your long-term investments, for getting initiation into mantra
deekshas, for visiting ascetics, Holy Men and gaining their Grace, and for embarking on
ambitious ventures. However, since Jupiter attains Thaamara Moorthy lakshana (Iron elemental
status) for your sign, the good effects will manifest in full intensity only if you take concentrated
efforts along right channels and are patient and thorough in your efforts, or else, this will just be
a year when you are generally lucky but no significant advancement may happen. Don't let things
drift like that.
Another moderating influence will be when Rahu in transit influences Simha rashi from 29 th
January 2016 which could be sensitive for those in the family way and also this is a period when
you must avoid trusting untrustworthy persons while at the same time taking care not to upset
genuine well-wishers to mentors by adopting an unnecessarily skeptical attitude.
Remedies: Regular prayers on Lord Hanumaan will help you to make the best use of the positive
transit and overcome the effects of Rahu from January 29, 2016.
Those seeking progenic bliss should ideally visit places like Tirunageshwaram, or Shri Kalahasti,
or Kukke Subramaniya and offer special prayers to overcome the influence of Rahu/ Jupiter on
the 5th house from your rashi from January 29, 2016. If such a visit is not possible, at least try to
visit any temple of Lord Skanda and offer 18 ghee lamps in the 8 th/ 9th month of conception
praying for safe delivery and birth of a healthy child.

For Rishabha rashi natives (those born under Krittika 2, 3,4 padams, Rohini, Mrigasira 1, and 2
padams), Jupiter transits the 4th house from natal Moon sign. This is not an auspicious transit.
Since 4th house indicates homeland/ residence basically, the inauspicious effects may manifest as
unsettled situations at home, possible relocation or confusion regarding one's prospects (like
dilemma regarding one's roles at work place), or simply lack of domestic peace at home. But,
since Jupiter attains Rajata Moorthy (Silver elemental status) for your sign, there is relief seen by
remedial prayers, and by performance of remedies good results regarding academic matters,
blessings of mother or elderly maternal relatives, and even positive developments regarding
property settlements might be expected.
Be very careful while driving vehicles after Jan 29, 2016 when Rahu in transit joins Jupiter and
influences Simha rashi. Ancestral property matters and property transactions must be handled
diplomatically and with caution to avoid unnecessary issues. Health of mother or elderly
maternal relatives may cause concern for some of you.

Remedies: Performing Girivalam at Tiruvannamalai on Pournami nights will be a good remedy

for ensuring domestic peace and progress.
If professional prospects are unsettling or if there are unnecessary differences with mother/
maternal relatives that disrupt your peace of mind, recite the mantra Om Maatruvatsalaaya
GanEshaaya LambOdharaaya hum 32 times.

For Mithuna rashi natives (those born in Mrigasira 3 and 4 padams, Arudra, Punarvasu 1, 2, and
3 padams), Jupiter transits the 3rd house from natal Moon sign. This is an inauspicious transit but where danger lurks ONLY if you take wrong decisions or make unethical moves. You must
remember that Universe will give you chance to redeem yourself and correct your errors, but if
you stick on to egoistic ways and continue with wrong choices, you may manifest your own
doom. Those who are patient, and ethical by nature have nothing to fear from this transit
influence except that there could be varying degrees of anxiety due to situational factors. Since
Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy lakshana (Gold elemental status), you have potential to get good
results by taking bold / adventurous decisions, and by working in close association with your
colleagues at work and siblings/ cousins at home.
Rahus transit into Simha rashi when it joins Jupiter on January 29, 2016 is auspicious for you
except that you should be careful and maintain good dynamics with younger siblings/ cousins

and ensure that you are seen to be objective and fair in your dealings. If there are minor
misunderstandings, you must take the initiative to resolve them shrugging off entrapments of ego
and unnecessary stubbornness so that others also will be motivated to do so, and potential
conflict would transform into increased sense of trust and bonding with people whom you love.
Remedies: Light a lamp (either ghee or oil lamp) in a temple praying to Lord Skanda on Krittika
nakshatra days or on Visakha nakshatra days. Recite the mantra Om Hreem Shanmukhaaya
shadaananaaya namah 36 times daily praying for welfare of self and for family unity.

For Kataka rashi natives (those born in Punarvasu 4th padam, Pushya, Aslesha), Jupiter transits
the 2nd house from natal Moon sign. This is considered a good transit which is auspicious for
new acquisitions, resolving family issues, enjoying respect for one's words, benefits arising out
of recital of auspicious mantras, and generally a positive trend in life. However, since Jupiter
attains LOha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status), the positive effects will be markedly
reduced. You must take extra-efforts to manifest the good results that are possible under this
transit.
Remember that this transit makes it auspicious for you to gain through your words, control of
mouth (implying regulation in speech and diet), by learning new slokhas/ mantras, and by
spending money on auspicious charitable activities to earn karmic reward points too:)
When you perform austerities, or perform dhaan (charitable offerings) do it with a sense of
detachment and with the understanding that you are just paying back some karmic debt with all
these, and dont expect immediate results. Such matured approach and spiritual attitude will
attract the blessings of noble souls that will help you to enjoy the potential good effects of this
transit.
After January 29, 2016, Rahu joins Jupiter in Simha rashi which could be a particularly sensitive
period. Avoid risky speculative investments, rash speech, and self-medications as these can cause
unnecessary issues for you.
REMEDIES: Recite the mantra Om Soum saravanabhavaaya sanathkumaaraaya namah 36
times daily and light a prayer lamp in your house praying for auspciousness.
Offer wheat equal to 1/10th of your body-weight to any temple on your birthday.
If possible pay a visit to Kukke Subramanya, Swaamimalai, or Tiruchendur after January 26,
2016.

For Simha rashi natives (those born in Magha, Poorvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni 1st padam),
Jupiter transits the rashi itself which goes by the technical name of "Janma Guru." This is reputed
to give stressful situations in life, and situations where you need to take objective decisions to
march ahead in life. Often allusion is made to "Janma Guru caused exile of Shri Raama" - and it
is observed that many people do relocate to distant lands or experience some sort of adverse
transfers or challenging situations under this transit influence. Luckily, Jupiter has attained
Swarna Moorthy status (Golden Elemental status) during this transit which can help you to
reduce the negative impact of this transit to a great extent, and there is a possibility that
seemingly unfavourable developments may pave the way for realization of long-term goals. It
could either be mundane benefits like a transfer to a distant place but with good prospects for
growth tagged with it, OR, spiritual benefits like suffering minor setbacks that could neutralize
your praarabdha karma and pave the way for success in the coming years.
After January 29, 2016, Rahu joins Jupiter in your Janma rashi which complicates the picture. If
you act with arrogance and without regard to ethics/ welfare of others, Universe may slap you
awake with rude outcomes that might jolt you. Dont be misled by flowery words of sycophants
around you, but analyze situations realistically to avoid unpalatable outcomes.

Remedies: Visiting places where siddhas/ saints have attained Jeeva Samadhi and lighting prayer
lamp praying that they should show you the right way will be auspicious for you.
If you are in public life, try installing street lamps, donating lighting facilities to charitable
institutions, and helping with the educational needs of poor but deserving students to enjoy
success in elections.
Dont jump into conclusions in any matter. Be patient with everyone, accept things as they come,
and then form your strategies as reaction to situations. Dont exacerbate issues by speaking out
of turn, or trying to aggressively push matters as such moves may fire back on you this year.
For Kanya rashi natives (those born in Uttaraphalguni 2, 3, and 4 paadams, Hasta, and Chitra 1,
2), Jupiter transits the 12th house from rashi (Viraya Guru - Jupiter transit productive of
expenses/ wastage/ losses, and possible loss of position). However, such setbacks will manifest
only if you insist on egoistic persistence with your plans. Otherwise, this will just be a period
when expenses might mount - but on auspicious matters. You may not be able to avoid certain
wasteful journeys or frustration in efforts, but that wont affect your prospects too much except
being an inconvenience for the smooth flow of life. You must spend on essentials but avoid
luxurious expenditure, and be ready with reserve cash to face exigencies in life. Health could be
somewhat below par. As Jupiter during this transit attains Thaamra Moorthy lakshana (Copper

elemental status), the challenging effects will be seen to about 80% (not all negative, but
potential for facing challenging situations is high).
Rahu transiting the 12th house from January 29, 2016 will compound the challenging influences.

Remedies: Recite Chatru samhaara vel pathigam or Skanda Shashti kavacham after lighting a
prayer lamp and spreading Holy Ash in a clean brass container or plantain leaf in front of the
Deity. That Holy Ash can be used as lucky talisman to reduce issues in life.
Offer ghee lamp in Honour of Lord Skanda during auspicious occasions like Soora Samhaaram,
Aadi Krittikai, Kaarthikai Deepam day, Thai Krittikai, and Vaikaasi visaakham.

For Thula rashi natives (those born in Chitra 3, 4 padams, Swathi, Visakham 1, 2, and 3), Jupiter
transits the auspicious 11th house from rashi. This is a very positive transit indicative of gains
from various quarters, support of companions/ society for your good activities, ability to relate
on a friendly basis with everyone, gains through elder siblings and business activities, and your
good luck will shield your children and ensure positive developments in their lives. Jupiter
attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status) during this transit for you. So, you
may expect to enjoy around 80% of the positive intensity of the transit effects.
After Jan 29, 2016, Rahu joins Jupiter in transit in your 11th house from rashi; as that is also a
good transit, Jupiters transit effects will be augmented further in the first half of 2016.
Possibility of unexpected gains through friends, support from people of other cultures/
nationalities, and gain in business activities by embracing unconventional strategies are some
positive impacts you can expect in first half of 2016.
Remedies: No remedies needed for your sign as the transit of Jupiter is good for you.
For Vrischika rashi natives (those born in Visakham 4, Anuradha, and Jyeshta), Jupiter transits
the sensitive 10th house from rashi. There could be uncertainties in professional matters, possible
loss of professional dignity in some way (either loss of face in some way in controversial
situations, or adverse transfers from prestigious roles to insignificant operational duties), and
karma will catch up with you (some setbacks/ difficult situations arising out of your own
activities/ choices; positively, if you have been working hard and if the previous 9 th house transit
of Jupiter failed to reward you, karmic reward can come now and you may be in for pleasant
surprises!). Due to joint trigger of Saturn and Jupiter on 10 th house from Moon, there is a
possibility that if your dasa-bhukti influences are good, then the shift in job could actually be to a
better place/ role, BUT, you still need to work hard to prove yourself in such new roles. Jupiter

has attained Loha Moortha lakshana (Iron elemental status) during this transit which indicates
that you need to work very hard to sustain tempo in career matters.
Rahu shifts into the 10th house from Moon on January 29, 2016 further adding to professional
challenges and possible dichotomy between what you expect and what really happens. Avoid
taking hasty professional decisions this year.
Remedies: Visualize Lord Kartikeya being Formed as a Child from the Fire Sparks of Lord
Shiva's Third Eye in Lotus flowers in Ganges. Avoid rash professional decisions and impulsive
change of jobs. Perform your duties with a matured attitude that we can only do our best, and
how others perceive our efforts is individual to them and we can't be bothered about that!
Recite the mantra Om Ganaadipaaya namah LambOdharaaya hum 36 times daily to side-step
the tough impact of Jupiters transit, and turn challenges into opportunities.
For Dhanus rashi natives (those born in Moola, Poorvaashaada, Uttaraashaada 1st padam),
Jupiter transits the auspicious 9th house from your rashi. This is an auspicious transit that favours
positive relocation influences (like if you have been planning on relocating to a place for better
prospects), initiation into new spiritual routines/ deekshas, long journeys, joining higher
education courses, and you may enjoy increased self-confidence in all that you do. However, the
positive effects will be watered down to some extent since Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy
Lakshana (Copper Elemental Status) during this transit. Patience and thorough handling of
things will only result in good outcomes; if you stretch your luck too far, it could be that the
good effects will be spent in shielding you from the after-effects of wrong decisions.
After January 29, 2016, Rahu shifts into the 9 th house from your Moon sign joining Jupiter which
could give yogas to visit distant lands or benefit by association with people of other cultures/
nationalities.
Remedies: Though transit is good, the moorthy lakshana attained by Jupiter for your sign is not
that great. So, remedial prayers will ensure that positive effects can manifest in reality. Recite the
mantra "Om Kumaara GuravE namah" visualizing on Lord Skanda explaining the meaning of
Pranava to Lord Shiva. If possible, try to visit Swaamimalai and offer special worship.
For Makara rashi natives (people born in Uttarashada 2, 3, and 4, Sravana, and Dhanishta 1, 2
padams), Jupiter transits the sensitive 8th house from your rashi. This is productive of
unnecessary issues in life threatening loss of peace, danger of ill-health to self or close relatives,
and last-minute reversals that might take success away from you. Luckily, Jupiter during this
transit attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental Status) which reduces the impact of
the tough transit and ensures that sincere prayers and seeking blessings from saintly persons will

be good shielding influences for you. Take care of your health and health of close relatives, and
avoid unnecessary litigation/ arguments.
After January 29, 2016, Rahu also joins Jupiter in the 8 th house from your Moon sign indicating
that more care might be needed in first half of 2016 in all matters. Avoid impulsive decisions or
depressive thoughts, and take things as they come so that the challenging periods will pass of as
floating clouds without troubling you much.

Remedies: Recite the mantra "Om Deva sEnapathayE hum" 108 times daily praying for relief
from adverse planetary influences.
Offer Gur, sugarcane, or plantains to elephants in temples whenever possible praying for good
health.
Offer sugarcandy to kids on your birthstar day.
For Kumbha rashi natives (people born in Dhanishta 3, 4, Satabisha, Poorvaphadra 1, 2, 3),
Jupiter transits the auspicious 7th house from your rashi. Wedding bells ring for eligible single
natives of this sign, and those already in a wedded life will find that dynamics with spouse
improves significantly. Others will warm up to you now and there is scope for improving your
societal standing. This is an auspicious transit for you. As Jupiter attains Rajata Moorthy
lakshana (Silver Elemental status), the positive effects of this transit can be experienced to nearly
80% (80% probability of good effects and success in your efforts along good lines).
Rahus shift into Simha Rashi on January 29, 2016 could be somewhat sensitive for domestic
peace or for health of spouse. As long as you handle things carefully things will be generally
under control even then.

Remedies: No remedies needed for your sign as this transit is auspicious for you till January 29,
2016. After January 29, 2016, when Rahus transit may reduce the good impact of this Jupiter
transit, you may recite portions of Sundarakaandam on Saturdays, Sundays, or Thursdays
praying for auspicious vibes in the family.
Worship of Lord Bhairava on Ashtami thithis will augment your good luck in the period before
January 29, 2016, and will help reduce the malefic impact of Rahu transit after January 29, 2016.
For Meena rashi natives (people born in Poorvabhadra 4, Uttarabhadra, Revathi), Jupiter transits
the sensitive 6th house from your rashi. Health needs to be tended carefully, and you must avoid

unnecessary arguments with anyone. Legal issues must be preferably handled by negotiations
rather than with a "gladiatorial fight to the end" attitude. Avoid lending/ borrowing huge sums
based on over-optimistic projections and play it safe in money matters. Jupiter has attained LOha
Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) for your sign during this transit; so, this Moorthy
Lakshana does nothing to water down the tough aspects of this transit, and unless your individual
chart receives positive triggers during the transit (like auspicious house-lords natal position
being triggered by Jupiter), or dasa-bhukti influences are supportive, you must brace yourself for
a challenging period due to this transit.
Rahus shift into Simha rashi from January 29, 2016 might come as a relief for many of you as
Rahus transit through 6th house is auspicious and helps you to overcome challenges by adopting
unconventional strategies. Also, Rahu during this transit can bless you with wedding-yoga if you
have been looking in vain for a suitable match for long, and the previous Jupiter transit did not
ring wedding-bells for you.
Remedies: Visualize on Lord Hanumaan crossing the Ocean it a single leap and reaching Lanka
before beginning major tasks. Pray before a picture depicting Lord Hanumaan holding
Sanjeevani mountain if you or someone in the family becomes sick.

SPECIAL
JUPITER
TIRUVANNAMALAI

TRANSIT

HOMAM

AT

OUR

RESIDENCE

AT

As you might be aware, I am staying at Tiruvannamalai for spiritual reasons from Feb 2014 and
am likely to be here till Lord Arunachaleshwara gives me other signals. So, this year, the Guru
peyarchi homam will be done at the Punya Kshetra of Tiruvannamalai at my temporary residence
here which has a wonderful view of the Holy Mt. Arunachala - the Largest Lingam in the World
and that too a Self-Manifest Lingam (The whole Mountain is considered to be a lingam as Lord
Shiva took the Mountain Form for benefit of humans, after showing the Infinite Pillar of Fire
Form to Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu!)

Those born in Rishabha, Mithuna, Simha, Kanya, Vrischika, Makara, and Meena rashis have
tough transit influences due to this transit and may benefit by a remedial prayer on the transit
day.

Please note that I won't be sending prasad/ holy ash by post due to ritual purity considerations of
the holy articles. My sankalpam on your behalf during the homam is deemed "in-absentia"

participation, and the karmic benefits of the performance will accrue to you. Those who are
interested in participation in the Guru transit homams may please write to my email-id:
dakshinastrologer@yahoo.co.in with the subject tag "Jupiter transit 2015" to know the modalities
of the participation.
Best regards,
Blessed be.
Pandit R DAKSHINA MOORTHI.
