Jupiter Transit 2024
What Jupiter does through 2024: when it changes sign and nakshatra, when it turns retrograde, and when the Sun burns it. Every date is the real one — a stretch that began before January says so.

Station dates are given in IST. A station is an instant, so sources in another timezone can show it a day either side.
Jupiter through the nakshatras
The sign is the long chapter. The nakshatra is the shorter passage inside it, and it carries its own ruling planet — which is what changes the flavour of the transit.
| Nakshatra | Ruled by | From | To | Duration | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ashwini | Ketu | 27 Nov 2023 | 3 Feb 2024 | 2.2 mo | Re-entry |
| Bharani | Venus | 3 Feb 2024 | 17 Apr 2024 | 2.4 mo | Re-entry |
| Krittika | Sun | 17 Apr 2024 | 13 Jun 2024 | 1.9 mo | |
| Rohini | Moon | 13 Jun 2024 | 20 Aug 2024 | 2.2 mo | |
| Mrigashira | Mars | 20 Aug 2024 | 28 Nov 2024 | 3.3 mo | |
| Rohini | Moon | 28 Nov 2024 | 10 Apr 2025 | 4.4 mo | Re-entry |
A planet re-crosses a nakshatra boundary when it turns retrograde, so the same nakshatra can appear more than once. Those rows are marked as a re-entry.
