Jupiter Transit 2027
What Jupiter does through 2027: 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magha | Ketu | 31 Oct 2026 | 25 Jan 2027 | 2.8 mo | |
| Ashlesha | Mercury | 25 Jan 2027 | 26 Jun 2027 | 5 mo | Re-entry |
| Magha | Ketu | 26 Jun 2027 | 31 Aug 2027 | 2.2 mo | Re-entry |
| Purva Phalguni | Venus | 31 Aug 2027 | 4 Nov 2027 | 2.2 mo | |
| Uttara Phalguni | Sun | 4 Nov 2027 | 25 Mar 2028 | 4.7 mo |
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.
