Jupiter Transit 2029
What Jupiter does through 2029: 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chitra | Mars | 16 Nov 2028 | 6 Jun 2029 | 6.6 mo | |
| Hasta | Moon | 6 Jun 2029 | 22 Jun 2029 | 0.5 mo | Re-entry |
| Chitra | Mars | 22 Jun 2029 | 29 Sep 2029 | 3.2 mo | Re-entry |
| Swati | Rahu | 29 Sep 2029 | 29 Nov 2029 | 2 mo | |
| Vishakha | Jupiter | 29 Nov 2029 | 10 Mar 2030 | 3.3 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.
