Jupiter Transit 2030
What Jupiter does through 2030: 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vishakha | Jupiter | 29 Nov 2029 | 10 Mar 2030 | 3.3 mo | |
| Anuradha | Saturn | 10 Mar 2030 | 17 Mar 2030 | 0.2 mo | |
| Vishakha | Jupiter | 17 Mar 2030 | 11 Oct 2030 | 6.8 mo | Re-entry |
| Anuradha | Saturn | 11 Oct 2030 | 12 Dec 2030 | 2 mo | Re-entry |
| Jyeshtha | Mercury | 12 Dec 2030 | 17 Feb 2031 | 2.2 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.
