Jupiter Sign Calculator

How to read your result

• Vedic sign is the sidereal sign used in Indian astrology, with degree and nakshatra.
• Western sign is the tropical sign you see in English horoscopes.
• House shows the area of life where Jupiter works. It needs a birth time.
• Dignity: if Jupiter is exalted, debilitated or in its own sign, we show it.

What your Jupiter sign says

Jupiter is the great benefic. It rules knowledge, dharma, wealth, children, teachers and good advice. For women it's also read for the husband in traditional astrology. Its sign shows how you grow and what you trust, and its house shows where life tends to be generous to you.

Vedic vs Western Jupiter sign

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, tied to the stars. Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, tied to the seasons. The gap between them is the ayanamsa, about 24 degrees today. That's why many people find their Vedic Jupiter sign is one sign before their Western one. We show both so you can compare.

Jupiter's yearly transit

Because Jupiter changes sign about once a year, its transit (guru gochar) is one of the most watched events. When transit Jupiter crosses your natal Jupiter sign, roughly at ages 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60, it's called a Jupiter return and often marks a new chapter. Jupiter in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th or 11th from your Moon is traditionally the best transit. Our transit calculator shows where it is for you now.

Jupiter in the 12 signs

Jupiter is traditionally exalted in Cancer and debilitated in Capricorn.

How long Jupiter stays in a sign

Jupiter spends about a year in each sign and takes about 12 years to go round the zodiac. Everyone born in the same year or so shares the Jupiter sign, so the house (which needs a birth time) is what makes it personal.

Your Jupiter sign in its dasha

The sign and house shown here matter most when Jupiter's mahadasha or antardasha runs. In those years Jupiter brings its house topics forward and acts in the style of its sign. Look at where the sign lord sits as well, since Jupiter delivers its results through that planet. When a slow planet transits your natal Jupiter sign, the same themes tend to come up again.

How we calculate it

We convert your birth time to UTC using the time zone that applied on that date, compute Jupiter's exact position with an astronomy engine and subtract the Lahiri ayanamsa. Houses are whole signs counted from your lagna. If you leave the time out and Jupiter changed sign that day, we tell you.
