Jupiter Transit (Gochar): Now in Cancer

Jupiter (Guru / Brihaspati) transit is one of the most watched events in Vedic astrology, since it spends roughly a year in each sign and blesses the areas it aspects with growth, opportunity and good counsel. Its move into a new sign is an annual turning point for finance, learning, marriage and children.
