Guru Gochar 2026 to 2027
Jupiter in Simha 2026
Jupiter (Guru) enters Simha, Leo, on 31 October 2026 and stays until 24 January 2027. This first stay is a preview of the main transit, which begins when Jupiter returns to Simha on 26 June 2027. Below are the exact timeline, the effects for all twelve Moon signs, and simple remedies for the preview weeks.
A trailer, not the main transit
Most headlines will announce Jupiter in Leo as a one year transit. The sky tells a shorter story this time. Because of Jupiter's retrograde motion, this stay lasts only about twelve weeks: Jupiter enters Simha on 31 October 2026, turns retrograde on 13 December 2026, and slips back into Karka (Cancer) on 24 January 2027. The full stay in Simha begins on 26 June 2027. We call this first stay a trailer because the themes it switches on now, study, children, leadership, faith and creative work, are the themes the main transit will develop in depth later.
Ketu is already in Simha when Jupiter arrives, and the two travel together until Ketu leaves Simha on 6 December 2026. This pairing gives the preview a distinctive flavor: Jupiter expands, Ketu detaches. Expect a pull toward spiritual study, research and inner clarity, while public recognition may arrive more slowly than effort deserves. It is a good combination for learning and letting go, and a poor one for ego driven announcements.
Mars joins Simha on 13 November 2026 and stays with Jupiter for several weeks, adding speed, heat and decisiveness. Use that window for bold, well prepared action, and keep temper in check in leadership and public roles. From 13 December, retrograde Jupiter turns the mood toward review: revisit plans, correct course, and let the preview show you what the main transit will ask of you.
From Simha, Jupiter casts its special aspects on Dhanu (5th aspect), Kumbha (7th aspect) and Mesha (9th aspect). So along with Simha Moon natives, those with Moon in Mesha, Kumbha or Dhanu receive a direct aspect of Jupiter on the Moon during this stay.

Effects by Moon sign
Transit effects are read from your Moon sign (Chandra Rashi), not your Sun sign. If you do not know your Moon sign, generate your free kundali first and then find your sign below. The houses listed are counted from the Moon sign, and the same houses are activated again from 26 June 2027, for the full stay.
Mesha (Aries) Moon 5th house
Jupiter in your 5th house supports study, children, creativity and romance. It is a helpful window for students, teachers and anyone starting a creative project or preparing for an exam. The Ketu pairing in the early weeks can make results feel uneven, so steady effort and honest work respond better than speculation. Jupiter's 9th aspect on your Moon also steadies judgement and mood.
Vrishabha (Taurus) Moon 4th house
Home, mother, property and inner peace come to the front. This is a good window to settle property paperwork, improve your living space, or give time to your mother and family. Ketu in the same house until 6 December can create a restless feeling at home, so keep domestic changes planned rather than impulsive.
Mithuna (Gemini) Moon 3rd house
Jupiter supports courage, skills, communication and short travel from your 3rd house. Writing, interviews, applications and sibling matters tend to move more easily, and self made effort is favored over waiting for luck. When Mars joins in mid November, pace picks up further; use it for demanding tasks and keep words measured with siblings and colleagues.
Karka (Cancer) Moon 2nd house
Family, savings and speech are highlighted as Jupiter crosses your 2nd house. Traditionally this placement supports accumulation, family harmony and respected speech, and it is a sensible period to organize finances and clear small dues. While Ketu shares the sign until early December, avoid lending or promising money on impulse.
Simha (Leo) Moon 1st house
Jupiter crosses your Moon itself, the most personal placement of this transit. Confidence, visibility and health habits tend to improve, and a teacher or mentor may point you toward a new direction. Ketu alongside until 5 December adds an inward, reflective mood; use it for clarity rather than withdrawal. This preview sets the theme that your full 2027 stay will expand.
Kanya (Virgo) Moon 12th house
The 12th house turns attention to rest, expenses, charity and inner life. This stay suits spiritual practice, quiet completion of pending work, and foreign connections or travel planning. Watch discretionary spending and protect your sleep, especially in the retrograde weeks. Many Kanya Moon natives use such a phase to close old chapters cleanly.
Tula (Libra) Moon 11th house
Jupiter in your 11th house is traditionally one of its most fruitful placements, supporting gains, income and the fulfillment of long held wishes. Professional networks, mentors and elder siblings can play a helpful role now. Use the preview to rebuild circles and plans that the full 2027 stay can reward.
Vrishchika (Scorpio) Moon 10th house
Career, status and public responsibility come forward as Jupiter crosses your 10th house. It is a good window to seek guidance from seniors, apply for a stronger role, or formalize a professional move. Mars joining in November adds drive at work; keep ambition steady and avoid friction with authority in that short window.
Dhanu (Sagittarius) Moon 9th house
Jupiter in your 9th house is classically one of the best placements of this transit, and its 5th aspect falls directly on your Moon. Fortune, higher education, father, gurus and long journeys are favored. Study, pilgrimage and dharmic work begun in this window tend to find support and direction.
Makara (Capricorn) Moon 8th house
The 8th house asks for patience with shared money, taxes, paperwork and health routines. This stay supports research, deep study and the careful sorting of joint finance or inheritance matters. Move slowly with loans and speculative commitments, especially during the retrograde weeks from mid December to late January.
Kumbha (Aquarius) Moon 7th house
Partnerships, spouse and public dealings are highlighted, and Jupiter's 7th aspect falls on your Moon. Relationships and business collaborations take an expansive, fair minded tone in this stay. It is a supportive window for commitments made with honest conversation and clear terms.
Meena (Pisces) Moon 6th house
Daily routine, health habits, debts and service come forward as Jupiter crosses your 6th house. This placement helps you organize work, repay dues step by step and improve habits through steady discipline. Competition at work may rise; clear documentation and consistent service keep you ahead. Protect rest during the retrograde phase.

Check your Moon sign, freeRemedies for the preview stay
Remedies for a Jupiter transit are simple, sattvic and safe. They are traditionally done on Thursdays, the day of Guru. Follow one or two with sincerity rather than all of them mechanically.
Thursday vrat
Keep a simple Thursday fast or take a sattvic meal, and offer prayers to Guru Brihaspati and Lord Vishnu. Even a quiet, honest Thursday routine builds the discipline that Jupiter rewards.
Yellow offerings
Offer yellow flowers, bananas, turmeric or yellow sweets at a temple or your home altar on Thursdays. Yellow is the color of Jupiter, and offering it is a reminder to choose wisdom over impulse.
Chana dal and turmeric donation
Donate chana dal, turmeric, yellow cloth or books to students, teachers or a temple on a Thursday. Giving the materials of learning is considered one of the finest remedies for Jupiter.
Respect teachers and elders
Serve your teachers, father and elders, and seek their blessings during this stay. Jupiter strengthens where there is humility and gratitude, and weakens where there is arrogance.
Guru beej mantra
Chant the Guru beej mantra 108 times on Thursday mornings: Om Gram Greem Graum Sah Gurave Namah. Sit facing east, keep the pace slow, and let the practice be steady rather than intense.
