Jupiter in Ardra ~ Sympathy and support

Jupiter, the planet of travel and education, is in pada (part) four of Ardra between July 28th and August 13th, 2025, the part of Gemini symbolized by a Teardrop.

Pada Four of this nakshatra relates to Pisces navamsa, the sub-chart of marriage and spirituality, which is also known for its spiritual and empathic quality. You have an intuitive and mystical outlook and may be trying to escape from your daily stress and get a sense of greater connectedness. The double Jupiter-ruled influence of this pada gives big promise, and you can achieve a great deal by keeping belief and having faith in your final vision.

These qualities sit alongside Ardra’s natural coolness under pressure, where you can be detached and handle a crisis without losing your centre. You have a subtle power that people pick up on, and offering sympathy and emotional support brings an unexpected return. Simple good fortune may arrive at this time from a kind of karmic reward, where you see beyond the obvious and act from a deeper level in life. This nakshatra’s intense and transformative nature has greater complexity than is usually imagined for the sign of Gemini, and your education and search for knowledge also take on a more profound quality.

A peak experience may arrive in yoga and meditation, after long practice, but be mindful of an emotional ‘release’ afterwards. Jupiter sits together with sweet Venus through this whole transit and you are more than usually open and giving in a relationship. Make yourself popular in your circle, and people come to you spontaneously for your power to understand. The Full Moon of August 9th is a peak point of this transit and makes an excellent day for a celebration.
