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.
Venus in Ardra ~ Tears of love
Venus, the planet of art and relating, is in Ardra in the sign of Gemini from July 31 to Aug 12th, 2025, the nakshatra symbolized by a Teardrop.
There is an intense and emotional style of relating here, in sharp contrast to Gemini’s familiar bubbly, airy style, and you encounter unexpected depth and contradiction in your relationship. You like to joke, flirt, and keep things light but also show an underlying thoughtful and intense side, best shared with a partner who relates to all these qualities.
Ardra’s ruler, Rudra, the Storm God, brings symbolic rain in the form of a sentimental outburst, perhaps after a period of initial strength and containment. Getting close to someone sees you opening your feelings, and moving through an awkward phase which afterwards leaves you feeling lighter. The Shakti of this asterism is also for Hard Work, which can mean a willingness to explore tough romantic issues, or having a partner who is going through a difficult time.
Your appreciation of life’s complexities sees people coming to you with their problems, and you are also attracted to those who give you a sympathetic audience. Venus coming together with broadminded Jupiter through this transit, gives you extra courage and strength, and you come through a testing encounter richer for the experience. There is a philosophical quality to your relating and somebody from a quite different background may give you useful knowledge and perspective.
A romantic holiday and complete escape would suit you at this time. The Full Moon of August 9th may be a moment to give your emotions free rein, and there is the promise of bringing a shared plan to fulfilment.
