Jupiter in Mrigashira ~ A restless quest for knowledge

Jupiter, the planet of education and protection, enters pada (part) one of Mrigashira from October 26th to November 28th, 2024.

This transit is a repeat of Jupiter’s movement from late August to late September this year while the planet moved swiftly forward through the sign of Taurus. Now in retrograde motion, Jupiter gives you a different perspective on a recent opportunity and you may decide to commit fully to an education or travel plan. Mrigashira’s myth of a pursuit driven by desire sees you chasing knowledge and security, where you take your time before going all-in in one direction.

You are drawn to foreign adventure and business which broadens your horizons, all in a practical, earthy way. Pada One of these nakshatra relates to Leo navamsha, where you do things with a flourish and appreciate being seen. You may have received a generous gesture recently or another kind of lucky break, and your confidence and sense of freedom inspire others. You are supportive and positive to people closest to you, though you may also run into competition over who is the grandest and most theatrical one in your relationship.

Jupiter exchanges full aspect with clever, curious Mercury through this whole transit, and you walk a path between philosophical knowledge and the fine details of your work. Your desire may be to move abroad and find adventure, but you also profit from drilling down into your subject and having all the facts. November 18th-19th especially presents you with a tough choice, as somebody raises a finer point that you need to address and correct.
