Jupiter in Punarvasu ~ A star student

Jupiter, planet of knowledge and protection, is in pada (part) three of Punarvasu, in the zodiacal sign of Gemini from December 5th, 2025, to January 4th, 2026.

This transit sees Jupiter moving retrograde through the area it was in from mid-September to mid-October 2025, and may bring resolution to an issue from that time. Jupiter going back in the zodiacal Gemini takes on an intelligent and questioning quality and boosts your study and research efforts in an expansive and inspiring way. An opportunity from the last several weeks may also re-emerge, and you know the steps now needed to make this a reality in your life.

Jupiter has an affinity with Punarvasu’s adventurous and inquisitive nature, symbolized by a Quiver of Arrows, and its Shakti of Renewal. Pada three of these asterisms also relate to Gemini navamsha, the sub-chart of marriage and good fortune, where Jupiter has extra underlying strength. There is no contrast between Jupiter’s zodiacal position and its navamsha placement, and you can put all your focus in one direction. A relationship becomes a meeting of minds, where you demand that your partner is as questioning and intellectually open as you.

This is a good time to study and perhaps play the guru figure for each other, or you renew your romantic life while in education or on a mind-expanding foreign trip. Jupiter’s exchange of glances with dynamic Mars from December 7th onwards also increases in strength up to January 4th, and you study the underlying theory behind a subject for more than simply credentials or curiosity. You take action in the real world and can achieve more than you thought possible.
