✦ AUG 18 TO SEP 03

Jupiter in Ashlesha Pada One

Jupiter is in Ashlesha Nakshatra from August 18th to October 31st, and in Ashlesha pada (part) one from August 18th to September 3rd - the nakshatra of insight and transformation, ruled by the Nagas, the shape-shifting serpents who guarded heavenly treasure.

Your Jupiter Predictions →

These mythological creatures also stand for worldly wisdom and cunning, which gives a more businesslike quality to Jupiter's quest for knowledge. You are interested in real-world power and influence and seek to understand truth on an emotional and instinctive level. Ashlesha pada one relates to Sagittarius navamsha, the underlying chart of relationship and good fortune, which gives Jupiter an even greater affinity and influence in this asterism. In addition to insight and cunning, you have an abundance of faith, honesty, and a sense of adventure.

What this looks like in daily life

✦ You are open and generous in relationships, though there is a balance to strike between Ashlesha's suspicion and Sagittarius's trust - follow your instincts in a one-to-one situation.

✦ Express this transit by giving protection to your loved ones.

✦ The Shakti of this asterism is ‘to inflict venom’ - be mindful of any potentially toxic atmosphere, where some people may be jealous of your progress.

✦ From August 28th, Jupiter casts its influence directly onto Saturn - a strong time for long-term decisions around career and budgeting, finding the sweet spot between expansion and consolidation.
