On Sunday 8th May 2011 at 14:16 IST, the great Jupiter is entering in the Ashwini Nakshatra of the Aries Moon Sign. This is according to sidereal position of the Zodiac and its presence in Aries will last about 11 months and 16 days roughly. It will then enter its next sign Taurus on 22nd May, 2012 and so on until about 22nd April 2023 when its ready to move into Aries again. During this period, it will give good and bad effects to various Lagna and Moon signs.

Although Jupiter has benefic significance normally, but for those who have retrogression, debilitated, and unfriendly sign at the time of birth, adverse and unpleasant taste during Jupiter transit will be observed. Additionally, one must know that Jupiter reacts very bad in its fiery sign even those who have favorable and neutral presence in their Horoscope in spite of it lordship. Another lordship of Jupiter is the Watery sign - Pisces - in which it gives better results even in normal conditions to the native during its transit. Jupiter becomes more callous, hard hearted, judicious, cruel and a staunch regulator of natural justice when it rounds in the Sagittarius sign however. The top people of the world, bureaucrats, rulers and intelligent people like judges, authors, writers, law maker, welfare founders and sages have felt their most uneasy time during such Jupiter Transits, even though they have a respectable and normal position otherwise.

Jupiter is lord of the North east & South east directions in mundane astrology and it has wide influence in democratically, economically and culturally strong countries.

The new cycle of Jupiter will have major effects on you and your work, in a way like never before, from May 8, 2011 to April 22, 2023.

Do you remember what happened during the last cycle that started in May 1999 and is coming to an end on May 8, 2011? These cycles are connected with the planet Jupiter and are known as Jupiter's cycle. If we look back we will be astonished to know that a set pattern has happened during these 11-12 years. For instance professional or career growth must have shown a pattern it could be upward downward, stagnant, rewarding or it could be disturbing or torturous. This phenomenon could be observed at a global as well at a personal level.

For instance in 1999 America was peaking and was undisputedly the leading global economy that could not be destroyed. Come 2000 and America's downfall began rapidly. It had the worst jolt in its history of over 300 years when the twin towers were destroyed in the 9/11 attack. But thanks to the CIA intelligence and Obama administration that they have become successful to kill their staunch enemy and main culprit of 9/11 Osama Bin Laden on the mid night of 1/2 May 2011 at Abottabad (Pakistan). Till then it had been thought that no one could touch America. After that America got involved in the Middle East and more specifically in Iraq and Afghanistan and terrorist activities were now aimed at the US. It suffered the worst economic recession and the beginning of the world recession started from here. The maximum impact was felt by Western countries and America is yet to recover from this economic jolt. During this period China and India emerged as strong economic powers.

On the personal or emotional level all of us again follow a set pattern of good, bad, neutral happenings in life. Interpersonal relations must have undergone a sea change from then as compared to what they are now.

Likewise health issues, family health issues, relationship with parents, children, husband, wife, the equation with rivals, competitors, enemies, romantic relationships and other personal and business relationships too must not be the same as they used to be at that time.

Assets, property, assets and other economic aspects too would have changed in these years and would be different then and now.

From 8th of May all of us are entering a 12 year cycle which will last till April 22, 2023. Jupiter's sojourn in Aries will set the pace for you and define the pattern of results in the next 12 years. However we will like to confine ourselves for one year which will give you a glimpse of where you are headed in the next decade or so.
