What this brief exalted transit means
From October 19 to December 4, Jupiter moves into Cancer, its sign of exaltation. In simple terms, Jupiter’s protective, wise, and generous nature gets stronger. Outcomes arrive with less struggle, and help often appears at the right time.
During this window Jupiter travels mainly through Punarvasu Nakshatra (ruled by Jupiter). Punarvasu brings renewal, returns, and “try again and succeed.” Many will see stalled matters revive.
Quick rule: From the Moon, Jupiter in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th houses is classically supportive. Check both Ascendant and Moon for a fuller picture.
