Jupiter enters Leo on 31 October 2026, returns to Cancer from 25 January to late June 2027, then stays in Leo until late November 2027. By the classical gochara rule, Jupiter is favourable when it transits the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th or 11th house from your Moon sign — so this transit favours Karka, Mesha, Kumbha, Dhanu and Tula Moon signs most.

Beyond the Moon sign
A “mixed” house does not mean a bad year. Jupiter’s aspects (5th, 7th and 9th from where it sits), its house from your ascendant, and above all your running dasha change the picture. A Jupiter mahadasha or antardasha with Jupiter strong in the birth chart makes any Jupiter transit more productive. More on career and money: Jupiter in Leo — career and finances.
