Jupiter (Guru) Nakshatra Pada Transit 2023
Jupiter is the great benefic, signifying wisdom, children, fortune and dharma. Its yearly sign change is one of the most awaited transits (Guru Gochar) in Vedic astrology.
Every nakshatra is divided into four padas of 3°20'. A pada transit marks a graha crossing into the next quarter of a nakshatra, the finest standard division, which also determines the Navamsa sign the graha occupies. The Jupiter spends about a year in each sign. Times below are exact to the minute, calculated with the sidereal Lahiri ayanamsa.

Rows marked Retrograde are crossings made while Jupiter is moving backward, so it can appear to re-enter the same nakshatra pada more than once.
Note: positions are calculated with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa using the Swiss Ephemeris. Other Panchang sources use slightly different ayanamsa values, so their times can differ from these by a few minutes for the Sun and Moon, and by more for slower planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
