This article deals with the general effects of upcoming transit of Jupiter thru the sign of Gemini.

Systems Approach (SA) to Vedic Astrology by Prof V K Choudhry (VKC) , has been followed in determining the functional nature of Jupiter for various ascendants based on the position of its Mooltrikona sign as Sagittarius.

Whenever the sign of Sagittarius occupies either the 6th or 8th or 12th house, Jupiter becomes the Functional Malefic Planet for such an ascendant, for the rest of the others, Jupiter becomes a Functional Benefic Planet.

For Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo,Libra,Scorpio,Sagittarius,Aquarius and Pisces
ascendants, the Jupiter is a Functional Benefic planet.

For Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn ascendants, the Jupiter becomes a Functional
Malefic planet.

Jupiter will be transiting the sign of Gemini from 16 June 2001 and will continue to stay there upto 05 July 2002  .

During 05 August 2001 to 12 August 2001, the Jupiter will be moving over True Rahu which is already transiting Gemini since Sept 2000. This period is expected to bring to surface situations like scams in educational institutions, disturbances around the places and issues of religious/ spiritual importance, insurgency in the garb of protection of religious standings.

Being in Gemini, Jupiter will be aspecting its own MT sign of Sagittarius and
other two MT signs, namely of Venus and Saturn i.e. Libra and Aquarius. And
hence, in general, based on the functional nature of Jupiter in the Birth chart, the transit of Jupiter in Gemini will offer benefic or malefic effects for various ascendants . Here only those ascendants falling in odd numbered signs are briefly dealt with as below ( Even numbered signs covered separately )-:

For Aries, this transit will bring lucky initiatives in starting / expansion / stability of business activities, journeys for pilgrimage , blessings of father and guru, good relationship with younger siblings, better understanding and communication with spouse / business partner, signing / negotiating new contracts, etc.
