Jupiter's nakshatra transit adds depth to the annual sign change. Since Jupiter spends about 13 months in a sign, it passes through 3-4 nakshatras during that period. Each nakshatra paints Jupiter's blessings with a different brush — Jupiter in Pushya (its exaltation nakshatra) is considered supremely auspicious, while Jupiter in Ardra brings a more challenging, transformative energy. Tracking Jupiter's nakshatra helps time Puja, Yagya, and spiritual initiations.
