It is known as the 'teacher of Hindu gods' in Indian mythology. The Romans called it the supreme god who controls the universe and is known as the 'king of heavens’. In the Vedas and Puranas, it was seen as the most beneficial planet that hails luck and fortune. Every civilization has seen it as ruling different spheres of one's life -- religious, spiritual, education, intellect, wealth, family life, morality, charity, meditation and even one's honesty.

So when Jupiter transits to Gemini on May 31 at 6.46 am it is certainly an auspicious move.

Jupiter will stay in the Gemini zodiac sign zone for 12 months and 15 days -- till June 19, 2014. This transit would have its varying effect on people, according to the position of Jupiter in the birth chart. The effect could be positive and negative. The planet also has the benevolent power to defuse evil effects of a malefic in transit.

According to the Indian astrology, this transition augurs well for those with moonsigns like Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra and Aquarius. Astrological calculations say this will benefit them in job and business. Calculations also say that Librans, who are going through mental stress, will find relief.

Those with signs like Virgo, Capricorn, Sagittatius, Gemini and Scorpio need to exercise caution, especially about their health. These also say legal documents should be carefully checked. Effort should be made to avoid dispute with elders in the family.
