The short answer: in 2027 Jupiter (Guru, Brihaspati) moves through three signs in a single year. It begins the year retrograde in Leo, slips back into Cancer, its sign of exaltation, on 25 January 2027, turns direct there on 13 April, re-enters Leo on 26 June and enters Virgo on 26 November 2027.
Every one of the twelve Moon signs gets at least one good Jupiter window this year. Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces are best placed from 25 January to 26 June. Aries, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius come into their own from 26 June to 26 November. Taurus and Leo get their turn when Jupiter reaches Virgo on 26 November, which also opens a fresh good stretch for Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces.
All dates below are calculated with the sidereal Lahiri zodiac, the same one the AstroSamay app uses. Dates can differ by a day between panchangs.

Why 2027 is an unusual Jupiter year
In most years Jupiter spends roughly a year in one sign, so a whole year carries one Guru theme. 2027 is different. Because Jupiter turned retrograde soon after entering Leo, it walks backwards into Cancer for five months, then forwards through Leo again, and finally into Virgo. Three signs, four windows, one year.
Two things make the Cancer stretch special:
- Exaltation. Cancer is where Jupiter is exalted, the sign where Guru expresses knowledge, faith, generosity and growth most fully. Whatever house Cancer occupies from your Moon sign gets Jupiter at its most capable.
- Retrograde, then direct. From 25 January to 13 April Jupiter is retrograde in Cancer. Retrograde Jupiter favours review: going back to an unfinished course, a stalled proposal, an old promise to yourself. After 13 April it moves direct and matters started earlier can move forward.
If you were waiting for Jupiter's Leo results, they do not disappear. They pause from 25 January and return from 26 June.
Jupiter and Ketu together in Cancer (25 January to 26 June)
Ketu entered Cancer on 5 December 2026 and stays there through all of 2027. From 25 January to 26 June, Jupiter sits beside it.
Explained simply: Guru is the teacher, wisdom and meaning. Ketu is detachment, intuition and letting go. When the two meet, the mind turns inward. Many people notice:
- a stronger pull towards mantra, meditation, scripture, pilgrimage or astrology itself
- less interest in things that once felt urgent, and a clearer sense of what actually matters
- good intuition, especially in research, teaching, healing and spiritual work
- a wish to simplify, give things away, or step back from noise
None of this is something to fear. The one sensible caution is pace: if you feel like dropping everything, let the feeling settle for a few weeks before acting on it. Give the energy a channel instead: a daily few minutes of japa, a course you have postponed, regular seva. This combination is felt most in the area of life ruled by the house Cancer occupies in your own chart.
Guru Gochar 2027 for all 12 rashis
Read your row by your Moon sign (rashi), not your Sun sign. If you are not sure of it, find your Moon sign here. The numbers are the house Jupiter occupies counted from your Moon sign. Classically Jupiter gives its best results in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th houses and is quieter in the others.
| Moon sign | Leo: 1 to 25 Jan and 26 Jun to 26 Nov | Cancer: 25 Jan to 26 Jun | Virgo: 26 Nov to 31 Dec | Strongest stretch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aries (Mesh) | 5th: children, studies | 4th: home, property | 6th: work routine | 26 Jun to 26 Nov |
| Taurus (Vrishabh) | 4th: home, mother | 3rd: effort, siblings | 5th: children, learning | 26 Nov onwards |
| Gemini (Mithun) | 3rd: courage, writing | 2nd: savings, family | 4th: home, vehicle | 25 Jan to 26 Jun |
| Cancer (Kark) | 2nd: income, family | 1st: self, with Ketu | 3rd: initiative | 26 Jun to 26 Nov |
| Leo (Singh) | 1st: self, health habits | 12th: travel, spending | 2nd: wealth, speech | 26 Nov onwards |
| Virgo (Kanya) | 12th: retreat, expenses | 11th: gains, friends | 1st: self, confidence | 25 Jan to 26 Jun |
| Libra (Tula) | 11th: gains, wishes | 10th: career duty | 12th: spiritual, travel | 26 Jun to 26 Nov |
| Scorpio (Vrishchik) | 10th: work load | 9th: luck, teachers | 11th: gains | 25 Jan to 26 Jun, and 26 Nov onwards |
| Sagittarius (Dhanu) | 9th: fortune, dharma | 8th: research, inner change | 10th: career | 26 Jun to 26 Nov |
| Capricorn (Makar) | 8th: quiet growth | 7th: marriage, partners | 9th: fortune | 25 Jan to 26 Jun, and 26 Nov onwards |
| Aquarius (Kumbh) | 7th: marriage, partners | 6th: service, effort | 8th: research | 26 Jun to 26 Nov |
| Pisces (Meen) | 6th: work, discipline | 5th: children, studies | 7th: marriage | 25 Jan to 26 Jun, and 26 Nov onwards |
One honest limit before you read further: transits from the Moon sign are the same for everyone born with that Moon sign, roughly one person in twelve. What 2027 actually does in your life depends on your own dasha and your own birth chart, which a Moon-sign table cannot see.
Aries (Mesh)
Jupiter in your 5th (Leo) is your best Guru placement of the year: studies, exams, creative work, romance and matters of children are supported in January and again from 26 June to 26 November. The Cancer months put Jupiter in your 4th, a good time to settle home, renovate or care for your mother. From 26 November Jupiter in the 6th asks for steady work routines.
Taurus (Vrishabh)
The first half of the year is about effort: Jupiter in the 3rd rewards writing, selling, short travel and support from siblings, but results come from your own push. Leo puts Jupiter in your 4th, good for home and family comfort. Your best stretch arrives on 26 November, when Jupiter enters your 5th: learning, children and creative plans open up.
Gemini (Mithun)
From 25 January to 26 June exalted Jupiter is in your 2nd house, one of its best positions: family harmony, savings, sweet speech and food-related or teaching income are favoured. Use these months to build a habit of saving. The Leo months in your 3rd ask for initiative, and from 26 November Jupiter in the 4th turns attention to home.
Cancer (Kark)
Exalted Jupiter sits on your own Moon sign from 25 January to 26 June, beside Ketu. This is a reflective, spiritually rich period: wisdom grows, the ego quietens, and teachers or elders may guide you. The more practical good news comes from 26 June, when Jupiter in your 2nd supports income, family events and savings until 26 November.
Leo (Singh)
Jupiter in your 12th during the Cancer months favours pilgrimage, travel abroad, charity and rest, and asks you to keep an eye on spending. From 26 June Jupiter is back on your Moon sign, which lifts optimism and invites better daily habits. Your clearest Guru blessing comes from 26 November, when Jupiter enters your 2nd: wealth, family and speech.
Virgo (Kanya)
Your best window is early: from 25 January to 26 June exalted Jupiter is in your 11th house of gains, friends and fulfilled wishes. Networks, elder siblings and long-pending hopes are supported. The Leo months in the 12th suit study, travel and spiritual practice. On 26 November Jupiter arrives on your own Moon sign.
Libra (Tula)
The Leo windows are yours: Jupiter in the 11th supports income, recognition and friendships in January and from 26 June to 26 November. During the Cancer months Jupiter in the 10th brings more responsibility at work; carry it with patience and it builds reputation. From 26 November the 12th house turns your mind towards travel and inner work.
Scorpio (Vrishchik)
You have two good Guru stretches. From 25 January to 26 June exalted Jupiter in your 9th supports fortune, higher studies, a guru or mentor, and long journeys. From 26 November Jupiter in the 11th brings gains and helpful friends. In between, the Leo months put Jupiter in the 10th: a heavier but productive work phase.
Sagittarius (Dhanu)
Jupiter is your own ruling planet, and its Leo windows in your 9th are a blessing for faith, mentors, higher learning and luck through elders. The Cancer months in the 8th are quieter: good for research, paperwork and private study rather than big risks. From 26 November Jupiter in the 10th brings career focus.
Capricorn (Makar)
From 25 January to 26 June exalted Jupiter sits in your 7th house of marriage and partnership, the most talked-about Guru placement for those seeking a match or a business partner. From 26 November Jupiter in the 9th supports fortune and dharma. The Leo months in the 8th are a slower, inward phase.
Aquarius (Kumbh)
Jupiter in your 7th during the Leo windows supports marriage talks, partnerships and public dealings in January and again from 26 June to 26 November. The Cancer months in the 6th favour hard work, competitive exams and service. From 26 November Jupiter in the 8th suits study and quiet preparation.
Pisces (Meen)
Jupiter is your ruling planet too, and 2027 treats you well. From 25 January to 26 June exalted Jupiter in your 5th favours children, education, creativity and devotion. From 26 November Jupiter in your 7th supports marriage and partnership. The Leo months in the 6th reward routine and service.

Marriage yoga 2027: where Jupiter touches your 7th house
People search for "marriage yoga 2027" because Jupiter's transit over the 7th house from the Moon, or its gaze (drishti) on it, is a classic supportive signal for marriage talks. Jupiter looks at the 5th, 7th and 9th signs from wherever it sits, so each window touches four Moon signs' 7th house:
| Window | Jupiter in your 7th | Jupiter's gaze on your 7th |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 25 Jan, and 26 Jun to 26 Nov (Leo) | Aquarius | Gemini, Leo, Libra |
| 25 Jan to 26 Jun (Cancer) | Capricorn | Taurus, Cancer, Virgo |
| 26 Nov to 31 Dec (Virgo) | Pisces | Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio |
Read this as encouragement, not a promise. A supportive Jupiter makes proposals easier to discuss and families more open, but no transit decides a wedding on its own. If your sign is not in this table, it says nothing against marriage in 2027. Marriage timing comes from the dasha you are running, the 7th house and its lord in your own chart, and Venus. A Manglik check and proper kundli matching matter more than any yearly transit.
Jupiter for marriage, children, education and wealth
Guru is the karaka (natural signifier) of the things families care about most:
- Marriage: Jupiter shows the blessing on a match, and in traditional reading the husband in a woman's chart. The 7th house is the key.
- Children: Jupiter is the putra karaka. The 5th house and Jupiter's condition in the birth chart describe children and the timing of family growth.
- Education: the 4th house shows schooling, the 5th intelligence and exams, the 9th higher studies and teachers. A Guru transit through the 5th or 9th from the Moon is a good time to begin a course.
- Wealth: the 2nd house (savings, family wealth) and the 11th (income, gains) are where a Jupiter transit is felt as prosperity.
Why your own dasha decides the real timing
A transit is like the weather; your dasha is the season of your life. Two Capricorns can both have Jupiter in the 7th from 25 January, yet one marries that spring and the other changes jobs, because one is running a Venus period and the other a Saturn period. The houses Jupiter rules in your birth chart, and its strength there, decide whether this year's Guru brings marriage, a child, a promotion or a new teacher.
That is exactly what the AstroSamay Kundli and Numerology Report 2027 reads for one person. Prepared by Pandit Ji for your exact birth date, time and place, it covers your Vimshottari dasha, then 2027 month by month (chapter 7), the dates that matter to you (chapter 8), career and money in 2027 (chapter 9), and marriage, love and family in 2027 (chapter 10). Every Jupiter and Saturn change in it is calculated for your chart, not copied from a Moon-sign table. Curious first? A free kundli shows where Jupiter sits in your birth chart.
Simple Thursday remedies for Guru
You do not need expensive gemstones or elaborate pujas to strengthen your relationship with Jupiter. Thursday (Guruvar) practices that cost little or nothing:
- Guru mantra: chant "ॐ बृं बृहस्पतये नमः" (Om Brim Brihaspataye Namah) 108 times on Thursday morning, or 11 times daily if 108 feels like too much.
- Respect for teachers: touch the feet of a teacher, parent or elder, call an old teacher, or help a child with their studies. In Jyotish this is the most direct Guru remedy there is.
- Yellow daan: on Thursday, give chana dal, turmeric, bananas, jaggery or a yellow cloth to a temple or someone in need.
- Keep your word: Jupiter rules dharma. Honouring promises and speaking truthfully is a remedy in itself.
During the Jupiter and Ketu months (25 January to 26 June), a few minutes of quiet japa or meditation each day suits the sky especially well.

Is Jupiter with Ketu in Cancer bad?
No. Jupiter and Ketu together from 25 January to 26 June 2027 bring a spiritual, reflective mood, good intuition and detachment from what no longer matters. The only advice is to avoid sudden, impulsive renunciations and to give the energy a channel such as japa or study.
Will I get married in 2027 if Jupiter is in my 7th house?
A Jupiter transit over or onto your 7th house from the Moon is a supportive sign for marriage talks, not a guarantee. Actual timing depends on your dasha and your own birth chart, which a personal report reads month by month.

On Thursdays chant "ॐ बृं बृहस्पतये नमः" 108 times, offer yellow daan such as chana dal or turmeric, and show respect to your teachers and elders.
