Jupiter Asta/Maudhya in Cancer

Jupiter Asta/Maudhya (combust) in Cancer

Jupiter (Guru) has transited to Cancer from Gemini on 26th May, 2026 and will be there for approximately a year (17th June, 2027). Jupiter is exalted in Cancer.

It has also become asta/maudhya in this Rasi from 15th July and will remain so till 13th August.

There are two aspects to be considered at the same time - Ucca/exaltation and asta/combust.

Exaltation

Every planet has a sign where it is in exaltation and another sign typically the opposite side of the chart where it is debilitated. When it is exalted, the planet has the highest strength and is likely to give full effects. It is, of course, dependent on the strength or weakness of the planet in the native's horoscope, how much of the effect is felt.

Combust

A planet is said to be combust when it is hidden in the sky by the Sun's light. Typically, the planet does not have any strength during this period and its effects are considered to be weak.

Jupiter's effect till 13th August

Jupiter is extremely strong during its transit in Cancer. However, during the asta at this point, it is extremely weak. The effects of Jupiter might be neutralised and will likely not be felt at this time or it may give mixed results.

Jupiter's effect after 13th August 2026

Once the asta period is over, the effects of Jupiter is likely to be very strong.

Interpretation

According to most astrologers, if Jupiter is weak in the native's horoscope, the negative effects are likely to compound once the asta period is over. The opposite is true if Jupiter is strong in the native's horoscope.

Jupiter represents stability, children, teachers, and learning. These aspects are likely to be affected in the native's life.

Remedies

Here are some remedies that can be used to strengthen Jupiter:

• Brown chickpeas - this can be donated
• Yellow/gold colour - Wear clothes of this colour or donate clothes of this colour to the needy.
• Wearing topaz stones - Typically, it is set in gold and worn as a ring, locket or bracelet. However, it is important to note that the carats of gold and weight thereof as well as the carats of topaz must be carefully decided by an astrologer who is well versed in the subject. This is decided based on the placement of Jupiter, who is aspecting Jupiter, Rulership of the sign where Jupiter is located,strength/weakness of Jupiter as well as all of the above factors with respect to others planet. If the weights or carats are not suitable to the native, the effects can be negative.
