Jupiter’s Fast Transit – “Atichari” Movement

Jupiter’s transit through Gemini is classified as “Atichari,” signifying an exceptionally rapid movement. Typically, Jupiter resides in a zodiac sign for 12 to 13 months, but due to its accelerated pace, it will stay in Gemini for only five months before shifting into Cancer in October 2025. In astrology, such swift transitions are often considered unfavorable. Furthermore, Saturn will be positioned in Pisces, a sign ruled by Jupiter, raising concerns among astrologers about the potential astrological impacts of 2025.
