How to read the tables
Read one ascendant row at a time. The rising sign is the entire 1st house. Jupiter transiting Leo occupies whichever house Leo is for that lagna.
Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces. Those house lordships are fixed from the ascendant. They do not change because Jupiter is moving through Leo.
Leo is a friendly sign for Jupiter: the Sun is Jupiter's friend. It is not exaltation (Cancer), not own sign (Sagittarius and Pisces), and not debilitation (Capricorn). Capricorn rising with Jupiter transiting Leo is not Jupiter debilitated.
Dates use the Lahiri sidereal zodiac and Swiss Ephemeris. Times are Indian Standard Time, rounded to the day except the first ingress. Calculation notes are on /method.
Natal Jupiter in Leo vs this transit
A natal Jupiter in Leo is a fixed placement in the birth chart. This page is the 2026–2028 gochar: Jupiter moving through Leo for everyone at the same time, landing in different houses from different ascendants.
If you are looking up a birth-chart placement instead, start with the house Jupiter occupies at birth. Two existing tables are Jupiter in the 1st house and Jupiter in the 9th house.
What this page does not say
The house names the life area. A transit through that house is not an event, and this page does not turn the label into a forecast or a Sun-sign luck list. Dasha remains the main timing chapter; gochar is the trigger layer. A reading of your own chart still needs the birth time, and a finished period you can score, before any claim about what happens next.
