A powerful yoga appears in the sky starting Dec. 28, 2023

A powerful Yoga in the sky occurs when Mars moves into Sagittarius on December 28, 2023 and it helps create a special yoga of planets called a Parivatna Yoga. See teaching about Parivatna yoga in this blog post.

A Parivatna Yoga is 4 times stronger than a single planetary yoga in Vedic Astrology. 

Planetary Yogas occur when the houses of action or karma are linked with purpose or strengthen the effects of the planet in a person’s life.

A Parivatna or Exchange Yoga occurs when two planets exchange houses or the rulers of two houses are found in each other’s house. 

There is a special Yoga in the sky from Dec 28 – Feb 5, 2024 between Jupiter and Mars. This can bring protection, opportunities, expansive deals, important connections or introductions, justice, big ideas and plenty of energy to act to most of the ascendants in the zodiac.

When 2 planets are in each other’s house, this yields more powerful results because it brings about a four-fold effect. Each planet acts as if it is in its ‘own’ house and also delivers the results or karmas of the planet in its original house. This unique combination links the houses through constellations or signs and also through house rulership.

Jupiter and Mars Exchange places and amplify their energy in 2024

At the end of December 2023, when Jupiter is in Aries and Mars is in Sagittarius a Parivatna Yoga is created expanding the influence and positive influence that both Mars and Jupiter can have on over half the planet.

Jupiter and Mars are friends in Vedic Astrology and so when they are in each other’s house, they amplify the positive effects of each planet even more.

Mars under Jupiter’s influence

When Jupiter “shines” on Mars, as it does from Aries to Sagittarius in Vedic Astrology, it brings benefic, kind, calming, and magnanimous positive effects to Mars.

When Jupiter connects or uplifts Mars, then Mars becomes more sattvic rather than rajasic. Jupiter helps enlighten Mars and keep it from becoming pushy when Jupiter shines on Mars. Jupiter’s influence on Mars helps us stay focused on actions for good and advocacy and healing of our fellow citizens and the planet.

Anyone who’s ascendant, Sun or Moon sign are Aries, Sagittarius, Leo, Cancer, Pisces, Gemini, or Libra will feel the positive effects even more than the other zodiac signs.

Capricorn will feel 50% of the positive effects of this particular exchange between Aries and Sagittarius.

Jupiter brings the karmic results as if it resides in both Aries and Sagittarius.

It also lights up and strengthens the effects of the house number that Aries and Sagittarius are in this example. Mars brings the karmic results of Mars in Sagittarius and also Mars in Aries.

This unique and exponentially powerful yoga or “Super Maha Yoga” as I call them of Jupiter in Aries and Mars in Sagittarius is even more pumped up because Jupiter also sends supportive energy to Sagittarius, the natural 9th house, and the Year of the Dragon energy from Jupiter in Aries, while also supporting Leo, and Libra with its ‘glance’ or dhristi.

With the exchange of energy, Jupiter acts as if it is in Sagittarius, and sends positive energy to Aries, Gemini, and Leo again.

This example of an exchange of Jupiter-Mars Yoga ends up supercharging Aries and Sagittarians with leadership, advocacy, vision, and an ability to act and implement with immense power.

You will notice that the third fire sign, Leo, also gains energy and support, and receives Jupiter’s energy from both of its locations.

This support can feel like opportunities open easily, luck, feeling supported or finding answers easily, people are attracted or magnetized to you, or the area of life that Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo represent in your birth chart.

This VERY special exchange yoga is in the heavens from Dec. 28, 2023 through February 5, 2024.

Parivatna Yogas are sometimes powerful combinations in a birth chart and are unique to Vedic Astrology. No other form of astrology describes what qualities and karmas derive when two planets exchange houses.
