Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, a full moon in Rohini, and powerful movements through Taurus and Scorpio. This week brings a mix of renewal, nourishment, and deep inner work. In this episode, I share what to lean into, what to avoid, and how to work skillfully with these four notable Vedic transits.

We're moving out of the heaviness of the Mercury and Saturn retrogrades. All the inner planets are direct again, which brings fresh momentum and forward movement. Jupiter is the only planet turning inward, returning to Gemini and the nakshatra of Punarvasu. This is where renewal, learning, and spiritual optimism come back online. It's a time to revisit teachings, teachers, and wisdom paths that once helped you grow, and to explore what they can offer you now.

On December 4th we have a full moon in Rohini, right in the moon’s exaltation point. This creates one of the most nourishing full moons of the year. Good food, good company, grounding rituals, quality time with loved ones, and simple pleasures all go a long way. At the same time, full moons can heighten sensitivity and bring emotions closer to the surface, especially with the Sun and Mars in Scorpio. This week carries a strong theme of transformation through relationships, identity shifts, and the release of old patterns that no longer fit.

Jupiter’s shift back into Gemini on December 5th begins a months-long inner journey. For many people, 2025 has been a year of endings, completions, and intense karmic clearing. Jupiter in Punarvasu supports healing through perspective, learning, and revisiting the past with wiser eyes. If you’ve felt like you’re becoming a new version of yourself, this is the transit that helps you stabilize that growth.

If you want support planning your year ahead, you can join me for the Mindful New Year workshop on December 19th. We’ll look at your personal chart, your dasha cycles, and the major 2026 transits to help you get aligned with the new cycle beginning next year. You can also book a one-to-one reading or join the early access to the Vedic Astrology Mentorship opening in January.
