Guru Ast 2026: In Vedic astrology, Devguru Jupiter is considered to be the planet responsible for knowledge, religion, fortune, children, marriage, prosperity and respect. Jupiter is considered to have a special role in any auspicious or auspicious work. In such a situation, when Jupiter sets, its effect is seen not only on the 12 zodiac signs but also on marriages, house warming and other religious functions.
This year, on July 15, 2026, Devguru Jupiter is going to set in Cancer. According to Dr. Anish Vyas, Director, Astrologer, Pal Balaji Astrology Institute, Jaipur-Jodhpur, with the setting of Jupiter, many auspicious works will come to a halt and some zodiac signs will have to take special precautions.
Dr. Anish Vyas explains that Jupiter will remain in Cancer from June 2 to October 31, 2026. During this period, Jupiter will set in the east at 11:10 am on July 15 and will rise in the west on August 10. In astrology, this setting period of Jupiter is considered very important from religious and social point of view.
What is the meaning of Jupiter setting?
According to astrologer Dr. Anish Vyas, in Vedic astrology, when a planet comes too close to the Sun, its glow is not visible. This situation is called the setting of the planet. (Combust) It is said to be. It is believed that at this time the planet is not able to give results with its full auspicious power. Since Jupiter is considered the guru of the gods and a symbol of auspiciousness, its setting also affects religious, social and family life.
Why do marriages and other auspicious functions stop?
In astrology, the presence of Jupiter is considered very auspicious in auspicious activities like marriage, house warming, yagyopaveet, naming ceremony, mundan and temple consecration. Due to the setting of Jupiter, it is advised to avoid doing these tasks.
Meanwhile, Chaturmas will also start from July 25 along with Devshayani Ekadashi. During Chaturmas, Lord Vishnu goes into Yoga Nidra and according to religious beliefs, most of the auspicious works including marriage are not done during this period also. After this, re-marriage and other auspicious works will begin with the awakening of Lord Vishnu on Devuthani Ekadashi on 21st November.
Why does Jupiter have special importance in marriage?
Astrologer Dr. Anish Vyas explains that in Vedic astrology, while deciding the time of marriage, not only the date and constellation, but also the transit position of Sun, Moon and Jupiter are taken special care. This is called triple purification.
According to him, if at the time of marriage the Sun, Moon or Jupiter are transiting in inauspicious houses then the auspicious time for marriage is not considered appropriate. This is the reason why there has been a tradition of postponing marriage and other major rituals during the period when Jupiter sets.
What will be the impact on religious life and society?
Jupiter is considered a symbol of religion, knowledge and morality. Therefore, when they set, people may be more inclined towards material comforts rather than spirituality. You may feel less interested in religious activities and there may be a need to be extra careful regarding family health and relationships. However, this effect may vary according to the horoscope of the person and the position of the planets.
Impact may also be seen on the market and economy:
Astrologer Dr. Anish Vyas says that the planet Jupiter is also considered to be related to wealth, prosperity and economic stability. Therefore, fluctuations in gold prices may be seen during the period of Jupiter setting. There may be instability in the stock market and big investments should be made thoughtfully. He believes that during this time it would be better to avoid taking hasty financial decisions.
Which zodiac signs will have to be most cautious?
Jupiter setting can have the greatest impact on people of Cancer, Sagittarius and Pisces zodiac signs. People with these zodiac signs should avoid starting a new business, investing large amounts of money and taking risky decisions during this period. Maintaining distance from family disputes and maintaining restraint on speech will also be beneficial.
