My appraisal is in April and I am thinking of resigning after it. Is the next six months a good time for me to change jobs?
Please send your birth date, exact time and place. I will list your antardasha dates for the next year, then see when Jupiter and the Sun pass favourable houses from your Moon, and we can compare that with April.
Short answer
The right time to change jobs, in Vedic astrology, is a stretch when your dasha lords connect to the 10th or 11th house and Jupiter or the Sun transits a favourable house from your Moon. Astrologers read it as a window of months, set beside your appraisal and notice period. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers map these windows by chat or call, online from anywhere.
What are the key facts about job change?
| Answer | |
|---|---|
| The question | When, in the next one to two years, a move suits your chart and your situation |
| Main timing tools | Dasha and antardasha, Jupiter's sign from your Moon, the Sun's monthly transit 12 |
| Jupiter's next sign changes | Into Leo on 31 October 2026, back to Cancer on 25 January 2027, into Leo again on 26 June 2027 (calculated) |
| What weakens a window | A sub-period lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the main period lord, in Phaladeepika's rule 2 |
| What to bring | Exact birth details, your appraisal month, your notice period and any interview dates |
| Session on Kismo | From ₹15 a minute, 5 free minutes in your first session, online from anywhere in India and abroad |
What decides whether now is the right time for my job change?
- The sub-period running now. Phaladeepika says a bhukti lord placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the dasha lord gives unhappy results, and elsewhere good ones 2. So two people in the same dasha can get opposite readings for the same year.
- Jupiter's sign from your Moon. Phaladeepika counts Jupiter as good in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th from the Moon, unless a planet sits in the matching vedha house 1.
- The Sun's month in your 10th. The same chapter reads the Sun's transit of the 10th from the Moon as bringing a major undertaking to completion 1. That gives a one-month window each year.
- Your calendar at work. An appraisal payout, a bonus vesting date or a long notice period can move the practical start of any window by one to three months.
When does Jupiter change sign in 2026 to 2029, and for which Moon signs is that favourable?
Jupiter changes sidereal sign ten times between June 2026 and August 2029, and three of those are retrograde returns to the previous sign. Dates are calculated from public astronomical data with the open-source astronomia library, Lahiri ayanamsa, Indian time.
| Jupiter in | Dates | Moon signs for which this is the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th or 11th [1] |
|---|---|---|
| Cancer | 2 Jun 2026 to 31 Oct 2026; 25 Jan 2027 to 26 Jun 2027 | Gemini, Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo |
| Leo | 31 Oct 2026 to 25 Jan 2027; 26 Jun 2027 to 26 Nov 2027; 28 Feb 2028 to 24 Jul 2028 | Cancer, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Libra |
| Virgo | 26 Nov 2027 to 28 Feb 2028; 24 Jul 2028 to 26 Dec 2028; 29 Mar 2029 to 25 Aug 2029 | Leo, Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio |
| Libra | 26 Dec 2028 to 29 Mar 2029; from 25 Aug 2029 | Virgo, Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius |
Method: Jupiter's apparent geocentric longitude was sampled daily from VSOP87 and bisected at each sign change. Dates can differ by a day from a printed panchang, which may use a different ayanamsa.
When do people in India actually change jobs, and what does a switch pay?
Many Indian professionals start looking around the appraisal season, once they see their raise. In foundit's June 2026 survey of more than 2,500 professionals, 52% said they were actively looking during the appraisal season 3.
The raise they were comparing against was modest. More than half of the appraised respondents got an increment below 10% 3. Aon puts the average actual increase in India at 9% in 2026, and projects 9.1% for 2027 4.
Sector matters as much as month. Michael Page's India Salary Guide 2026 projects the highest average increments in global capability centres, at 10.4% 5. The same guide puts chemicals at 8.3% and traditional manufacturing near 9.5% 5.
A Kismo astrologer can map your dasha and transit windows and say which months look steadier. No astrologer can tell you your appraisal number, the hiring freeze at a company, or what your notice clause allows; for a contract question, ask a lawyer.
In which month of 2027 is the Sun in the 10th house from my Moon sign?
The Sun passes the 10th sign from your Moon once a year for about 30 days. Phaladeepika links that transit with completing a major undertaking 1. Sign entry dates are calculated for 2027 with the astronomia library, Lahiri ayanamsa.
| Your Moon sign | Sun in your 10th | 2027 dates |
|---|---|---|
| Aries | Capricorn | 14 Jan to 13 Feb |
| Taurus | Aquarius | 13 Feb to 15 Mar |
| Gemini | Pisces | 15 Mar to 14 Apr |
| Cancer | Aries | 14 Apr to 15 May |
| Leo | Taurus | 15 May to 15 Jun |
| Virgo | Gemini | 15 Jun to 17 Jul |
| Libra | Cancer | 17 Jul to 17 Aug |
| Scorpio | Leo | 17 Aug to 17 Sep |
| Sagittarius | Virgo | 17 Sep to 18 Oct |
| Capricorn | Libra | 18 Oct to 17 Nov |
| Aquarius | Scorpio | 17 Nov to 16 Dec |
| Pisces | Sagittarius | 16 Dec 2027 to mid-Jan 2028 |
What should I check before I time my resignation?
- Write down your appraisal month, bonus date and notice period, so any window can be shifted to fit them.
- Ask the astrologer for antardasha dates for the next 24 months, not only the current one.
- Mark the months when Jupiter is in a favourable house from your Moon, using the table above.
- Start applications a notice period before the window you want, because interviews take time.
- Keep three to six months of expenses saved before resigning without an offer, and ask a financial adviser if money is tight.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: Jupiter's transit alone decides the year of a job change.
Phaladeepika makes Jupiter's good result depend on the vedha house being empty 1. Most astrologers also need the dasha to agree before naming a window.
Belief: A good period means you can resign first and find a job later.
No chart reading guarantees an offer, and a window only marks when effort is read as better supported. Most astrologers advise lining up an offer before resigning, whatever the period.

Questions people ask
Is 2027 a good year for me to change my job according to astrology?
It depends on your own dasha and Moon sign, not the year. Jupiter moves through Cancer, Leo and Virgo in 2027, so by the classical rule every Moon sign gets a favourable Jupiter for some weeks or months. Whether it suits you depends on your antardasha lord and your 10th house, so the answer needs your exact birth chart.
Which month is best to switch jobs in India?
In practice, many people switch right after the appraisal, often April to July, once the raise is known. Astrologically, many look at the month the Sun passes the 10th from your Moon. Neither is a rule. Line up the appraisal payout, the notice period and your chart's window, and choose the earliest month where all three fit.
How do astrologers time a job change from the dasha?
Astrologers list your mahadasha and antardasha dates and check which houses each lord rules and occupies. A sub-period lord linked to the 10th, 6th or 11th is read as supporting work changes. Phaladeepika also says a sub-period lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the main period lord gives troubled results.
Can Jupiter's transit bring me a new job?
Jupiter's transit alone cannot bring a job, in most astrologers' reading. Classical rules read Jupiter as good in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th from the Moon, but they weigh it with the dasha and the vedha houses. Use a favourable Jupiter period as a time to apply widely and network, not as a reason to wait.
How long is a good window for a job change in astrology?
A window usually runs a few months, set by the antardasha and a slow transit overlapping. The Sun gives a one-month signal each year, Jupiter usually stays in one sign about a year, and a sub-period can last from 3.6 months to over three years. The overlap of these is what astrologers call a window.
How much does a timing session for a job change cost on Kismo?
A timing session on Kismo costs the astrologer's per-minute rate, from ₹15 a minute, and the first session has 5 free minutes with no card needed. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages. You pay from a wallet with a minimum top-up of ₹100, and only the minutes used are charged.
An astrologer told me to resign on a fixed date or lose my luck. Should I worry?
No, a warning that you will lose your luck is a pressure tactic, not a classical rule. A good reading gives a window and leaves the date to you and your notice period. On Kismo, an astrologer who pressures you or asks for money outside the app can be reported, and a person handles it.
