What this transit means
Jupiter spends about a year in each sign. In the classical gochar, Jupiter in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th or 11th house from the Moon is supportive — growth, learning and family occasions; in the other houses things take more effort.
A transit is shared by everyone with the same Moon sign — one person in twelve — so your own chart, lagna and running dasha decide more.
