3.00pm Keynote address, Sanjay Rath, Jupiter & Saturn: The Jovian Years Demystified

The first approximation of Jupiterian transit in the zodiac gives 12 years while that for Saturn is 30 years. The lowest common multiple for these two figures is 60, which is the total period of the jovian cycle.

Let us study the jovian years keeping this cycle in mind, and the correction that it needs as this is an approximation. What is the implication of Jupiter and Saturn being in trikoṇa, kendra or such bhāva from each other?
