Who is having a Jupiter return in Leo
A Jupiter return happens when transiting Jupiter re-crosses the degree it held at your birth, so it is the Jupiter-in-Leo cohorts that meet theirs during this transit. The calendar windows below are the ephemeris-solved stretches when natal Jupiter was in Leo (a birthday on a boundary day depends on the exact minute of the ingress, which the calculator settles); each birth year has its own dated page.

What astrologers read in a Jupiter return in Leo
A Jupiter return is the moment transiting Jupiter comes back to the exact degree it held when you were born, roughly every twelve years. Astrologers read it as the opening of a new growth chapter: what you expand into over the following cycle tends to be set up in the months around the return. Tradition reads Jupiter in Leo as growth through being seen: creative confidence, warmth, play and leadership, and the risk of performing instead of creating. The house natal Jupiter occupies in your chart, which needs your birth time, is where the return shows up, and the calculator places it.
First pass, retrograde pass, final pass
Jupiter is retrograde about four months of every year. When the loop falls on your natal degree the return has three exact passes, months apart: the first opens the chapter, the retrograde pass reviews it, and the final pass settles it. When the loop falls elsewhere there is a single pass. The calculator dates each pass and the stretch in which Jupiter stays within a degree of its birth position.
