(Interpretations based on the Systemsʻ Approach to Vedic Astrology)
Notes: Saturn is within three degrees of the ninth aspect of Rahu, March 23rd to Sept. 19th. Saturn represents the masses, immigrants, working-class persons, the elderly, and the poor and needy – along with manufacturing and agriculture. Rahu represents viruses, poisons, addictions, pandemics, and calamities. Health care officials worry over another wave of Covid-19.
Jupiter recently completed a long-term transit through its debilitation sign, Capricorn. It is now in Aquarius until September 14th. This should be an improvement for nine of the twelve rising signs. Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries, (including USA) should be careful and patient, as Jupiter is transiting their 8th, 6th, and 12th (inauspicious) houses.

Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week
Sun transits out of Pisces and into its exaltation sign, Aries, on April 13th at 4:02 p.m. CST. Sun is weak in degrees until April 18th. Presidents, leaders, physicians, administrators and government officials should get extra rest.
Moon is waning/waxing and transits Aquarius, Pisces, Aries and into Taurus. The new Moon is in Pisces on April 11th at 9:30 p.m. CST.

Jupiter transits Aquarius from 00:27 to 01:42°. Jupiter is co-dependent on its dispositor (landlord), Saturn, which remains under the close 9th aspect of Rahu until April 28th. There is still some vulnerability with law, judges, jurors, religion, morality, education, husbands, children, publishing and advisory roles.
Venus transits out of its exaltation sign, Pisces, and into Aries, on April 9th at 7:59 p.m. CST. Venus is outside the orb of influence of other planets, but is weak in degrees until April 13th. Be patient with women, medicine, finance, luxuries, entertainment, and the fine, healing and performing arts.
Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn, from 17:45 to 18:12°. Saturn remains under the close 9th aspect of Rahu until April 28th. This is likely to cause issues for the masses, the elderly, the poor and needy, working-class persons, manufacturing and agriculture. Continue to safeguard against Covid-19.
Rahu and Ketu transit Taurus and Scorpio, respectively, from 18:10 to 17:18°. Persons, companies and countries with a rising sign between 16 and 19 degrees — or with any planets in even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces) in these same degrees, should be careful and patient.
