Planetary Transits August 12 – August 18

Note: Be vigilant during August and September; as Saturn remains under the close influence of Rahu. The impact is relative to Covid-19, the masses, the elderly, immigrants, working-class persons, agriculture, manufacturing and the oil, gas and minerals industries – along with things of the earth, including fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, weather issues, etc. This may also relate to the Taliban situation in Afghanistan.

Sun transits out of Cancer and into Leo, August 16 at 1:47 p.m. CDT. Sun is weak in degrees until August 21. Presidents, leaders, physicians, administrators and government officials should get extra rest. Sun is under the seventh aspect of Jupiter, August 15-24. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA), should be careful and patient.

Sun in Leo

Moon is waxing and transits Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and into Sagittarius.

Mars transits Leo, from 14:15-18:41°. Mars is strong in degrees which is helpful for military, police, athletes, surgeons, executives, fire fighters, and property matters. Mars is however conjunct Mercury August 14-23. Aries, Libra, and Aquarius rising sign persons, companies and countries are likely under stress.

Mercury transits Leo, from 6:23-18:45°. Mercury is strong in degrees which helps support stocks, finances, business, technology, communications and intellectual property. Mercury is, however, conjunct Mars — August 14-23. Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies and countries are likely under stress.

Jupiter transits Aquarius, from 4:05-3:10°. Jupiter is retrograde until October 18. The adverse effects are primarily for Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons — but only when Jupiter is within five degrees of their rising sign degree (in any house) or another planet by aspect or conjunction, in either the birth chart or transit chart. Jupiter is under the seventh aspect of Sun, August 15-24. Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries should be careful and patient.

Venus transits its debilitation sign, Virgo, from 1:08-9:24°. Venus is week in debilitation until September 5th. Take care of the women in your life and be patient with fashion, design, medicine, finance, luxuries, entertainment, and the fine, healing and performing arts.

Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn from 15:17-14:47°. Saturn is in retrograde motion until October 10th. Retrograde Saturn is adverse primarily only for Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA) – but only when Saturn is within five degrees of their rising sign degree (in any house) or another planet by aspect or conjunction, in either the birth chart or transit chart. Saturn remains under the ninth aspect of Rahu through September (see notes above).

Rahu and Ketu transit Taurus and Scorpio, respectively, from 13:36-13:21° Rahu and Ketu are no longer stationary in the 16° range. This should be helpful, but continue to exercise patience through August. People, companies and countries with a rising sign between 11 and 15 degrees — or with any planets in EVEN signs (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 — Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces) in these same degrees, should exercise a great deal of care and patience.
