Planetary Transits for April 18 – April 24

Notes: The close conjunction of Saturn and Ketu for 28 weeks (April 5 — October 18) is likely to cause serious issues worldwide – and is beginning to show results.

Cases in point: Tornadoes, Extreme Weather Patterns, Notre Dame Cathedral Fire.

Saturn: land, laborers, black smoke, physical structures, mourning, and renunciates in black gowns.
Ketu: fire, inflammation, religion, spiritual pursuits and transformations.

Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

  • Sun transits its exaltation sign, Aries from 03:45 to 10:35°. Sun is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This should be helpful for leaders, physicians, administrators and governments.
  • Moon is waxing/waning and transits Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius. The full Moon is in Libra, April 19th at 7:11 p.m. CDT.
  • Mars transits Taurus, from 17:42 to 22:17°. Mars is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This should be favorable for the military, police, athletes, executives, firefighters and property matters.
  • Mercury transits its debilitation sign, Pisces from 07:03 to 16:39°. Mercury is in its debilitation sign until May 3rd.  Be patient with stocks, business, computers, finances, technology, communications and intellectual property.
  • Jupiter transits out of Sagittarius and back into Scorpio. Jupiter is weak in degrees until June 13th. This may cause issues with law, (Redacted Mueller Report) publishing, teaching, education, advisory roles and religious organizations (Fire at Notre Dame Cathedral). Jupiter is retrograde until August 11th.
  • Venus transits its exaltation sign, Pisces from 02:53 to 11:22°. This should be good for women, romance, luxuries, vehicles, medicine, legal matters, finance, entertainment, and the fine, healing and performing arts.

  • Rahu and Ketu transit Gemini and Sagittarius, respectively, from 27:28 to 26:37°. Those persons with planets in “odd” signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) between 25 to 28 degrees – or whenever Rahu or Ketu are within 5 degrees of anyone’s rising sign degree (in any house), or any planet (by aspect or conjunction) –- should be careful and patient.
