Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

  • Sun transits its exaltation sign, Aries from 10:35 to 17:24°. Sun is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This should be helpful for leaders, physicians, administrators and governments.
  • Moon is waning and transits Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
  • Mars transits Taurus, from 22:17 to 26:50°. 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 16:39 to 27:48°. Mercury is debilitated until May 3rd.  Be patient with stocks, business, computers, finances, technology, communications and intellectual property.
  • Jupiter transits Scorpio, from 29:54 to 29:31°. Jupiter is weak in degrees until June 13th. This may cause issues with law, religion, publishing, teaching, education, and advisory roles. Jupiter is retrograde until August 11th.
  • Venus transits its exaltation sign, Pisces from 11:22 to 19:51°. This should be good for women, romance, luxuries, vehicles, medicine, legal matters, finance, entertainment, and the fine, healing and performing arts.
  • Saturn transits Sagittarius, from 26:22 to 26:23°. This connects law, religion and education with the elderly, the poor and needy, immigrants, agriculture, manufacturing and working-class persons. Saturn is closely conjunct Ketu for 28 weeks — from April 5th to October 18th.  This rare and slow-moving transit is likely to cause significant problems worldwide – relative to the poor and needy, working-class persons, the elderly, agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, economies, the oil and gas industries, and domestic peace.
  • Rahu and Ketu transit Gemini and Sagittarius, respectively, from 26:37 to 26:10°. Those persons with planets in “odd” signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) between 24 to 28 degrees – or whenever Rahu or Ketu are within 5 degrees of a person’s rising sign degree (in any house), or any planet (by aspect or conjunction) –- should be careful and patient.
