Planetary Transits for August 15th — September 14th

Astroview Report

Planetary Transits for August 15th — September 14th

(Interpretations based on the Systems’ Approach to Vedic Astrology)

Note:  This report is published on the 15th of each month. This coincides with the movement of the Sun, which changes signs around the middle of each month – and follows the same pattern every year. “Watching the Sun” is an advanced technique – and a helpful guide to your monthly activities.

Notable Transits:

Sun is in its own sign, Leo, which is more powerful than being in its exaltation sign, Aries. Sun, in Leo, is not co-dependent on any other planet. Sun, in Aries, however, is co-dependent on the strength of its dispositor (landlord) Mars, which may be weak on some account – thus undermining the strength of the Sun.

Planetary Transits

Sun transits its own sign, Leo, from August 16th until September 16th at 9:12 a.m. This should be a favorable month for leaders, presidents, physicians, administrators, and government officials worldwide. Sun is under the seventh aspect of Saturn, Sept. 3 – 12. This is favorable for nine rising signs. However, Cancer, Virgo, and Pisces rising signs should be careful and patient.

Moon transits Scorpio — through the full zodiac and into Capricorn. The full Moon is in Aquarius on August 19th at 1:25 p.m. CDT. This will also be both a supermoon (at its closest point to Earth, which can make it appear larger than usual) and a seasonal blue moon, (when there are four full moons in an astronomical season — between an equinox and a solstice — instead of the usual three, making this full Moon a rare event.

Mars transits out of Taurus and into Gemini, August 26th at 4:55 a.m. CDT, where it will remain until October 20th. Mars is closely conjunct Jupiter until August 24th. This is favorable for nine rising signs. However, Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising signs should be careful and patient.

Mercury is in Leo, in retrograde motion, and moves backwards into Cancer on August 21st, where it remains until it moves forward into Leo on September 4th. This three-week period may cause instability with stocks, business, finance, technology, and communications. Mercury then remains in Leo, September 4th – 22nd, where it is much more stable and connected with the government.

Jupiter transits Taurus, from 22:33 to 26:11°. Jupiter is outside the orb of influence of other planets and remains in the sign of Taurus until May 14, 2025. (See below for the impact for each rising sign.)

Venus transits out of Leo and into its debilitation sign, Virgo, August 24th at 2:46 p.m. CDT, where it remains until September 18th. Be patient with the women in your life, and with all significations of Venus, including the fine, healing or performing arts. Venus is under the seventh aspect of Saturn until August 23rd. This is favorable for nine rising signs. However, Cancer, Virgo, and Pisces rising signs should be careful and patient. Venus is under the fourth aspect of Mars until August 31st. This is favorable for nine rising signs. However, Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising signs should be careful and patient.

Saturn transits its own sign, Aquarius, from 23:34 to 21:24°. This is mostly favorable for the masses, the elderly, the poor and needy, agriculture, and manufacturing, along with the oil, gas, and minerals industries. This should also protect Social Security and Medicare, et al. Saturn is under the seventh aspect of Venus until August 23rd. This is favorable for nine rising signs. However, Taurus, Scorpio, and Pisces rising signs should be careful and patient. Saturn is under the seventh aspect of the Sun, September 3 – 12. This is favorable for nine rising signs. However, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces rising signs should be careful and patient.

Saturn is in retrograde motion, June 29th to November 15th. Contrary to popular belief, this causes adverse effects for only Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising signs – but only when Saturn is close to their rising sign degree or the degree of any planet – by aspect or conjunction — in any house or sign. For other rising signs, Saturn can bring favorable events under these same conditions.

Rahu and Ketu transit Pisces and Virgo, respectively, from 13:24 to 12:28°. Those persons with “even-numbered” rising signs, (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) should be careful and patient whenever Rahu and Ketu are within 5° of their rising sign degree (in any house), or within 5° of any planets in either the birth chart or the transit chart — in even signs.

It is important to watch the impact of Rahu and Ketu whenever they are within five degrees of your rising sign degree or the degree of any planet – by aspect or conjunction — in any house or sign. During these times it is best to get extra rest, watch your diet, and avoid stressful situations.
